other matters you ask us to undertake. We will undertake to prepare such
documents as may be required to affect the foregoing.
2. There can be no assurances, and we make no guarantees, representations
or warranties as to the particular results from our services and the response
and timeliness of action by any governmental official or department.
3. You understand that the accuracy and completeness of any document
prepared by us is dependent upon your alertness to assure that it contains all
material facts which might be important and that such documents must not contain
any misrepresentation of a material fact nor omit information necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading. To that end, you agree to review, and
