6. Settlements and Calculations
The Service may provide automated calculations, including settlement suggestions, win/loss summaries, and statistics. These outputs are provided for convenience only. You are responsible for reviewing all entries and calculations before relying on them. We do not guarantee that any calculation, balance, or settlement output is error-free, complete, or suitable for your specific situation.
