The validation process carried out in this scheme was restricted primarily to a set of test criteria and considerations and did not include assessment of any other aspect of the software in question. As in the case of all software it was not possible to test the software submission against all possible inputs and function requirements and therefore there may be cases where the software generates erroneous results. The scheme will not be held liable for any consequences of such errors.
