Cool Mom Picks

Terms of Use

Effective Date: 2026-09-21

Last Reviewed: 2026-09-21

At a Glance

This summary is for convenience. The full Terms below control.

  • Cool Mom Picks is an editorial publisher. We recommend products but generally do not sell them; purchases through retailer links are transactions with the retailer.
  • We may earn affiliate commissions and revenue from advertising or sponsored content. Disclosures near the relevant content provide additional details.
  • Our articles, recommendations, search results, and AI-assisted outputs are informational and may be incomplete, outdated, or wrong. They are not professional advice.
  • You may read our work and share links to it. Limited attributed quotation is permitted, but wholesale copying, bulk scraping, model training, and substitute products are not.
  • Newsletter subscriptions require newsletter consent and may require email confirmation. You can unsubscribe using the link in a marketing email.
  • The arbitration section applies only if you and we later enter into a separate, explicit arbitration agreement. Reading the site or subscribing to a newsletter does not by itself accept arbitration.

1. Agreement and Scope

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) are between you and Cool Mom Picks International Holdings LLC, a California limited liability company (“Cool Mom Picks,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). They govern your use of the current Cool Mom Picks website at coolmompicks.com and the Cool Mom Picks email newsletters that link to these Terms (together, the “Services”).

These Terms do not purport to govern separately operated websites, retired products, partner-branded products, or services that do not link to them.

By using the Services after these Terms take effect, you agree to the provisions applicable to ordinary use of the Services. If you do not agree, do not use the Services. Our Privacy Policy explains our personal-information practices.

No automatic agreement to arbitration. Ordinary use of the site, submission of a newsletter form, confirmation of a newsletter subscription, and continued receipt of newsletters do not constitute acceptance of Section 17. Section 17 applies only if a separate interface clearly presents the arbitration agreement and you expressly accept it.

2. Eligibility and Reader Accounts

The Services are intended for a general audience and are not directed to children under 13. If you are under the age at which you may enter into these Terms where you live, you may use the Services only with the involvement of a parent or legal guardian.

The current public Services do not provide reader accounts or public member profiles. Staff authentication is separate from reader access and does not create a reader account.

3. Editorial Content

3.1 Opinions and updates

Reviews, roundups, gift ideas, and other recommendations reflect editorial judgment when published or updated. Products, prices, availability, features, safety information, and retailer terms can change. We may correct, update, reorganize, or remove content, but we do not promise to update every item after publication.

3.2 Samples and relationships

Brands may provide products, information, event access, travel, or other things of value. Receipt of an item or access does not guarantee coverage or positive coverage. We disclose material connections when disclosure is required or would help readers evaluate the content.

3.3 Sponsored content and advertising

Some content or placements may be paid for by sponsors or advertisers and should be labeled accordingly. An advertisement or sponsored placement is not a warranty or guarantee by Cool Mom Picks. Advertisers and sponsors are responsible for their own claims, products, and services.

4. Affiliate Links and Retailers

4.1 How we may earn money

Some links on the Services are affiliate or commerce links. If you click one and complete a qualifying transaction, Cool Mom Picks may receive compensation, at no additional cost to you. We may also receive revenue from sponsorships and advertising. A disclosure on or near particular content supplements this Section.

4.2 We are generally not the seller

Unless a page expressly says otherwise, Cool Mom Picks does not sell, manufacture, ship, warrant, or service the products we cover. A purchase from a linked retailer is between you and that retailer and is subject to its prices, stock, shipping, return, warranty, safety, and privacy terms. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for a retailer’s conduct or for a third-party product, including defects, injuries, delivery issues, refunds, or handling of your information.

4.3 Product information changes

Prices, promotions, inventory, images, specifications, and eligibility terms may change without notice. Product descriptions and images may come from a manufacturer, retailer, affiliate feed, sponsor, or other third party. Confirm important information with the seller or manufacturer before acting.

5. Newsletters

5.1 Subscription and confirmation

When you submit the newsletter form and affirmatively consent, we send the email address to Mailchimp with a request to place a new address in pending status. A new subscriber may need to complete Mailchimp’s confirmation step before receiving marketing newsletters. Submitting a contact message or other correspondence does not subscribe you.

5.2 What we may send

Newsletters may include editorial updates, product recommendations, gift ideas, deals, affiliate links, and clearly disclosed sponsored material. Frequency and format may change.

5.3 Unsubscribing

Marketing messages include an unsubscribe mechanism. You may also request help at info@coolmompicks.com. An unsubscribe may not prevent non-marketing messages needed to process a request, document a preference, or comply with law.

