Terms of Service

Last updated: 2026-09-12

1. What this site is

eol.network scrapes and normalizes hardware end-of-sale, end-of-support, and end-of-life notices that vendors publish on their own sites. That is the entire scope.

This is a research and reference tool. It is not a system of record. It is not a support portal. It is not a substitute for your vendor relationship or your contracts.

2. Personal research project

eol.network is a free reference service. No data processing agreement (DPA), vendor questionnaire, service-level agreement, or commercial support is available. If your use case requires any of those, treat eol.network as one input among several rather than depending on it as a vendor of record.

3. Do not make decisions from this data alone

Before you act on anything here (procurement, refresh planning, decommission timing, contract renewal, budgeting, anything that costs money or puts production at risk) verify the dates directly with the vendor. The vendor's own lifecycle page, their support portal, or your account team are the authoritative sources. This site is not.

If you make a call based on what you read here and it turns out to be wrong, that is on you. Verify first.

4. Nothing here is legal, compliance, or insurance advice

The Resources section covers topics like PCI-DSS, HIPAA, NIST SP 800-53, and cyber-insurance underwriting as a reference. It summarizes public framework text and carrier patterns. It is not a substitute for qualified professional guidance. Route anything you plan to cite in audit defense, breach response, regulatory correspondence, or contract work through a QSA, compliance counsel, internal audit, or your broker before you rely on it.

5. No warranty

The site, API, and data, including community contributions, are provided as is and as available, without warranty. No warranty of accuracy, completeness, timeliness, availability, or fitness for any purpose. Vendors change their pages. Parsers miss rows. Products get reclassified. Dates get revised. Assume anything here can be wrong or stale, and verify accordingly.

6. No liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, eol.network and its operator are not liable for any loss, damage, cost, or consequence arising from use of, or reliance on, this site or its data. That includes direct, indirect, incidental, and consequential losses. Lost revenue, unsupported equipment running in production, missed refresh windows, contract breaches, downtime, everything.

If you are not comfortable with that allocation of risk, do not use the site.

7. Not affiliated with any vendor

This is an independent project. No affiliation, endorsement, sponsorship, or partnership with any of the vendors whose product data appears here. Vendor names, product names, and trademarks belong to their respective owners and appear only for identification.

8. Vendor sources govern

Where anything on this site conflicts with the vendor's own published lifecycle information or your contractual agreements with the vendor, the vendor's publication and your contracts govern. Always.

9. Acceptable use

Use of this site is also subject to the Acceptable Use Policy. That document covers scraping, rate limits, and redistribution.

Community suggestions

Registration and contributions are free. Suggestions are voluntary research leads, not support tickets. There is no obligation to review, respond, accept, publish, fix an issue, add coverage, or meet a deadline. Intake may be limited or paused, and suggestions may be closed without further discussion.

Submit only information you have personally checked and are entitled to share. No unverified AI-generated reports or automated batches. Suggestions remain visible to you and the maintainer during review; accepted factual corrections may be incorporated into the public data. Submitting does not make a claim verified or authoritative.

By contributing, you allow the operator to review, edit, and incorporate your submitted factual information into this free resource. Do not submit confidential information or material you do not have permission to share.

10. Changes

These terms can change without notice. If you keep using the site after a change, you accept the change.

11. Contact

Use community suggestions for specific data corrections and missing models. Other correspondence can be sent to hello@eol.network. A reply is not guaranteed.
