Terms of Use
Terms of Use
These terms govern your use of the Dovetail & Dust website. By using the site, you agree to them. They are written to be read, not to hide anything — last updated July 18, 2026.
1. Acceptance of these terms
By accessing or using dovetailanddust.com (the "site"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use and by our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the site. We may update these terms from time to time, and continued use after a change means you accept the revised terms.
2. Informational content only
Everything on Dovetail & Dust is provided for general informational and educational purposes. Our reviews, scores, and buying guides are editorial opinions formed from published manufacturer specifications, manuals, and owner reviews, as described in our methodology. They are not professional, safety, or purchasing advice tailored to your situation. Always do your own diligence and confirm a tool suits your specific needs before you buy.
3. Safety
Woodworking involves sharp hand tools and powerful machinery that can cause serious injury. Nothing on this site is a substitute for the manufacturer's own safety instructions. You are solely responsible for using any tool safely, in accordance with the manufacturer's manual, guards, and recommended protective equipment, and in line with your own skill level and local regulations. If you are unsure how to use a tool safely, seek qualified in-person instruction.
4. Affiliate links
The site contains affiliate links, and we may earn a commission when you buy through them at no extra cost to you. This does not affect our rankings. Full details are in our affiliate disclosure, which forms part of these terms.
5. No warranty on prices or availability
Prices, availability, specifications, and product details change constantly and are outside our control. We show live, date-stamped prices where we can and omit a price rather than display a stale one, but we cannot guarantee that any price or detail is current at the moment you act on it. The price, availability, and terms shown by the retailer at checkout — for Amazon purchases, Amazon's — govern your purchase. Always verify the final details on the retailer's own page before buying.
6. Limitation of liability
The site is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Dovetail & Dust, its publisher Type 5 Marketing LLC, and its contributors will not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential loss or damage arising from your use of the site, from reliance on its content, or from any product you purchase through a link on the site. Your use of the information here, and of any tool, is at your own risk.
7. Intellectual property
The content on this site — the writing, scoring, layout, and original graphics — is created by and belongs to Dovetail & Dust and Type 5 Marketing LLC, and is protected by copyright and other laws. You may read, share, and link to our pages for personal, non-commercial use. You may not copy, republish, or redistribute substantial portions of our content without our written permission. Product names, brands, and logos referenced on the site belong to their respective owners and are used for identification only.
8. Links to third-party sites
The site links to third-party websites, including retailers and manufacturers. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, products, policies, or practices. A link is not an endorsement of everything on the destination site, and your use of any third-party site is governed by that site's own terms and privacy policy.
9. Changes to these terms
We may revise these terms at any time by updating this page. Changes take effect when posted, and the "last updated" date above will reflect the most recent revision. It is your responsibility to review the terms periodically.
