IAL expressly disclaims all warranties, whether express or implied, including but not limited to the uninterrupted availability of the Tool, protection against latency, or the absolute real-time accuracy of the displayed records. In the event of a discrepancy or anomalous output, the internal master records of the Certification Body shall be deemed the sole authoritative source.
