What the vendor says it is responsible for

We quote a vendor’s terms only after re-reading the exact words on its page; until then, read them at the source: vendor terms.

Quoted only from the vendor’s own legal documents — terms, licence, legal notice or a published policy — never from its blog, help pages or marketing.

This page lists facts published by the vendor, each linked to the page we read it on. We have not used the product and do not rate it. In Chemical safety databases, verified listings come first, most recently confirmed at the top, then listed ones alphabetically; that order is not for sale.

Claim or correct this listing

Claiming is free. The owner confirms or corrects the facts; the card then shows “Verified by owner” with the date, a logo and a short description in the vendor’s own words, and comes first in its section — verified listings are ordered by the date the owner last confirmed the facts, which can be renewed once a quarter. Corrections from anyone are welcome — please say where the right fact can be checked. Claiming creates no contract and a listing can be removed on request: see the listing terms.
