Terms & Conditions

By using thehightechsociety.com you agree to these terms, which together with our privacy policy govern your use of the site. Throughout this page, “we” and “us” refer to the owner of the site, and “you” refers to the reader.

Using the Site

The content on this site is for your general information and use only, and it is subject to change without notice. Nothing here is legal, financial, or professional advice. Your use of any information on this site is at your own risk. Before you rely on a product or service we cover, make sure it meets your own requirements.

Software & Downloads

We review and link to third-party software, but we do not make or sell it. Downloads and purchases happen on the vendor’s site, under the vendor’s terms, not ours. Check the system requirements before you install anything, and scan every download with your own security software. We are not responsible for damage caused by third-party software you choose to install.

Monitoring Software & the Law

Some software we cover, including parental control and phone monitoring apps, is legal only with proper consent, and the rules differ by country and state. Our guides describe what the software can do; they are not permission to use it against anyone. You are solely responsible for using such software lawfully. In most places that means only on devices you own, with the informed consent of the person being monitored, or on a minor child in your care where local law allows.

Our Content

The design, layout, graphics, and articles on this site are owned by or licensed to us. You may quote brief excerpts with attribution under fair use, but reproduction beyond that requires our prior written consent. Trademarks reproduced on this site that are not our property are acknowledged as belonging to their owners.

Linking

You are welcome to link to our articles. We ask three things: do not present our content as your own, do not hotlink our images, and do not imply an endorsement we have not given.

From time to time we link out to other websites for further information. Those links are provided for convenience only. They do not signify that we endorse the linked site, and we are not responsible for external content.

Affiliate Relationships

Some outbound links on this site are affiliate links, which means we may earn a commission if you buy through them. As an Amazon Associate, The High Tech Society earns from qualifying purchases. You can read how this works in our full affiliate disclosure.

No Warranty & Limitation of Liability

This site is provided as-is. Neither we nor any third parties guarantee the accuracy, timeliness, completeness, or suitability of the information found here for any particular purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we exclude liability for inaccuracies, errors, and any loss or damage arising from your use of the site.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms at any time. Continued use of the site means you accept the current version. The date at the top of this page reflects the latest revision.
