Accessibility Disclaimer for External Sites
Generatormcr.org includes links to external websites. While we aim to ensure our website is accessible, we cannot guarantee the same level of accessibility on linked external sites. These links are provided for your convenience, and the inclusion of any link does not imply endorsement by Generatormcr.org or a guarantee of the external site’s compliance with accessibility standards. We are not responsible for the accessibility features or compliance of any linked external website.
