Terms & Conditions

Last updated: 12 August 2026

These Terms & Conditions govern your use of the Ability Buy website.

Please read these Terms & Conditions before using the website.

By accessing or using Ability Buy, you agree to comply with these Terms & Conditions and the policies referred to within them.

If you do not agree with these Terms & Conditions, please do not use the website.

1. About Ability Buy

Ability Buy is a software discovery, comparison and buying website operated by:

James William Steven Parker
Operating as Ability Buy
Bristol, England, United Kingdom

Email: hello@abilitybuy.com

Website: https://www.abilitybuy.com/

Ability Buy provides information about software products supplied by third-party software publishers, developers, retailers and other providers.

Ability Buy does not ordinarily develop, manufacture, licence, sell, supply or directly provide the software products featured on the website.

2. Purpose of the Website

Ability Buy exists to help individuals and businesses:

  • Discover software.
  • Research software products.
  • Compare software products.
  • Understand software features.
  • Review available plans and pricing information.
  • Find relevant software providers.
  • Access software providers’ purchase pages.
  • Make more informed software purchasing decisions.

Ability Buy may publish product information, comparisons, buying guides, reviews, explanatory content and other editorial material.

3. No Direct Sale of Software

Unless expressly stated otherwise on a particular page, Ability Buy is not the seller or supplier of the software products featured on the website.

When you click a purchase link, you may be transferred to the website of a software publisher, retailer, affiliate network or other third-party provider.

Any purchase you make will generally be governed by the terms and conditions of that third party.

The contract for the purchase, licensing or supply of software is generally between you and the relevant software provider or seller.

Ability Buy is not ordinarily a party to that purchase contract.

4. Third-Party Providers

Software featured on Ability Buy may be provided by independent third parties.

Those providers are responsible for matters including, where applicable:

  • Software licensing.
  • Product delivery.
  • Account creation.
  • Activation.
  • Payment processing.
  • Subscriptions.
  • Renewals.
  • Refunds.
  • Cancellation.
  • Technical support.
  • Product updates.
  • Product warranties.
  • Customer service.
  • Security of their own services.
  • Their own terms and conditions.

You should review the relevant provider’s terms, licensing conditions, privacy policy, refund policy and other applicable information before purchasing.

5. Product Information

Ability Buy aims to provide useful, accurate and understandable information about software products.

However, software products, features, compatibility, prices, plans, licensing arrangements, promotions and availability can change.

Information published by Ability Buy may therefore become outdated or differ from the information currently provided by the relevant software provider.

Where pricing or other time-sensitive information is displayed, you should verify the current information with the relevant provider before purchasing.

6. No Guarantee of Accuracy

Ability Buy makes reasonable efforts to maintain accurate published information.

However, to the extent permitted by law, Ability Buy does not guarantee that every item of information on the website will always be:

  • Complete.
  • Current.
  • Error-free.
  • Available.
  • Suitable for every user.
  • Identical to the information currently provided by a third party.

If you identify a material factual error, please contact Ability Buy so that it can be reviewed.

7. Software Compatibility

Software compatibility varies between products and may depend on factors including:

  • Operating system.
  • Operating system version.
  • Hardware.
  • Device specifications.
  • Processor architecture.
  • Available storage.
  • Network connectivity.
  • Software dependencies.
  • Licensing arrangements.
  • Geographic availability.
  • Provider-specific requirements.

You are responsible for checking the relevant provider’s current technical requirements before purchasing or installing software.

8. Pricing and Offers

Ability Buy may display software prices, plans, discounts or promotional information.

Prices and offers may change without notice.

Where a price is displayed on Ability Buy, it may not represent the price currently available from the software provider.

The final price, currency, taxes, discounts, renewal charges and other applicable costs are determined by the relevant seller or software provider.

You should check the provider’s purchase page before completing a transaction.

Ability Buy uses affiliate links.

An affiliate link may allow Ability Buy to receive a commission if you click the link and subsequently make a qualifying purchase or complete another qualifying action.

Affiliate commissions are generally paid by the relevant software provider, retailer or affiliate network and do not normally create an additional charge for you.

The existence of an affiliate relationship does not mean that the software provider has paid for a favourable editorial conclusion.

Further information is available in the Affiliate Disclosure.

10. Advertising and Sponsorship

Ability Buy may display advertising or participate in sponsorship arrangements.

