This disclaimer applies to all information presented about suppliers, factories, and manufacturers on the GIWAHS platform.
1. Informational purpose
Supplier profiles, trust scores, verification badges, and intelligence briefs are provided for sourcing research purposes only. They are not endorsements, guarantees, or recommendations to engage any specific supplier.
2. No guarantee of performance
Trust Score and verification badges are aggregated informational indicators. They are not guarantees of product quality, on-time delivery, ethical sourcing compliance, legal compliance, financial solvency, or any specific commercial outcome.
3. Buyer due diligence
Buyers are solely responsible for conducting independent due diligence before engaging any supplier — including factory audits, sample evaluation, contractual safeguards, legal review, and reference checks.
4. Supplier-submitted information
Some profile information is submitted by suppliers themselves. While we review documentation, we cannot guarantee the absolute accuracy or completeness of all supplier-submitted content.
5. Featured placement separation
Featured supplier placements are paid promotional listings clearly labelled. Featured status does not grant verification badges, raise trust score, or change directory sort position.
6. Information changes
Supplier capabilities, certifications, and contact details may change over time. Always verify current information directly with the supplier before engagement.
7. Limitation
GIWAHS (Whaitiri Black Limited) is not party to, and bears no liability for, any commercial engagement between buyers and suppliers identified through the platform.
