    Fact-Checking Policy

    Introduction

    At DiscountPrice.net, accuracy is one of our most important editorial responsibilities.

    Our website publishes information about discounts, product prices, bank/card offers, EMI promotions, cashback offers, marketplace deals, subscription offers, price drops, price increases, product comparisons, and offer-related news. Because this type of information can change quickly, we follow a careful fact-checking process before publishing and updating our content.

    This Fact-Checking Policy explains how we verify information, what sources we use, how we handle corrections, and what readers should do if they find outdated or incorrect information on our website.

    Our Fact-Checking Mission

    The goal of DiscountPrice.net is to help readers understand offers and prices more clearly using reliable, transparent, and verifiable information.

    We aim to publish content that is:

    • Accurate at the time of publication
    • Based on official or authorized sources where possible
    • Clear about offer validity and limitations
    • Transparent about calculations and assumptions
    • Updated when important information changes
    • Corrected when errors are identified

    We do not intentionally publish fake offers, misleading discounts, unverified cashback claims, or false price information.

    Why Fact-Checking Matters

    Discounts and offers can directly affect user decisions. A small error in an offer amount, cashback cap, EMI condition, or expiry date can mislead users.

    For example:

    • A bank discount may apply only to selected cards.
    • A cashback offer may have a maximum cap.
    • A no-cost EMI offer may include processing fees or taxes.
    • A product price may change after publication.
    • A subscription offer may be available only to new users.
    • A marketplace discount may apply only during selected sale hours.
    • A coupon code may stop working before the expected expiry date.

    Because of this, we treat offer-related information as time-sensitive and verify key details before publishing.

    Sources We Use

    DiscountPrice.net gives priority to official, authorized, and verifiable sources.

    Our fact-checking sources may include:

    • Official bank websites
    • Official credit card or debit card offer pages
    • Official EMI terms and conditions pages
    • Official cashback terms pages
    • Authorized marketplace offer pages
    • Product listing pages on recognized marketplaces
    • Official brand or manufacturer websites
    • Official subscription service pages
    • Public sale announcements
    • Marketplace terms and conditions pages
    • Product specification pages
    • Verified buyer reviews where applicable
    • Official press releases or public announcements

    We try to avoid relying only on screenshots, social media claims, copied posts, unknown blogs, unofficial deal groups, or unverified promotional messages.

    Primary Source Preference

    Whenever possible, we prefer primary sources.

    A primary source may include:

    • The official bank page showing the offer
    • The official marketplace page showing the discount
    • The official product page showing specifications
    • The official subscription platform page showing the plan or offer
    • The official terms and conditions page explaining eligibility
    • The official sale page showing dates and conditions

    If a claim cannot be verified from a reliable or official source, we may avoid publishing it or clearly mention that the information could not be independently confirmed.

    What We Verify Before Publishing

    Before publishing an offer-related article, our editorial process may include checking the following details:

    1. Offer Existence

    We verify whether the offer actually exists on an official or authorized platform.

    This may include checking:

    • Bank offer page
    • Marketplace sale page
    • Product listing page
    • Brand announcement
    • Subscription platform offer page
    • Official terms and conditions

    2. Offer Validity

    We check whether the offer has a start date, end date, sale period, or expiry condition.

    Where available, we may mention:

    • Offer start date
    • Offer end date
    • Limited-time availability
    • Sale event duration
    • “Until stocks last” condition
    • Platform-specific validity

    If validity is unclear, we may ask readers to verify the latest status from the official source.

    3. Price Information

    For product price-related articles, we verify the product price at the time of writing.

    This may include:

    • Listed price
    • Deal price
    • MRP
    • Discounted price
    • Effective price after bank offer
    • Price after coupon
    • Price after cashback
    • Price after exchange offer where applicable

    Because prices can change quickly, our articles may include a “price checked on” or “last updated” note where appropriate.

    4. Bank and Card Eligibility

    For bank/card offers, we check eligibility details such as:

    • Eligible bank
    • Eligible credit cards
    • Eligible debit cards
    • Eligible card networks
    • Minimum transaction amount
    • Maximum discount cap
    • Selected user limitations
    • Selected product/category limitations
    • Offer availability by marketplace or seller

    We do not assume that every card from a bank is eligible unless the official terms confirm it.

