Version 1.0 — 3 September 2026. These terms apply to everything published on importrules.com and to every report, monitoring subscription and listing purchased from Import Rules. Dutch law applies where the law requires a choice.
Import Rules publishes reference material about EU product regulations, built from public sources (EUR-Lex, ECHA, national authorities) with the source and verification date stated per answer. It is not legal advice. No client relationship arises from reading this site or buying a report. Always verify against the official text before acting, and appoint a qualified professional for your specific situation.
Our visibility measurements count which sources appear when specific buyer questions are put to search and language-model services. Every measurement carries a date and method. Positions in search engines and language models change continuously and cannot be controlled by us. A report is a snapshot, not a prediction or a guarantee. We do not warrant that any action, ours or yours, will result in being mentioned by any model or search engine.
To the extent permitted by law, the total liability of Import Rules for any claim connected to the site, a report, a monitoring subscription or a listing is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim (for one-off reports: the price of that report). We are not liable for indirect damage, lost turnover, lost profit or missed opportunities. Nothing in these terms limits liability where the law does not allow it to be limited.
The editorial tables are compiled from what companies publish about themselves and are unpaid. Extended (paid) listings and sponsorships are always labelled as such, are limited per section, and never appear inside an answer to a buyer question. We may refuse or end any paid placement at any time; fees for the remaining period are then refunded. Being listed — paid or not — is not an endorsement and says nothing about quality, capacity or solvency of a company.
Reports bought at reseller volume may be passed on to your own clients. Resale under your own name is permitted for the report format you paid for; the underlying measurement method, the source data and this document remain the property of Import Rules. As a reseller you are responsible for what you tell your clients about the report; our liability towards your clients is excluded and remains limited to what you paid us, as in section 3.
Subscriptions are monthly and can be cancelled any day, effective at the end of the paid month. Annual payments get twelve months of service for ten monthly invoices; cancelling early refunds the unused whole months. One-off reports can be cancelled free of charge until measurement starts; after delivery there is no refund, because the work is the measurement.
The site itself sets no tracking cookies and uses no analytics. Forms on this site send your input by e-mail through FormSubmit to our mailbox; we use it only to answer you, to deliver what you ordered and to keep the required administration. We do not sell or share your data. E-mail addresses of "stop" requests are removed from our mailing list immediately and kept only as a suppression record. When the law requires a data-processing agreement or a representative, we will have one before we process that data.
Wrong about something? Say so and we correct it, with the source noted and the verification date updated. Publishing corrections is part of the product, not an exception to it.
