Disclaimer

1. General Information Only

The Harvard referencing generator provided on harvardcitation.com is intended for informational and educational purposes only. While we strive to ensure the accuracy of all generated citations, we make no representations or warranties of any kind — express or implied — about the completeness, accuracy, reliability, or suitability of the information and tools on this website.

2. No Guarantee of Accuracy

Although our citation generator follows the Cite Them Right (10th edition) Harvard referencing standard, we cannot guarantee that every generated citation is 100% accurate. Harvard referencing conventions can vary between universities, departments, and disciplines. Additionally:

• The accuracy of auto-generated citations depends on the quality of data returned by third-party APIs (Open Library, CrossRef)
• Formatting rules may differ from your institution's specific requirements
• The tool relies on the accuracy of information you enter into the form
• Citation styles evolve over time and guidelines may have been updated since our last revision

3. Your Responsibility

You are solely responsible for:

• Verifying all generated citations against your institution's official referencing guide before submission
• Ensuring the accuracy and completeness of information you enter into the generator
• Cross-checking citations against the original source material
• Compliance with your institution's academic integrity policies

We strongly recommend consulting your university library, tutor, or official institution guidelines when in doubt about citation formatting.

4. Academic Integrity

harvardcitation.com is a tool to assist with the formatting of citations and references. It is your responsibility to ensure that your use of source material complies with applicable academic integrity policies, copyright laws, and your institution's rules regarding plagiarism. Proper attribution of sources is a fundamental academic requirement — our tool assists with formatting, not with the selection of sources or compliance with fair use.

5. Third-Party Links and APIs

Our website may contain links to third-party websites (such as Open Library, CrossRef, and Google Fonts). These links are provided for your convenience. We have no control over the content, privacy practices, or accuracy of those sites and accept no responsibility for them. The inclusion of any link does not imply endorsement by harvardcitation.com.

6. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, harvardcitation.com shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of, or reliance on, the citation generator or any content on this website. This includes, but is not limited to, any academic penalties, loss of marks, or submission rejections resulting from inaccurate citations.

7. No Professional Advice

The content on harvardcitation.com does not constitute professional academic, legal, or editorial advice. For authoritative guidance on referencing, please consult your institution's academic support services, your university library, or the official Cite Them Right guide.