    5. EMI and No-Cost EMI Conditions

    For EMI-related offers, we check details such as:

    • Eligible banks
    • Eligible cards
    • Tenure options
    • Processing fees
    • No-cost EMI conditions
    • Interest adjustment
    • Taxes or GST on fees/interest
    • Minimum order value
    • Maximum discount cap
    • Product eligibility
    • Bank approval requirements

    We avoid presenting no-cost EMI as completely free unless the official terms clearly support that claim.

    6. Cashback Conditions

    For cashback offers, we check details such as:

    • Cashback amount
    • Cashback percentage
    • Maximum cashback cap
    • Eligible payment method
    • Cashback credit timeline
    • Wallet or bank credit rules
    • Cancellation impact
    • Return impact
    • User eligibility
    • Minimum order value
    • Offer expiry

    We do not guarantee cashback credit because final cashback approval and processing are controlled by the relevant bank, marketplace, wallet, or service provider.

    7. Product Details

    For product-related articles, we may verify:

    • Product name
    • Model number
    • Variant
    • Storage/RAM option
    • Color option where relevant
    • Display size
    • Processor or chipset
    • Battery capacity
    • Camera details
    • Warranty details
    • Seller information
    • Availability
    • Product specifications from official or marketplace sources

    We try to avoid mixing up variants, as different variants may have different prices, discounts, or features.

    8. Buyer Review Signals

    When we include product pros and cons based on buyer feedback, we may review verified buyer comments from recognized platforms.

    We may look for patterns such as:

    • Common praise points
    • Common complaint points
    • Build quality feedback
    • Battery feedback
    • Display feedback
    • Delivery or packaging complaints
    • Service or warranty complaints
    • Value-for-money sentiment
    • Long-term usage concerns where available

    We do not treat one buyer review as universal proof. Buyer-review-based observations are used as supporting context, not final proof of product quality.

    9. Calculation Checks

    When an article includes savings calculations, effective prices, EMI examples, or cashback examples, we try to check the math carefully.

    Calculations may include:

    • Discount percentage
    • Instant discount amount
    • Cashback amount
    • Maximum discount cap
    • Effective price after offer
    • EMI monthly amount
    • Total payable amount
    • Difference between two offers
    • Comparison with alternative products

    If a calculation depends on changing prices or user-specific eligibility, we may clearly mention that the example is illustrative.

    Our Review Process

    DiscountPrice.net may follow a multi-step review process depending on the type of article.

    The process may include:

    1. Research
      The writer collects information from official or authorized sources.
    2. Source Verification
      Key claims are checked against official pages, terms, or product listings.
    3. Calculation Review
      Discounts, cashback, EMI, and effective price examples are recalculated where needed.
    4. Editorial Review
      The article is checked for clarity, neutrality, safety, and misleading wording.
    5. Date and Validity Check
      The article date, offer validity, and last updated note are added or reviewed.
    6. Final Publishing Check
      The article is reviewed for formatting, official links, disclaimers, and user safety notices.

    AI-Assisted Content and Fact-Checking

    DiscountPrice.net may use AI tools to assist with research organization, drafting, summarization, formatting, comparison preparation, or editorial workflow.

    However, AI tools are not treated as final sources of truth.

    Any AI-assisted content involving offers, prices, bank discounts, EMI, cashback, subscriptions, or product comparisons should be reviewed by a human editor before publication.

    Human review may include:

    • Checking official sources
    • Verifying dates
    • Rechecking calculations
    • Removing unsupported claims
    • Adding missing limitations
    • Confirming official links
    • Improving clarity and neutrality
    • Ensuring no financial advice is given

    Final editorial responsibility remains with DiscountPrice.net’s human editorial team.

    Handling Fast-Changing Information

    Some information can change quickly, especially during sale events or limited-time promotions.

