Terms & Conditions
How our services operate, what users can expect and important usage limitations
These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Compare A Price website, including any pages, features, tools and content made available through it (the “Website”). By using the Website, you confirm that you have read, understood and agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not use the Website.
1. About Compare A Price and What We Do
Compare A Price is a price comparison search engine that helps users discover and compare product listings, prices and related information from third-party retailers, marketplaces and affiliate partners. The Website is intended to provide an informational service that supports product research and comparison.
Compare A Price is developed, operated, and owned by Worldwide Software Solutions. References to “Compare A Price”, “we”, “us”, or “our” in these Terms refer to the Compare A Price platform as developed and operated by Worldwide Software Solutions.
Compare A Price is not a retailer, not a marketplace and does not sell products directly. We do not process orders, take payments, provide shipping, deliver goods, issue refunds, or handle returns. Any purchase you make will be with a third party and your relationship for that purchase is with the relevant third-party retailer or marketplace.
Because the Website is a comparison and discovery tool, information shown can include (without limitation) product titles, product images, brand references, pricing, availability indicators, retailer names and links to third-party websites. Such information may be supplied by retailers, marketplaces, affiliate networks, or data partners and may change without notice. Your use of the Website is at your own risk and is subject to the disclaimers and limitations set out in these Terms.
2. Definitions and Interpretation
In these Terms:
- “Compare A Price”, “we”, “us”, “our” means the operator of the Website.
- “You”, “your”, “user” means any person accessing or using the Website.
- “Retailer” means any third-party merchant, store, marketplace seller, or platform linked to or referenced on the Website.
- “Affiliate network/partner” means a third-party affiliate platform or programme through which we may earn commission (including, by way of example: Amazon, eBay, Awin, FlexOffers, Webgains, CJ Affiliate, Tradedoubler, Rakuten and others).
- “Listing(s)” means product listings, offers, price points, variants, seller entries, or similar entries presented on the Website.
- “Content” means all content on the Website, including text, images, data, software, layout, design and code.
- “Third-party content” means any content provided by a retailer, marketplace, affiliate partner, or other third party.
Headings are for convenience and do not affect interpretation. References to “including” are without limitation.
3. Eligibility and International Use
The Website is primarily aimed at users in the United Kingdom, but it may be accessed internationally. If you access the Website from outside the UK, you do so on your own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws to the extent they apply.
You must be capable of entering into binding agreements in your jurisdiction to use the Website. If you are under the age required to form a legally binding agreement where you live, you must not use the Website unless you have permission from a parent or legal guardian.
We may restrict access to the Website (in whole or part) in any country, region, or territory at our discretion.
4. No Accounts; No Retailer Uploads
Compare A Price does not provide user accounts as part of the Website at this time. You are not required to create an account to browse or use comparison functionality. If account features are introduced later, separate terms may apply.
Retailers and merchants do not upload listings directly to Compare A Price through a merchant portal (unless we explicitly state otherwise). Listings and data are generally supplied through affiliate networks, retailer feeds, APIs, or other data integrations. As a result, we may be reliant on third-party data sources for accuracy and completeness.
5. Nature of the Service; No Advice
The Website provides a comparison and discovery service only. Content is provided for general informational purposes and does not constitute advice of any kind, including financial, legal, technical, or professional advice.
We do not recommend specific products, sellers, or retailers and we do not guarantee that any listing shown is the best, cheapest, most suitable, or available. You are responsible for deciding whether a product is appropriate for your needs and for verifying all details directly with the retailer before purchase.
6. Affiliate Links, Commission and Commercial Relationships
The Website contains affiliate links. This means we may receive a commission or other benefit if you click a link to a retailer or marketplace and then take an action such as making a purchase. This commission is typically paid by the retailer or affiliate network and does not usually increase the price you pay, but pricing and promotions remain entirely within the retailer’s control.
We work with multiple affiliate networks and partners, which may include (non-exhaustively): Amazon, eBay, Awin, FlexOffers, Webgains, CJ Affiliate, Tradedoubler, Rakuten and others. The presence of a retailer on the Website does not imply endorsement, partnership, or a formal business relationship beyond any affiliate arrangements that may exist.
Affiliate tracking may involve cookies or similar technologies that help attribute a referral to Compare A Price. Details of cookies and tracking technologies are typically described in our Cookie Policy and Privacy Policy. You can choose to manage cookie preferences via your browser or any consent tools we provide, though doing so may affect how links operate.
We may display listings based on relevance, category structure, availability of data feeds, or other neutral signals. We do not guarantee that every retailer, every price, or every product is included. Retailers may appear or disappear over time based on data availability, affiliate participation, or other factors.
7. Price Accuracy, Availability and Product Information Disclaimer
Prices, availability, delivery costs, promotions and product specifications can change frequently. The Website may show “starting from” prices, ranges, or the most recent information available through our data sources. However, we cannot guarantee that prices or availability displayed on the Website will match the retailer’s website at the time you click through or purchase.
Retailers may also vary product listings by region, stock level, seller, condition (new/used/refurbished), marketplace seller terms and delivery options. Product titles and descriptions may be shortened or reformatted for display and may not reflect the full details available on the retailer’s website.
You must always verify the final price, taxes, shipping costs, returns policy, warranty details and any other purchase conditions directly on the retailer’s website before completing a purchase. Any reliance you place on information displayed on Compare A Price is at your
Where the Website displays product reviews, ratings, “stars”, or similar indicators, such information may be supplied by third parties or derived from data feeds. We do not guarantee the accuracy of third-party rating data and do not verify it independently unless explicitly stated.
8. Retailer Relationship; Purchases and Contracts
Any contract for the purchase of goods or services is formed between you and the retailer (or marketplace seller) only. Compare A Price is not a party to any contract between you and a retailer.
We do not:
- process payments,
- accept orders,
- provide delivery,
- handle returns or refunds,
- provide warranties,
- resolve retailer disputes.
If you have an issue with a product, delivery, refund, return, warranty, or any other matter relating to a purchase, you must contact the retailer directly. Retailers are solely responsible for compliance with applicable consumer protection laws, including UK consumer legislation where relevant.
We may, at our discretion, remove or update a retailer listing if we become aware of inaccuracies or issues, but we have no obligation to do so.
9. Third-Party Websites, Marketplaces and External Links
The Website contains links to third-party websites, including retailer and marketplace pages. These links are provided for convenience and to enable comparison and discovery.
We do not control third-party websites, their content, their security, their availability, or their business practices. We are not responsible for third-party website content, terms, privacy practices, customer service, or fulfilment. When you click through to a retailer, you are subject to that retailer’s terms and policies.
You should review the retailer’s terms and privacy policy before purchasing or sharing personal information. If you choose to interact with third-party websites, you do so at your own risk.

This limitation reflects the fact that the Website is provided as an informational comparison service and that transactions occur with third parties.

If you are accessing the Website internationally, these Terms still apply to your use of the Website and you agree that UK law will govern the interpretation and enforcement of these Terms to the extent legally permissible.
