Disclaimer Notice
This Disclaimer Notice applies to the website located at https://proscost.com/ (the “Website”), operated by Tom (referred to as “we,” “us,” or “our”). It explains the legal basis on which information, reviews, recommendations, deals, and links are published on the Website.
By using the Website, you acknowledge that you have read this Disclaimer Notice and agree to it. If you do not agree, please stop using the Website.
1. General Information Disclaimer
The Content published on ProsCost — including software reviews, comparisons, opinion pieces, deal listings, coupon codes, screenshots, and tutorials — is provided for general informational purposes only. While we make a good-faith effort to keep the Content accurate, complete, and up to date, we make no warranties or representations of any kind regarding the accuracy, reliability, suitability, or availability of the information.
Software products evolve quickly. Pricing, features, license terms, system requirements, support policies, and refund policies can change without notice. Always verify the current details with the publisher or vendor before making a purchase.
Any decision you make based on Content published on the Website is your own. We are not responsible for any loss, damage, or inconvenience that may result from such decisions.
2. FTC Affiliate Disclosure
This disclosure is intended to comply with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s “Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising” and any similar guidance in other jurisdictions.
ProsCost participates in affiliate programs operated by software vendors and third-party affiliate networks. You should assume that many of the links and coupon codes on the Website are affiliate links. This means that:
- When you click on an affiliate link or use a coupon code that we have published, the destination merchant may pay us a commission if you go on to make a purchase.
- The price you pay is not increased because of an affiliate link. The commission is paid by the merchant out of its own marketing budget.
- The Website is supported in part by these commissions, which help fund the time spent testing software, writing reviews, and maintaining the Website.
Affiliate participation does not influence editorial conclusions. We evaluate products based on their merits and recommend only what we believe will be useful to readers, regardless of whether a particular product offers a commission.
The affiliate networks and advertising programs we may participate in include, but are not limited to:
- Affiliate networks operated by individual software publishers and SaaS vendors.
- Third-party affiliate marketplaces that aggregate offers from many merchants.
- Coupon partner platforms.
If you would prefer not to use an affiliate link, you can usually reach the same product directly by typing the publisher’s main website address into your browser.
3. Product Reviews and Compensation
In the course of preparing reviews and tutorials, we may receive free trial licenses, NFR (not-for-resale) licenses, review copies, or temporary access to paid features from software publishers. These arrangements are common in the technology press and allow us to test products that we would otherwise have to purchase.
Receiving a review copy does not buy a positive review. Where compensation has been received in connection with a review — whether monetary, in the form of a free product, or otherwise — the review will identify this fact, in keeping with FTC guidance and similar rules in other jurisdictions.
The opinions expressed in any review are those of the author at the time of writing, based on hands-on testing, publicly available information, and reasonable comparisons with similar products.
4. Coupon Codes, Deals, and Pricing
Coupon codes, discount listings, and “deal of the day” type Content on the Website are gathered from public promotions, vendor partnerships, and affiliate networks. We make a good-faith effort to verify them at the time of publication, but:
- Coupons and discounts can expire, be limited to certain regions or user types, or be revoked by the merchant at any time.
- Final pricing, taxes, currency conversion, and applicable fees are determined by the merchant at checkout and may differ from the price displayed on ProsCost.
- We are not responsible for technical errors at the merchant’s checkout, for orders that are refused, or for differences between the deal advertised on the Website and the deal honored by the merchant.
If a coupon does not work, please reach the merchant’s support team directly. You can also let us know through https://proscost.com/contact-us/ so we can update or remove the listing.
5. External Links Disclaimer
The Website contains links to external websites that are not owned, controlled, or operated by us. These include affiliate partners, software publisher websites, official documentation pages, news sources, and reference materials.
We provide these links for your convenience and information only. We do not control the content, security, accuracy, availability, or privacy practices of external websites, and we are not responsible for them. Following a link to an external website is at your own risk, and your use of that website will be governed by its own terms and policies.
The presence of a link, mention, or screenshot does not imply that we endorse the linked party or its content, products, or services beyond what is expressly stated in the article in question.
6. No Professional Advice
The information published on the Website is general in nature and is not professional advice. It is not a substitute for advice from a qualified professional in fields such as:
- Information security, cybersecurity, or incident response.
- Information technology architecture, deployment, or systems administration.
- Legal, tax, accounting, or compliance matters.
- Data protection, privacy law, or regulatory compliance.
If you need advice tailored to your specific situation — for example, choosing a backup strategy for a regulated industry, configuring software in a complex enterprise environment, or evaluating the legal implications of a software license — please consult a qualified professional. Do not act, or refrain from acting, solely on the basis of Content published on the Website.
7. Errors and Omissions
We do our best to ensure that the Content published on the Website is correct, but errors and omissions can occur. Software changes, vendor websites are reorganized, prices fluctuate, and new versions are released. There may be:
- Typographical errors or formatting mistakes.
- Outdated screenshots, version numbers, or feature lists.
- Pricing or availability information that is no longer accurate.
- Broken links or missing images.
We are not responsible for any loss or inconvenience caused by such errors or omissions. If you spot one, please let us know through https://proscost.com/contact-us/ so we can correct it.
