JB Foster quotes his company's disclaimer:

> It is the responsibility of the end-user to insure

I believe that should be "ensure." "Insure" refers
only to the selling or buying of insurance policies.
"Ensure" means to make sure. Not the same as "assure,"
either, btw. You might mention this point to your lawyers.
Was it your lawyers who drafted that language in the
first place? Seems like the kind of distinction that they
would take very seriously.
