6. Tool Accuracy, Capabilities & Limitations

Utility Seva is committed to providing reliable utility tools; however, all tools are subject to the following technical and operational limitations:

• Computational Approximations: Financial and mathematical calculations (including EMI, GST, interest, and CGPA calculations) are generated based on standardized mathematical formulas and user inputs. Actual bank interest charges, processing fees, statutory tax adjustments, and university grading policies may differ. Calculations are for convenience and must be independently verified for critical decisions.
• Complex Document Elements: When processing complex PDF documents—such as files with password protection, specialized embedded fonts, vector layers, AcroForms/XFA fields, or cryptographic digital signatures—certain formatting nuances, visual layers, or interactive attributes may not be preserved identically during client-side manipulation.
• No Universal Guarantee: No warranty is made that every tool will function without error across every arbitrary, legacy, non-standard, or corrupted file format, or on every legacy operating system and browser version.
