HWBOT provides to you, the user a world-wide competition for benchers, automatically updating rankings in off-site forums & statistical information about the performance and overclockablity of specific hardware components. We at HWBOT strive to provide you the most up-to-date, complete & accurate online resource of hardware performance and benchmarking statistics. While we make every effort to assure the accuracy of the information available on the HWBOT site and forums rankings, we are not perfect. Because HWBOT is highly dependent on data submitted to us by others and the interaction of different forum software, user tags, internet connectivity and server load(s), there is the potential for incomplete or erroneous information.

FOR THE REASONS OUTLINED ABOVE, THIS SERVICE IS PROVIDED TO YOU “AS IS”. HWBOT DOES NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR DIFFICULTIES YOU MAY ENCOUNTER WITH OUR SERVICE. FURTHERMORE, THE SERVICE IS OFFERED TO YOU WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY OR ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY. FURTHERMORE, HWBOT DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL LOSS OR LIABILITY RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE HWBOT WEBSITE.

• for non 3D related benches, you must be the legal owner of the processor, with exceptions to hardware on lend by an impartial store, manufacturer or contest holder.
• Screenshots must be clear and may not be manipulated except for a personal watermark. Avoid the use of software which may cause visual corruption, like a custom windows skin (eg. windows blinds, multimonitor setup, …).
