Platform Usage & Accountability

1. Acceptable Academic Use

SNUGPT is created to aid students with administrative queries, syllabus matching, hostel timings, and general campus rules. Users must not utilize the chat interface for plagiarism, cheating, or circumventing legitimate university evaluation protocols.

2. Zero Commercial Warranties

As an open-source tool, SNUGPT is provided "AS IS". The platform, database, and vector pipeline operate on a best-effort basis without warranties of any kind. Under no circumstances will the creators be liable for academic status adjustments or registration outcomes.

3. System & API Limits

To protect server performance and ensure absolute responsiveness for the whole student body, rate limits are applied to active chat sequences. Exploiting system resources, attempting to scraping context pipelines, or attacking API endpoints is strictly prohibited.
