A business might go bankrupt or suddenly disappear. As a consumer, you must check the details and use our Site as only one source of information. You also need to check and affirm credentials and contracts. Check Google reviews and look for fake reviews by the business owner or others who seem aligned with the business. No business directory can guarantee any business to a consumer. That is why we place the following warning in every business profile on Safe and Trusted Canada.
Consumers and businesses must understand that Safe and Trusted Canada is a neutral site that does not recommend or endorse any business. We ask consumers to protect their interests at all times. A business might go bankrupt or suddenly disappear. Please see our Terms and Conditions of Use, as well as the Legal Disclaimers and Policies
Safe and Trusted Canada covers Canada and deals strictly with Canadian businesses and consumers.

PLEASE NOTE THAT WE PLACE THE FOLLOWING CONTENT INTO EVERY PROFILE
- Information Only Profiles are as advertised to the public on the internet.
- As a matter of policy, the Site does not recommend, accredit, suggest, promote, or validate any business. Consumers do that through reviews.
- The Site provides public links to review sites that permit us to publish those links.
- The Site provides public links to review sites for information only. Businesses with an account status have control over links to review sites.
- Subscription types give business owners different advertising options, but the Site does not suggest that credibility determines the subscription level.
- Users can use the Credentials Search’s advanced features to assess the reliability of each business.
- It is the user’s responsibility to verify the credentials advertised by the business.
- Notify the Site Admin immediately if the business is advertising credentials they do not have, or if the information is outdated.
- The company and the consumer determine transactions entirely between themselves.
- Safe and Trusted Canada does not mediate complaints, issues, or concerns.
- Seek legal advice for complex transactions.
- Protect your interests as a consumer. Business profiles can change at any time. Ownership, affiliations, and reviews may change quickly.
- Always verify information and do not rely on a single source.
