Welcome to Trinket Harbor (trinketharbor.com). These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of our website, articles, reviews, and any related content or services (collectively, the "Site"). By visiting or using the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Site immediately.
1. Acceptable Use
You agree to use the Site only for lawful purposes and in a manner that does not infringe upon or restrict anyone else's use and enjoyment of it. When using Trinket Harbor, you agree not to:
- Copy, scrape, republish, or redistribute our content without prior written permission.
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to our servers, databases, or any connected systems.
- Upload or transmit viruses, malware, or any code designed to disrupt or damage the Site's functionality.
- Use automated tools (bots, crawlers, scrapers) to harvest data from the Site beyond standard search engine indexing.

We reserve the right to restrict, suspend, or terminate access to the Site for any user who violates these Terms, at our sole discretion and without prior notice.
2. Editorial Content, Reviews, and Opinions
Trinket Harbor publishes reviews, guides, comparisons, and commentary related to jewelry and accessories, including materials, craftsmanship, sizing, durability, and value for money. Please understand the following about our content:
- All reviews, ratings, and opinions expressed on this Site reflect the personal views and experiences of our writers and contributors at the time of publication.
- Jewelry quality, sizing, plating durability, and stone authenticity can vary between production batches, sellers, and individual units, even for identically listed products. Your personal experience with a product may differ from what is described in our reviews.
- We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or reliability of any content on the Site. Prices, availability, seller policies, and product specifications change frequently and are outside our control.
- Nothing on this Site constitutes professional appraisal, gemological certification, financial advice, or a guarantee of resale value.
- Content is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.
You are solely responsible for conducting your own research and due diligence before making any purchasing decision based on information found on this Site.
3. Affiliate Relationships
This site participates in the AliExpress affiliate programme. We earn a small commission on qualifying purchases at no extra cost to you. Affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial ratings or recommendations.
We only recommend products we believe may be of interest or value to our readers based on our editorial research and testing standards. Commission earnings help support the operational costs of running Trinket Harbor, including research, content creation, and site maintenance. You are never obligated to use our affiliate links, and doing so does not increase the price you pay.
4. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Trinket Harbor, its owners, contributors, and affiliates shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages arising out of or related to your use of the Site, reliance on any content published here, or any transaction conducted with a third-party seller or retailer referenced on the Site.
This includes, without limitation, damages resulting from product defects, shipping delays, customs issues, allergic reactions to materials, misrepresented product listings, or any dispute between you and a third-party merchant. Your use of third-party links and services is entirely at your own risk and subject to the terms and policies of those third parties.
Nothing in these Terms is intended to exclude or limit liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.
5. Third-Party Links and Services
The Site may contain links to third-party websites, marketplaces, or services, including AliExpress and other retail platforms. We do not control and are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, terms, or business practices of any third-party site. Inclusion of a link does not imply endorsement beyond our editorial assessment at the time of publication.
6. Intellectual Property
All original content on Trinket Harbor, including text, graphics, logos, and layout, is the property of Trinket Harbor unless otherwise credited. You may share links to our content or quote brief excerpts with proper attribution, but reproduction of substantial portions of our content without permission is prohibited.

Any disputes arising from these Terms or your use of the Site shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in that jurisdiction, unless otherwise required by applicable consumer protection law.
