Terms of service

SortedChoice publishes independent research and recommendations about consumer products. It is operated by Jayesh Gavit, an individual operating as a sole proprietor in India, trading as SortedChoice, contactable at gavitjayesh08@gmail.com. By using the site you agree to these terms.

We are a publisher, not a shop. We do not sell products, take payment, hold stock, or ship anything. When you follow a link to a retailer, your purchase is a contract between you and that retailer, and we are not a party to it.

Verdicts and scores are our honest editorial opinion at the time of writing, formed by the method set out in How we research. They are information to help you decide — not professional, financial, medical, or safety advice.

They are written for a general reader and they are not a finding of fact about any product. What is right for you turns on your use, your budget, what you already own, and where you are — all of which we cannot see. Our disclaimer sets out where our judgement stops and yours begins, and it forms part of these terms.

Specifications, prices, and availability change constantly and may be out of date. Always confirm the details on the retailer’s own page before buying; that page is authoritative and ours is not.

• You must be at least 13 years old to create an account.
• Give accurate details, keep your password to yourself, and tell us promptly if you think someone else has got into your account.
• You are responsible for activity that happens under your account.
• You may delete your account whenever you like, from your settings.

When you post a review, rating, or image you confirm that:

• it is your own genuine experience of the product;
• you have no undisclosed commercial interest in it;
• it is yours to post, and posting it infringes nobody’s rights;
• it contains no abuse, no private information about other people, and nothing unlawful.

You keep ownership of what you write. You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, display, and distribute it on the site — that licence is what allows us to publish it at all.

We may remove content that breaks these rules, on the grounds set out in our editorial policy. We do not remove reviews for being critical.

Do not:

• attempt to manipulate ratings, whether by fake reviews, multiple accounts, or coordinated voting;
• scrape, harvest, or bulk-copy the site’s content for republication or to train a model, without our written permission;
• interfere with the service — probing, overloading, or circumventing security measures;
• impersonate anyone, or misrepresent a commercial interest as a personal one.

We may suspend or close accounts that do these things, and where the conduct is unlawful we will report it.

The site’s text, design, scoring methodology, and branding belong to SortedChoice. You are welcome to quote us with attribution and a link. Wholesale reproduction of our verdicts or scores is not permitted without permission. Product names, logos, and images belong to their respective owners.

The site is provided as it is. We work hard to be accurate but we do not warrant that everything on it is complete, current, or error-free.

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for losses arising from your reliance on our recommendations, from a purchase you make from a retailer, or from the site being unavailable. Nothing here limits liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited — and nothing here affects your statutory consumer rights against a retailer.

Complaints about anything published here, about content another reader has posted, or about your personal data go to our Grievance Officer, Jayesh Gavit, at gavitjayesh08@gmail.com. We acknowledge within 24 hours and resolve within 15 days.

The full process — including what to put in a copyright or trademark notice, what happens if we have written about your product, and where to escalate if we get it wrong — is set out in grievance redressal. This is published under rule 3(2) of the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021.

These terms, and any dispute arising out of them or out of your use of the site, are governed by the laws of India, and the courts of India have exclusive jurisdiction.

If you are a consumer resident elsewhere, this does not deprive you of the protection of any mandatory consumer law of your own country, and it does not take away a right to bring proceedings there where the law gives you one.

If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest continues to apply. A delay in enforcing a term is not a waiver of it.

We may update these terms; the effective date at the top always reflects the current version, and we will notify account holders of material changes rather than relying on you to notice.

You may stop using the site at any time. We may suspend access where these terms are broken. The sections on intellectual property, liability, and your review licence survive.
