Terms, Assumptions and Limiting Conditions
Because Competitive Analytics’ analyses will be based on estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to uncertainty and variation depending on evolving events, we will not represent them as results that will be achieved. Some assumptions inevitably will not materialize, and unanticipated events and circumstances may occur; therefore, the actual results achieved may vary materially from the estimated and from the forecasted results. Competitive Analytics has no responsibility to update any report or other deliverable for events and circumstances occurring after the final submittal of such report or deliverable.
The following standard conditions apply to engagements performed by Competitive Analytics: Reports and other deliverables may contain estimates of future sales activity (e.g., absorption rates, sales value, rents, demand, supply, etc.) or other events that represent the Competitive Analytics’ mathematical analysis and/or view of reasonable expectations at a particular point in time, but such activities or events are not offered as predictions that will be realized or as assurances that forecasts will be achieved, that events will occur, or that indicated sales will occur. Actual results achieved during the period covered by our analyses could vary from those described in our report, and the variations may be material.
