📰 Information Accuracy & Purpose
News Content:
All news articles and information displayed on GeoSphere are sourced from third-party news APIs and content providers. The news content is provided for informational purposes only and should not be relied upon as the sole source of information for making decisions. I do not verify, endorse, or guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of any news content displayed.
Trivia & Educational Content:
The trivia questions and geographical information provided through our Service are intended solely for entertainment and educational purposes. While we endeavor to present accurate information, trivia content may contain errors or outdated information. Users should not rely on trivia content for academic, professional, or critical decision-making purposes.
Geographic Data:
Geographic information, including maps, location data, and coordinates, are provided by third-party mapping services and APIs. The accuracy of geographic data may vary and should not be used for navigation, emergency services, or situations where precise location data is critical to safety or decision-making.
⚠️ Important Notice:
Users are strongly advised to independently verify any information obtained from GeoSphere before making decisions based upon such information. We recommend consulting official sources, professional advisors, or subject matter experts for critical matters.

I do not control, endorse, or assume responsibility for any third-party content, websites, products, or services. The inclusion of any third-party content does not imply my endorsement or affiliation. Users access third-party content at their own risk and should review the terms of service and privacy policies of these third-party providers.
I am not responsible for the availability, accuracy, content, or functionality of third-party services. Third-party providers may modify, suspend, or discontinue their services at any time without notice, which may affect the functionality of GeoSphere.
🌐 External Links Disclaimer
GeoSphere may contain links to external websites, news sources, and other online resources that are not owned, controlled, or maintained by me. These links are provided for convenience and informational purposes only.
I have no control over the nature, content, or availability of external sites. The inclusion of any links does not necessarily imply a recommendation or endorsement of the views, content, products, or services contained therein. I am not responsible for the content, privacy policies, terms of service, or practices of any external websites or resources.
Users acknowledge that when they click on external links and leave GeoSphere, they do so at their own risk. I shall not be held liable for any damages, losses, or issues that may arise from accessing external websites or using external services.
⚖️ No Warranties
GeoSphere is provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. To the fullest extent permissible pursuant to applicable law, I disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to:

🛡️ Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall Francis Nyantakyi, GeoSphere, or any affiliates, partners, employees, or agents be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to:
- Loss of profits, revenue, data, or use

This limitation applies whether the alleged liability is based on contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or any other basis, even if I have been advised of the possibility of such damage. Because some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, my liability in such jurisdictions shall be limited to the extent permitted by law.
You specifically acknowledge that I shall not be liable for user submissions, content, or the defamatory, offensive, or illegal conduct of any third party, and that the risk of harm or damage from the foregoing rests entirely with you.
