Disclaimers of Liability for Websites

The Clearinghouse attempts to ensure that the documents and websites to which it refers are accurate and up-to-date. Persons intending to act on any information contained in documents or posted on this website should first check with the authors to ascertain whether any later information is available with respect to the relevant material.

The Clearinghouse is not responsible for any content found on a third party's website. We have made efforts to inform visitors to our website when they are linking from our website to one managed by another entity.

The information to which we link may be subject to copyright and other intellectual property rights. We may have acquired special permission and license to post some of this material in full-text format. This permission and license cannot transfer any copyright or other intellectual property rights to you.

The inclusion of any resource or link on these pages does not necessarily imply endorsement. Information changes rapidly, so please check with each sponsoring organization or agency as to whether the information you are receiving on their website is current.

Issue of Deep Linking

The Clearinghouse does not circumvent anti-linking measures put in place by other websites. We avoid deep linking, or bypassing the home page of a website, when it is commercially unfair (e.g., gets users around site registrations or avoids banner ads carried on a home page).
