6. Disclaimer of Warranties
This website is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

8. Post-Quantum Cryptography Notice
Our products and infrastructure use NIST-standardised post-quantum algorithms (ML-KEM, ML-DSA, SLH-DSA).
