The {{{{{1}}}|3(d)}} representation, in the {{isdaprov|documents for delivery}} table in the {{isdaprov|Schedule}}, therefore covers only the ''accuracy and completeness'' of {{{{{1}}}|Specified Information}} and not (for example) whether {{{{{1}}}|Specified Information}} is delivered ''at all''.

'''No show''': One can ''fail'' to provide it, ''at all'', in which case there is a {{{{{1}}}|Breach of Agreement}}, but be warned: the [[Grace period|period]] before one can enforce such a failure, judged by the yardstick of modern financial contracts, is long enough for a whole kingdom of dinosaurs to [[evolve]] and be wiped out; or | |||
'''It’s cobblers''': One ''can'' provide the {{{{{1}}}|Specified Information}}, on time, but it can be a total pile of ''horse ordure''. Now, here is a [[trick for young players]]: if your {{{{{1}}}|Specified Information}} is, or turns out to be, false, you have no remedy ''unless'' you have designated that it is “subject to the Section {{{{{1}}}|3(d)}} [[representation]]”. That is the one that promises it is accurate and not misleading. | |||

Now you might ask what good an item of {{{{{1}}}|Specified Information}} can possibly be, if Section {{{{{1}}}|3(d)}} ''didn’t'' apply and it could be just made up on the spot without fear of retribution — as a youngster, the [[JC]] certainly asked that question, and has repeated it over many years, and is yet to hear a good answer — but all we can presume is that in its tireless quest to cater for the unguessable predilections of the [[Negotiator|negotiating community]], {{icds}} left this preposterous option open ''just in case''. It wouldn’t be the first time. | Now you might ask what good an item of {{{{{1}}}|Specified Information}} can possibly be, if Section {{{{{1}}}|3(d)}} ''didn’t'' apply and it could be just made up on the spot without fear of retribution — as a youngster, the [[JC]] certainly asked that question, and has repeated it over many years, and is yet to hear a good answer — but all we can presume is that in its tireless quest to cater for the unguessable predilections of the [[Negotiator|negotiating community]], {{icds}} left this preposterous option open ''just in case''.
