Zahl

The legal bit — plainly written, still worth reading.

These terms cover how Zahl's comparison tool and content are meant to be used, and what we do and don't take responsibility for.

This page is a draft pending solicitor review. It's built from standard, widely-used comparison-site practice, but hasn't yet had a professional legal check. Treat it as a good-faith summary of our intentions rather than a finalised legal document until this notice is removed.

1. Who we are

Zahl ("we," "us") provides an independent comparison tool and educational content about UK card machine and payment gateway providers, at zahl.co.uk. We are not a bank, a payment provider, a broker, or a financial adviser.

2. This is information, not advice

Nothing on this site constitutes financial, legal, or professional advice. The comparison tool, blog, and any figures shown are provided for general information only, to help you research your options. You should independently verify any rate, fee, or feature with the relevant provider before making a business decision, and seek professional advice if you need it.

3. Accuracy of information

We research and update the figures shown on this site regularly, and we date every provider's data so you can see when it was last checked. However:

Provider pricing, terms, and features change, sometimes without notice, and may not be reflected here immediately.
Where a figure isn't publicly published by a provider, we say so ("Not published") rather than estimate it.
Calculated cost estimates are illustrative, based on the turnover and transaction details you enter — your actual costs may differ.

We do not guarantee that any information on this site is complete, current, or error-free, and we accept no responsibility for decisions made on the basis of it. Always confirm final pricing and terms directly with the provider before signing up or switching.

4. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law:

We exclude all warranties, conditions, and representations relating to this site and its content, whether express or implied.
We are not liable for any loss or damage — direct, indirect, or consequential — arising from your use of, or reliance on, this site, including but not limited to financial loss from switching providers based on information shown here.
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited under UK law.

5. Affiliate links and how we make money

Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you sign up with a provider through one of these links, we may earn a commission — at no extra cost to you, and without changing the rate or terms you're offered. This never influences the figures or rankings shown; the same information is displayed whether or not a link earns us anything. Where a link is an affiliate link, it's labelled as such.

6. External links

This site links to third-party providers' websites (affiliate and non-affiliate alike). We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or practices of external sites, including their own pricing pages, terms, or privacy practices.

7. Intellectual property

The content, design, and branding of this site belong to Zahl unless otherwise stated. Provider names mentioned are the trademarks of their respective owners, used here for identification and comparison purposes only — Zahl is not affiliated with or endorsed by the providers listed unless explicitly stated.

8. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.

9. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales.
