"indemnified manufactures product data" basically means that the manufacturer is responsible for the content and would be legally liable if it was known to be misleading. This requirement is asking for data released directly by the manufacturer as opposed to a 3rd party.

Sarah, thanks for your response. We completed a submittal on Pilot Credit 11 a month or so ago, and most of the manufacturer-obtained data we got was in the form of an email from a company representative. In your opinion, are they legally liable if information in that email proves to be false?

Yes, that is acceptable. I have received you documentation and we are reviewing it now. Thanks for testing out the credit!
