9. Accuracy of Information & Product Descriptions

We work hard to keep product information, ingredients, and prices accurate and up to date.

Artificial Intelligence & AI-Generated Content

Queen Compares uses artificial intelligence (AI) to assist in generating, summarising, and analysing certain content and features on this Website, including product and brand descriptions, ingredient safety analyses, dupe (affordable alternative) recommendations, comparison guides, and blog articles.

• AI outputs may be inaccurate. AI-generated content may contain errors, omissions, or outdated information. You should always verify important details — especially ingredient lists and safety information — against the product packaging and with qualified professionals.
• Not professional advice. AI-generated analyses, recommendations, and ingredient assessments are provided for general entertainment and informational purposes only. They do not constitute medical, dermatological, nutritional, or fitness advice and are not a substitute for guidance from a licensed professional.
• No liability for AI advice. Neither Queen Compares nor any of its agents or partners shall be liable for any damages arising from your reliance on AI-generated content or recommendations.
• Human review. Public-facing AI-assisted content (such as blog articles and comparison guides) is reviewed by a human editor before publishing. Product descriptions and ingredient analyses may be AI-generated and are labelled as such on the relevant pages.
• Transparency. Where content has been generated or significantly assisted by AI, we make reasonable efforts to label it as "AI-generated" or "AI-assisted" so you can identify it.
