Terms of Use

Last updated: 17 September 2026

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of Hardware Freaks (https://hardware.nrgnews.net) and its sibling publications under the NRG News Network (together, the "Sites"), operated by [LEGAL ENTITY NAME] ("we", "us", "the Network"). By using a Site, you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the Site.

Use of the Sites

The Sites are made available for your personal, non-commercial use. You may not reproduce, republish, or redistribute our content in whole or in substantial part without prior written permission, except as allowed under "Using our content" below, or as permitted by applicable copyright law (e.g. fair use/fair dealing quotation).

You agree not to: interfere with the Sites' normal operation (including scraping at a rate that degrades service, or bypassing access controls); use the Sites for any unlawful purpose; or misrepresent your affiliation with us.

Using our content

You're welcome to quote a short excerpt of an article with a clear, visible link back to the original page. Full-text reproduction, scraping for republication, or use of our content to train machine learning models requires our prior written permission — contact editorial@nrgnews.net.

Intellectual property

Unless otherwise credited, the text, graphics, logos, and other material on the Sites are owned by or licensed to us and protected by copyright and trademark law. Brand names, logos, and site names referenced on the Sites belong to their respective owners.

Third-party links and services

The Sites link to third-party websites we don't control, including retailers, social networks, and other publications — we aren't responsible for their content, policies, or practices. Some outbound links (for example, to Amazon) are affiliate links: see Editorial Integrity for how that works and how it does — and doesn't — affect our coverage.

Copyright complaints

If you believe material on a Site infringes your copyright, contact editorial@nrgnews.net with a description of the work, its location on the Site, and your contact details, and we'll investigate promptly.

Disclaimer

The Sites and their content are provided "as is", without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We make reasonable efforts to keep content accurate and up to date, but we don't guarantee its accuracy, completeness, or fitness for any particular purpose, and nothing on the Sites constitutes financial, legal, medical, or other professional advice.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we won't be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, the Sites. [PLACEHOLDER — confirm this section against the law of your chosen governing jurisdiction; some jurisdictions don't permit this kind of exclusion.]

Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of [GOVERNING LAW JURISDICTION — to be confirmed], without regard to its conflict-of-law provisions.

Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time; the "Last updated" date above reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of a Site after a change takes effect means you accept the revised Terms.
