Disclaimer

What this is

This page covers the legal fine print regarding your use of ToolsKit. We'll keep it as short and clear as we can. This disclaimer applies to the ToolsKit website and all tools, features, and content available on it. By using our site, you acknowledge and agree to the limitations described on this page.

Tool accuracy and reliability

We build these tools carefully, but they are not perfect, and we make no guarantees about the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any output they produce. Each tool has specific limitations you should be aware of:

GPA Calculators: GPA calculations might be off if your school uses an unusual grading scale, applies weighting differently, or has specific policies for repeated courses, pass/fail classes, or incomplete grades. Our calculators use general-purpose formulas that work for the majority of institutions but may not account for every variation. Always verify your calculated GPA against your official transcript or registrar's records.

ATS Score Estimators: ATS scores provided by our resume tools are estimates based on general industry heuristics and common ATS parsing algorithms. They do not represent how any specific company's ATS will evaluate your resume. Different ATS software (such as Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, Taleo, or iCIMS) use different parsing logic, and there is no universal standard for ATS scoring. Treat these scores as one data point among many when refining your resume.

Citation Generators: Citation generators might need manual verification. While we strive for accuracy according to each citation style's official guidelines, edge cases in source formatting, unusual publication types, or sources with missing metadata may produce incorrect citations. Always review generated citations against the official style manual (APA, MLA, Chicago, etc.) before submitting academic work.

PDF and Text Tools: Document processing tools may not handle every file format, encoding, or edge case correctly. We recommend keeping backups of original files before processing and verifying output quality.

Always verify important results before using them for anything critical. These tools are designed to assist you, not replace professional judgment or institutional verification processes.

Professional advice disclaimer

Our tools are helpers, not professionals. Nothing on ToolsKit constitutes professional advice of any kind. Specifically:

• Not legal advice: Citation and document tools do not provide legal counsel. Consult a qualified attorney for legal matters.
• Not financial advice: GPA and calculator tools do not provide financial guidance. Consult a qualified financial advisor for financial decisions.
• Not medical advice: ToolsKit does not provide medical information or recommendations. Consult a qualified healthcare provider for medical concerns.
• Not career advice: ATS scores and resume tools are informational only. They do not guarantee job placement or interview callbacks. Consider working with a professional career coach for personalized guidance.
• Not academic advice: Tools do not constitute academic counseling. Consult your institution's academic advisors for official guidance on academic policies and requirements.

If you need expert advice, talk to an actual expert in the relevant field. The information provided by our tools should be used as a starting point for further research and professional consultation, not as a definitive answer.

External links

If we link to other sites, we don't control what's on them. We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, accuracy, or opinions expressed on external websites. The inclusion of any link does not imply endorsement, recommendation, or affiliation. You access external links at your own risk and should review their terms and privacy policies independently.

We do our best to link only to reputable, relevant resources. However, websites change, and a link that was appropriate when we added it may become outdated or problematic over time. If you find a broken or inappropriate link on our site, please let us know.

Liability limitations

ToolsKit is free and provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim all warranties, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

In no event shall ToolsKit, its operators, contributors, or affiliates be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of your use of or inability to use the site, including but not limited to loss of data, loss of profits, business interruption, or damage to equipment or systems. This limitation applies regardless of the theory of liability — whether based on contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or any other legal theory.

Because some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, our liability in such jurisdictions shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law. In jurisdictions where limitations are not permitted, our total liability shall not exceed the amount you paid us to use the tools — which is zero.

Warranty disclaimers

We disclaim all warranties, whether express, implied, or statutory, including but not limited to:

• Implied warranties of merchantability: We do not warrant that the tools are merchantable or fit for any particular purpose.
• Fitness for a particular purpose: We do not warrant that the tools will meet your specific requirements or produce results suitable for any particular purpose.
• Non-infringement: We do not warrant that the tools will not infringe on any third-party intellectual property rights.
• Accuracy or completeness: We do not warrant that the tools' output is accurate, complete, or reliable.
• Uninterrupted service: We do not warrant that the tools will be available at all times without interruption or error.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you. In such jurisdictions, our warranties are limited to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

User-generated content

When you use our tools, any content you upload or process is your sole responsibility. You represent and warrant that you have the right to use and process any content you submit through our tools, and that such content does not violate any applicable laws, regulations, or third-party rights. We are not responsible for any content you upload, process, or generate using our tools.

No guarantee of availability

We strive to keep ToolsKit available and running smoothly, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted access. The site may be temporarily unavailable due to maintenance, updates, hosting issues, or circumstances beyond our control. We are not liable for any inconvenience or loss resulting from site downtime or inability to access the tools at any particular time.

Force majeure

We shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performance of our obligations under this disclaimer resulting from circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to natural disasters, pandemics, power outages, internet disruptions, cyberattacks, or acts of governmental authority.

Changes

We might update this disclaimer from time to time. The date at the top always shows the latest version. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about any changes. Continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised disclaimer.
