The author has made every effort to ensure that the information provided by this software is accurate and conforms to the methods described in the publication.

However as indicated in the Discussion section of the publication, the recurrence and progression rates published in the paper and which are estimated with this software may be higher than those found in current clinical practice. In addition, a patient's prognosis may depend on other factors than those taken into account here. Thus any decisions concerning patient care should not be based only on the use of this software, but should also take into account the patient's past history and other current patient and tumor characteristics.

As medical science is constantly changing and human error is always possible, the author and the EORTC do not warrant the software's accuracy nor are they responsible for any omissions, errors or outcomes resulting from the use of this software.

In no event shall either the author or the EORTC be liable to any party for any direct, indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages, including lost profits, arising from the use of this software even if they have been advised of the possibility of such damage.

The author and the EORTC specifically disclaim any warranties, including but not limited to, the implied warranty of fitness for calculating the probabilities of recurrence and progression for patients with stage Ta T1 bladder cancer. The software provided hereunder is on an “as is” basis and neither the author nor the EORTC have any obligations to provide maintenance, support, updates, enhancements or modifications.
