1. Disclaimer

DeLima Associates makes no expressed or implied warranties, representations or endorsements whatsoever (including, without limitation, warranties of title or non-infringement, or the implied warranties of fitness of brands for a particular purpose) with regard to any information provided in the Consumer Product Information Database (CPID).

DeLima Associates does not test any products nor investigate to determine if the information displayed on the site is complete or accurate. We do our best to record the information as it appears on product labels and other sources. Manufacturers frequently change formulations, and although we strive to keep information current, a lag period may occur between the time when a manufacturer makes a change to a label or a (Material) Safety Data Sheet, and the time a change appears in the CPID. As a result, we cannot guarantee that the information in the database is 100% accurate, current or complete, at a particular point in time. When precise ingredient or health effects or first aid information is important, the CPID should not be considered a substitute for reading labels on products or for contacting the manufacturer. For these purposes, we have provided manufacturers’ telephone numbers and mailing addresses where available.

The user assumes full responsibility for using this site and understands and agrees that DeLima Associates is neither responsible nor liable to you or anyone else for any claim, loss or damage resulting from its use. The information that DeLima Associates provides is largely of a general nature and is not intended to address the specific circumstances of any particular individual or entity. Further, the information is not professional or legal advice. Similarly, the information, documents and data made available on the CPID website, including that provided by third parties, are provided “as is” and without any warranty of any kind, either express, implied, or arising by statute, custom, course of dealing, or trade usage.

Every effort is made to keep the website up and running smoothly. However, DeLima Associates takes no responsibility for, and will not be liable for, the website being temporarily unavailable due to technical issues beyond our control.
