8) Data Accuracy and No Guarantee of Outcomes

We strive to keep information current and useful, and the directories may be updated periodically.
However, we do not guarantee that any Data is complete, accurate, current, or suitable for your specific purpose.
Factory listings may change without notice (for example, ownership, location, contact details, product lines, certifications, or operating status).
