## Notes on accuracy

Content on this site is written for a native English reader. Prices, limits and
deadlines are stated only where the platform enforces them. The three walkthrough
documents are technical walkthroughs of the live API contract, not customer
stories; ACTN publishes customer stories only with consent and real figures.
