Terms of Use

Last updated: May 2026

1. Acceptance

By accessing or using dupe.watch ("the Service") — which includes the website at dupe.watch and the dupe.watch browser extension — you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service. We may update these terms at any time; continued use of the Service after changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms.

2. What dupe.watch does

dupe.watch is a search and discovery tool that helps users find affordable watch strap alternatives on AliExpress. When you submit a URL from a supported strap brand — or browse a product page on a supported retailer with the browser extension installed — the Service fetches publicly available product data from that store, uses AI to generate a descriptive search query, and displays matching results from AliExpress.

dupe.watch is not a retailer. We do not sell, stock, ship, or handle any products. All purchases are made directly with third-party sellers on AliExpress. We are not a party to any transaction between you and any seller.

2a. The dupe.watch browser extension

The dupe.watch Chrome extension is an optional add-on that surfaces matching AliExpress alternatives as a slide-in panel while you browse product pages on a fixed list of supported watch strap retailer websites. The extension is provided free of charge and is part of the Service — your use of it is governed by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy.

The extension only activates on the supported retailer domains listed in its manifest. It does not request broad permissions and cannot read or interact with any other website. You can uninstall the extension at any time from your browser's extensions page. We may update the extension from time to time through the Chrome Web Store, including adding or removing supported domains and changing how results are displayed.

The extension is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any of the retailers on whose product pages it activates. It exists solely to help you discover affordable alternatives on AliExpress and to surface our own publicly available content.

3. Affiliate disclosure

Some links on this Site are affiliate links. When you click an AliExpress link and make a purchase, dupe.watch may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. Affiliate relationships do not influence which products are displayed, how they are ranked, or how search results are generated.

4. No endorsement of brands or products

dupe.watch is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or in any way officially connected with AliExpress, Alibaba Group, or any watch strap brand referenced on this Site. Brand names, trademarks, and product names are the property of their respective owners and are used solely for descriptive and comparative purposes.

5. Counterfeit and replica goods

dupe.watch is designed to help users find legitimately manufactured affordable alternatives — not counterfeits, replicas, or goods that infringe intellectual property rights. We do not knowingly promote, link to, or endorse counterfeit goods.

You are responsible for reviewing product listings before purchase. If you encounter a listing that appears to sell counterfeit goods, do not purchase it and report it to AliExpress directly.

6. Third-party content and availability

Product images, titles, prices, and availability are sourced from AliExpress and supported strap brand websites. This information is provided for reference only and may be outdated, incomplete, or inaccurate. dupe.watch makes no warranties regarding the accuracy, availability, or quality of any third-party product or listing.

7. Disclaimer of warranties

The Site is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses or other harmful components.

8. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, dupe.watch and its operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, the Site or any linked third-party service — including but not limited to purchases made on AliExpress.

9. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  • Use the Service for any unlawful purpose
  • Scrape, crawl, or systematically harvest content from the Service without our permission
  • Attempt to interfere with the Service's infrastructure or security
  • Submit URLs that are malicious, misleading, or intended to cause harm
  • Modify, reverse-engineer, or repackage the dupe.watch browser extension, or distribute modified versions of it
  • Use the browser extension or any dupe.watch API to make automated or excessive requests beyond ordinary personal use

10. Intellectual property

All original content on dupe.watch — including text, design, and code — is owned by or licensed to dupe.watch. You may not reproduce or redistribute this content without written permission. Product images and brand names remain the property of their respective owners.

11. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States. Any disputes shall be resolved exclusively in the courts of competent jurisdiction.
