Do displayed institutional names or credentials create a whole-product endorsement impression beyond the actual document scope?
A name on the page identifies who did a piece of work, and it is not an endorsement of the company or of a product.
The Terms of Use state: “A citation, quotation, name, logo, link, or third-party test does not by itself mean that the third party sponsors, endorses, certifies, or approves C-POLAR, a C-POLAR product, a Site claim, or a proposed use.” The Terms of Use also state that the Site may quote, summarize, name, or link to research, publications, people, institutions, products, and websites that C-POLAR does not control, and that this does not mean that C-POLAR endorses every statement in the third-party source.
The Validation page names the institutions that tested the pathogens, and it names the air-filter and safety records by institution and number; an institution's name is not itself a result. The Terms of Use state: “A reported result describes only what the identified test found.”
