## Accuracy and what each one promises

Every verifier says it is accurate. What matters is what you get back when it is not.

email-validation.org

99.2%guaranteed on bulk lists

- We guarantee that at least 99.2% of the valid and invalid results of every bulk list are right, or we refund the difference.
- Refund = 99.2% minus the measured accuracy, as a share of what the list cost. A list at 70% gets 29.2% back, paid to the original payment method.
- Claim within 15 days with your bounce evidence. A person decides every claim.
- Not covered, among others: catch-all, disposable and unknown results (unknowns are never charged) and single checks. The guarantee page lists every condition.

—not on record

- We have no accuracy figure or refund promise of theirs on record. Check their site for what they promise.

[NeverBounce's site](https://www.neverbounce.com/pricing)

We have not tested NeverBounce's accuracy, and ours has not been independently tested either. Our accuracy guarantee refunds the difference when a bulk list's valid and invalid results are less than 99.2% right.