    Examples include:

    • Flash sale prices
    • Coupon codes
    • Bank offer availability
    • Stock availability
    • Seller participation
    • Cashback eligibility
    • Subscription trial offers
    • Product launch pricing
    • Limited-time promotional prices

    Because we do not control third-party platforms, we cannot guarantee that every offer will remain active after publication.

    Readers should always verify the latest price and terms on the official source before acting.

    Corrections Policy

    If we find that published information is inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, or misleading, we may take corrective action.

    Corrections may include:

    • Updating the article
    • Adding a correction note
    • Revising the price or offer amount
    • Updating the expiry date
    • Correcting calculations
    • Fixing broken links
    • Removing outdated claims
    • Adding missing terms and conditions
    • Clarifying that an offer has expired
    • Replacing unsupported information with verified data

    We aim to handle important corrections as quickly as reasonably possible.

    Update Notes

    When important information changes, we may update the article and include a visible update note where appropriate.

    An update note may explain:

    • Price changed
    • Offer expired
    • Cashback terms changed
    • EMI terms updated
    • New official source added
    • Product went out of stock
    • Marketplace changed the offer

    Not every small wording change will include a formal correction note, but material factual changes may be marked where needed.

    Expired Offers

    If an offer expires, we may:

    • Mark it as expired
    • Update the article with the latest status
    • Add an expiry notice
    • Redirect readers to a newer article where appropriate
    • Keep the article for historical reference
    • Remove or update outdated pricing claims

    Older offer articles may remain online for reference, but users should not rely on old articles without checking the latest official details.

    Price Change Handling

    For price-related content, we may mention the price observed at the time of writing.

    However, product prices can change due to:

    • Sale events
    • Seller changes
    • Stock changes
    • Coupon availability
    • Bank offer removal
    • Demand changes
    • Platform pricing updates
    • Delivery location
    • User-specific offers

    If a price changes after publication, it does not automatically mean the article was incorrect at the time it was written.

    Readers should always check the final price on the official marketplace or brand website.

    Use of Screenshots or Saved Evidence

    For internal editorial review, DiscountPrice.net may keep screenshots, notes, or source references related to offers, prices, or terms at the time of article preparation.

    These may help us verify:

    • Published price
    • Offer terms
    • Expiry date
    • Cashback cap
    • EMI conditions
    • Product listing details
    • Marketplace terms

    Such internal records are used only for editorial accuracy and review purposes.

    Limitations of Fact-Checking

    We work to maintain accuracy, but there are limitations.

    Some information may change after publication. Some third-party pages may be removed. Some offers may be user-specific. Some discounts may appear only at checkout. Some bank offers may depend on account eligibility, card type, or location.

    Because of this, DiscountPrice.net cannot guarantee that every user will receive the same price, discount, cashback, EMI benefit, or offer shown in an article.

    Our role is to publish verified and useful information to the best of our ability, while encouraging users to verify final details from official sources.

    No Personal Financial Verification

    DiscountPrice.net does not verify individual user eligibility for offers.

    We cannot check:

    • Your bank account eligibility
    • Your credit card eligibility
    • Your debit card eligibility
    • Your EMI approval status
    • Your credit limit
    • Your cashback status
    • Your order-specific discount
    • Your account-specific coupon
    • Your subscription eligibility

    Users must verify personal eligibility directly on the official bank, marketplace, brand, or service provider website.

    No Sensitive Data Required

    Readers should never send sensitive financial information to DiscountPrice.net for fact-checking or correction requests.

    Do not send:

    • OTP
    • Password
    • PIN
    • CVV
    • Full card number
    • Bank login ID
    • UPI PIN
    • Net banking credentials
    • Personal financial credentials

    We do not need such details to review article accuracy.

    For more about privacy and data safety, please read our Privacy Policy.

    Editorial Independence in Fact-Checking

    Our correction and fact-checking process is not controlled by advertisers, affiliate partners, banks, marketplaces, or brands.

    If an affiliate offer contains misleading terms, we may mention those limitations. If a sponsored or partner offer changes, we may update or correct the article based on the latest available information.

    Our goal is to protect reader trust and factual accuracy.
