| Know before using | The workflow is not a contract or quality certification; local legal duties and technical review may still apply. | Partner status is not a blanket product claim; use the current official list and confirm the exact facility, material, process, or chemical-input scope. | Supplier content, uploaded certificates, and AI suggestions are leads, not independent verification. Public brand pricing and full access are not stated on the main page. Verify material identity and performance, certificate issuer and validity, supplier capability, samples, price, availability, commercial terms, data permissions, and any AI output before a sourcing decision. |

| What the source establishes | The linked tool or guide is maintained inside Stitch Authority and was checked against its current public interface. | bluesign publishes current system-partner lists and approved-input references that can support facility, material, chemical, dyeing, and finishing checks. | Material Exchange's current terms describe a business-to-business sourcing hub that connects brands and suppliers for AI-assisted material discovery, sample requests, bulk inquiries, negotiation, and collaboration. Suppliers upload product descriptions, availability, pricing, and certificates. The terms state that the platform cannot verify certificate accuracy and that AI results may be imperfect. |
