Limitations of Liability
Gimbal.top, its contributors, and parent company CookiMedia shall not be held liable for any losses, damages, or disruptions caused by use or misuse of information published on the platform. Content is offered in good faith for educational and informational purposes, with no guarantees of accuracy, completeness, or fitness for a particular purpose.
Users are responsible for independently verifying technical data, product specifications, and compatibility requirements before making purchase decisions. Content is current at the time of writing, but updates, firmware changes, or market shifts may render some information obsolete. No liability is assumed for actions taken based on outdated or misunderstood content.
Damage to equipment, missed project deadlines, financial losses, or performance errors are not grounds for liability against the platform. Recommendations are grounded in real-world testing, but performance may vary by user, environment, and gear configuration.
All users acknowledge these limitations upon accessing the platform. Further clarification regarding liability and informational scope is provided in the Disclaimer, which complements these Terms & Conditions and the Privacy Policy.
External Links and Third-Party Resources
Gimbal.top frequently links to external websites for purposes such as vendor redirection, official product specifications, or tutorial enhancement.

The platform encourages transparency around all integrations, but cannot monitor changes made to external platforms.
Any issues, disputes, or security concerns tied to third-party resources should be addressed directly with those service providers. Users engage with external links at their own discretion and agree not to hold gimbal.top liable for any resulting consequences.
Affiliate Participation and Monetization
Gimbal.top participates in affiliate programs with select e-commerce platforms. Clicking on product links throughout guides, reviews, or comparison pages may result in commission earnings for the platform at no additional cost to the user. These affiliate earnings help support the cost of gear testing, contributor compensation, and site maintenance.
Affiliate links are placed only after content has been finalized. Contributors and editors are not incentivized to prioritize one brand over another. Review integrity is maintained in accordance with the Review Policy and Editorial Policy, ensuring that all product coverage remains unbiased and reader-first.
Affiliate tracking is managed via browser cookies, as disclosed in the Cookies Policy. These cookies track referral activity but do not collect personally identifiable information. Readers who prefer to avoid tracking can disable cookies through their browser or opt out of non-essential cookies using available settings.
