Copyright & Image Use

1. About This Page

FightGearLab.com is an independent editorial site that publishes reviews, scores, and comparisons of boxing and combat-sports equipment. This page explains how we use product imagery, what rights we claim, and how rights holders can contact us.

2. Editorial Nature & Accuracy

FightGearLab is an independent editorial site. Our reviews, scores, specifications, and product details are compiled from a combination of manufacturer-published information, retailer listings, hands-on testing where available, community feedback, video reviews, and structured editorial research. Our scoring framework is documented on our Methodology page.

Despite our best efforts to publish accurate and current information, FightGearLab may contain errors, omissions, outdated specifications, or interpretations that do not perfectly match a manufacturer's official product details. Boxing equipment specifications also change over time. Padding compositions, leather grades, sizing, weights, colorways, and prices can be updated by manufacturers at any time without notice.

Examples of information that may not always be precise on FightGearLab:

• Padding composition (e.g. horsehair vs. layered foam blends)
• Leather type and grade (e.g. cowhide vs. buffalo vs. full-grain)
• Country of manufacture
• Closure systems and wrist support construction
• Available sizes, weights, and colorways
• Pricing and current stock availability
• Editorial scores, which represent comparative editorial opinion rather than absolute measurement

Always verify product details with the official manufacturer or authorized retailer before making a purchase. FightGearLab cannot be held responsible for purchasing decisions made on the basis of information that has changed, been misinterpreted, or contains an error on our site.

4. Product Imagery
