Unless you request a review and validation, the document generated is to be considered as simple information. Consequently, you are solely responsible for your interpretation of information provided, for any suggestions or advice that you may consider, and for any adaptation you may make for your own commercial activity. The use and exploitation of the tool is therefore under your sole responsibility and at your own risk.