5.4 No text-message program

The current newsletter signup is for email, not text messages. Any future text-message program would require separate terms and consent.

6. Information and Entertainment, Not Advice

Content on the Services is for general information and entertainment. It is not medical, health, safety, nutrition, developmental, legal, tax, financial, or other professional advice. Consult an appropriately qualified professional about your circumstances.

Before using a product—especially a juvenile product, car seat, sleep product, toy, food, or product with age or allergy considerations—read the manufacturer’s current instructions and warnings, check age grading and ingredients, and check authoritative recall information. Do not rely on Cool Mom Picks as your only source of safety information.

7. Search, Recommendations, and AI-Assisted Features

7.1 Automated features

Some current or future search and recommendation experiences may use artificial intelligence (“AI Features”). When an AI Feature is available, you are interacting with software, not a person. Outputs may include affiliate-linked products.

7.2 Accuracy and appropriate use

AI outputs may be inaccurate, incomplete, repetitive, outdated, biased, or unsuitable. They are not editorial reviews unless expressly identified as such, are not professional advice, and are not a safety assessment. Verify material facts with authoritative sources, manufacturers, and retailers.

7.3 What not to enter

Do not enter names, contact information, account credentials, photos, precise location, government identifiers, financial information, health information, or other sensitive or confidential information into an AI Feature. If a recommendation concerns another person, describe interests and an approximate age range without identifying that person.

7.4 Restrictions

You may not use an AI Feature or its output to:

  • evade technical restrictions or attempt to reveal system instructions, credentials, or nonpublic data;
  • generate or distribute unlawful, infringing, deceptive, abusive, or harmful material;
  • access the feature or collect outputs in bulk or through automated means;
  • train, fine-tune, evaluate, or otherwise develop an AI or machine-learning model without our written permission;
  • build a product that substitutes for the Services or presents outputs as Cool Mom Picks editorial statements; or
  • misrepresent an automated output as a statement made by a human editor.

Subject to these Terms, you may use an output for personal, noncommercial purposes. We do not promise that an output is unique or that another person will not receive a similar output.

8. Ownership

The Services—including their text, original photographs, graphics, logos, design, software, selection, arrangement, and compilation—are owned by or licensed to Cool Mom Picks and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. Product names, third-party photographs, trademarks, and other third-party material remain the property of their respective owners.

9. Permission for Readers

You may view the Services, share links to pages, and print a reasonable number of pages for personal, noncommercial use.

You may quote a short excerpt when reasonably necessary for commentary, discussion, or reference if you clearly attribute Cool Mom Picks and link to the source page. This permission does not allow reproduction of a complete article, list, recipe, image, newsletter, substantial portion of a work, or enough content to substitute for reading the original. Uses permitted by law do not require this contractual permission.

For other permissions, contact info@coolmompicks.com.

10. Automated Access and AI Use of Our Content

We reserve rights in our content for text and data mining and machine learning, subject to applicable law.

A search engine or AI answer service may retrieve and use a page at query time to answer a specific user request only if it:

  • honors our robots.txt file and other applicable machine-readable instructions;
  • identifies and attributes Cool Mom Picks as a source;
  • provides a reasonably prominent link to the specific source page; and
  • does not reproduce enough content to replace the page or the Services.

Except for that limited permission or with our written authorization, you may not use crawlers, scrapers, automated agents, or similar tools to copy, index for a private substitute service, extract, monitor, or republish content in bulk. You may not use our content to train, fine-tune, develop, or improve an AI or machine-learning model, create a corpus or dataset, or build a product that substitutes for the Services. Rate limits, access controls, robots.txt, and other machine-readable signals are part of these restrictions.

This Section is an express reservation of rights for text and data mining, including under Article 4(3) of Directive (EU) 2019/790 where applicable. Licensing inquiries may be sent to info@coolmompicks.com.

11. Prohibited Conduct

You may not:

  1. use the Services for unlawful, fraudulent, infringing, harassing, threatening, or abusive activity;
  2. impersonate another person or misrepresent an affiliation, endorsement, or source;
  3. introduce malware or interfere with the operation, availability, security, or integrity of the Services;
  4. evade access controls, rate limits, consent controls, or security measures;
  5. probe or test vulnerabilities without written authorization;
  6. collect personal information about other people through the Services;
  7. send spam through or about the Services; or
  8. access or use the Services by automated means except as Section 10 expressly permits.

We may restrict access, remove material within our control, preserve evidence, and cooperate with lawful requests where reasonably necessary to protect the Services, readers, third parties, or Cool Mom Picks.

