Last updated: September 22, 2026
Applicable Law: Belgian Law
Exclusive Jurisdiction: Courts of West Flanders (Belgium)
Regulatory Framework: European Digital Services Act (DSA - Regulation EU 2022/2065)

1. Legal Status: We Advertise, the User Decides

1.1 Pure Advertising and Editorial Framework: Phone2charger.com (hereinafter: "the Website") functions exclusively as an independent, automated advertising and editorial review platform. The Website is not a store, vendor, dealer, merchant, or technical advisory body.

1.2 Autonomous Purchasing Decision: The content, charts, ratings, and comparisons published on this platform are provided in good faith to sketch a general, subjective editorial representation of third-party charging hardware. The ultimate decision to click an affiliate link and purchase any product is a 100% autonomous, independent, and voluntary act executed solely by the User. The Website does not mandate, compel, or guarantee any purchase. If the User completes an erroneous purchase or selects an incompatible product, that mispurchase remains entirely the User's own responsibility. The Website assumes zero liability or accountability for consumer buying choices.

1.3 Absolute Binding Nature Independent of Cookie Consent: The User is formally notified that this Disclaimer, along with the Terms of Service, constitutes a legally binding contract executed automatically upon the milestone event of entering, accessing, or viewing the Website. This legal boundary framework applies instantly and unconditionally from the first micro-second of network access. It operates completely independent of, and is structurally separate from, the User’s choices regarding cookie consent. Whether the User accepts, declines, or ignores the interactive cookie consent banner, they remain irreversibly bound by the liability exclusions, risk allocations, and strict verification duties dictated herein. The User cannot plead ignorance or lack of consent based on data-tracking rejection.

2. Explicit Contractual Duty of Verification

2.1 Strict Verification Mandate: By consulting, reading, or utilizing the data on this Website, the User is placed under a strict, mandatory contractual duty of verification (actieve onderzoeksplicht). The User is formally prohibited from relying blindly on any automated data, charts, compatibility matrices, or textual recommendations published on Phone2charger.com.

2.2 Compulsory Cross-Referencing: Before executing any purchase on an external platform or connecting any hardware to a mobile device, the User is contractually and legally obligated to independently verify and cross-reference all technical parameters, specifications, compatibility matrices, and hardware requirements directly with the official datasheets of the original product manufacturer and the definitive product listing of the final selling retailer.

2.3 Breach of Duty: Failure by the User to independently execute this verification process constitutes a direct material breach of these terms. Any subsequent damage, malfunction, or financial loss resulting from this failure shall be borne exclusively and entirely by the User.

3. Total Exclusion of Algorithmic Discrepancies & AI Errors

3.1 Acceptance of Algorithmic Risk: The User is formally notified that this Website utilizes fully automated data aggregation systems, algorithmic scrapers, and artificial intelligence (AI) models to generate content and synthesize product reviews at scale. By entering and using this platform, the User explicitly acknowledges, understands, and accepts that inherent algorithmic error margins, machine hallucinations, outdated pricing data, and technical discrepancies may occur completely without the operator's knowledge or human intervention.

3.2 Statutory Protection under the Digital Services Act (DSA): Pursuant to the liability exemptions for automated information society platforms under the European Digital Services Act (DSA - Regulation EU 2022/2065), the Operator acts in continuous good faith as a passive provider of automated informational content. Because the processing occurs algorithmically, the Operator lacks actual subjective knowledge of potential minor factual errors.

3.3 No Warranties ("As Is") and Electronic Volatility: All content is provided strictly on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis without warranties. Specifications and protocols are subject to change via software updates, and the Website disclaims liability for any hardware damage, safety incidents, or losses resulting from unverified information.

4. "AS IS" & "WITH ALL FAULTS" Absolute Warranty Disclaimer

4.1 Total Exclusion of Warranties: TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE WEBSITE, ITS CONTENT, SPECIFICATIONS, CHARTS, AND REGISTERED DATA ARE PROVIDED STRICTLY ON AN "AS IS", "WHERE IS", AND "WITH ALL FAULTS" BASIS. The Operator explicitly disclaims and excludes any and all warranties, representations, or guarantees of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise—including but not limited to warranties of accuracy, completeness, marketability, cross-device safety, or fitness for a particular purpose.

