General Disclaimer

Alliance Horlogère Makes No Claim on the Validity and Reliability of Content on This Site

Alliance Horlogère is an online open-content collaborative reference on the subject of horology, that is, a voluntary association of individuals and groups working to develop a common resource to perpetuate and promote the knowledge and passion of horology to current and forthcoming generations. The structure of the project allows anyone with an Internet connection to alter the content of this site. Please be advised that nothing found here has necessarily been reviewed by people with the expertise required to provide you with complete, accurate or reliable information.

That is not to say that you will not find valuable and accurate information on Alliance Horlogère, as with Wikipedia, much of the time we are confident that you will. However, the staff and founding members of Alliance Horlogère cannot guarantee the validity of the information found here. The content of any given article may recently have been changed, vandalized or altered by someone whose technical background or opinion does not correspond with that which is appropriate or relevant to the field of horology.

[edit] No Peer Review

We are working on ways to select and highlight reliable versions of articles. Our active community of editors use tools such as the Special:Recentchanges and Special:Newpages feeds to monitor new and changing content. However, like Wikipedia, Alliance Horlogère is not uniformly peer reviewed; while readers may correct errors or engage in casual peer review, they have no legal duty to do so and thus all information read here is without any implied warranty of fitness for any purpose or use whatsoever. Even articles that have been vetted by informal peer review or featured article processes may later have been edited inappropriately, just before you view them.

None of the contributors, sponsors, administrators, or anyone else connected with Wikipedia in any way whatsoever can be responsible for the appearance of any inaccurate or libelous information or for your use of the information contained in or linked from these web pages.
