However, as a nature of a computer program, the information collection and display quality varies by Company with their official websites’ varied specifications and layouts. Therefore, the collection and display of the press-release information may possibly be erroneous or inaccurate in timeliness, extent of Company coverage, displayed contents, and whatsoever.
