Terms of Service
Effective Date: January 2025
Plain English summary: Use AskMaddi to search for products. We show you results from retailers and may earn a commission if you buy something. We're not responsible for the products themselves or what happens after you click through to a retailer. Don't abuse the service. That's basically it.
