For the purposes of these Terms, the term "Company" refers to the Company itself as well as its partners, employees, subcontractors, advisors, and all related entities.
2. INFORMATION.
The quality of the Company's services will depend on full and timely instructions from the Client. The Company will rely on the accuracy and completeness of the information the Client provides them. The Company will not independently verify the information unless requested to do so as a term of this engagement.
The Company shall be entitled to rely upon the accuracy of all information provided by the Client or by others on their behalf without independently verifying it.
The Client shall retain responsibility for the use of, or reliance on, advice or recommendations supplied by the Company in the delivery of the services.

3. DELAYS.
The Client will not hold the Company responsible for any failure or delay in connection with their engagement caused by anything outside of the Company's control.

The Company would require the Client to provide them with reasonable access to these resources without charge.
The fees for services under this Agreement are based on estimates made in good faith, using the information available at the time. The final fees and costs may differ from the estimate. For example, the scope or nature of the appointment may change, or unforeseen circumstances may arise.
