out of 100. Number 435 of 512, counting from the worst.
Where DuPont does well
- Arbitration 0 of 20. Nothing found.
- Renewals 0 of 20. Nothing found.
- No forced arbitration and no class-action waiver: the Terms say disputes are governed by Delaware law and you submit to the Delaware courts — unusually fair versus consumer-tech terms that strip jury rights.
- Explicit promise: 'We do not sell consumer personal information to third parties.'
- Children's privacy: the site is not targeted at children under 16 and they do not knowingly collect children's data to sell products or services.
- GDPR/CCPA rights are expressly preserved ('Nothing in these Terms limits any rights granted to individuals under applicable data protection laws'), and the policy names regional privacy officers with direct emails for Brazil, Canada, and Germany — more accountability than most corporate policies.
- No auto-renew or cancellation traps exist because DuPont doesn't run consumer subscriptions or paid accounts.
DuPont can change its rules whenever it wants, and just by continuing to use the site you automatically accept the new rules — no click, no signature needed.
The fine print
6 clauses and findings from the draft archive, dated 1 October 2026. The plain English comes first; the small print is the company's own words. None of these has been checked yet.

DuPont can change its rules whenever it wants, and just by continuing to use the site you automatically accept the new rules — no click, no signature needed. The privacy policy version even says changes take effect the moment they're posted.
DuPont may revise these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be effective after reasonable notice where required by applicable law. Continued use of the Site after such changes constitutes acceptance. ... Any changes to this Privacy Statement will become effective when we post the revised Privacy Statement on the Site or App. Your use of the Site or App following these changes means that you accept the revised Privacy Statement
-
Prices on the site can change at any time with no notice, and DuPont can cancel your order even after your card has been charged (you'd only get a refund). The pricing you see isn't a commitment.
Furthermore, the prices and availability of products on this Site may change without notice to you at any time at DuPont's sole discretion. DuPont shall have the right to refuse or cancel any orders placed for products listed with incorrect prices... whether or not the order has been confirmed and your credit card charged. If your credit card has already been charged for the purchase and your order is canceled, DuPont shall promptly issue a credit to your credit card account in the amount of the charge.
-
If you send DuPont an invention, product idea, or marketing concept, they owe you nothing: no confidentiality, no review, no response, and they alone decide if they ever pay you. Your ideas become usable by them for free.
...unless DuPont enters a separate written agreement covering a submission, any submission to DuPont or its affiliates, including ideas for new products or technologies, improvements or enhancements to existing products or technologies, processes, materials, marketing or promotional plans, or new product names, shall be made under the following terms and conditions: DuPont shall be under no obligation to keep the submission secret or receive it on a confidential basis; ... DuPont shall be the sole judge as to what payment, if any, is made for the submission
-
If anyone sues DuPont over something you did on their site, you pay DuPont's legal bills too. The indemnity is entirely one-way: DuPont disclaims essentially all liability for itself while you cover theirs.
As such, you shall defend, indemnify and hold DuPont and its officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents, licensors, and business partners harmless from and against any and all losses, costs, damages, liabilities, and expenses, including (without limitation) attorney's fees and costs of defense, incurred in relation to, arising from, or for the purpose of avoiding, any claim or demand from a third party that your use of the site ... violates any applicable law or regulation, or the rights of any third party.
-
Your personal info flows to affiliates, service providers, and onward to resellers, distributors, contest sponsors, and third-party credit providers — including for marketing. That's a wide distribution network for a B2B site.
Your Personal Information may be disclosed: Within the DuPont Group of Companies... To DuPont's third party service providers... To third parties such as agents, retailers and distributers to facilitate the sale and distribution of DuPont products and services, which may include marketing communications consistent with your choices. To third party sponsors of sweepstakes, contests and similar promotions. To a third party that may offer you credit to purchase products or services offered by DuPont.

How these were found
Terms of Use page shows no 'Last Updated' date on the page itself (search-engine crawl copies list date as UNKNOWN). Privacy Statement is marked 'LAST UPDATED: December 1, 2025'. Both documents were read directly from dupont.com on Oct 1, 2026 (no mirrors used; no access limitations encountered). DuPont is a B2B science/chemical company with no consumer subscriptions or paid accounts, so the auto-renew and arbitration categories naturally score near zero — this is a property of the business model, not of goodwill. I did not review a separate CCPA/CPRA disclosure page, the Cookie Policy, or supplier/employee notices; scores reflect only the public website Terms of Use and Privacy Statement.
