To maintain service quality and ensure fair access for all users, we implement the following technical limitations:

• Batch Limits: Where batch processing is available, limits on the number of simultaneous files may apply
• Rate Limiting: We may implement rate limits on the number of conversions per IP address or user session to prevent abuse

Service Availability and Uptime

While we strive to maintain high service availability (targeting 99.9% uptime), we cannot guarantee uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free operation of our services. Service may be temporarily unavailable due to:

• Scheduled maintenance and system upgrades

We are not liable for any losses, damages, or inconvenience resulting from service interruptions, regardless of cause. We recommend maintaining backup copies of all important files.

Conversion Quality and Accuracy

While we use industry-standard algorithms and strive for high-quality conversions, we cannot guarantee: perfect formatting preservation in all cases; that all fonts, images, or special formatting will be maintained; that OCR (optical character recognition) will be 100% accurate for scanned documents; or that compressed files will meet specific quality requirements for all use cases. Users should always review converted files for accuracy before using them for important purposes.
