Disclaimer
1. General information
Pricemal is a price-comparison, coupon, deal, shopping-information and referral platform.
Pricemal provides product information, prices, availability information, coupons, promotions, store and brand information, guides, comparisons and links to third-party merchants for general informational purposes.
Content available through Pricemal should not be treated as a guarantee, professional advice or a substitute for reviewing the merchant’s current information and transaction conditions.
Although Pricemal may take reasonable steps to collect, organise, review and update information, some information is supplied automatically or manually by merchants, manufacturers, distributors, affiliate networks, data providers and other third-party sources.
2. Pricemal is not the seller
Pricemal is an information and referral platform. Pricemal does not directly sell the products displayed on the website unless expressly stated otherwise.
Pricemal does not normally:
- Accept or process payments for merchant purchases.
- Store payment-card information for merchant transactions.
- Determine merchant stock availability.
- Manufacture, inspect, test, package or deliver products.
- Issue merchant warranties.
- Approve merchant cancellations, returns or refunds.
- Act as the seller, distributor, manufacturer or authorised representative of a listed product.
Any purchase is made from the third-party merchant selected by the user.
The merchant is responsible for the transaction, payment, delivery, product condition, quality, authenticity, stock, warranty, cancellation, return and refund.
3. No merchant agency or partnership
Displaying a merchant, product, logo, offer or link on Pricemal does not by itself create an agency, partnership, joint venture, employment, franchise or representative relationship between Pricemal and that merchant.
Merchants operate independently and are responsible for their own websites, products, services, statements and conduct.
4. Prices and currency
Prices displayed on Pricemal may be obtained from merchants, affiliate networks, product feeds, manufacturers, distributors or other third-party sources.
Prices may change without notice and may not always update immediately on Pricemal.
The price available to a particular user may vary because of:
- Location or delivery address.
- Currency or exchange-rate movements.
- Account or membership status.
- Product colour, size, capacity or variation.
- Payment method.
- Delivery charges.
- Taxes, customs charges or other fees.
- Merchant-specific pricing.
- The time at which the merchant’s information was updated.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, a displayed price may not include delivery fees, taxes, customs charges, installation fees or other transaction costs.
The merchant’s website at checkout is the final source for the price applicable to the transaction.
5. Price updates and data delays
Pricemal may receive information through automated feeds, APIs, affiliate networks, manual updates or other external sources.
There may be a delay between a change on the merchant’s website and the corresponding update on Pricemal.
Temporary technical, network, feed or integration problems may also result in information being incomplete, delayed, duplicated, incorrectly matched or unavailable.
Pricemal does not guarantee that every merchant price will be updated in real time.
6. Savings, discounts and reference prices
Displayed savings, discount percentages and price reductions may be calculated using a merchant-provided list price, recommended retail price, previous price, reference price, promotional price or another available comparison value.
A displayed saving does not necessarily represent:
- The lowest historical price.
- The lowest price available from every merchant.
- A saving available to every user.
- A saving available in every location.
- A saving that will remain available at checkout.
- A reduction from a price at which the product was previously sold by every merchant.
Users should verify the final price and claimed saving on the merchant’s website before completing a transaction.
7. Availability and delivery information
Product availability, delivery time, delivery coverage and collection options are controlled by the merchant.
A product displayed as available on Pricemal may become unavailable, be restricted to selected locations or have different delivery terms by the time the user visits the merchant’s website.
Pricemal does not guarantee stock availability, order acceptance, dispatch time or delivery date.
8. Product details and specifications
Product descriptions, specifications, model numbers, compatibility information, ratings, warranty information and other details may be supplied by third parties.
Information may contain errors or may refer to another version, region, model or product variation.
Users should verify important details with the merchant or manufacturer, including:
- Exact model number and regional version.
- Colour, size, capacity and dimensions.
- Compatibility.
- Included accessories.
- Software or operating-system support.
- Electrical or technical requirements.
- Warranty coverage and warranty provider.
9. Product images
Product images may be provided by merchants, manufacturers, affiliate partners or other sources.
Images may be illustrative and may not show the exact colour, size, packaging, accessories or regional version offered by the merchant.
Screen settings, image processing and photographic conditions may also affect how colours and product details appear.
Users should confirm the exact product and included contents on the merchant’s website before purchasing.
10. Product condition and authenticity
Pricemal does not physically inspect products listed by external merchants.
Unless clearly stated by the merchant, Pricemal cannot independently confirm whether a product is new, used, refurbished, open-box, imported, locally warranted or covered by a manufacturer warranty.
Questions about product condition, origin, authenticity and warranty should be directed to the merchant before purchase.
11. Product safety and recalls
Pricemal does not test products for safety, regulatory compliance or suitability.
Users should follow the manufacturer’s safety instructions and check relevant manufacturer or authority notices where product safety or recalls may be relevant.
Safety concerns relating to a purchased product should be reported to the merchant, manufacturer or appropriate authority.
12. Coupons, vouchers and promotional codes
Coupons, vouchers, deals and promotional codes may be subject to terms imposed by the relevant merchant or affiliate partner.

