Consequently, you agree that any reliance you place on Blog Content shall be based on your own assessment of the Blog Content as valid and such assessment shall be your sole responsibility. Stinson Analytical therefore disclaims all liability and responsibility arising from any reliance placed on Blog Content by you or by anyone who you may have informed of any Stinson Analytical Blog Content.
