Reevol Verified

1. About this statement

This statement sets out what the "Reevol Verified" mark means, what it does not mean, and the basis on which it is published. It is issued by 40Seas Inc., which operates the Reevol platform ("Reevol", "we", "us").

It applies wherever the mark appears: on a supplier's Reevol catalog page, on that supplier's product pages, in directory and category listings, in any PDF or text export of those pages, and in the structured data Reevol makes available to software agents. Where any other Reevol surface describes the mark more briefly, this statement governs.

A translated summary of the mark appears above. That summary is provided for convenience. This English text is the operative version, and in the event of any inconsistency it prevails.

2. Definitions

"The mark" means the "Reevol Verified" badge and any accompanying list of checks, dates or wording that Reevol publishes with it.

"Supplier" means the business whose page carries the mark. "Buyer" means any person reading that page or receiving its content through any Reevol surface.

"Checks" means the specific verifications listed in section 3 that Reevol completed for that supplier and publishes alongside the mark.

3. What Reevol checks

The mark is awarded on the checks below. A supplier's page lists only the checks Reevol actually completed for that supplier. A check that is not listed was not made, and the list should not be read as a score, a rating or a proportion of some larger set.

• Registered company. Reevol matched the supplier to a company record in official and commercial business registry data. This confirms that a company of that name exists on the record we matched. It does not confirm the supplier's standing, solvency, or that the registry entry is current.
• Live company website. Reevol requested the website the supplier publishes and received a response from it on the supplier's own domain. This says nothing about the content of that website, its accuracy, or who wrote it.
• Owner identity verified. An individual identified as an owner completed a government-identity and liveness check through a third-party identity provider. This confirms that a person presented an identity document that the provider accepted. It does not confirm that person's authority to act for the supplier.
• Company documents on file. Reevol holds a company document, such as an incorporation or ownership record, that the supplier provided. Reevol has not authenticated that document against its issuer, and the check is deliberately not described as documents being verified.
• Sanctions and watchlist screening. Reevol screened the supplier's name against consolidated sanctions data. A supplier with an unresolved match does not carry the mark. A clear screen is not a statement that the supplier is not subject to any restriction anywhere.

4. The checks are automated

Except where a check expressly says otherwise, the checks are made by automated systems reading data and documents. No Reevol employee or agent visits the supplier, inspects any premises, meets any person, observes any production, samples any goods, or reviews any file by hand as part of awarding the mark.

This is a deliberate design and it is the main limit on what the mark can tell you. A programme that audits a factory in person can say things about that factory. This one cannot, and does not.

5. Point in time, and re-checking

Each check reflects the information available to Reevol at the time it was made, and the date shown with the mark is the date of that review. Circumstances change, records are updated, and a business that was accurately described on that date may not be on any later one.

Reevol re-evaluates the mark whenever a page is served, and may withdraw it at any time, without notice, and without stating a reason. Reevol publishes no expiry date and makes no commitment that any check will be repeated on any schedule. The continued presence of the mark is not a confirmation that anything has been re-checked recently.

6. What the mark does not mean

The mark is a statement about the existence and identity of a business. It is not a statement about that business's goods, its conduct, or its ability or willingness to perform. In particular, and without limitation, Reevol makes no statement and gives no assurance about:

• the quality, safety, legality, origin, authenticity, specification or fitness for purpose of anything the supplier makes, sells or ships;
• whether the supplier manufactures anything at all, as opposed to trading, reselling or intermediating goods made by others;
• the supplier's factory, premises, equipment, capacity, labour practices, environmental practices, or compliance with any standard or law;
• any certification, licence, test report, audit or accreditation the supplier displays or claims, none of which Reevol has independently verified unless it says so;
• whether the supplier will respond, quote accurately, accept an order, ship, ship on time, ship what was agreed, honour a warranty, or behave honestly;
• the supplier's finances, solvency, creditworthiness, or ability to meet its obligations. The mark is not a credit assessment, and it is not an approval to transact, to extend credit, or to receive payment;
• any endorsement, recommendation, ranking or preference by Reevol. Publishing the mark does not mean Reevol recommends the supplier, prefers it to any other supplier, or has any opinion about whether you should deal with it.

7. Information from third parties and from the supplier

The checks draw on business registry data, sanctions and watchlist data, a third-party identity provider, publicly available web content, and information and documents the supplier itself provided. Reevol does not control those sources and did not create that information.

Reevol makes no representation as to the authenticity, accuracy, completeness or timeliness of any of it, and accepts no liability arising from an error, omission, delay or change in it. Where a source is wrong, the mark may be wrong.

8. No warranty

The mark and everything published with it are provided on an as-is and as-available basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Reevol disclaims all warranties and conditions of any kind, whether express, implied or statutory, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement.

9. Your own due diligence

The mark is one input and is not a substitute for your own enquiry. Before you commit to a transaction you should carry out the diligence appropriate to its size and risk, which may include obtaining your own references, samples, inspections, certifications, credit information and contractual protections.

If a decision would be unreasonable to make without more, the presence of the mark does not make it reasonable.

10. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Reevol accepts no liability for any loss, damage, cost or expense of any kind, whether direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive, arising out of or in connection with the mark, the checks, any information published with them, or any dealing between a buyer and a supplier. This includes loss of profit, loss of contract, loss of goodwill and loss of data, whether or not Reevol was advised that such loss was possible.

Any contract you enter into is with the supplier and not with Reevol. Reevol is not a party to it, is not an agent, broker, guarantor, insurer or escrow agent for either side, and takes no position in it.

Nothing in this statement excludes or limits any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for death or personal injury caused by negligence.

11. The supplier's own obligations are unaffected

The mark does not discharge, release, reduce or transfer any obligation a supplier owes to a buyer or to anyone else, whether commercial, contractual, regulatory or legal. Those obligations remain entirely the supplier's, exactly as they would be if the mark did not exist.

Reevol verifies trader information against official sources where they are available to it. Doing so is not a certification that a supplier complies with any law, holds any licence or permission, or is entitled to sell any particular goods into any particular market.

12. The absence of the mark means nothing

Most suppliers on Reevol do not carry the mark. A supplier without it may never have been assessed, may be part-way through, may not have provided what a check needs, may be on a plan that does not display it, or may simply not have asked.

No adverse inference of any kind should be drawn about a supplier from the absence of the mark, and Reevol publishes no negative, no failed state and no explanation for its absence about any named business.

13. How a supplier obtains, keeps and loses the mark

Two separate things are required, and both must hold at the same time. First, the supplier must pass the checks in section 3, which Reevol runs automatically and which cannot be bought. Second, the supplier must be on a Reevol plan that displays the mark, which is a paid plan.

We state the second requirement plainly because it matters to how you read the mark: a supplier that has passed every check will not display the mark on a free plan, and payment alone never produces it. Paying does not influence whether a check passes, and it does not affect a supplier's position in any Reevol search result, listing or ranking. Where Reevol offers paid placement, it is a separate product and is disclosed as such where it appears.

Reevol may withhold or withdraw the mark at any time, including where a check no longer holds, where information turns out to be inaccurate, where a screening result is unresolved, or where Reevol considers publication inappropriate.

14. Reporting an error

If you believe the mark is displayed incorrectly, that a check is wrong, or that information published with it is inaccurate, write to contact@reevol.com with the supplier's page address and what you believe is wrong. Reevol will look into it and will correct or withdraw the mark where appropriate.

A supplier who believes the mark has been withheld or withdrawn in error may use the same address.

15. Changes to this statement

Reevol may update this statement. The date at the top is the date of the current version, and the version published here at any time is the one that applies.
