Checkmate is an editorial discovery platform dedicated to elevating Arab-American businesses across the United States. We tell their stories, we celebrate their work, and we give them visibility. This page explains the boundaries of that role — what we do, and what we don't.
Checkmate does not sell, ship, fulfill, or process payments for any product or service shown on the platform. We are not a retailer, broker, agent, or distributor for the businesses we feature. Every purchase, booking, or service request happens directly between you and the business — outside of Checkmate.
Every business featured on Checkmate is independently owned, operated, and managed. Being featured here is not an endorsement, certification, guarantee, or warranty of any kind regarding the quality, safety, legality, or performance of a business's products or services. We share their stories — we don't underwrite their work.
The information on this platform — including business names, locations, contact details, photos, prices, product offerings, and founder stories — is provided by the businesses themselves or compiled in good faith from their submissions. Details may change over time, and we cannot guarantee that everything on the platform is always current or error-free. If you spot something out of date, please let us know.
Content published on Checkmate — including articles, founder interviews, captions, and editorial features — is intended for storytelling and informational purposes only. It is not professional, legal, financial, medical, or business advice, and should not be relied on as such. For decisions that matter, please consult a qualified professional.
Checkmate links to external websites, shops, and social media accounts owned by the businesses we feature, as well as to third-party tools and platforms we use to operate. We are not responsible for the content, practices, accuracy, availability, or privacy policies of any third-party site. Visiting them is at your own discretion.
Anything you choose to buy, book, or engage with based on what you see on Checkmate is your own decision. Please do your own due diligence — check reviews, ask questions, verify details — and contact the business directly with any concerns about their products, services, or policies.
To the fullest extent allowed by law, Checkmate and its team are not liable for any loss, damage, dispute, or claim arising from the use of this platform or from any interaction, transaction, or relationship between visitors and the businesses we feature. This includes — but is not limited to — losses related to product quality, service experience, fulfillment, communication, or any outcome connected to a featured business.
