YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY AND ALL ACTS OR OMISSIONS TAKEN IN RELIANCE ON THE SITES OR ANY INFORMATION THEREIN, INCLUDING INACCURATE OR INCOMPLETE INFORMATION. ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES THAT CANNOT BE DISCLAIMED ARE LIMITED TO THE SHORTEST PERIOD PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY, AND OTHER LEGAL RIGHTS MAY BE GRANTED IN SUCH JURISDICTIONS. PLEASE NOTE THAT NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION OBTAINED BY YOU THROUGH THE SITES SHALL CREATE ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT.

Product & Service Disclaimer. THE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES, AND THE INFORMATION AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SITES, MAY NOT BE USED AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR PROFESSIONAL ADVICE. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THESE TERMS, ALL PRODUCTS AND SERVICES USED OR OTHERWISE OBTAINED FROM POSCON ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” WITH NO WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
