We have made efforts to accurately display the attributes of Products, including the applicable colors.  However, as the actual colors you see will depend on your monitor, we cannot guarantee that your monitor’s display of any color will accurately reflect actual product color or finish.  In addition, certain weights, measures, and similar descriptions are approximate and are for convenience only.

Public Choice Design is not responsible for, and cannot guarantee the performance of, goods and services provided by third parties, including any Public Choice Design Entity our advertisers, or other third parties to whose sites we link.  While our goal is to provide accurate information, product packaging and material may contain more and/or different information than that provided on Public Choice Design Sites, including the product description, country of origin, nutrition, ingredient, allergen, and other information.  Always read labels, warnings, directions, and other information provided with the product before using or consuming the product.  For additional information about a product, please contact the manufacturer.  Information and statements regarding dietary supplements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or health condition.  If you find a product is not as described, your sole remedy is to return it in unused condition (excluding products that are not eligible for return), in accordance with Public Choice Design’s return policy.  It is your responsibility to ascertain and obey all applicable local, state, federal, and foreign laws (including minimum age requirements) regarding the purchase, possession, and use of any Product.
