Free Source Library explains general information for a broad audience. It does not know your personal circumstances and cannot replace a qualified professional, an official source, or emergency services.

General information

Articles are provided for education and reference. Even careful material can become incomplete, outdated, or unsuitable for a particular situation. Verify information that matters to a consequential decision, especially when rules, prices, products, scientific guidance, or public conditions can change.

Health and medical information

Health content is not diagnosis, treatment, or a substitute for care from a licensed professional who can assess an individual. Do not delay or stop treatment because of an article. If you believe someone may be in immediate danger, contact the appropriate local emergency service.

Legal, financial, and safety information

Legal rules vary by jurisdiction and time. Financial decisions involve individual objectives and risk. Safety guidance can depend on equipment, environment, training, and local regulation. Articles in these areas are general explanations, not representation, investment advice, engineering approval, or a guarantee of safety.

Dates, forecasts, and live data

Weather, clocks, calendars, observances, historical feeds, prices, schedules, officeholders, software, and other changing data can be delayed, approximate, unavailable, or wrong. Live utilities are conveniences, not emergency or navigation instruments. Check the authoritative service before acting.

External links and third-party content

Links can help readers inspect evidence or learn more, but external pages are controlled by their operators. A link does not guarantee accuracy, permanence, security, accessibility, or endorsement. Third-party services may have separate terms, privacy practices, and advertising.

Reader responsibility

You are responsible for evaluating whether information is appropriate for your context. Where the cost of being wrong is high, pause and consult the relevant professional or official authority. If a page appears materially wrong, use Report an Issue so it can be reviewed.

Our responsibility

A disclaimer is not permission to publish carelessly. The publication remains committed to reasonable sourcing, clear limits, corrections, and removing content that cannot be repaired responsibly.
