3. Intellectual Property

All original content on SimraceBeast — including written reviews, scoring systems, methodology documentation, original photography, and site design — is the intellectual property of the Site Owner unless otherwise stated.

4. Accuracy of Information

SimraceBeast makes reasonable efforts to ensure that product specifications, prices, availability, and scoring reflect accurate and current information at the time of publication. However:

• Prices change. All prices referenced on this site are indicative and may be out of date. Always verify current pricing with the retailer before purchase.
• Specs may be updated. Manufacturers update their products through firmware and hardware revisions. Published specs reflect the product as tested at the time noted in the "Last Tested" date on each review.
• Opinions are subjective. Scoring and recommendations represent the personal assessment of the Site Owner based on hands-on testing. They are not guarantees of performance for any individual user.

SimraceBeast is not liable for purchasing decisions made based on content published on this site.

SimraceBeast uses affiliate links. Clicking a product link may result in a commission being paid to the site if a purchase is completed. This is disclosed on pages where affiliate links appear. See the Advertising Disclosure for the full explanation of commercial relationships and editorial independence.

6. Sponsored Content

Sponsored articles are clearly labeled "Sponsored" at the top of the page. They represent commissioned, paid editorial work. Sponsored content is published honestly but readers should apply appropriate judgment when reading commissioned material. Sponsored content does not influence independent reviews or rankings published elsewhere on the site.

7. Guest Posts

Guest contributors submit content voluntarily or through agreed arrangements. Guest posts are labeled with the contributor's name and bio. The Site Owner reserves the right to edit guest content for clarity, accuracy, and style before publication. Guest contributors are responsible for ensuring their submissions do not infringe third-party intellectual property, contain false claims, or violate applicable law.

If a commenting or submission feature is made available on the site, users are responsible for their own submissions. You may not submit content that is defamatory, harassing, obscene, unlawful, or infringes third-party rights. The Site Owner reserves the right to remove any user-submitted content at any time without notice.
