Terms of Service

Effective date: March 12, 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, or guaranteed any manufacturer's operations, products, or compliance status.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the Inventory Ready website at inventoryready.com (“the Site”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, do not use the Site.

2. Service Description

Inventory Ready is an independent directory and educational resource for evaluating dietary supplement contract manufacturers. 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 stated limitations. Each listing includes a section describing what we could not assess or verify.
  • Assessments do not constitute a warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or compliance with any law or regulation.

4. Use of Information

Information on this Site is provided for educational and informational purposes. You should not rely solely on our assessments when making business decisions about manufacturers. We strongly recommend that you:

  • Conduct your own independent due diligence
  • Request documentation directly from manufacturers
  • Consult with qualified legal, regulatory, and industry professionals
  • Visit manufacturing facilities before entering into agreements

5. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SITE AND ALL INFORMATION, CONTENT, 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, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ACCURACY.

6. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, INVENTORY READY AND ITS 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, DATA, BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SITE OR RELIANCE ON ANY INFORMATION PROVIDED ON THE SITE.

This limitation applies regardless of the theory of liability (contract, tort, strict liability, or otherwise) and even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

7. Intellectual Property

All content on this Site, including text, assessments, method descriptions, and design, is the property of Inventory Ready and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from our content without prior written permission.

8. AI-Assisted Content

Guides, assessments, educational articles, and other content on this Site are drafted with the assistance of artificial intelligence tools. All content is reviewed and edited by Greg Huang, who has brought over 50 supplement products to market across nearly two decades in the dietary supplement industry.

AI tools assist with research compilation and initial drafting. Editorial judgment, industry knowledge, manufacturer evaluations, and factual accuracy checks are Greg's responsibility. We are transparent about using these tools because we believe disclosure builds trust.

Despite this review process, AI-assisted content may contain errors. You should independently verify any facts, regulatory requirements, or manufacturer details before making business decisions. See Section 4 (“Use of Information”) above.

9. 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, or a fiduciary relationship of any kind. Inventory Ready is not a broker, agent, consultant, 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

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

10. Third-Party Links

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.

11. Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Your continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

12. Governing Law

These terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
