8. Affiliate Disclosure

Santa may suggest gifts with links to Amazon or other retailers. These may be affiliate links, meaning we earn a small commission if you make a purchase. This doesn't affect the price you pay. We only suggest products we think are relevant to your interests.

We do our best, but we can't guarantee everything will work perfectly all the time. Santa has good intentions, but he's not infallible!

  • We are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages
  • We are not responsible for gifts that don't work out (sorry!)
  • We are not liable for third-party products, services, or websites

12. Changes to Terms
