Literal match logic. This SDN Search application uses literal character matching logic to identify exact matches between word or character “strings” exactly as entered into SDN Search, and any name or other information exactly as it appears on the SDN list.
Does not detect misspellings. SDN Search will not detect misspellings or other incorrectly entered text, and will not return near matches to, or other variations of, the entered text.
Users own risk. Use of this system implies understanding that searches performed by SDN Search are conducted at the user’s own risk, and that the search results provided by SDN Search do not represent an official confirmation by the Office of Foreign Assets Control or the Department of the Treasury of the existence or absence of a match between any information entered by the user and any information contained on the SDN List.
Use does not mitigate liability. The use of SDN Search does not limit or excuse any liability for any act undertaken as a result of, or in reliance on, such use.
SDN Search is available at the following address: http://sdnsearch.ofac.treas.gov/.
