PFG makes every reasonable attempt to ensure the quality of these supply sources and the products they offer. As these products are dynamic and versatile, PFG shall not be responsible for how products are used, stored or prepared and the product's conformance to local or regional codes or regulations. Please review the product labels, directions warnings, and relevant code, regulations or ordinances, to be certain that the product, its storage, preparation and use will satisfy these requirements. In no event will PFG be responsible for any loss or damage arising out of Purchaser's improper selection, improper storage, inadequate preparation or misuse of a product.
