Terms of Service

Acceptance

By using DarkMatterDB you agree to these Terms of Service, the Privacy policy, and the affiliate disclosure. If you do not agree, do not use the site.

What DarkMatterDB is

DarkMatterDB is an Onitsoga Labs public directory of CSA Distributed Compliance Ledger listings for Matter hardware. Certification status is labeled.

We are not the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA). We are not a certification body. We do not certify products, issue CSA IDs, or speak for CSA, Amazon, or device makers.

Sources of facts and photos

Listing identity and certification facts come from the DCL. Product photos, when present, come from manufacturer pages (or a hotlinked Amazon image URL when an offer is bound). We do not invent cert IDs, ASINs, prices, or transports. An empty field is omitted, not guessed.

Intellectual property

Matter, CSA, and related marks belong to the Connectivity Standards Alliance and its licensors. Amazon and related marks belong to Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates. Manufacturer names, logos, and product photos remain those parties’ property. We display DCL listing facts and, when present, manufacturer or hotlinked Amazon images for this directory. We do not claim those marks or photos as ours.

Some brand marks are CC0 SVG tracings from SVG Logos (gilbarbara) and Simple Icons, or public-domain SVG files from Wikimedia Commons (license read per file). Those licenses do not waive trademarks; we only use a file when its name clearly matches the DCL vendor. Wrong mark is omitted in favor of a letter.

Site copy, layout, and compilation of the directory are Onitsoga Labs. You may not copy the site as a competing directory, scrape it in a way that impairs the service, or imply CSA, Amazon, or Onitsoga Labs sponsorship.

Acceptable use

Use the site for lawful personal or editorial reference. Do not attack, overload, or probe the service; do not impersonate CSA, Amazon, a manufacturer, or Onitsoga Labs; and do not use listings to misrepresent a product as certified when the DCL row is not.

Affiliate and sponsored links

Buy links may be Amazon Associates links. Onitsoga Labs may earn a commission from qualifying purchases. Details: affiliate disclosure.

No warranty; not advice

THE SITE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.

Listings can be wrong, incomplete, or stale. DCL and Amazon data change. This catalog is not professional, legal, safety, or purchasing advice. You are responsible for checking CSA, the manufacturer, and the retailer before you buy or install anything.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Onitsoga Labs is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, or for loss of data, profits, or devices, arising from your use of the site or reliance on a listing.

Privacy in brief

No accounts. The compare tray lives in localStorage on your device. Cloudflare may log requests. Amazon may set cookies if you click through. Full text: Privacy.

Canonical site

The public site is DarkMatterDB at https://darkmatterdb.com. Canonical URLs use that origin.

Changes

We may update these terms. Continued use after a change means you accept the updated terms. The date at the top of this page is the last update.

Governing law

These terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction of Onitsoga Labs, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law. Questions go through the contact form.
