Whilst the Company will test the Client's Web site on the most popular browsers in use as well as on different platforms and will take all the necessary steps to ensure that it functions correctly for the maximum number of visitors and looks the same in as many browsers as possible, it can give no absolute guarantees that the Site will function correctly and look exactly the same in all browsers, especially older browsers which are out of date.
