Terms of Use
By using Spot Bot (the website at spot-bot.co.uk), you agree to the terms below. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.
1. What the service is
Spot Bot is a free online tool that displays live and historical precious metal prices (gold, silver, platinum, palladium) and provides a calculator for working out the value of a piece of metal at a given purity, weight and percentage of spot. It is intended as a quick-reference tool for hobbyists, jewellers, scrap dealers, bullion enthusiasts and anyone curious about precious metal prices.
2. Not financial or investment advice
The site is for guidance only. Nothing on Spot Bot constitutes financial, investment, tax or legal advice. Prices are indicative, may be delayed, and should not be relied on as the basis for any actual transaction. If you are making a buying, selling, scrapping or trading decision, you should verify prices independently with a regulated dealer.
3. Accuracy and availability
Live and historical price data is supplied by a third-party market data provider. We make no warranty that:
- Prices are accurate, complete or up-to-date at any given moment
- The site will be available without interruption
- Calculations are free of bugs or rounding error
The site may be slow, unavailable or display incorrect prices at times. We do our best to keep it running smoothly, but offer no guarantees.
4. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by UK law, we accept no liability for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential or punitive losses arising from use of the site or reliance on any information it displays. This includes (without limitation) financial losses from trades or transactions made on the basis of prices shown on Spot Bot.
Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be excluded under UK law (such as for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or fraud).
5. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Use the site or its data for any unlawful purpose
- Scrape, automate or otherwise place undue load on the service
- Attempt to bypass the API proxy, extract internal credentials, or access non-public endpoints
- Reverse-engineer, decompile or attempt to derive source code beyond what is publicly viewable in the browser
- Resell or redistribute the price data as your own service
6. Intellectual property
The Spot Bot name, brand, logo, layout, code and content are owned by the operator. Content from the site (e.g. screenshots) may be shared for personal, non-commercial purposes provided the Spot Bot branding is left intact. The underlying market data remains the property of its provider.
7. Affiliate links
Some links on the site are affiliate links and may earn us a commission at no extra cost to you. See our Affiliate Disclosure for full details.
8. Changes to the service
We may add, change, restrict or remove features at any time without notice. We may also discontinue the site entirely.
9. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by an updated "last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the new terms.
10. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.
