Terms of Use
Last updated: 2026-05-18. The short version: read freely, use responsibly, don’t sue us if your back hurts.
1. Acceptance of terms
By accessing or using Standing Desk Reference (standingdeskreference.com, the “Site”), you agree to these Terms of Use. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the Site.
2. About the content
The Site provides editorial information about standing desks, ergonomics, and related products. Our scores, rankings, and recommendations represent our opinions based on publicly available information and our own analysis. They are not professional medical, ergonomic, financial, or legal advice. Standing desks affect different bodies differently; if you have a back, joint, circulatory, or other medical condition that might be affected by your work setup, consult a qualified healthcare or ergonomic professional before relying on anything you read here.
We try hard to get things right and we update content when we’re informed of errors, but we make no warranty that specific scores, specs, prices, or compatibility claims are accurate at any given moment. Specs change; prices change. Verify what matters with the manufacturer before purchase.
3. Affiliate links
The Site contains affiliate links from which we may earn commissions on qualifying purchases. The complete disclosure is on our Affiliate Disclosure page. You are not charged extra for purchases made through these links.
4. Intellectual property
The content on the Site — our reviews, scoring methodology, original photography, written analysis, and the data table presentation — is owned by Standing Desk Reference and is protected by copyright. You may:
- Link to any page on the Site, with or without attribution.
- Quote short passages with attribution and a link back, for purposes of commentary, criticism, news reporting, or other fair use.
- Print or save individual pages for your personal reference.
You may not:
- Republish substantial portions of the Site’s content elsewhere without permission.

Trademarks belonging to desk manufacturers, retailers, and other third parties (e.g., “Uplift Desk,” “Flexispot,” “Ergodriven,” “Amazon”) are the property of their respective owners and are used here nominatively to refer to those companies and their products.
5. No warranty
The Site is provided “as is” and “as available.” To the maximum extent permitted by law, Standing Desk Reference disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We don’t guarantee that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components.
6. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Standing Desk Reference and its operators are not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Site or any decisions you make based on its content — including any product purchases, ergonomic outcomes, or business decisions. Your sole remedy if you’re unhappy with the Site is to stop using it.
7. External links
The Site links to external websites we don’t control — manufacturer storefronts, news articles, research papers, Reddit threads, YouTube reviews, and so on. We’re not responsible for the content, practices, or accuracy of those external sites. Their privacy policies and terms apply when you visit them.
8. Changes to these terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we’ll change the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Continued use of the Site after a change constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
9. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of [State to be specified], without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute relating to the Site or these Terms will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in [State to be specified].
