6. Data Accuracy and Disclaimer of Warranties

NAICS code assignments are based on evidence-based analysis using Veridion's AI-powered classification engine and may not reflect official government classifications assigned by the U.S. Census Bureau, IRS, or other agencies. Users should independently verify NAICS codes for official filings, government contracts, insurance applications, or regulatory compliance.
We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free, nor do we warrant that any data provided will be accurate or reliable.
7. Intellectual Property
NAICS codes and their titles are maintained by the U.S. Census Bureau and are in the public domain. However, the following elements are proprietary to Veridion and protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws:
- Enriched data, analysis, confidence scores, and classification algorithms
- Company profiles and business intelligence data
- Crosswalk mappings and conversion methodologies beyond public Census Bureau concordance tables
- Website design, layout, user interface, and original content (guides, FAQs, descriptions)
