Verification policy
What the Verified badge means (and does not mean), how vendors earn it, and when it is revoked.
Version 1 — June 2026
What the badge means
A Verified badge means DealNest has confirmed the vendor is a real, identifiable business: we have checked identity or business registration details and confirmed the storefront is operated by the business it claims to be.
What the badge does not mean
Verification is not an endorsement. It does not mean DealNest has inspected the vendor's work, guarantees their quality or delivery, or assumes liability for their conduct. A verified vendor can still perform badly — that is what deal-backed reviews are for.
How vendors get verified
Vendors request verification from their Workspace store settings and provide business identity information (legal name, registration or tax details, and a way to confirm the person applying controls the business). We review submissions manually in v1. There is no fee for verification and it cannot be bought.
Keeping it current
If your business changes hands, changes legal identity, or materially changes what it does, your verification must be re-confirmed. We may periodically re-check verified vendors.
Revocation
We revoke the badge when verification details turn out to be false, the business is no longer operating as verified, or the vendor commits serious policy violations (fraud, fake reviews, prohibited items). Misrepresenting verified status is itself a violation of the Vendor policy.
