10. Disclaimers

• General Disclaimer: The information on our Websites is published in good faith and for general informational purposes only. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we exclude all representations, warranties, and conditions relating to our Websites and their use. We do not warrant the completeness, reliability, or accuracy of this information. We do not guarantee that the Websites will remain available or that the Content is kept up-to-date. Any action you take based upon the information found on our Websites is strictly at your own risk. The Company will not be liable for any losses or damages in connection with the use of our Websites, products, or services. As long as the Websites and the information/services are provided free of charge (excluding specific paid products/services), we will not be liable for any loss or damage of any nature.
• External Links: Our Websites may contain links to external sites. While we strive to provide quality links to useful and ethical websites, we have no control over the content and nature of these external sites. The inclusion of any links does not necessarily imply a recommendation or endorse the views expressed within them. Site owners and content may change without notice, potentially before we can remove a problematic link. Be aware that external sites have their own privacy policies and terms, which are beyond our control. Please review these before engaging in business or uploading information.
• Affiliate Disclaimer: Tim Ikels engages in affiliate marketing, which means he may endorse products or services and receive compensation (financial or otherwise) if you purchase through affiliate links provided on the Websites, social media, or email communications. This compensation may influence the content or recommendations shared. Tim Ikels endeavors to select affiliate partners whose products/services align with his values and are believed to be of high quality and relevance. However, endorsements are based on belief, not guarantee. You are responsible for conducting your own due diligence before making any purchase based on affiliate recommendations. Any compensation received comes from the product/service provider, not the User; you do not pay extra. All claims, warranties, or disputes related to products/services purchased through affiliate links must be directed to the respective company. Tim Ikels assumes no liability for products/services acquired via affiliate links or for the actions/policies of third-party vendors. Accessing affiliate links and making purchases is at your own discretion and risk.
• Earnings Disclaimer: Any statements regarding income, earnings, results, or success presented on the Websites or other Company platforms are illustrative examples or estimates only; they are NOT guarantees. Business success involves significant risk and depends on individual capacity, experience, expertise, dedication, motivation, and market factors beyond our control. Testimonials and examples represent exceptional results and do not reflect the average experience. There is no assurance that past earnings examples can be duplicated. We cannot guarantee your future results or success. Business and internet ventures involve unknown risks that could impact outcomes. You are solely responsible for your actions and decisions. Implementing strategies discussed requires requisite knowledge and effort. This is a legitimate business venture with inherent risks; it is NOT a “get rich quick” scheme. Prudent judgment is required. If you are seeking guaranteed results with no effort or risk, our offerings are not suitable for you.
