- Most of the species records held by LERN have been made and supplied to LERN by individual naturalists recording in Lancashire. Those providing data retain the intellectual property rights over the original individual records.
- Presence in a species search does not imply that a species is still present or breeding at that location.
- Absence from a species search does not imply that a species is not present or breeding at that location.
- LERN takes reasonable measures to ensure that the data it supplies are verified and validated, however, by their nature, biological records can be subjective, based on the skill and experience of the original recorders. No warranty is expressed or implied in respect of the accuracy of the underlying data.
