While we make reasonable efforts to ensure the accuracy and currency of information on this website, we make no representations, warranties, or guarantees about the accuracy, completeness, reliability, suitability, or availability of the information, products, services, or related graphics contained on the website.

Business registration systems, procedures, fees, and requirements change over time. Information that was accurate when published may become outdated. National registries may modify their systems, interfaces, and procedures without notice to us. We cannot guarantee that our content reflects the most current state of any official system.

No guarantees about official sources

We provide links to official business registries and government portals for convenience and reference. However, we make no guarantees about the accuracy, completeness, or availability of information in those official sources. Official registries are maintained by their respective authorities, not by us.

Registry information is only as accurate as what companies have filed and registries have recorded. There may be delays between events and their reflection in registry records. Companies may have failed to file required updates. Records may contain errors introduced at any stage of the process.

We cannot verify the information contained in any registry or take responsibility for errors in official records. When you access official registries through our links, you are subject to those registries' own terms, conditions, and limitations.

Frequently asked questions

Is this an official EU website?

No. Registry Lookup is completely independent and has no connection to any European Union institution or national government. We are a private educational publication that provides information about public systems. Official EU websites use the europa.eu domain.

Can I rely on information here for business decisions?

Our content is for general educational purposes only. Before making business decisions, you should verify information with official sources and consult qualified professionals who can consider your specific circumstances. We provide a starting point for research, not definitive guidance for specific situations.

Are you responsible for errors in official registries?

No. We do not maintain any business registries and have no control over the information they contain. Registry authorities are responsible for their own databases. We merely explain how to access those systems. Errors in official records should be addressed with the relevant registry authority.

Can I copy content from this website?

You may view and print content for personal, non-commercial use. Reproducing content for commercial purposes or republication requires our permission. Contact us if you wish to use our content beyond personal reference.

What if a link to an official registry stops working?

External websites may change their URLs or become unavailable. We make reasonable efforts to maintain working links but cannot guarantee permanent availability of third-party resources. If you encounter broken links, official registries can typically be found through their national government portals.

Do these terms apply to external websites you link to?

No. Our terms apply only to the Registry Lookup website. When you follow links to official registries or other external sites, those sites' own terms and conditions apply. We recommend reviewing the terms of any external site before using it.

How do I report incorrect information?

If you believe any information on our website is incorrect or outdated, please contact us through the channels described on our About page. We review reported issues and update content where appropriate. However, for errors in official registry records, you should contact the relevant registry authority directly.

What law governs disputes about this website?

Disputes are subject to the governing law and jurisdiction provisions in these terms. The specific applicable law depends on the circumstances of the dispute and the parties involved. For significant legal matters, you should seek advice from a qualified lawyer in your jurisdiction.
