Legal & editorial
Terms of Use
Effective / last substantive review notation:
1. Acceptance & electronic agreement
By loading, bookmarking, or otherwise using Judaica Advisor’s public-facing pages (“Services”), you agree to these Terms. If any clause is unenforceable in your jurisdiction, remaining provisions persist to the maximal extent permissible. Silence or omission does not waive future enforcement.
2. Description of Judaica Advisor
Judaica Advisor produces editorial benchmarking materials—comparison matrices, FAQs, methodological essays, illustrative graphics, JSON-driven templates for reuse—centering Judaica gifting and ritual ecommerce. We are not merchants; we aggregate publicly stated policies, SKU positioning, illustrative pricing snapshots, reputational anecdotes, experiential editor notes—we do **not** verify kosher supervisory agencies, scribal pedigree, hallmark authenticity claims, tariff exposure, brokerage charges, fulfillment SLAs contemporaneously minute-by-minute.
3. Acceptable use
You promise not to:
- Harvest our assets at abusive rates contrary to robots guidance or infrastructure fair use.
- Use automated overlays to spoof affiliate payouts, poison analytics, degrade edge caches, brute credentials on placeholder forms.
- Republish scraped wholesale exports without transformational commentary + canonical attribution—we welcome fair quotation with credit.
- Harass reviewers, spoof legal threats, bombard mailboxes unrelated to substantive editorial escalation.
4. Monetization disclosures & consumer expectations
Comparative rankings may remunerate Judaica Advisor when outbound shopping occurs through tracked URLs. Monetization pathways do **not** purchase placement carte blanche—we maintain methodology guardrails enumerated in Editorial standards and reiterated in Affiliate disclosures. Consumers remain parties solely to storefront terms when leaving our domain—price, rebate, rebate clawbacks, substitutions, counterfeit enforcement, kosher vigilance—all lie with merchants/networks/card issuers/customs regimes.
5. Intellectual property
Original prose markup, illustrative SVG marks we generate in-house for mock directories, typography pairings within layout CSS, methodological charts—subject to Judaica Advisor copyrights unless credited third-party OSS. Trademark rights to retailer names remain with respective proprietors—we reference nominatively for truthful comparison commentary. Open licensing for code components follows repository metadata at root wherever applicable once published.
6. Disclaimer of warranties & limitation of liability
Services provided “AS IS” / “AS AVAILABLE.” To the fullest extent permitted, Judaica Advisor, its collaborators, freelancers, heirs, successors disclaim warranties of merchantability, fitness, uninterrupted availability, completeness, suitability for ceremonial law compliance. Editorial opinions do not constitute halachic p’sak nor jeweler appraisals nor investment guidance. Neither party liable for consequential, indirect punitive damages except where statutes forbid waivers—in which case liabilities cap at tangible fees you paid Judaica Advisor (currently zero browsing fee) or USD100, whichever larger, unless courts disagree.
7. Indemnity flows
You indemnify Judaica Advisor against third-party allegations arising from your misuse of scraped exports, counterfeit claims you instigate improperly, phishing campaigns referencing our brand without authorization. Conversely, Judaica Advisor will defend proportionally against knowingly frivolous SLAPP attempts aimed at chilling comparative speech—budget permitting.
8. Governing law / venue placeholders
Operational counsel has not finalized corporate domicile. Until then, designate New York County, NY, USA as tentative exclusive venue for adjudicating disputes tethered expressly to Judaica Advisor’s contractual instruments once executed. Consumer mandatory rights supersede contradictory venue clauses wherever law demands.
9. Revisions
We may materially refresh these Terms. Material changes appear with updated effective date headings; habitual readers should revisit after deploy notifications noted in changelog footers or RSS parity when introduced. Continuation after conspicuous publication signals agreement absent contrary mandatory rules.
