Terms of Use

1. What COMPARIO is

COMPARIO is a personal, non-profit project that compares prices across countries and markets, with economic context. It has no advertising, sells nothing and charges for nothing. It combines data from official public sources and community contributions. It does not sell the products shown, does not represent merchants and does not charge any merchant to appear in or rank within a comparison.

By using the site you accept these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the service.

2. Nature of the information

Prices, wages and exchange rates come from internally identified sources and are shown with their date. They may be out of date, may be national or regional averages and may not match a particular shop. Always check the price with the merchant before buying.

Currency conversions use official exchange rates published by central banks or public bodies, with their date. Where no reliable official rate exists, no conversion is shown.

“Hours worked” is an indicator: price divided by the country’s reference gross hourly wage, using the same method everywhere. It does not describe any individual’s situation.

A price difference is not an allegation of abuse, fraud or unlawful conduct by any merchant or company. It reflects data available at a given time and place.

Import estimates are indicative and are not a customs assessment or tax, legal, financial or investment advice.

3. Minimum age and accounts

You can browse without registering. To create an account, submit contributions or take part in the community you must be at least 18.

You are responsible for your account and for keeping your credentials safe. Tell us if you notice unauthorised use.

4. Contributions and community

When you submit prices, photos, receipts, comments or context, you confirm that you may share them and that they are accurate to the best of your knowledge. You keep your rights and grant us a free, worldwide, non-exclusive licence to host, process, display, moderate and use them in comparisons and aggregated data for as long as needed for the service.

• Do not submit false, manipulated or misleading data.
• Do not include unnecessary personal data (names, ID documents, card numbers, private addresses) in receipts or photos.
• Do not post unlawful, defamatory, harassing or discriminatory content, spam or hidden advertising.
• Do not impersonate others or use multiple accounts to influence results.

5. Moderation and notices of illegal content

Contributions are reviewed before publication. We use automated quality checks and human review. No automated decision publishes a contribution unchecked.

We may reject, hide or remove content, or suspend accounts, if it breaches these terms or the law, or puts people at risk. When we act on your content, we will tell you why through your account’s contact details unless the law prevents it.

Anyone can notify us of content they consider illegal, or of incorrect data, through the “Report” page or by writing to privacidad@compario.lat. Say where the content is and why you consider it illegal or wrong. You can ask us to review a decision affecting you the same way.

That address is also the point of contact for authorities, in Spanish or English.

6. Acceptable use

You may not access the service in an automated way to extract data in bulk, overload it, bypass technical limits or use it for unlawful purposes. If data access for companies or institutions is offered in the future, it will have its own terms.

7. Intellectual property

The COMPARIO brand, site design and our own texts and analysis are protected. Product names and brands belong to their owners and are used only to identify the products compared. Public-source data is used under its reuse licences.

8. Liability

We work to keep information correct but do not guarantee it is error-free, complete or always up to date. To the extent permitted by law, COMPARIO is not liable for purchase, investment or import decisions based on it.

Nothing in these terms limits mandatory consumer rights or liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

9. Changes and governing law

We may update these terms. The date at the top shows the current version; material changes will be announced on the site.

Spanish law applies, without prejudice to mandatory consumer protection rules of your country of residence.
