Terms of service

Effective July 20, 2026.

Circuit & Chime (the “site”) is published by Type 5 Marketing LLC. By using the site you agree to these terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the site.

The nature of our content

Everything on this site is general information and editorial opinion to help you shop for smart-home and home-security products. It is not professional security advice, and it is not legal, financial or engineering advice. We are enthusiasts and researchers, not licensed installers or security professionals. For a home with specific risks, and for life-safety devices such as smoke and carbon-monoxide alarms, follow the manufacturer’s instructions and consult a qualified professional. You are responsible for your own buying decisions.

Product information, specs and prices

We work hard to be accurate, reading specifications from manufacturer and retailer sources and pulling prices live. Even so, specifications, features, availability and prices change constantly and can contain errors. The prices shown on this site are indicative and time-stamped; the authoritative price and terms are always the ones on the retailer’s own checkout page at the moment you buy. Always confirm current details with the retailer before purchasing. We make no warranty that any information on the site is complete, current or error-free.

Affiliate links

Many links on the site are affiliate links, and we may earn a commission on qualifying purchases at no extra cost to you. This is explained in full on our affiliate disclosure page. It does not change the price you pay or the independence of our recommendations.

External links

The site links to third-party websites, including retailers and cited sources. We don’t control those sites and aren’t responsible for their content, products, or privacy practices. Following an external link is at your own discretion, and their terms and policies apply once you leave us.

Intellectual property

The text, layout and original graphics on this site are owned by Type 5 Marketing LLCand are protected by copyright. You’re welcome to quote or reference our content with clear attribution and a link, but please don’t republish substantial portions without permission. Product names, brands and images belong to their respective owners; product images are provided via the retailers’ own programs.

Acceptable use

Please don’t use the site to break the law, to disrupt or attack it, to scrape it at a scale that degrades service for others, or to submit spam or malicious content through the contact form. We may restrict access to anyone who does.

The site is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Type 5 Marketing LLCis not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of the site or your reliance on any information on it, including any purchasing decision. Your sole remedy if you’re dissatisfied with the site is to stop using it.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time; the effective date at the top shows when they last changed. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
