1. Acceptance of These Terms
These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of MyDartFinder ("the site", "we", "us"). By using the site you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site. Nothing in these terms limits or excludes any rights you have under mandatory consumer protection law in your country of residence.
2. The Service
MyDartFinder is a free informational website that helps dart players compare darts and find models matching their stated preferences. The site does not sell products and does not process payments. Browsing, comparing, and using the finder tools does not require registration or a user account, and all matching and scoring runs locally in your browser. Posting comments (section 5) requires an account.
3. Data Accuracy (No Warranty)
The site is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
Important: Technical specifications in our database (weight, length, diameter, grip characteristics, materials, and other data points) are compiled from manufacturer information and our own research. Despite regular auditing, they may contain errors or become outdated, for example when a manufacturer revises a product. Always verify specifications with the retailer or manufacturer before making a purchase.
Compatibility scores and rankings produced by the finder tool are algorithmic estimates based on your stated preferences. They are informational guidance, not professional advice or a guarantee that a particular dart will suit you. If you spot an error in our data, please let us know.
4. Affiliate Links
The site participates in affiliate programmes and may earn a commission on qualifying purchases made through links on the site. This relationship does not influence rankings or recommendations. Full details are in our Affiliate Disclosure.
5. User Content & Moderation
This section applies once comments are enabled on the site. Until then it has no effect.
When you post a comment or reply on MyDartFinder ("user content"), you remain responsible for what you post. This section explains what you may post, how we review content, and what to do if you disagree with a decision we make about your content.
What you may not post. You may not post content that is illegal under applicable law, that infringes someone else's rights, that is spam, that impersonates another person, or that harasses, threatens, or abuses another user, or that is posted to circumvent an earlier moderation decision (see "Misuse" below). We may remove or restrict content that violates this rule, whether or not it is illegal. Section 6 (intellectual property) applies to user content as well.
How we review content. Every new post is checked by an automated filter on our own server before it is shown to other users. The filter applies predefined rules and pattern checks (for example word lists, links, and contact details); it does not use a machine-learning model and does not send your post to any outside company. Depending on the result:
- Low-risk posts are published automatically.
- Posts the filter flags as uncertain remain visible but are queued for a human reviewer.
- Posts the filter flags as high-risk are hidden from other users immediately and queued for a human reviewer.
A human always makes the final decision on flagged or hidden content; the filter's output is a signal, not a verdict. Automated hiding is temporary: it hides a post until a person has looked at it, which we aim to do within 7 days, and you can ask for human review at any time using the contact details below. If the automated check cannot run (for example, due to a technical error), your post is held back from publication until the check is retried or a human reviewer releases it. We do this so that unreviewed content is never left visible by default.
How we decide. We apply these rules in a diligent, objective, and proportionate manner, with due regard to the rights and legitimate interests of everyone involved, including your freedom of expression and the rights of the people a post is about. We consider the content, its context, and any explanation you give us.
Restrictions we may apply. Depending on the situation, we may hide a single post from public view, remove a single post, lock a discussion thread to new replies, or remove a thread entirely. We apply the narrowest restriction that addresses the issue. A restriction applies wherever the site is available; we do not restrict content by country. The statement of reasons states how long each restriction lasts: a post hidden by the automated check stays hidden only until a person has reviewed it; a removed post stays removed unless the decision is reversed on challenge; a locked thread is unlocked when the reason for locking no longer applies, and you can ask us to review it.
How you are notified. If we restrict or remove your content, whether by automated action or by human decision, we give you a statement of reasons at the latest when the restriction takes effect. It tells you: what was restricted (a single post or a whole thread), where (all countries where the site is available) and for how long; the facts and circumstances we relied on, including whether we acted on a report from someone else or on our own initiative; whether automated means were used to detect the content or to make the decision; the ground for the decision, that is, whether the content is considered illegal (with the legal provision and why the content falls under it) or in breach of this section (with the rule and why the content breaks it); and how to challenge the decision, as described below, including that you may also seek redress in court. The notice is shown in your account notifications and, where you have given us an email address, is also sent by email.
Challenging a decision. If you believe a restriction was applied in error, contact us at [email protected] with a link to or the reference of the post in question and why you believe the decision was wrong. Anyone whose content was restricted, and anyone whose report was declined, may challenge the decision within six months of the notice; this period does not limit any right you have under mandatory law or your right to go to court at any time. A person, not an automated system, reviews every challenge and replies by email, normally within 14 days, either confirming the decision with reasons or reversing it; while we review, the restriction stays in place. Given the size of our service there is no separate appeals board. If you disagree with our reply, you can bring the matter to a court (section 9).
Reporting content you believe is illegal. If you come across user content on MyDartFinder that you believe is illegal, you can report it using the "Report" link next to the post, or by emailing [email protected]. A complete report contains: an explanation of why you believe the content is illegal; the exact location of the content (the "Report" link records this for you; by email, include the link); your name and email address, unless the report concerns offences covered by Articles 3 to 7 of Directive 2011/93/EU, in which case you may report anonymously; and a statement that you believe in good faith that the information in the report is accurate and complete. When you submit a report you receive an on-screen confirmation of receipt with a reference number, and, if you gave an email address, a confirmation by email. We handle every report in a timely, diligent, non-arbitrary, and objective manner, and we tell you our decision by email, including how you can challenge it (see "Challenging a decision") and whether automated means were used in handling the report. If a report does not contain enough information to assess it, we may ask you for more or decline it, and we tell you why.
Misuse of the reporting or moderation system. Submitting repeated bad-faith reports, or attempting to circumvent moderation (for example, by resubmitting removed content under a different account), is itself a violation of these Terms. Depending on how often it happens and how serious it is, we may decline further reports from the same person for a stated period, hide or remove the resubmitted content, or restrict the account from commenting for a stated period. We warn you first and tell you our reasons, and you can challenge the decision as described above.
Editing posts. If you edit a published post, the edited version goes through the automated filter again before it is shown to other users. Until that check completes, the post is not visible to other users.
Account deletion and your posts. If you delete your account, we remove the account link and display name from your posts. The text of a post may stay visible where it is part of a conversation other users have taken part in and, after we have assessed its text, replies, links, and context, it no longer identifies you. If a post still identifies you, or if you ask us to remove specific posts, we erase or redact it as the law requires. See our Privacy Policy for details.
Point of contact (EU Digital Services Act). [email protected] is our single point of contact under the Digital Services Act (Regulation (EU) 2022/2065), both for authorities of EU member states, the European Commission, and the European Board for Digital Services (Article 11), which can communicate with us electronically at this address, and for users of the site (Article 12). Users can choose to write to this address or to use the form on our contact page; both are monitored by a person, and, where a response is required, a person answers. You can write to us in English or Finnish.

10. Changes to These Terms
We may update these terms from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated date at the top. If you have an account and a change materially affects your rights or obligations (for example, the content rules or the moderation process), we notify you in your account notifications, and by email where we have your address, at least 14 days before the change takes effect. You may delete your account at any time if you do not accept a change. For changes that do not affect account users, continued use of the site after the change takes effect constitutes acceptance.
