The ground rules.

1. Acceptance

By accessing VerifyRecall, you agree to these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the site. We may update these terms; the date above shows the current version.

2. Informational purpose

VerifyRecall normalizes public recall and enforcement data into plain-language pages. The service is not the official source of any recall, is not affiliated with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration or any recalling company, and does not replace the official notice, product label or advice from a qualified professional.

3. No medical or legal advice

Health information, symptom summaries, hazard descriptions and suggested actions are general information only. They are not a diagnosis, treatment recommendation or assurance that a product is safe. For medical concerns, consult a healthcare professional. For legal concerns, consult a qualified lawyer.

4. Data accuracy and availability

We aim to reflect official records accurately, but data can be delayed, incomplete, changed or incorrectly mapped. Codes, dates, distribution, classifications and statuses may change after our last sync. We do not guarantee that a product is or is not affected by a recall. You are responsible for verifying information against the official source and the product packaging before acting.

The site is provided on an “as available” basis. We may change, suspend or discontinue any part of it, including the index, alerts or pages, without notice.

5. Third-party links and commerce

The site contains links to third-party sites, including official sources and Amazon affiliate links. We do not control and are not responsible for third-party content, products, availability, pricing, safety or privacy practices. A link is not an endorsement. Affiliate relationships are disclosed near the links; purchases are governed by the third party's terms.

6. Advertising

Display advertising may be served by third parties. Advertisers do not review or approve recall records, classifications or editorial copy. Ad placement does not imply that an advertiser's product is safe, recalled, recommended or connected to a recall.

7. Email alerts

Alert subscriptions are optional and do not create an account. Alerts are not guaranteed to be complete, real-time or error-free. Do not rely on VerifyRecall alerts as the only source for a safety decision. You can unsubscribe using the link in an alert email or by contacting us.

8. Intellectual property

The VerifyRecall name, site design, original editorial copy and normalization structure are protected by applicable intellectual property laws. Public-domain source data remains subject to its own terms. You may link to our pages and quote short excerpts with attribution, but you may not republish the site wholesale, remove attribution or use our branding in a misleading way.

9. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Scrape or automate the site in a way that degrades availability.
• Attempt to bypass access controls, security or rate limits.
• Upload malicious code or interfere with the service.
• Use the site to misrepresent a product's safety or a recall status.
• Use contact channels for spam, harassment or unlawful activity.

10. Disclaimers and limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the site is provided without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy and non-infringement. To the fullest extent permitted by law, VerifyRecall and its operators will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for decisions made in reliance on the site. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

11. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless VerifyRecall and its operators from claims, losses and expenses arising from your misuse of the site or violation of these terms, to the extent permitted by law.

12. Governing terms

These terms are governed by applicable law, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. If a provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.
