These Terms of Service govern your access to and use of this website and any related services provided through it by Compare Commercial.
By accessing this website, using any of its features, submitting an enquiry, joining our newsletter, clicking an affiliate link, or otherwise engaging with our services, you agree to be bound by these terms. If you do not agree, you should not use this website.
Compare Commercial is a UK business comparison, lead generation, affiliate marketing and content platform.
We may provide:
information, editorial content, guides and comparison content relating to business products and services;
tools, forms or features that allow users to request quotes, pricing, contact or comparisons from third-party suppliers or partners;
affiliate links, sponsored listings, promoted content and other commercial placements;
email newsletters, alerts and marketing communications where you have subscribed or where communications are otherwise permitted by law.
Unless we expressly state otherwise, Compare Commercial does not itself provide the third-party products or services featured, compared, promoted or linked to on this website.
This website is intended mainly for users seeking products or services for business, trade or professional purposes in the United Kingdom.
By using this website, you confirm that:
you are at least 18 years old;
you will use the website only for lawful purposes;
any information you provide is accurate, complete and not misleading;
where you submit information on behalf of a business, you are authorised to do so.
Compare Commercial is not a broker, lender, insurer, utilities supplier, telecoms provider, software vendor, facilities provider, legal adviser or financial adviser unless expressly stated otherwise on a specific page.
Our role is generally to:
publish commercial information and comparison content;
connect users with relevant third-party providers or partners;
generate and distribute leads;
promote third-party services through sponsored or affiliate arrangements.
We may choose which providers, partners, networks, advertisers or affiliate programmes to work with, and we may change them at any time.
We do not guarantee that:
you will receive a quote, callback, offer or response;
you will be contacted by any provider or partner;
any third-party product or service will be available to you;
any quote, saving, rate or result will be the cheapest, best or most suitable for your circumstances;
using this website will result in any business, financial or commercial benefit.
Any agreement you enter into with a third party is solely between you and that third party, unless we expressly state otherwise.
Content on this website is provided for general information only.
Nothing on this website constitutes legal, financial, tax, insurance, investment, regulatory, employment or other professional advice. You should carry out your own checks and seek independent professional advice where appropriate before making any business decision or entering into any contract.
This website may allow you to submit a request for quotes, information, comparisons, follow-up contact or related services.
When you submit an enquiry, you agree that we may:
review the information you provide;
store and process your submission;
match your enquiry with one or more relevant third-party providers, brokers, suppliers, networks or partners;
pass your information to selected third parties so they can contact you regarding your enquiry;
contact you ourselves in relation to your enquiry;
use your information to improve our services, matching systems, forms, campaigns and platform operations;
filter, reject or withhold enquiries that appear incomplete, inaccurate, duplicate, fraudulent, ineligible or otherwise unsuitable.
You understand that submitting an enquiry does not guarantee any response, quote, call, saving, offer or commercial outcome.
Part of our business model may include the generation, sale, referral or distribution of business leads to selected third-party providers and partners.
Where a user has submitted an enquiry for the purpose of obtaining quotes, supplier contact or service information, we may share relevant data with one or more selected third parties in connection with that enquiry.
Where permitted by law and clearly disclosed at the point of collection, we may also retain and reuse information for further lead processing, re-matching, campaign optimisation, internal analysis, and future contact by us or relevant partners.
The ICO says organisations collecting information for direct marketing and lead generation must clearly tell people what they want to do with the information and whether they intend to share it with other organisations for direct marketing purposes.
If you subscribe to our newsletter or otherwise agree to receive marketing from Compare Commercial, we may send you emails about:
products and services relevant to your business interests;
comparison content, offers, guides and updates;
sponsored content and relevant commercial opportunities;
partner promotions, where permitted and appropriately disclosed.
You can unsubscribe from our marketing emails at any time using the unsubscribe link in any marketing email or by contacting us directly.
Submitting an enquiry does not by itself create consent for unrelated email marketing where consent is required by law.
PECR generally requires consent to send marketing emails or texts to individuals, subject to limited exceptions such as the soft opt-in in certain circumstances. Corporate subscribers such as limited companies are treated differently, but objections should still be respected.
Where this forms part of the service requested by you, and where legally permitted, selected third-party providers or partners may contact you by phone, email or SMS in relation to your enquiry.
If you have separately agreed to receive marketing from selected partners, those partners may also contact you in accordance with the consent or permissions you gave at the point of collection.
Once your information is shared with a third party acting on its own behalf, that party is responsible for its own handling of your information, communications and compliance obligations under its own privacy notice and terms.
We are not responsible for the conduct, statements, services, availability or compliance of third-party providers or partners.
Some links, listings, pages, recommendations, tables, buttons or content blocks on this website may be commercial in nature and may generate a commission, referral fee, lead fee or other payment to Compare Commercial if you click, enquire, sign up or make a purchase.
This may include:
affiliate links;
sponsored placements;
featured suppliers or promoted listings;
paid editorial or co-branded pages;
lead generation arrangements;
commercial partnerships.
Such relationships may affect how some products, services or businesses appear on the website.
Advertising and paid promotions should be identifiable as such. UK guidance states that hidden advertising is illegal and commercial relationships should be made clear to users.
Any rankings, provider lists, comparison tables, pricing examples, rates, savings references, “top picks”, reviews or editorial summaries are for general information only unless we expressly state otherwise.
Comparisons may be based on a range of factors, including but not limited to commercial relationships, available data, category relevance, editorial judgement, user experience considerations, and provider information made available to us.
We do not guarantee that all providers in a market are listed, that rankings are exhaustive, or that a listed provider is the best option for your needs.
Prices, rates, features, offers, availability and eligibility may change at any time without notice.
We aim to keep website content accurate and reasonably up to date, but we do not guarantee that the website will always be complete, accurate, current or error-free.
You should independently verify important information, especially where it relates to price, savings, eligibility, contracts, regulation, legal obligations, service levels or commercial decisions.
If this website allows account creation, saved submissions or repeat form access in future, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login details and for all activity carried out through your account.
You must not create an account or submit a form using false details, another person’s identity, or inaccurate business information.
We may suspend or remove access if we reasonably believe any account or submission is fraudulent, misleading, abusive, unlawful or in breach of these terms.
You agree not to:
use this website for any unlawful purpose;
submit false, misleading, incomplete or fraudulent information;
impersonate any person, business or representative;
copy, scrape, harvest or extract data from the website without written permission;
interfere with the security, performance or proper functioning of the website;
upload malicious code, scripts, bots, viruses or harmful content;
attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the website, server or connected systems;
use the website in any way that could harm Compare Commercial, its users, providers or partners.
We may restrict, suspend or block access to the website or any submission where we reasonably consider there to have been misuse.
