Disclaimer of Endorsement
From time-to-time, companies approach your association with proposals to offer purchase programs for products or services that may be beneficial to members. These companies are not affiliated with the association, but are independent providers of products and services. While the association has attempted to verify the fundamental claims of the providers, the association has not independently investigated the providers of their products and services, and does not endorse or administer any product of service offered by any such provider. Your decision whether or not to purchase such products or services should be based on your own determination of the value of the products of services.