12. Messages, Tips, and Feedback

If you send us a message, tip, pitch, correction, or other material, you represent that you have the right to send it. Unless we separately agree otherwise in writing, you grant us a nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, edit, and publish material you intentionally submit for possible publication, solely in connection with our editorial and promotional activities. This license does not transfer ownership to us.

Do not send confidential information unless we have agreed in writing to receive it confidentially. We may use general ideas and feedback without compensation, but this does not give us ownership of your preexisting intellectual property or personal information. Our handling of personal information is governed by the Privacy Policy.

13. Copyright and Image Concerns

We respect intellectual-property rights. If you believe material on the Services infringes your copyright, contact us at info@coolmompicks.com or at the mailing address in Section 25. Please include:

  • your name and contact information;
  • identification of the copyrighted work;
  • the URL and a description of the material at issue;
  • a statement explaining your good-faith belief that the use is unauthorized;
  • a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act for the owner; and
  • your physical or electronic signature.

If your material was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may contact us with the URL, the material’s prior location, your contact information, a statement under penalty of perjury that removal resulted from mistake or misidentification, consent to the jurisdiction required by applicable law, and your signature.

Nothing in this Section represents that Cool Mom Picks has registered a designated agent with the U.S. Copyright Office. Knowingly submitting a material misrepresentation may create liability under applicable law.

14. Third-Party Services and Links

The Services may link to or include material from retailers, brands, advertisers, sponsors, social platforms, or other third parties. We do not control their sites, products, terms, availability, security, or privacy practices. A link does not necessarily mean that we endorse every statement or practice of the third party. Use third-party services at your own discretion and review their terms and policies.

15. Promotions

If we offer a contest, sweepstakes, giveaway, or similar promotion, separate official rules and any collection notice presented for that promotion will govern. If those rules conflict with these Terms regarding the promotion, the official rules control.

16. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

16.1 No warranties

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICES, CONTENT, LINKS, NEWSLETTERS, RECOMMENDATIONS, AND AI OUTPUTS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” COOL MOM PICKS DISCLAIMS ALL EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT CONTENT, PRICES, PRODUCT DETAILS, SAFETY INFORMATION, OR RECOMMENDATIONS WILL BE COMPLETE, ACCURATE, OR CURRENT.

16.2 Excluded damages and cap

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, COOL MOM PICKS AND ITS MEMBERS, MANAGERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRIBUTORS, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THE SERVICES, CONTENT, NEWSLETTERS, AI OUTPUTS, THIRD-PARTY PRODUCTS, OR THIRD-PARTY CONDUCT, UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, EVEN IF ADVISED THAT SUCH DAMAGES WERE POSSIBLE.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THE SERVICES OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED US $100.

16.3 Rights that cannot be limited

These exclusions and limits do not apply to liability that applicable law does not allow to be excluded or limited, which may include liability for fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence, violation of law, or death or personal injury caused by negligence. Some jurisdictions do not allow particular warranty disclaimers or damages limits, so some provisions may not apply to you.

For New Jersey consumers, this Section and Section 18 apply only to the extent permitted by New Jersey law, and nothing in these Terms waives a nonwaivable right under the New Jersey Truth-in-Consumer Contract, Warranty and Notice Act.

17. Conditional Arbitration; Separate Express Acceptance Required

THIS SECTION DOES NOT CURRENTLY APPLY MERELY BECAUSE YOU VISIT THE SITE, SUBMIT OR CONFIRM A NEWSLETTER SUBSCRIPTION, RECEIVE AN EMAIL, OR CONTINUE USING THE SERVICES.

17.1 Formation

This Section applies only if, after these Terms are published, we present you with a separate and conspicuous arbitration acceptance control that links to this Section, tells you that arbitration and the class-action waiver apply, and requires an unambiguous affirmative action to accept. We must retain a record sufficient to show that acceptance. A prechecked box, newsletter consent, general acceptance of Terms, or browsewrap notice is not enough.

If no such separate agreement is formed, Section 19 governs disputes. Subscribing to a newsletter never automatically enrolls a person in arbitration.

17.2 Informal resolution

If this Section applies, a party must first send a written notice describing the dispute, requested relief, and sender’s contact information to the other party. Notices to us must be sent to info@coolmompicks.com and the mailing address in Section 25. The parties will attempt in good faith to resolve the matter for 60 days, and applicable limitation periods will be tolled during that period where permitted by law.

