Whilst Method123 believes that the Licensed Products are effective for the purpose specified in the marketing material, Method123 gives no warranty regarding the outcomes and outputs resulting from your use of the Licensed Products as these outcomes are heavily dependent on the way in which you elect to use the Licensed Products.
