Terms of use

These terms govern your use of verdictnotes.com ("this site"), operated by Matheus Cataneo, an individual based in Balneário Rincão, Santa Catarina, Brazil. By using the site you accept them. If you do not accept them, stop using the site.

1. Editorial nature of the content

This site publishes opinion and commentary about consumer products. Content is provided for general information only. We take reasonable care to describe products accurately, and we cannot guarantee that every specification, price, subscription term, warranty period, or return window stated here is current or complete. Manufacturers change these without notice and they differ by region and promotion.

Verify anything that matters to your purchase on the merchant's own site before you order. Where we could not confirm a figure, we say so rather than estimate it.

2. No professional advice

Nothing on this site is medical, health, legal, or financial advice. The devices discussed record and report measurements; they are consumer wellness products, not medical devices, and they do not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any condition. Consult a qualified clinician before making decisions about your health, and never disregard professional advice because of something you read here.

3. Affiliate relationships

We earn commissions on qualifying purchases made through outbound links on this site. This is disclosed at the top of every page and explained in full in our affiliate disclosure. Commissions do not change the price you pay and do not determine our conclusions.

4. Third-party sites and merchants

Outbound links lead to sites we neither own nor control. We are not a party to any transaction you enter into with a merchant, and we are not a seller, reseller, or agent of any manufacturer. Orders, payment, shipping, returns, refunds, warranty service, and customer support are entirely between you and that merchant, under their terms. Any dispute over an order must be raised with them.

5. Trademarks and independence

Product and company names mentioned on this site — including Hume, Whoop, and Oura — are trademarks of their respective owners and are used here for identification and comparison only, as nominative fair use. This site is independent. It is not affiliated with, authorized by, endorsed by, sponsored by, or operated by any of those companies, and no such relationship should be inferred from any mention here.

6. Our intellectual property

The text, layout, stylesheet, and original graphics on this site are our copyrighted work, © 2026 Verdict Notes. You may quote short excerpts with attribution and a link. You may not republish substantial portions, scrape the site systematically, or use its content to train commercial machine learning models without written permission.

7. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the site, its server, or any connected system.
• Interfere with the site's availability, including through automated request flooding.
• Use the site in violation of any applicable law, or to infringe anyone's rights.
• Misrepresent the site's content, or present it as endorsed by a brand mentioned on it.

8. Availability

The site is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We may change, suspend, or withdraw any part of it at any time, and we do not promise uninterrupted or error-free operation.

9. Disclaimer of warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement, in relation to this site and its content.

10. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any lost profits, lost data, or purchase you regret, arising out of your use of this site or your reliance on its content. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

11. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify us against claims and costs arising from your use of the site in breach of these terms or of applicable law.

12. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Federative Republic of Brazil, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules, and the courts of the operator's domicile in Santa Catarina, Brazil, have jurisdiction over disputes. This does not affect mandatory consumer protections available to you under the law of your own country or state of residence, which apply regardless of this clause.

13. Changes to these terms

We may revise these terms. The revision date above reflects the current version, and continued use of the site after a change means you accept it.
