Dutch term or phrase: er kunnen geen recht ontleend worden aan de bovenstaande informatie
This is a disclaimer appearing after a chart of figures reprinted by a distributor in a brochure. The figures come directly from the manufactuer; so the distributor wants clients to know that he is not responsible for the data in the table; rather that information comes from the manufacturer. Feel free to tweek the translation above to reflect this, if necessary. I'm not so confident in my legal jargon...
Thanks!

ok ok , I know this is legalese and not English, but it is short and sweet and sometimes that's the key. If some poor schmo is naïve enough to take some figures as gospel, well, sorry!

Explanation:
'Although the information contained in this brochure has been compiled with the utmost care, it is subject to change without notice. It is therefore your responsibility to verify its accuracy before acting on it'.

This is the answer to this same question provided by Chris Hopley a while ago. I like it and certainly prefer it to the standard solutions provided in Jurlex.

agree  Ken Cox: a better fit to a product brochure than the legalese of 'no rights can be derived...', no matter how formally correct the latter may be. IMO you could also omit the second sentence.
