The small print.

Giftwise is a free tool. These terms set out the basis on which you may use it. They are deliberately short. Please read them.
What Giftwise is
Giftwise is a personal gift planner that runs in your browser. You can use it without an account, or create a free account so your data syncs across your devices and you can share wishlists. It is provided free of charge by Coldharbour Tech Limited, a company registered in England and Wales (Company Number 17185625), on an "as-is" basis.
What Giftwise is not
- It is not a shop. Giftwise does not sell any products. When you click a gift suggestion, you are taken to a third-party retailer's website where any purchase happens directly between you and them.
- It is not a guarantee. Product information shown in Giftwise (prices, availability, descriptions) may be out of date. Always confirm details on the retailer's own site before buying.
- It is not a backup service. Without an account your data lives only on your device; with an account we store it for you, but you remain responsible for keeping your own backups (Settings → Your data → Export). We do not guarantee against data loss.
Who can use Giftwise
You must be at least 18 years old to create a Giftwise account. Giftwise is intended for adults planning gifts and is not directed at children. Sign-in uses a link sent to your email, so you're responsible for keeping access to that email secure. We may suspend or remove accounts that breach these terms or are used abusively.
Permitted use
You may use Giftwise for personal, non-commercial purposes — to plan and track your own gift-giving. You may share wishlist links with friends and family. You may export your data and keep your own backups.
You may not use Giftwise to:
- Send unsolicited messages to anyone
- Resell, republish, or commercially exploit the catalogue or other content
- Reverse engineer or attempt to interfere with the service
- Misrepresent yourself in shared wishlists in a way that could deceive others
Affiliate links
Giftwise contains affiliate links to UK retailers. When you click through and buy something, we may receive a commission at no extra cost to you. This is how the project funds itself. We never receive payment to feature specific retailers or products. Full detail in the affiliate disclosure.
Third-party services
Some Giftwise features connect to third-party services — our hosting and database provider (Supabase), AI photo recognition (Anthropic), barcode lookups (Open Food Facts and others), affiliate networks (Impact, Awin, Amazon), and CDNs for libraries and fonts. When you use those features, the third party's terms and privacy policy apply to that interaction, as described in our Privacy Policy. We are not responsible for the conduct of those services.
No warranty
Giftwise is provided as-is, without warranty of any kind, express or implied. We make no guarantee that it will be available, error-free, or fit for any particular purpose. Use it at your own risk.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by UK law, Coldharbour Tech Limited and its representatives are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential losses arising from your use of the service, including (but not limited to) lost data, missed occasions, or unsatisfactory gift purchases. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded under UK law (such as for fraud or death/personal injury due to negligence).
Changes
We may update these terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top will reflect any changes. Continued use of Giftwise after a change means you accept the updated terms.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
