2. Purpose and acceptance

3. Terms of use

You agree to use the website lawfully and not to:

  • Use it for unlawful purposes or in ways that may harm the owner or third parties.

  • Send third-party data or images through the forms without legitimate grounds, or send false information.
  • Query the verifier in bulk or by automated means.

4. Scope of the certificates and the content

VS Certificates record the examiner's technical opinion on the item examined, with the scope and limitations stated in each certificate. They are not valuations or official documents, and they do not replace an expert report in court proceedings.

The digital-only certificate is based on photographs supplied by the client and has a limited scope: it does not allow stroke pressure, ink or paper to be examined. Its conclusion refers exclusively to the images examined.

The verifier shows whether a number appears in the register of issued certificates. The validity of a certificate refers only to the item described in it. The quick check and the articles are for guidance and information only.

The texts, designs, the "Verum Signature" brand and seal, the design of the certificates, the code and other content belong to Juan García Nicolás or are used with permission. Their reproduction, distribution or transformation without written authorisation is prohibited, except for brief quotations with acknowledgement of the source. Reproducing or imitating a VS Certificate may constitute the criminal offence of forgery.
