An accuracy representation needs reliable supporting evidence relevant to the advertised use, not merely vendor language or disclaimers.

- Use the vendor’s percentage because the supplier owns the model.Supplier ownership does not transfer responsibility for substantiating the manufacturer’s own accuracy representation.
- Substantiate accuracy claims with reliable evidence. ✓US consumer-protection principles require support for capability and accuracy claims; a vendor brochure alone may not substantiate this representation.
- Add a disclaimer stating that results may vary by facility.A disclaimer may not cure an unsupported headline accuracy claim when the underlying evidence does not substantiate the representation.
- Describe the system as AI and identify the vendor.AI labeling and vendor identification do not provide evidence supporting the advertised accuracy under the manufacturer’s conditions.
The trap
For precise performance claims, examine evidence supporting the advertised context rather than accepting vendor assertions. How to remember it
