Accuracy and Verification
Submitters are responsible for the accuracy of their product information, including claims about pricing, features, availability, performance, security, certifications, funding, and customer numbers. LaunchesHQ may perform checks but does not guarantee that all claims or products have been independently verified. A verified LaunchesHQ badge confirms the relevant badge requirement only. It does not automatically certify a product’s safety, quality, legality, or business claims.9. No Voting or Guaranteed Ranking
LaunchesHQ does not use community voting or user upvotes to determine submission rankings. We may organize, display, moderate, or promote launches using platform features and operational criteria. Paid placements are governed by their purchased promotional terms. No submission is guaranteed a particular ranking, permanent visibility, or editorial endorsement.10. Moderation and Enforcement
