Terms of Service

Effective date: October 4, 2026

“Assessed” vs. “Verified”

Throughout this site, we use the word “assessed” to describe our evaluation of manufacturers. This is a deliberate choice. “Assessed” means we have applied our published method to publicly available information. It does not mean we have verified, audited, certified, endorsed or guaranteed any manufacturer's operations, products, or compliance status.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the website at inventoryready.com or any Inventory Ready service (together, “the Site”), including by submitting a form, signing up for the newsletter, using a tool, or sending us information, you agree to these Terms of Service for yourself and for any business you represent, and you confirm that you have authority to do so. If you do not agree, do not use the Site. The Site is for business use.

Additional terms apply to some services: the RFQ Service Terms for sourcing requests, and the Manufacturer Terms for manufacturers and service providers.

2. Service Description

Inventory Ready is a directory and educational resource for evaluating dietary supplement contract manufacturers and related service providers. We provide assessments based on publicly available information using a published method.

Inventory Ready is not a certification body, auditing firm, or regulatory authority. Our directory is an educational tool. It does not replace your own due diligence, professional advice, or direct engagement with manufacturers.

3. Assessment Disclaimers

Our manufacturer assessments are subject to the following limitations:

  • Assessments are based on publicly available information and manufacturer-provided documentation. We do not conduct on-site inspections or audits.
  • Assessments are not certifications. The word "assessed" does not imply verification, endorsement, or guarantee of any kind.
  • Assessments reflect information available at the time of review. Manufacturing operations, certifications, and compliance status can change.
  • Assessments have limitations, including those stated on a listing.
  • Assessments do not constitute a warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or compliance with any law or regulation.

4. Information Only, Not Advice

Everything on the Site, including guides, tools, calculators, estimates and assessments, is general information. It is not legal, regulatory, financial or other professional advice. Tool results are estimates. You are responsible for your own decisions. Before relying on anything on the Site, do your own due diligence: request documentation directly from manufacturers, consult qualified professionals, and inspect facilities.

5. AI-Assisted Content

Content on the Site, including guides, assessments and tool outputs, may be created with the assistance of artificial intelligence. It may contain errors. Verify facts, regulatory requirements and manufacturer details independently before acting on them. Our editorial process is described in our editorial standards.

6. Introductions and Informational Guidance

Inventory Ready may, at your request, provide introductions to manufacturers, share observations about which manufacturers may be suited to your project, or offer general informational guidance about the supplement manufacturing process.

These communications are informational only and do not constitute professional advice, brokerage, agency, partnership or a fiduciary relationship of any kind. Inventory Ready is not a broker, agent, consultant, partner or fiduciary. We do not negotiate contracts, guarantee outcomes, or assume responsibility for any transaction between you and a manufacturer.

You are solely responsible for:

  • Selecting manufacturers and negotiating terms
  • Conducting your own due diligence, including facility audits, reference checks, and contract review
  • Ensuring compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, and quality standards
  • Evaluating product quality, manufacturing timelines, and business terms
  • Your contracts, payments and disputes with any manufacturer

Inventory Ready makes no representations or warranties regarding the quality, performance, reliability, regulatory compliance or suitability of any manufacturer listed on the Site or introduced through our services.

7. Your Materials and Our License

You keep ownership of what you or your representatives submit, send or enter through the Site or exchange with us by any channel, including form submissions, tool inputs, messages, files and feedback (“Materials”).

You grant Inventory Ready and its affiliates a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, transferable and sublicensable license to use, copy, store, analyze, adapt and create derivative works from Materials for any business purpose. This includes providing and improving our services, sharing Materials with manufacturers and service providers, creating datasets, creating and publishing aggregated or de-identified information such as benchmarks and statistics, and developing, training and improving artificial intelligence and machine-learning models. Models, datasets, analyses and other results we create are ours. You represent that you have the right to provide the Materials and to grant this license.

Each acceptance of these terms covers the Materials you provide with or after that acceptance. Materials you provided earlier are covered once you confirm that to us in writing or through a form we provide.

Materials are not confidential, and we owe no confidentiality duty for them, unless a signed nondisclosure agreement between you and us says otherwise. Our Privacy Policy describes how we handle personal information.

8. Our Content and Acceptable Use

All content on the Site, including text, data, assessments, method descriptions and design, is the property of Inventory Ready and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You may view the Site and share links to it for your internal business use. You may not:

  • Copy, scrape or bulk-download our content or data to build or improve a competing directory, dataset, product or service, or to resell it
  • Misrepresent who you are, or submit information you have no right to submit
  • Interfere with the Site or get around its security or access controls

Automated access is allowed only as our robots.txt file permits.

9. Third-Party Links and Manufacturers

The Site may contain links to third-party websites, including manufacturer websites and regulatory resources. We do not control and are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or availability of these external sites, or for any manufacturer's acts, products or services.

10. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SITE AND ALL INFORMATION, CONTENT, TOOLS AND ASSESSMENTS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY. INVENTORY READY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ACCURACY.

11. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, INVENTORY READY AND ITS AFFILIATES, OWNERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUES, DATA, GOODWILL OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SITE OR RELIANCE ON ANY INFORMATION PROVIDED ON THE SITE. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SITE WILL NOT EXCEED US$100.

These limits apply regardless of the theory of liability (contract, tort, strict liability, statute or otherwise) and even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

12. Indemnity

You will defend and indemnify Inventory Ready and its affiliates, owners, officers, employees and agents against claims, losses and costs (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your Materials, your products, your use of the Site, your dealings with manufacturers, or your breach of these terms.

13. Changes to These Terms

We may change these terms by posting an updated version on this page with a new effective date. The updated terms apply from that date, and your use of the Site after that date is your acceptance of them.

14. Suspension

We may change, suspend or end the Site, any service, or your access to them at any time.

15. Governing Law and Disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. The state and federal courts located in Delaware have exclusive jurisdiction, and you consent to them. We may seek an injunction in any court that has jurisdiction. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you and we each waive trial by jury. Any claim must be filed within one year after it arises.

16. General

These terms, the Privacy Policy and any additional terms named in Section 1 are the entire agreement about the Site. A signed agreement between you and us controls where it conflicts with these terms. We may assign these terms and our rights under them without restriction, including to an affiliate or in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization or sale of assets. If a provision is unenforceable, the rest stays in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You agree that we may communicate with you electronically.
