Agreement to Terms
By accessing or using Selvedge Denim List ("the Website"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use our website.
Description of Service
Selvedge Denim List is an informational website that provides a directory of selvedge denim stores and brands, editorial content about denim care and selection, and community features including user accounts, saved searches, and store reviews. We do not sell products directly; we provide information about third-party retailers and may earn affiliate commissions on some outbound links.
Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old to create an account or submit reviews. If you're using the Website on behalf of a business, you represent that you have the authority to bind that business.
Reviews and User Content
You keep ownership of content you submit (reviews, comments, etc.). By submitting content, you grant us a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to host, store, display, and distribute that content on the Website and in related promotional material.
You represent that the content is yours to submit, that it reflects your honest first-hand experience, and that it does not infringe anyone else's rights. When submitting reviews, you agree to the following rules:
- Reviews must be based on your own experience with the store. Do not review stores you have never visited or purchased from.
- No paid, incentivized, or reciprocal reviews. Disclose any financial or personal relationship with the store, or don't submit a review.
- No harassment, hate speech, or personal attacks. Criticism of a business is fine; targeting individuals is not.
- We may remove reviews that violate these rules, without notice.
Usernames
Choose a username that does not impersonate another person, business, or organization. We may reclaim usernames we believe are being used in bad faith. Only one account per person; automated account creation is not permitted.

Third-Party Links and Content
