BuyerZone may not always be able to match your RFQ(s) with suppliers. While we seek to enlist only the highest quality suppliers, we do not guarantee the quality or the credentials of the suppliers who receive and respond to your RFQ. As BuyerZone is a conduit for matching buyers with suppliers, we are not responsible for any transaction that may occur between you and/or your company and a BuyerZone participating supplier. BuyerZone does not guarantee the quality, safety or legality of the information provided or the products and services sold. You should exercise as much caution as you would typically exercise with any purchase of products or services.

Should you have a dispute with any supplier, you must address such dispute with the supplier directly.
