  8. Plain-English disclaimers required to clarify what this product can and can not do:
    DPlan is designed to generate decompression profiles based on Buhlmann's ZHL-16b model, with gradient factor extensions. These theoretical models and this software should be considered experimental in nature, and should not be used without understanding the risk of Decompression Sickness inherent to diving.

    No decompression procedure of any sort can guarantee that DCS will NOT occur.

    The only way to avoid risk of DCS is to NOT DIVE.

    The authors of the software will not be held accountable for any injury incurred while using a profile generated by or derived from this software.

    Users of this software are responsible for fully reading the bundled documentation, as well as staying up-to-date with the latest available version.

    This software is utterly incapable of preventing you from doing stupid things. Do us all a favor and get trained by an instructor with a deep understanding of and significant experience with decompression diving, and exercise the discipline necessary to adhere to your training on each and every dive. DO IT RIGHT or don't do it at all.

    BE WARNED: This software is undergoing continuous testing and enhancement, and may generate an incorrect profile. Any profile generated should be validated by comparison with other tables or software.
