Can the phrase "for reference only" be used in this case?

For example, you provide some information for someone, but you don't know if this information is true. So you want to tell them "I don't know if this information is true. I just write it here for you to consider. If you believe in it and use this information officially and have any serious consequences, then I won't be responsible for that." So, in this case, can the phrase "for reference only" express that meaning?

Answer

For reference only is ok to use, but I would question you in which capacity you are working with this individual. If you are working on a professional level and advising someone, or is it just a friend?  I wonder only because you're concerned about possible "serious consequences"

Answer

Reference only is often used to describe a theoretical fact which may change when applied to an outside environment. A simple example would be gas milage on a car. While an automaker may rate the gas milage of a car at 35 miles per gallon, it will perform differently in the real world depending on factors such as the driver and road conditions.
