1. About these terms
These Terms of Use apply when you visit or use the Deal Beater website, Deal Checker and related services.
Deal Beater is operated by Frame Tech UK Ltd.
By using Deal Beater, you agree to follow these terms. Please do not use the service if you do not agree with them.
2. What Deal Beater provides
Deal Beater is a product-checking and price-comparison service designed to help UK consumers make more informed buying decisions.
The service may allow you to:
- Enter a product name, description or model number.
- Paste a retailer or product link.
- Upload a quote, image or document for analysis.
- Compare offers from retailers and online marketplaces.
- Review product-matching information and buying guidance.
- Follow links to third-party retailer websites.
Deal Beater is continually being developed. Features may be added, changed, tested or removed over time.
3. Deal Beater is not the retailer
Deal Beater does not normally sell, supply, deliver or fulfil the products displayed through the service.
When you choose to purchase a product, the transaction is usually made directly with the relevant retailer, marketplace seller or service provider. Their terms, returns policy, warranty terms, delivery arrangements and privacy policy will apply to that transaction.
Questions about payment, delivery, cancellations, returns, refunds, warranties or faulty products should normally be directed to the retailer responsible for the sale.
4. Prices, availability and product information
We work to provide useful and accurate comparisons, but product information can change quickly.
Prices, stock levels, delivery charges, discount codes, specifications, seller details, ratings and promotional offers may change after Deal Beater has collected or displayed them.
Before making a purchase, you should verify the final price, model, specification, condition, seller, delivery cost and availability on the retailer's website.
5. Comparisons, scores and recommendations
Deal Beater may use automated systems, product data and matching rules to identify products, reject unsuitable listings and rank retailer offers.
Results may consider factors such as:
- Brand and model match.
- Revision, variant and specification.
- Product condition.
- Whether a listing appears to be an accessory, upgrade or bundle.
- Price, delivery information and availability.
- Retailer identity, reputation or affiliate priority.
Results and recommendations are provided for general shopping assistance. They are not a guarantee that a particular product is suitable for your personal circumstances.
You remain responsible for reviewing the product and deciding whether to purchase it.
6. Affiliate links and commissions
Some links on Deal Beater are affiliate links. This means we may receive a commission if you follow a link and complete a qualifying purchase.
Using an affiliate link will not normally increase the price you pay.
Commercial relationships may influence which retailers are available to display, but we aim not to recommend an unsuitable product simply because it may generate a higher commission.
More information is available in our Affiliate Disclosure.
7. Information, links and files you submit
You are responsible for the information, links, images, documents and other material you submit to Deal Beater.
You must not submit content that:
- You do not own or have permission to use.
- Contains confidential information that you are not authorised to disclose.
- Contains unnecessary payment-card, banking, medical or highly sensitive personal information.
- Is unlawful, fraudulent, harmful, defamatory, threatening or abusive.
- Contains malware, malicious code or material intended to interfere with the service.
- Infringes another person’s copyright, trade mark, privacy or other rights.
You retain ownership of material you submit. You give us permission to process it only as reasonably necessary to provide, secure, troubleshoot and improve the requested service, subject to our Privacy Policy.
8. Acceptable use

- Use Deal Beater for unlawful, fraudulent or misleading activity.
- Attempt to gain unauthorised access to the service, its systems or user data.

9. Intellectual property
Unless stated otherwise, Deal Beater and Frame Tech UK Ltd own or license the website design, branding, software, written content, databases, matching systems and other original material made available through the service.
You may use Deal Beater for your own personal, non-commercial shopping purposes.
You may not reproduce, sell, license, distribute or exploit our original content or technology without prior written permission, except where permitted by law.
Retailer names, product names, logos and trade marks belong to their respective owners. Their appearance on Deal Beater does not imply ownership or endorsement unless expressly stated.
10. Retailers and third-party websites
Deal Beater contains links to websites and services operated by third parties.
We do not control those websites and are not responsible for their content, security, availability, prices, products, policies or business practices.
A link does not automatically mean that Deal Beater endorses every product, statement or service available on the destination website.
11. Availability and changes to the service
We aim to keep Deal Beater available and functioning properly, but we do not promise that the service will always be uninterrupted or error-free.
We may temporarily restrict access for maintenance, security, updates, capacity limits, provider outages or other operational reasons.
We may change, replace, suspend or discontinue features where reasonably necessary.
12. Our responsibility to you
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits responsibility where doing so would be unlawful. This includes responsibility for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.
Subject to that, Deal Beater is responsible for losses that are a foreseeable result of our failure to use reasonable care and skill or our breach of these terms.
We are not responsible for losses caused by:
- A retailer, marketplace seller, manufacturer, delivery company or other third party.
- A change in price, availability, specification or promotion after information was displayed.
- Incorrect, incomplete or misleading information supplied by a retailer, data provider or user.
- Your failure to verify the final product and transaction details before purchasing.
- Events outside our reasonable control.
- Use of Deal Beater for business or commercial purposes where the service was provided for personal consumer use.
Deal Beater does not provide financial, legal, medical, investment or other regulated professional advice.
13. Your statutory consumer rights
Nothing in these terms affects any rights you have under UK consumer law.
Consumers have legal protections when purchasing goods, services and digital content. Those rights cannot be removed by wording in these terms.
Your purchase contract with a retailer may give you additional rights concerning faulty goods, cancellations, refunds, delivery or digital content.
14. Restricting or ending access
We may restrict, suspend or end access to Deal Beater where we reasonably believe a user has:
- Seriously or repeatedly breached these terms.
- Used the service unlawfully or fraudulently.
- Created a security risk or disrupted the service.
- Attempted to misuse our technology, data or infrastructure.
Where appropriate and reasonably possible, we may provide notice or an opportunity to correct the issue.
15. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms when Deal Beater changes, when our legal obligations change or when clarification is needed.
The latest version will be published on this page with a new last-updated date.
Material changes will apply from the date stated in the updated terms and will not remove rights that already arose under applicable law.
16. If part of these terms is invalid
If a court or relevant authority decides that part of these terms is unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining terms will continue to apply.
17. Governing law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales.
If you live elsewhere in the United Kingdom, you may also have the right to bring proceedings in the courts of the country in which you live.
We encourage you to contact us first so that we can try to resolve any concern informally.
