Disclaimer

Carbonshelf makes efforts to try to assure the accuracy of the information it presents in the portions of the content it authors on the Website. Carbonself cautions, however, that because of the volume, complexity of the material, the ever-changing laws and regulations and court decisions, and significant state by state (and sometimes community to community) differences, and because Carbonself communicates information provided and created by advertisers, consumers, software developers, publishers, marketing agents, resellers, and other third parties, Carbonself may have little or no control over the accuracy of such information. Regardless of any control, Carbonshelf makes no guarantee or representation as to such information, and is not responsible for the information, including its accuracy, currency, content, quality, copyright compliance or legality, or for any resulting loss or damage.
