5. No Guarantees; No Reliance
The Company makes no representations or warranties that any letter, certificate, registration, or product will be accepted, honored, or recognized by airlines, housing providers, employers, or other third parties. Acceptance decisions are made solely by such third parties and may change without notice. You are solely responsible for verifying applicability and compliance with local laws and regulations.
