“I understand that the dataset I am purchasing is provided for lawful business, professional, research or related purposes. I am responsible for verifying the suitability, accuracy, legality and permitted use of the data for my intended purpose.

Important: This wording is safer than attempting to declare that K. Vivekananda Babu can never be sued. A private website policy cannot eliminate a person's statutory or judicial rights.