17.3 Individual arbitration

If the dispute is not resolved, either party may require binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its applicable Consumer Arbitration Rules and, if applicable, its Mass Arbitration Supplementary Rules, as in effect when the matter is filed. The Federal Arbitration Act governs this arbitration agreement.

  • One neutral arbitrator will be selected under the AAA rules.
  • The proceeding may occur by documents, phone, video, or in the consumer’s county of residence, as the applicable rules allow.
  • We will pay consumer arbitration fees beyond the amount the consumer would pay to file the claim in court, unless the arbitrator determines that a claim was frivolous or brought for an improper purpose.
  • The arbitrator may award individual relief available in court and will provide a reasoned written decision.
  • A court decides whether an arbitration agreement was formed and questions concerning the enforceability of the class-action waiver. The arbitrator decides other questions of scope and interpretation.
  • If AAA is unavailable, the parties will agree on a substitute or a court may appoint one as permitted by law.

17.4 Class-action and jury-trial waiver

IF THIS SECTION APPLIES, YOU AND COOL MOM PICKS MAY BRING CLAIMS ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, AND EACH PARTY WAIVES A JURY TRIAL. If a court finds the waiver unenforceable for a particular claim or remedy, that claim or remedy will proceed in court after the arbitration of arbitrable individual claims, unless applicable law requires otherwise.

17.5 Exceptions

Either party may bring an eligible individual claim in small-claims court, seek temporary or injunctive relief in court to protect intellectual-property rights, or communicate with a government agency. Nothing prevents an agency from seeking relief where authorized by law.

17.6 Opt out

If you separately accept this Section, you may opt out within 30 days after that acceptance by emailing info@coolmompicks.com with the subject “Arbitration Opt-Out” or mailing the request to the address in Section 25. Include your name, the email address used for acceptance, and a clear statement that you opt out. Opting out does not affect newsletter status or other use of the Services.

17.7 Changes

A change to this Section will not apply to a dispute of which either party had notice before the change took effect. If a separately accepting user does not reject a future material arbitration change within the stated notice period, enforceability will remain subject to applicable law and the acceptance record.

18. Limited Indemnity

To the extent permitted by law, you will indemnify and defend Cool Mom Picks from a third-party claim, and reasonable resulting losses and costs, to the extent the claim arises directly from material you intentionally submit for publication, your infringement of a third party’s rights, or your willful violation of these Terms or law. This obligation does not apply to the extent a claim results from our fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct, or violation of law. We will provide reasonable notice, may control the defense, and will not settle in a way that admits your fault or imposes a nonmonetary obligation on you without your consent, not to be unreasonably withheld.

19. Governing Law and Courts

California law and applicable federal law govern these Terms, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. A dispute not subject to a valid arbitration agreement will be brought in a state or federal court with jurisdiction in Los Angeles County, California, and the parties consent to personal jurisdiction there. If applicable consumer law gives you a nonwaivable right to bring a claim where you live, this paragraph does not take that right away.

20. Time to Bring Claims

To the extent permitted by law, a claim arising from the Services or these Terms must be filed within one year after the claim accrues. If applicable law does not permit that period, the shortest permitted period applies.

21. Service Changes and Availability

We may change, suspend, restrict, or discontinue all or part of the Services. We do not promise uninterrupted availability, preservation of a particular page, or continued support for a feature. We may impose reasonable technical limits to protect readers, content, and infrastructure.

22. Accessibility

We aim to make the Services accessible. If you encounter a barrier, please contact info@coolmompicks.com or use our contact page and identify the page and problem.

23. Changes to These Terms

The effective date is shown above. For a later material change, we intend to provide at least 30 days’ advance notice by a reasonably prominent site notice and, when appropriate and operationally available, by email to subscribers. A change will not apply retroactively to a dispute already noticed by either party. Continued use after the stated effective date of revised Terms constitutes acceptance of the non-arbitration provisions to the extent allowed by law. Arbitration always remains subject to Section 17’s separate-acceptance requirement.

24. General Terms

  • Entire agreement. These Terms, the Privacy Policy, and any feature-specific or promotion terms presented to you are the entire agreement concerning the Services within their scope.
  • Severability. If a provision is unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum permissible extent and the remainder will continue, subject to Section 17.4.
  • No waiver. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.
  • Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our consent. We may assign them in connection with a merger, financing, reorganization, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to applicable law.
  • Events beyond control. We are not responsible for delay or failure caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
  • No third-party beneficiaries. Except for the persons protected by Section 16, these Terms do not create third-party beneficiary rights.
  • Survival. Provisions that by their nature should survive will survive, including Sections 4.2, 6–10, 12–20, 23, and 24.
