4. Affiliate Relationship Disclosure

Spare and Strike participates in affiliate marketing programs, which means we may earn commissions on purchases made through links on our Site.

As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. This site is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. Amazon and the Amazon logo are trademarks of Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates. Affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial ratings or recommendations.

We may also participate in other affiliate programs with retailers, pro shops, and manufacturers. Any compensation we receive from affiliate partnerships helps support the operation of this Site, including product testing and content creation, but it does not determine which products we choose to review or how we rate them. Our editorial independence is a core value of Spare and Strike.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Spare and Strike, its owners, operators, employees, contributors, and affiliates shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages whatsoever, including but not limited to damages for loss of profits, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising out of or in connection with:

This limitation applies regardless of the legal theory on which a claim is based, whether in contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you.

8. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Spare and Strike and its owners, operators, employees, and affiliates from any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or in any way connected with your violation of these Terms or your misuse of the Site.
