You are solely responsible for verifying all requirements and deadlines with your state or local authorities and/or a qualified attorney and for determining whether your records, portfolios, and forms meet those requirements. Consult official state resources or qualified professionals before relying on any in-app guidance.
Any "compliance," "state checklist," or similar status shown in the Service is provided solely as a personal record-keeping aid and does not guarantee that you are in compliance with any law or regulation. We do not guarantee that use of the Service will satisfy any regulatory, accreditation, or enrollment requirement.
