Terms of Use

Last updated: 16 August 2026.

Welcome to TOY R&D. By accessing or using toyrd.com, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

1. Purpose of this site

TOY R&D is a knowledge and engineering-notes project. The site publishes field observations, supplier information, tooling notes, compliance references, and engineering decisions relevant to toy and juvenile product development in South China and the broader manufacturing ecosystem.

2. Not professional advice

All content on TOY R&D is provided for general informational purposes only. Nothing on this site constitutes legal, regulatory, certification, financial, or professional advice. Compliance-related content — including references to EN 71, IEC 62115, ASTM F963, CPSIA, FCC, RED, and battery regulations — must be independently verified against the current standard version and the specific product under consideration. Final compliance, certification, and market-access decisions must be made by accredited laboratories, certification bodies, and qualified professionals.

3. No sourcing service

TOY R&D is not a sourcing agent, trading company, freight forwarder, or contract manufacturer. We do not intermediate transactions, take commissions on supplier introductions, or operate as a paid sourcing service. Any supplier information published on this site is independently gathered and shared as reference material only.

4. Use of content

  • Articles, guides, and tools on TOY R&D may be read and shared in their original form, with attribution and a link back to the source page.
  • Translated republication requires explicit permission.
  • Commercial reuse (training datasets, paid courses, AI fine-tuning, scrapers that republish content) is not permitted without prior written consent.

5. Supplier information

Supplier capability information, pricing benchmarks, and tooling ranges published on this site are independently gathered or supplied by the supplier under explicit permission. They are indicative, not contractual. Anyone using this information should re-verify with the supplier directly for their own project.

6. Confidentiality

TOY R&D maintains strict separation between the author’s professional work, employer, clients, and this site. No content on this site should be used to infer, reconstruct, or identify the author’s current employer, active clients, suppliers, or internal project details.

7. Third-party links

The site may link to external resources. We do not endorse, control, or guarantee the content, accuracy, or availability of those resources.

8. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, TOY R&D and its author disclaim any liability for losses, damages, or claims arising from the use of, or reliance on, content published on this site.

9. Changes

These Terms of Use may be updated as the site evolves. Material changes will be reflected by updating the “Last updated” date at the top of this page.
