Reliance on Information Posted

The information presented on or through the Website is made available solely for general information purposes. Nothing on this site is intended to be financial, legal, or medical advice. Please consult with a licensed professional in their field of expertise in your jurisdiction. We do not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of this information. Any reliance you place on such information is strictly at your own risk. We disclaim all liability and responsibility arising from any reliance placed on such materials by you or any other visitor to the Website, or by anyone who may be informed of any of its contents.

,While we make every effort to ensure that we accurately represent all the products and services reviewed, or linked to, from this website and their potential for income, it should be noted that earnings and income statements made by us or any other distributors, are estimates only of what we think you can possibly earn. There is no guarantee that you will make these levels of income and you accept the risk that the earnings and income statements differ by individual.

As with any business, your results may vary and will be based on your individual capacity, business experience, expertise, and level of desire. There are no guarantees concerning the level of success you may experience. The testimonials and examples used may be exceptional results, which do not apply to the average purchaser, and are not intended to represent or guarantee that anyone will achieve the same or similar results. Each individual’s success depends on his or her background, dedication, desire, and motivation.

 

Due to the variables associated with defining success, and because those variables are so personalized, it is impossible to accurately state what an individual may or may not achieve. Success is determined on an individual basis and is dependent on a variety of factors including willingness to take action and implement ideas based on what is taught, prevailing market conditions, target market selection, and the amount of hard work and effort an individual expends. The customers depicted in any testimonials have declared that the information shared is true and accurate of their experience. The written, audio, and visual presentations offered may have been edited from their original versions. Some personal and private information has been removed in order to protect privacy.

 

There is no assurance that examples of past earnings can be duplicated in the future. We cannot guarantee your future results and/or success. There are some unknown risks in business and on the internet that we cannot foresee which could reduce the results you experience. We are not responsible for your actions. The use of our information, products, and services should be based on your own due diligence and you agree that neither we, nor any advertisers/sponsors of this website is liable for any success or failure of your business that is directly or indirectly related to the purchase of products or services, or the use of our website, information, products, or services reviewed or advertised on this website or provided to you by Soundsquares Ltd
