Terms of Service

Use of The Gift Pilot

By using The Gift Pilot you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the site. We may update these terms from time to time — the "Last updated" date reflects the current version.

Recommendations are informational only

Gift suggestions on The Gift Pilot are informational and editorial in nature. They are not professional advice and don't guarantee that the recipient will love the gift, that it will be appropriate for a particular person, or that it will be suitable for a specific occasion.

No guarantees about products or retailers

We don't guarantee product availability, pricing, specifications, suitability, delivery times, stock, returns, or any aspect of a retailer's performance. Product details can change at any time. Always confirm price, shipping, and return policy on the retailer's own site before purchasing.

We don't sell anything

The Gift Pilot does not sell products, hold inventory, process payments, ship items, or handle returns, refunds, or warranty claims. All purchases happen on third-party retailer websites under their own terms.

Retailer links, affiliate links, and sponsored placements

Outbound links may be affiliate links — we may earn a small commission if you buy through them, at no extra cost to you. Some items are sponsored and are clearly labelled. Sponsorship doesn't change whether a gift fits your answers. See our Disclosure for full detail.

Gift Finder and Gift Check outputs

Outputs from the Gift Finder and Gift Check are generated based on the information you give us. They are suggestions, not verdicts. Use your own judgement before purchasing.

User-uploaded images and submitted information

You're responsible for anything you upload or submit. Don't upload images you don't have the right to share, and don't submit information about someone else without their permission. We use uploads and submissions only to provide the requested response or to reply to you.

Acceptable use

Don't use The Gift Pilot to break the law, harass anyone, scrape the site at scale, attempt to interfere with how it runs, misuse our forms, or attempt unauthorised access. We may restrict access if the service is misused.

Intellectual property

The Gift Pilot name, branding, written content, structure, and decision logic are owned by The Gift Pilot. Product images, names, and trademarks shown alongside retailer links belong to their respective owners. You may link to and share our pages, but don't copy substantial content without permission.

Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, The Gift Pilot is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of the site, from purchases you make at third-party retailers, or from any third-party content. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under the Australian Consumer Law that can't lawfully be excluded.

Changes to the service

We may add, change, or remove features, guides, tools, or pages at any time. We may also suspend or stop the service. We'll try not to surprise regular users when we do.
