Unauthorized attempts to upload information, change information, defeat or circumvent security features, or otherwise cause damage to the system are strictly prohibited and may be punishable under applicable Federal or local laws.
The following terms, conditions, and qualifications govern your use of this Web site. By using this Web site you acknowledge and accept these terms, conditions, and qualifications, which may be modified from time to time. The term "Information," as used herein, means all information, documents, and materials on this Web site.
To read about how TVA uses the information it gathers through this Web site, read the TVA privacy policy.
- Forward-looking information. Certain Information on this Web site contains forward-looking statements relating to future events and future performance. Any statements regarding expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, estimates, objectives, intentions, assumptions, or otherwise relating to future events or performance may be forward-looking. In certain cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as "may," "will," "should," "expect," "anticipate," "believe," "intend," "project," "plan," "predict," "assume," "forecast," "estimate," "objective," "possible," "probably," "likely," "potential," "speculate," or other similar expressions.
Although TVA believes that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, TVA does not guarantee the accuracy of these statements. Numerous factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. For a description of these factors, see TVA's most recent annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all such factors or to assess the extent to which any factor or combination of factors may impact TVA's business or cause results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. TVA undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect developments that occur after the statement is made. - No warranties/limitation of liability. All Information, including references and links to third-party information, is provided "AS IS," and TVA does not guarantee the accuracy of any such Information.
