Legal · Terms of Use

Terms of use.

Last updated: May 19, 2026. By using Designer Dupe you agree to these terms. The summary: this site publishes editorial reviews; we are not the seller of any product reviewed; we make no warranties about products; you are responsible for your own purchase decisions.

Editorial content disclaimer

All content on Designer Dupe is editorial in nature, representing our independent assessment of designer-inspired alternatives in shoes, clothing and beauty categories. Reviews are based on retail-purchased testing as described in our methodology page. We make no warranties or representations regarding the accuracy, completeness, or fitness for any particular purpose of the information provided. Products, prices, availability and specifications change frequently — always verify current details on the retailer's site before purchasing.

Our reviews reflect our experience with specific test units at specific points in time. Manufacturer quality control, batch variation, and product revisions can result in real-world experiences that differ from our published reviews. We update reviews approximately monthly but cannot guarantee that any specific product still matches the description in our most recent review.

Not medical, legal or financial advice

Content on Designer Dupe is not medical advice, legal advice or financial advice. Beauty product reviews include ingredient discussions for informational purposes only — they do not replace consultation with a dermatologist or other qualified medical professional regarding skin reactions, allergies or specific medical concerns. Footwear reviews discuss comfort and ergonomic features for informational purposes only — they do not replace consultation with a podiatrist regarding foot conditions. Always seek qualified professional advice for medical questions.

Intellectual property notices

All product names, brand names, logos and trademarks mentioned on Designer Dupe are the property of their respective owners. We use these marks for editorial commentary and identification purposes only, which constitutes fair use under standard trademark law. Specifically:

Designer Dupe is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any of these brands. Editorial comparisons between alternative products and these original brands are made under fair use for purposes of consumer commentary and product review.

The Designer Dupe name, logo, editorial content, photography, and original analysis are the intellectual property of Designer Dupe. Brief quotations with attribution are permitted under standard fair use principles. Republication of entire articles, systematic copying of our review structure, or commercial use of our content without explicit written permission is prohibited.

Third-party links

Designer Dupe contains links to third-party websites including retailers, brand sites and reference sources. We are not responsible for the content, policies or practices of any third-party site. Links to external sites are provided as editorial references and affiliate connections; their inclusion does not constitute endorsement of the third party's full content or commercial practices.

When you click through to a third-party site, your interaction with that site is governed by the third party's own terms and privacy policy, not ours. Review the destination site's terms before making any purchase or providing any personal information.

Affiliate program disclosure

Designer Dupe participates in affiliate programs including the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, which is an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. When you click affiliate links on this site and complete qualifying purchases, Designer Dupe receives commission compensation at no additional cost to you. Detailed information about affiliate operations is available on our How It Works page.

The presence of affiliate links does not change the price you pay or the products we recommend. Our recommendation thresholds are set independently of commission rates as described in our editorial standards.

Limitations of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Designer Dupe and its contributors are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential or punitive damages arising from your use of this site or from products purchased through links on this site. This includes but is not limited to product defects, allergic reactions, fit issues, durability problems, or any other dissatisfaction with products reviewed.

Your purchase relationship is with the retailer (Amazon, brand-direct site, or other) from whom you purchase, not with Designer Dupe. Returns, refunds, warranty claims and customer service issues must be directed to the retailer. We have no ability to influence or expedite resolution of purchase issues with third-party retailers.

User-generated content

Designer Dupe does not currently host user-generated content such as comments, forum posts or user reviews. If we add such features in the future, this terms-of-use page will be updated to address the additional considerations that come with user-generated content. For now, all visible content on this site is editorial content produced by the Designer Dupe team.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements or affiliate program agreements. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be reflected in the disclosure banner at the top of every page so returning visitors are notified of significant updates. Continued use of the site after material changes constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which Designer Dupe is operated, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any disputes arising from your use of this site will be resolved in the courts of that jurisdiction. If any provision of these terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full effect.

Contact about terms

If you have questions about these terms of use, intellectual property concerns, or other legal matters related to this site, please reach out through our standard contact channels. We respond to legitimate legal inquiries promptly and will resolve good-faith concerns through direct communication wherever possible.
