01 — WHAT YOU ARE BUYING

An alerting service, not advice.

BOM Sentry reads manufacturer change notices you forward to us, matches the affected part numbers against bills of materials you have given us, and emails you when one of your parts appears. Every alert links the manufacturer's original document.

We report. We do not advise. Deciding what to do about a discontinued part — last-time-buy, redesign, alternate qualification — is engineering and procurement judgement that is yours to make.

02 — WHAT IT CANNOT DO

Read this before you rely on it.

UNANNOUNCED EOLs

Roughly half of all discontinuations are never announced. Of 621,909 parts that went end-of-life in 2025, 52% carried no manufacturer notice at all (Z2Data, March 2026). No service can alert you to a notice that was never issued.

ONLY WHAT REACHES US

We see the notices you forward. If a manufacturer never emails you, if a rule stops working, or if mail does not arrive, we cannot alert you.

EXTRACTION IS IMPERFECT

We parse notices automatically. We may miss a part or flag one that turns out not to affect you. Always confirm against the manufacturer's original notice, which we link in every alert, and with your authorised distributor before committing to a purchase or a redesign.

03 — YOUR SIDE

Two things we ask.

Forward only what you are entitled to forward. Some manufacturers treat notices sent to account holders as confidential. You are responsible for your agreements with your suppliers; we cannot assess them for you.

Do not resell the alerts. Your subscription covers your own products and your own team. It is not a licence to operate a monitoring service for others.

04 — MONEY

Monthly, cancel any time.

Subscriptions bill monthly in advance through Stripe and continue until you cancel. Cancel whenever you like and you keep access to the end of the period you have paid for. We do not lock you into an annual term to get the monthly price.

If the service has not worked for you, email us and we will refund you. We would rather return the money than argue about it.

05 — WARRANTY AND LIABILITY

The necessary part, in plain words.

The service is provided as-is. We do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that it will catch every change affecting your parts — §02 explains exactly why it will not.

Our total liability to you is limited to the fees you paid us in the twelve months before the claim. We are not liable for production stoppages, redesign costs, lost profits, or other indirect or consequential losses arising from a missed or incorrect alert. Given that a single board respin can cost many multiples of what this service costs, treat BOM Sentry as one input among several — not as your only line of defence.

Nothing here excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

06 — GENERAL

Housekeeping.

We may change these terms; if a change materially affects you we will email you rather than rely on you rereading this page. We may suspend or end an account that abuses the service. These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, USA.