Advertising and sponsorship may provide a source of revenue for the website.

Commercial relationships do not automatically determine Ability Buy’s editorial conclusions.

Advertising and sponsored material will be presented in accordance with the applicable Ability Buy policies and legal requirements.

Further information is available in the Advertising & Sponsorship Policy.

11. Editorial Content

Ability Buy publishes editorial content intended to help users research software.

Editorial content may include:

  • Product descriptions.
  • Reviews.
  • Comparisons.
  • Buying guides.
  • Category guides.
  • Explanatory articles.
  • Product recommendations.

Editorial content represents Ability Buy’s assessment based on the information and sources available when the content was prepared.

Editorial conclusions are not guarantees that a particular product will be suitable for every individual or organisation.

12. Reviews and Comparisons

Ability Buy may review or compare software products using its published Product Review & Comparison Methodology.

Comparisons may consider factors such as:

  • Features.
  • Functionality.
  • Compatibility.
  • Pricing.
  • Plans.
  • Intended users.
  • Security or privacy characteristics where relevant.
  • Ease of use.
  • Product limitations.
  • Other factors relevant to the particular category.

Not every product will be assessed using identical criteria where the nature of the products or category makes that inappropriate.

Further information is available in the Product Review & Comparison Methodology.

13. No Professional Advice

Information published by Ability Buy is general information.

It is not professional, legal, financial, cybersecurity, technical, medical or other specialist advice.

Where software decisions could have significant consequences, you should obtain appropriate professional advice and verify information directly with the relevant provider.

14. Your Responsibility

You are responsible for determining whether software is suitable for your own requirements.

Before purchasing or installing software, you should consider matters including:

  • Your intended use.

Your use of a third-party website is subject to that website’s own terms and policies.

16. Third-Party Purchases

When you leave Ability Buy and purchase software from another provider, the transaction is governed by the third party’s applicable terms.

Ability Buy does not ordinarily process the purchase, receive payment from you, deliver the software or provide product-specific customer support.

If you experience a problem with a purchase, licence, account, activation, refund or software installation, you should normally contact the provider or seller from which you purchased the product.

Ability Buy may assist by directing you towards the relevant provider where reasonably possible, but it cannot guarantee that the provider will resolve the issue.

17. Third-Party Terms

Third-party providers may impose additional terms.

These may include:

  • End User Licence Agreements.
  • Subscription terms.
  • Acceptable use policies.
  • Refund policies.

You are responsible for reading and understanding the applicable third-party terms before entering into a transaction.

If you are a consumer, you retain the protections and rights provided by applicable consumer law.

The Consumer Rights Act 2015 contains protections concerning unfair terms and consumer rights, and terms that are unfair to consumers may not be binding.

32. Consumer Rights

If you are a consumer, nothing in these Terms & Conditions affects your statutory rights.

In particular, these Terms & Conditions do not remove rights you may have under applicable consumer legislation merely because a product or service is accessed through a third party.

Where a third-party provider sells software directly to you, that provider is responsible for complying with the consumer rights applicable to that transaction.

33. Business Users

If you use Ability Buy in connection with a business, professional or commercial activity, certain consumer protections may not apply to you.

If Ability Buy does not immediately enforce a provision of these Terms & Conditions, that does not mean that Ability Buy has permanently waived its right to enforce that provision.

Any waiver must be considered in the circumstances in which it is made.

37. Severability

If any provision of these Terms & Conditions is found to be unlawful, invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be interpreted or modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it lawful and enforceable where possible.

If that is not possible, the affected provision will be treated as removed to the extent necessary.

The remaining provisions will continue to apply.

38. Entire Agreement

These Terms & Conditions, together with the policies and notices expressly referred to within them, set out the principal terms governing your use of Ability Buy.

They do not override any separate contract you may have with a third-party software provider.

Where a separate agreement applies to a particular transaction or service, that agreement may contain additional terms.

39. Governing Law

These Terms & Conditions are governed by the laws of England and Wales, subject to any mandatory legal protections that apply to you.

If you are a consumer living elsewhere in the United Kingdom or another jurisdiction, mandatory rights that cannot lawfully be excluded may continue to apply.

40. Jurisdiction

Subject to any mandatory consumer rights concerning where legal proceedings may be brought, the courts of England and Wales shall have jurisdiction in relation to these Terms & Conditions.
