Terms
What the figures on this site are, what they are not, and how a commercial link would be handled if one ever existed.
We currently publish no retail prices, merchant offers, stock states, or affiliate links. No shop has approved a price feed for this site, the site contains zero current merchant-price observations, and we currently have no affiliate relationship or commission arrangement.
What the site publishes today is manufacturer specification information, fit and power calculations, and monthly US Bureau of Labor Statistics category indexes. Those figures are informational and each one carries its source and reading date. A monthly BLS index can legitimately have an older reference date than the page displaying it. We do not sell the components listed here, guarantee that a source value or product match is accurate, or take responsibility for a purchase decision. Check the linked manufacturer evidence and whether a component fits your needs before buying elsewhere.
Figures are published under their sources' terms. Those terms determine whether we may display, cache, retain, compare, or calculate from a source. The source registry records those limits and the sources we exclude. Material from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics is US federal public-domain material. BLS.gov cannot vouch for the data or analyses derived from these data after the data have been retrieved from BLS.gov. A source link does not transfer ownership of third-party material to us.
If a shop later grants the necessary feed and display rights, a future offer may change or be removed after retrieval. Any such offer would identify its merchant, condition, source and retrieval time, and the merchant would decide its final price, stock, shipping, tax, warranty and terms of sale. We would publish the applicable removal, retention and ordering rules before activating that feed. We would not imply that an offer remained available after its evidence became stale.
You pay us nothing to use this site. If an affiliate relationship is activated later, each qualifying page would disclose it beside the relevant merchant link. Affiliate eligibility would not influence placement or ordering, and the applicable non-affiliate ordering rule would be published before any such links appeared.
The methodology explains the current specification matching, calculations, incomplete-coverage handling and anomaly tests. If a figure conflicts with its source or the stated method, please report it to data@componentprices.com.
