5. Tool & Template Usage Policy
Because ChronoHub invests heavily in developing high-quality digital assets for horologists, strict licensing rules apply to our interactive software and downloadable files.
- 01. Personal License: Templates and tool outputs are granted under a single-user, non-exclusive license strictly for personal use.
- 02. No Resale: You may not sell, sub-license, or package our templates into products you distribute to third parties (e.g., selling our collection tracker on Etsy is prohibited).
- 03. Data Integrity: Output generated by our tools (e.g., PDF service histories) must not be altered to mislead buyers in secondary market transactions.
6. Affiliate & Review Transparency
Editorial integrity is our highest priority. To maintain our platform, we occasionally utilize affiliate links and partner with trusted brands in the horology space.
When you click on links to various merchants on this site and make a purchase, this can result in this site earning a commission. Affiliate programs and affiliations include, but are not limited to, the eBay Partner Network, Chrono24, and specific strap/accessory manufacturers.
Review Independence: Regardless of affiliate relationships, all hands-on reviews represent the unfiltered opinion of our writers. If a watch was provided temporarily by a brand for review purposes, this is explicitly disclosed at the top of the article. We do not accept payment in exchange for positive coverage.
7. Intellectual Property
The Service and its original content, features, and functionality are and will remain the exclusive property of ChronoHub and its licensors. The Service is protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws.
Our trademarks, trade dress, and unique visual designs (including our specific combination of typography, color palettes, and UI elements) may not be used in connection with any product or service without the prior written consent of ChronoHub.
User-submitted content (such as comments on reviews) remains your property, but by posting it, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, and publish that content globally.
8. Limitation of Liability & Governing Law
In no event shall ChronoHub, nor its directors, employees, partners, agents, suppliers, or affiliates, be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, including without limitation, loss of profits, data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses, resulting from:
