2. Content, Reviews, and Opinions
Bath and Bag publishes reviews, comparisons, buying guides, and opinions relating to sous vide immersion circulators, precision cookers, vacuum sealers, water bath containers, and related kitchen equipment. All content reflects the personal opinions, testing methods, and experiences of our writers and editors at the time of publication.
We make reasonable efforts to ensure accuracy, but product specifications, pricing, availability, and manufacturer claims change frequently and without notice. We do not guarantee that any review, rating, recommendation, or piece of information on the Site is complete, current, or error-free. Nothing on this Site constitutes professional, safety, culinary, or health advice, and any temperature guidance, cooking time, or food-safety information should be verified against current USDA or equivalent local food-safety guidelines before use.
All content is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement. Your reliance on any review or opinion published on the Site is entirely at your own risk.
3. Affiliate Disclosure
Bath and Bag participates in affiliate marketing programs, which means we may earn commissions on qualifying purchases made through links on our Site, at no additional cost to you.
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 similar affiliate programs with other retailers and manufacturers. Regardless of any affiliate relationship, our product evaluations, star ratings, and written recommendations are based on our own independent testing criteria and editorial judgment.
4. Intellectual Property
Unless otherwise noted, all text, graphics, logos, images, and other materials on the Site are the property of Bath and Bag or its content licensors and are protected by applicable copyright and trademark laws. You may share links to our content or quote brief excerpts with proper attribution, but you may not republish, redistribute, or create derivative works from our content without prior written permission.
5. Third-Party Links
The Site contains links to third-party websites, including retailer product pages and manufacturer sites, for your convenience. We do not control and are not responsible for the content, accuracy, privacy practices, or availability of any linked third-party site.

6. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Bath and Bag, its owners, employees, and contributors shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages arising out of or in connection with your access to, use of, or inability to use the Site, including but not limited to damages related to purchasing decisions made based on our reviews, product malfunction, food-safety incidents, or reliance on any content published on the Site.
This limitation applies regardless of the legal theory asserted, whether in contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise, and 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.
