How Claims are Reviewed (Disclaimer)
For approved claims, OS Hub staff has reviewed, through a three-step process, that the claimant has a genuine connection to the production location it is claiming and sufficient authority to make the claim. However, OS Hub staff does not verify each detail the claimant subsequently adds about a location, e.g. production capabilities, certifications, MOQs etc.
If you believe that information for a claimed profile is inaccurate or incorrect, please send an email to claims@opensupplyhub.org with a link to the production location profile and an explanation of the problem.