Pricemal does not guarantee that a coupon, voucher, promotion or deal will remain available, apply to a particular order or be accepted by the merchant.
13. Affiliate disclosure
Some links on Pricemal are affiliate or tracking links.
Pricemal may receive a commission or another benefit when a user clicks a link, purchases a product or completes another qualifying action.
This generally does not increase the price paid by the user, although the final price and transaction terms remain controlled by the merchant.
Commission eligibility, tracking and reporting are determined by the relevant merchant or affiliate partner.
Pricemal does not guarantee that an outbound click, transaction or other interaction will be attributed or generate commission.
14. Sponsored and paid placements
Some products, stores, offers or content may receive increased visibility because of a sponsored, promotional or commercial arrangement.
Sponsored or paid placements should be identified where applicable.
A sponsored position does not guarantee that the product or merchant is the cheapest, best, highest-quality or most suitable option for every user.
15. Rankings and ordering
The order or visibility of products, stores, coupons, deals and content may reflect one or more factors, including:
- Relevance.
- Price.
- Availability.
- Data quality and completeness.
- Popularity.
- Recency.
- User interactions.
- Editorial selection.
- Technical compatibility.
- Affiliate-tracking availability.
- Commercial arrangements.
Not every available merchant, product or offer is necessarily included.
A first-listed or featured result is not guaranteed to be the best, cheapest or most suitable option.
16. Recommendations and suitability
Any recommendation, featured listing, popularity indicator or comparison is general and is not personalised professional advice.
Pricemal does not know every user’s individual requirements, budget, intended use or personal circumstances.
Users are responsible for deciding whether a product, merchant or offer is suitable for their needs.
17. Reviews, ratings and popularity information
Where reviews, ratings or popularity information are displayed, they may originate from merchants, users, third-party sources, aggregated interactions or editorial assessment.
Pricemal does not guarantee that every review or rating is independently verified, complete or representative of every user’s experience.
Popularity does not necessarily indicate quality, suitability or value.
18. Financing, instalment and payment information
Where financing, instalment, buy-now-pay-later or payment-plan information is displayed, that information is provided for general informational purposes.
Pricemal is not the lender, credit provider or payment provider unless expressly stated.
Eligibility, approval, fees, interest, credit assessment and final terms are determined by the relevant merchant, bank, lender or payment provider.
Users should review the provider’s complete terms before entering into a payment or financing arrangement.
19. Third-party merchants
Merchants operate independently from Pricemal.
Pricemal does not control and is not responsible for a merchant’s:
- Order acceptance or cancellation.
- Payment processing.
- Stock allocation.
- Delivery or collection.
- Product quality or authenticity.
- Customer service.
- Warranty handling.
- Returns or refunds.
Questions or complaints about a transaction should be directed to the merchant that completed the transaction.
20. External links and websites
Links may direct users to websites, applications or services operated independently by third parties.
Pricemal does not control the external party’s:
- Content.
- Security.
- Availability.
- Accessibility.
- Privacy practices.
- Cookies or tracking.
- Payment systems.
- Customer service.
A link does not necessarily mean that Pricemal endorses every product, statement, policy or practice of the external party.
Users should review the external website’s terms, privacy policy and transaction details before proceeding.
21. Redirects and affiliate tracking
An outbound link may pass through an affiliate, attribution or measurement service before reaching the merchant’s website.
These redirects may be used to measure referrals, support affiliate reporting, prevent duplicate attribution or investigate misuse.
The final destination, transaction and subsequent processing are controlled by the external merchant or service provider.
Further information is provided in the Privacy and Cookie Policy.
22. Editorial content and guides
Guides, articles, comparisons, summaries and recommendations are provided for general informational purposes.
They may reflect information available at the time they were prepared and may not immediately reflect later changes in products, prices, merchants or market conditions.
Editorial content does not constitute financial, legal, medical, technical or other professional advice.
Users should obtain appropriate professional advice where a decision requires it.
23. Third-party names, logos and trademarks
Third-party names, logos, product images and trademarks belong to their respective owners.
Their appearance on Pricemal is for identification, comparison and informational purposes.
Their appearance does not by itself imply sponsorship, endorsement, authorisation or partnership.
24. Website availability
Pricemal aims to maintain a reliable website but does not guarantee uninterrupted, error-free or continuous operation.
Access may be affected by:
- Maintenance and upgrades.
- Technical faults.
- Hosting or network problems.
- Cyberattacks or security events.
- Third-party service failures.
- Government action.
- Natural events or circumstances beyond reasonable control.
Pricemal may modify, suspend, restrict or remove a page, listing, feature or service where reasonably necessary.
25. Website security
Pricemal uses reasonable measures intended to protect the website and its information.
However, no website, network or online transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Users are responsible for maintaining the security of their own devices, browsers, internet connections and accounts used on merchant websites.
A suspected security issue should be reported through the Contact Us page. Users must not exploit a suspected vulnerability or attempt to access information that does not belong to them.

- Obtaining a particular discount.
- Successfully redeeming a coupon.
- Completing a purchase.
- Receiving commission attribution.
- Receiving a particular financial, commercial or personal benefit.
27. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Pricemal is not responsible for indirect, incidental, special or consequential losses arising solely from:
- Inaccurate, incomplete, delayed or outdated third-party information.
- A merchant’s acts, omissions, products or services.

28. Consumer rights
Nothing in this Disclaimer excludes, restricts or limits a mandatory consumer right or protection available under applicable law.
Where a statement in this Disclaimer conflicts with a mandatory legal requirement, the mandatory requirement will apply to the extent of the conflict.
Because the external merchant is the seller, product, payment, delivery, warranty, cancellation, return and refund claims should normally be directed to that merchant.
29. Reporting incorrect or infringing content
Users, merchants and rights holders may report inaccurate, outdated, misleading or potentially infringing content through the Contact Us page.
The report should identify the relevant page or material and explain the requested correction.
Pricemal may investigate and, where appropriate, correct, update, restrict or remove content.
Pricemal cannot guarantee an immediate response or a particular outcome.
30. Changes to this Disclaimer
Pricemal may update this Disclaimer when its services, information sources, technology, laws or operating practices change.
The effective date, last-updated date and version number will be updated whenever a revised version is published.
