Terms and Conditions

1. Agreement

Ember Terrace (“we”, “us”, “our”) operates this website. These Terms and Conditions form a binding agreement between you and us covering your access to and use of the site and everything published on it. They should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, Disclaimer, Affiliate Disclosure, Terms of Use and Cookie Policy.

2. Eligibility and age

This site is intended for people aged 18 and over. Much of what we cover — propane and natural gas appliances, open-flame fire tables, pressurised CO2 cylinders, and outdoor cooking at high temperature — involves equipment that is not appropriate for minors to purchase, install, or operate unsupervised.

By using the site you confirm that you are at least 18 years old, or that you are using it with the supervision of a parent or legal guardian who accepts these terms on your behalf.

3. The nature of our content

Everything we publish is research-based editorial opinion produced for general information. Our recommendations are formed from manufacturer specifications, published safety and certification documentation, and verified owner reviews.

Where a confidence score appears on a guide, it describes how complete and consistent the available research is. It is not a performance measurement, a safety certification, or a guarantee of outcome.

4. No professional advice

Nothing on this site is professional, safety, engineering, legal, financial, or medical advice. Gas connections, propane and natural gas conversions, CO2 cylinder handling, permanent fire feature installation, and electrical work should be carried out by a qualified professional in accordance with local codes and the manufacturer’s instructions.

Always follow the manual supplied with your equipment. Where our guidance and a manufacturer’s instructions differ, follow the manufacturer.

5. Intellectual property

All original content on this site — articles, comparisons, verdicts, scoring frameworks, layouts, graphics and the Ember Terrace name and logo — is owned by us or licensed to us and protected by copyright and trade mark law.

You may read, print, and share links to our pages for personal, non-commercial use. You may quote a short extract with clear attribution and a link back to the source page. Anything beyond that requires written permission. Detailed restrictions are set out in our Terms of Use.

Product names, brand names and trade marks referenced on this site belong to their respective owners. Their use here is descriptive and does not imply endorsement, affiliation, or sponsorship.

6. Comments and user submissions

Where commenting is enabled, you are responsible for what you post. By submitting a comment you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to display, store, edit for length or clarity, and remove it.

We remove comments that are unlawful, defamatory, abusive, discriminatory, misleading about product safety, purely promotional, or posted to place a link. We are under no obligation to publish or retain any submission.

7. Affiliate relationships

This site earns affiliate commission. Ember Terrace is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.

Commission never determines a ranking or a verdict. Full details appear in our Affiliate Disclosure.

8. Third-party links and sellers

We link to retailers, manufacturers and documentation held elsewhere. We do not control those sites, their pricing, their stock, their product listings, or their terms. Any purchase you make is a contract between you and that seller. We are not a party to it and cannot help with orders, returns, refunds, warranties, or replacement parts.

9. Accuracy and availability

Specifications, prices, availability and model ranges change frequently. We review our guides periodically and show a last-reviewed date, but we cannot guarantee that every detail is current at the moment you read it. Always confirm specifications and pricing with the seller or manufacturer before you buy.

The site is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We do not warrant uninterrupted or error-free access, and we may modify, suspend, or withdraw any part of the site at any time without notice.

10. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Ember Terrace and its contributors are not liable for any loss or damage — direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or otherwise — arising from your use of this site, your reliance on any content, any purchase you make through a link on this site, or any injury or property damage resulting from the use, installation, or maintenance of equipment discussed here.

You use the information on this site at your own risk and are responsible for your own safety decisions. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

11. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Ember Terrace and its contributors against any claim, loss, or expense arising from your breach of these terms or your misuse of the site.

12. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. You agree that the courts of the State of California have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from these terms or your use of the site.

13. Changes to these terms

We may revise these terms at any time. The version published on this page, with the date shown at the top, is the version that applies. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the revised terms.
