D&B makes no guarantees that any of its data or information is accurate, complete, or up to date, and disclaims all warranties about the quality or fitness of its services.

Because D&B's business credit scores and data are used by lenders, suppliers, and partners to make consequential decisions about businesses, a blanket disclaimer of data accuracy has practical significance for businesses whose D&B profile may contain errors.
Interpretive note: Whether this disclaimer is legally effective depends on whether the specific D&B product constitutes a consumer report under FCRA or falls within state credit reporting statutes; applicable law may impose accuracy obligations that override contractual disclaimers.
D&B explicitly states it does not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of its business data, which means businesses or individuals harmed by inaccurate D&B data have limited contractual recourse through these website terms; separate statutory rights, such as those under the Fair Credit Reporting Act if applicable, may provide additional remedies.
