While every effort is made during the transcription and editing process to ensure that no grammatical, typographical or punctuation errors remain, Star Ghostwriters and its editors cannot guarantee that the occasional error will not be overlooked, or that further issues will be introduced during the review or publication process. Thus, Star Ghostwriters do not accept any liability for such errors arising during the review or publication process.
