Disclaimer & risk notice

Risks of online purchasing

Buying goods or services online—including from overseas suppliers or marketplaces—carries inherent risks. These may include fraud, counterfeit or substandard goods, misrepresentation, customs and import restrictions, delays, shipping damage, payment disputes, language barriers, differing legal systems, limited recourse across borders, and difficulty enforcing contracts or judgments.

Technology can reduce uncertainty but cannot eliminate these risks. Verification steps, certifications, ratings, messaging history, listing text, and similar signals may be incomplete, outdated, erroneous, manipulated, or misunderstood. Prices, lead times, and specifications communicated online may not match what you ultimately receive.

No warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, SourceLucid and its operators, affiliates, and suppliers provide the website, products, credits, analyses, scores, recommendations, summaries, and all related materials on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory—including without limitation warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, reliability, completeness, timeliness, or freedom from harmful code.

We do not warrant that analyses will identify all risks, errors, fraud, or non-compliance, or that any supplier is suitable for your use case. Outputs may depend on incomplete or user-provided information and automated or rule-based logic; they are not guarantees of supplier performance, legitimacy, financial soundness, or suitability.

Third parties

References to suppliers, platforms, certifications, jurisdictions, shipping lanes, customs rules, regulators, insurers, inspectors, laboratories, factories, or other third parties are for context only and do not imply endorsement or partnership. Deals you enter remain solely between you and the counterparty unless a separate written agreement says otherwise.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, SourceLucid and its operators, affiliates, officers, employees, and agents shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunities, arising out of or related to your use of the service, any purchase or payment (including credit purchases), any procurement decision, or reliance on any output—whether based in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or otherwise, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

Your sole and exclusive remedy for dissatisfaction with the service is to stop using it, subject to any refund or chargeback rights you may have under applicable payment network rules or consumer law (where they apply and cannot be waived).

Indemnity

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless SourceLucid and its operators, affiliates, officers, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to your use of the service, your purchases, your relationships with suppliers, or your violation of law or third-party rights.

Changes

We may update this page from time to time. The “Last updated” date above will be revised when we do. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised disclaimer to the extent permitted by law.
