RP, its affiliates, as well as any other party involved in creating, producing, or delivering the Site specifically disclaim any liability or responsibility for any errors or omissions in the content of the Site, or any of the forms, documents or Agreements contained on the Site.

RP personnel, and our guest contributors, have exercised their best professional efforts to provide accurate and helpful responses, at no charge. HOWEVER, the nature of this resource is such that the answers are generally brief and simplified, and do not deal with all possible contingencies.

In fact, we encourage you to seek other sources of advice and information before taking significant risks.
