General Information Only

The information and services provided by China Sourcing Guard (the "Service") are for general informational purposes only. Our risk snapshot, red flags, questions to ask, and payment safety guidance constitute a preliminary review based on the information you provide at the time of submission. They do not constitute professional advice, legal advice, financial advice, or an official due diligence report.

No Endorsement or Disapproval

China Sourcing Guard does not endorse, approve, or disapprove any specific supplier, company, or entity. The risk indicators and red flags identified in our reports are based on general risk patterns and the information available to us at the time of review. The absence of red flags does not indicate that a supplier is reliable, and the presence of red flags does not indicate that a supplier is fraudulent.

Not a Substitute for Due Diligence

Our risk snapshot is an initial assessment tool and is not a substitute for full due diligence. Before making any financial commitment, we strongly recommend that you:

• Conduct independent verification of the supplier's business registration and credentials
• Request and verify references from previous customers
• Obtain a detailed proforma invoice with full specifications
• Consider hiring a professional inspection agency for factory visits
• Consult with legal and financial advisors regarding payment terms and contracts
• Use secure payment methods such as letters of credit or escrow services

Limitations of Remote Assessment

Our assessments are conducted remotely based on information provided by you and publicly available data. We do not visit factories, inspect equipment, or verify physical operations. Our analysis is limited by the accuracy and completeness of the information provided. If inaccurate or incomplete information is submitted, our assessment may not reflect the actual risk.

No Liability

China Sourcing Guard, its owners, employees, and affiliates shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising from your use of the Service or reliance on any information provided. You assume full responsibility for any decisions made based on our reports.
