Disclaimer

Last updated: 30 July 2026

The information published on VPNSites.com ("VPNSites", "we", "us", "our") is provided for general information and educational purposes only. By accessing or using this website you accept this disclaimer in full. If you do not agree with any part of it, please do not use the site.

General Information Only — Not Professional Advice

VPNSites is an independent VPN review and comparison website. Nothing on this site constitutes legal, financial, technical or other professional advice, and it must not be relied upon as a substitute for advice from a suitably qualified professional. Our reviews, guides, comparisons, deals and rankings reflect our own hands-on testing and editorial opinion at the time of publication. Your circumstances — your device, operating system, home network, ISP, physical location and the specific plan you buy — will differ from ours, so the results you experience may differ from the results we publish.

Affiliate Disclosure — How We Make Money

VPNSites is free to read and is funded by affiliate commissions. Many of the links to VPN providers on this site — including text links, buttons, banners, comparison tables, coupon codes and "Get [Provider]" calls to action — are affiliate or referral links. If you click one of these links and purchase a subscription, the provider may pay us a commission or referral fee.

This costs you nothing extra. In most cases you pay less, because the offers we list are verified or negotiated discounts. We may hold affiliate arrangements with some, but not all, of the services we review, and the commission we earn varies between providers and between plans. Those commissions fund our subscriptions, testing, hosting and editorial work.

Commissions do not buy a position in our rankings, a higher score, or a more favourable verdict. We recommend services that pay us nothing whenever they are the better choice, and we downgrade or remove providers that stop performing, even when doing so costs us revenue. This disclosure is made in line with the US FTC Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising and the UK CAP Code requirements on identifying commercial content.

Reviews, Scores and Rankings Are Editorial Opinion

All ratings, numerical scores, "best of" lists, badges, awards and rankings on this site are subjective editorial judgements based on our published testing criteria: security and privacy, speed and performance, streaming and torrenting support, ease of use and support, and value for money. A score reflects how a service performed against those criteria on the dates we tested it, not an objective or universal measure of quality.

Rankings are recalculated whenever we retest and therefore change over time. The order in which providers appear may also vary between pages, devices and the country you are browsing from. No score, ranking or recommendation on this site is a guarantee of a provider's quality, suitability for your needs, continued availability, or future conduct.

Speed Tests and Performance Results

Speed, latency, packet-loss, streaming-unblock and DNS/IP leak results published on this site are point-in-time snapshots taken from specific locations, on specific hardware, using specific protocols and servers. They are illustrative, not guarantees. Real-world performance is affected by server load, distance to the server, ISP routing and throttling, time of day, Wi-Fi quality, device capability, protocol choice, and changes made by the provider or by the streaming platform. A VPN that unblocked a particular streaming library during our testing may be blocked again at any time, and we cannot guarantee continued access to any third-party service.

Accuracy, Pricing and Availability

We take care to keep our content accurate and up to date, but we make no representation or warranty that it is complete, current or error-free. Prices, plan tiers, discounts, free trials, money-back guarantee windows, server counts, device limits, supported platforms, ownership, jurisdiction, logging policies and audit status change frequently and often without notice.

Always confirm the current price, terms and features on the provider's own website before you subscribe. Where information on this site conflicts with the provider's own published information, the provider's information takes precedence. We correct genuine errors promptly when they are brought to our attention, but we are under no obligation to update any particular page.

Third-Party Links and External Websites

This site contains links to third-party websites, including VPN providers, app stores, payment pages, audit reports and news sources. We do not control and are not responsible for the content, accuracy, security, pricing, availability, terms of service or privacy practices of any external site. Including a link does not imply that we endorse everything on that site. Once you follow an external link, that site's own terms and privacy policy apply to you, not ours.

Trademarks and Third-Party Brands

All product names, service names, logos and trademarks referenced on this site — including but not limited to Surfshark, NordVPN, ExpressVPN, CyberGhost, Mullvad, Netflix, Hulu, BBC iPlayer, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+ and Kodi — are the property of their respective owners. They are used on this site for identification and descriptive purposes only, under nominative fair use.

Their use does not imply any affiliation with, sponsorship by, or endorsement by those trademark holders, and VPNSites is not an agent, reseller or official representative of any VPN provider. Where media or publication logos appear on this site, they indicate outlets that have reported on the VPN services concerned; they are not an endorsement of VPNSites or of our rankings by those outlets.

Lawful Use of VPNs — Your Responsibility

VPNs are legal to use in most countries, but they are restricted, regulated or prohibited in some, and the rules change. You alone are responsible for ensuring that your use of a VPN complies with the laws of the country you are in, the terms of service of your VPN provider, and the terms of service of any platform, network or employer whose service you access through it.

Nothing on this site is an encouragement to break the law or to breach a contract. We do not condone using a VPN to infringe copyright, to circumvent geographic licensing where doing so breaches a platform's terms, to evade lawful investigation, to harass others, or to commit any other unlawful act. References to torrenting and P2P on this site relate to lawful file sharing only. No VPN makes any user fully anonymous, immune from monitoring, or exempt from the law, and no security measure is ever absolute.

No Warranties

This website and all content on it are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim all implied warranties including merchantability, satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or free from errors, viruses or other harmful components.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, VPNSites, its owner, editors, writers and contributors accept no liability for any loss or damage of any kind — including direct, indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss, loss of data, loss of profits, loss of business or loss of goodwill — arising from your use of, or reliance on, this website or any content on it, or from any product or service you purchase from a third party after following a link from this site.

Any subscription you buy is a contract between you and the VPN provider. Billing, renewals, cancellations, refunds, customer support and the actual performance of the service are matters between you and that provider, and we have no control over them. Nothing in this disclaimer limits or excludes liability that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

Reader Reviews and User-Submitted Content

Where this site displays user ratings, comments or reader reviews, that content reflects the views of the individuals who submitted it and not the views of VPNSites. We do not independently verify user-submitted content and we accept no responsibility for its accuracy.

Changes to This Disclaimer

We may update this disclaimer at any time to reflect changes to our site, our commercial relationships or the law. The revised version takes effect as soon as it is published on this page, and the "last updated" date above will show when it was changed. Your continued use of the site after publication means you accept the current version.
