• Product, Safety and Other Technical Information

​

While GMS uses commercially reasonable efforts to provide accurate information, the industry of which GMS is a part and the laws and regulations applicable to that industry change frequently. Therefore information contained on the Site may not be current or accurate. Because many factors go into the decision-making process of purchasing a given product and everyone's particular circumstances and needs may differ, the Licensed Content is provided for informational purposes only. GMS cannot ensure or guarantee and does not warrant that your product selection will be accurate, meet your particular needs or requirements or that the recommendations, regulations or other information provided is complete, accurate or current for your specific needs. Each claim or statement about the effectiveness of GMS products and/or claims or statements comparing the effectiveness of GMS products to that of others is expressly limited to the Kingdom of Bahrain unless otherwise stated on the Site. If a product or sample offered by GMS through the Site is not as described, please inform us. Product description and picture is subject to correction and change. GMS may refuse or cancel based upon erroneous promotion terms.

GMS and/or its service providers collecting non-personally identifiable information may use this information to advertise to you.

​