4.2 Dynamic Specification Volatility: The User explicitly acknowledges that hardware specifications, wattage thresholds, and device charging protocols are highly volatile and subject to immediate alteration by manufacturers via over-the-air (OTA) software updates or production changes. The Operator assumes zero liability if information that was accurate at the time of automated synthesis becomes outdated, incorrect, or harmful due to subsequent manufacturer updates.

5. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, any liability of the Operator for technical discrepancies, content omissions, or direct or indirect damages shall be strictly limited to the maximum coverage provided by the Operator's general business liability insurance, or in the absence of such coverage, to a reasonable maximum amount appropriate for a free-to-access informational platform.

6. Out-of-Court Dispute Resolution & ODR Platform

6.1 Amicable Settlement:** In the event of any dispute, claim, or disagreement arising out of or relating to the use of the Website, the User and the Operator contractually agree to make every reasonable effort to resolve the dispute amicably through direct, informal consultation before initiating any formal legal or administrative proceedings.

6.2 Online Dispute Resolution (ODR):** Pursuant to Article 14 of Regulation (EU) No 524/2013, the European Commission provides an official online platform for alternative dispute resolution. This platform serves as an out-of-court mechanism to resolve disputes between consumers and online platforms without the intervention of a court.

6.3 If an amicable settlement or alternative dispute resolution via the ODR platform cannot be achieved within sixty (60) calendar days from the initial written notification of the dispute, any subsequent legal actions shall be brought exclusively before the designated competent courts of West Flanders, Belgium, as established in these terms.

7. Waiver of Inadvertent Negligence & Fundamental Reliance Estoppel

7.1 Classification of Inadvertent Oversight: The User explicitly agrees that any typographical errors, outdated specification charts, technical omissions, or algorithmic anomalies generated by automated scripts on this Website shall be legally classified as inadvertent oversight and can never be construed as gross negligence, willful misconduct, or deceptive trade practices by the Operator.

7.2 Fundamental Reliance Estoppel: By continuing to consult the content, the User enters into a fundamental reliance estoppel, meaning they are legally barred from claiming they relied strictly on the Website's data to clear themselves of their own independent verification duties.

7.3 Voluntary Waiver of Legal Recourse: The User knowingly and voluntarily waives any right to institute legal proceedings, administrative complaints, or financial claims against the Operator based on human or machine-generated data discrepancies.

8. Absolute Third-Party Exoneration

8.1 Transaction Separation: All commercial transactions occur exclusively on external third-party domains (such as Amazon). The Website is not a party to, mediator of, or supervisor over your transaction.

8.2 Final Legal Recourse: ALL COMPLAINTS, RETOURS, PHYSICAL DEFECTS, WARRANTY CLAIMS, INCORRECT PRICE DELIVERIES, OR HARDWARE LIABILITIES MUST BE DIRECTED SOLELY AND EXCLUSIVELY TO THE SELLING RETAILER (E.G., AMAZON) OR THE OFFICIAL MANUFACTURER OF THE PRODUCT. The Website resolutely rejects any form of joint, several, or secondary liability for the performance, safety, or merchantability of products advertised via external affiliate networks.

9. Active Contractual Indemnification & Fee-Shifting Mandate

9.1 General Indemnification: The User agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold completely harmless the Operator, its owner(s), parental entities, or future corporate structures from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable attorney fees, expert witness fees, and total litigation costs) arising out of or in any way connected to the User's breach of these terms, the violation of third-party rights, or the systematic failure to fulfill their independent product verification duties.

9.2 Fee-Shifting Clause for Dismissed Claims: If any User or associated third party institutes a legal claim, administrative complaint, or arbitration against the Operator based on content consultation or platform use, and such claim is dismissed by the competent court under the enforcement provisions of these terms, the initiating party shall be contractually bound to fully reimburse the Operator for all legal defense expenditures incurred, including reasonable legal fees, court costs, administrative overhead, and operational losses resulting directly from the dispute.

10. Statutory Limitation

10.1 Any statutory claims or legal proceedings arising out of or related to the use of this Website or the actions of the Operator must be instituted within the applicable statutory limitation periods provided under Belgian law, without prejudice to mandatory international consumer regulations.
