Corrections Log

Our Corrections Policy

We aim to investigate reported factual errors within 2 business days and correct confirmed material errors within 3 business days. Complex issues may need more verification.

When we make a material correction, we note it on the affected page and record it in this log.

A log entry may include:

• Date of correction
• Page or article affected
• Nature of the original error
• What we changed
• Reason for the correction
• Source used to verify the new information
• Whether the correction affected a score, ranking, recommendation or conclusion

What We Consider a Material Correction

Material corrections may involve errors in:

• POS pricing
• Subscription fees
• Transaction or payment-processing fees
• Contract terms
• Hardware pricing
• Product availability
• Supported countries
• Supported payment methods
• Integrations
• Product functionality
• Tax or compliance information
• Trial periods
• Cancellation terms
• Company ownership
• Product discontinuation
• Review scores
• Rankings
• Recommendations
• Security or privacy-related information
• Claims that could influence a purchasing decision

If a correction changes our overall assessment of a product, we update the review score, ranking, recommendation or conclusion to match.

Changes We Don't Log

We may fix these without a log entry:

Routine updates that keep pricing, features or availability current count as content maintenance, not corrections, when the earlier information was accurate at publication.

Example of How Corrections Will Be Recorded

Future entries will follow this format:

If a correction changes the review, the entry will say so. For example:

Updates vs. Corrections

Not every change to an article fixes an error. Vendors change POS products often, including:

• Prices
• Features
• Hardware
• Payment rates
• Integrations
• Plans
• Contracts
• Supported countries
• Policies

Vendor-Requested Corrections

POS providers, payment companies, software vendors and other organizations can contact us if they believe our information about their products is wrong. We welcome factual corrections backed by reliable evidence.

Vendors can't require us to:

We judge vendor requests by the same fact-checking standards we apply to reader reports.

Corrections Involving Affiliate or Commercial Partners

Commercial relationships don't affect our corrections process. If an advertiser, affiliate partner, sponsor or referral partner reports a factual error, we review the claim and correct the content if the evidence supports it. We also make corrections that are unfavorable to an advertiser or partner.

Our Review Process

When someone reports a possible error, we may:

1. 1
   Review the original source used for the article.
2. 2
   Check the vendor's current official website and documentation.
3. 3
   Review product pricing, terms or help documentation.
4. 4
   Contact the company for clarification where needed.
5. 5
   Review archived or dated material when timing matters.
6. 6
   Compare the claim with reliable independent or regulatory sources.
7. 7
   Correct the article if the evidence confirms an error.
8. 8
   Update the review score or recommendation if the correction changes our assessment.

We base corrections on evidence alone.

Correction Notices on Individual Pages

When we make a material correction, the affected page will carry a notice like this:

Older correction notices may stay visible so readers can see how the content changed over time.

Last Updated Dates

Many reviews, comparisons, guides and product pages on CloudBasedPOSSystem.com show a Last Updated or Last Reviewed date. That date shows we reviewed or changed the content. It doesn't mean we made a correction. We record material corrections on the affected page and in this log.
