Terms and Conditions
The rules of using Zetta Calculators. We've tried to keep this in plain English.
Effective date: April 28, 2026
These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of Zetta Calculators (the "Site") and any tools, calculators, or content offered through it (collectively, the "Service"). By using the Site you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.
1. The short version
- The calculators and articles on this Site are educational tools, not professional advice.
- You can use them freely for personal, educational, and reasonable commercial purposes.
- You can't scrape the Site, abuse it, or attempt to break it.
- We make no guarantees that any calculation result is correct for your specific situation.
- If something goes wrong, our liability is limited.
2. License to use the Site
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, Zetta Calculators grants you a worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Site for personal, educational, and reasonable commercial purposes. You may share links to specific pages, embed our calculator results in personal documents, and reference our content with attribution.
3. Acceptable use
When using the Site, you agree NOT to:
- Scrape, mass-download, or republish the Site's content without written permission
- Use automated systems (bots, crawlers other than well-behaved search-engine bots) to interact with the Site
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the admin area, the database, or any non-public functionality
- Reverse-engineer, decompile, or otherwise attempt to derive source code we haven't published
- Use the Site or its outputs to facilitate any illegal activity
- Submit false information, spam, or malicious content via our contact form
- Frame, mirror, or otherwise wrap the Site in a way that misrepresents its source
We reserve the right to block IP addresses, rate-limit traffic, or refuse service to anyone who violates these rules.
4. No professional advice
This is the most important section, so we've put it in its own callout:
The calculators and articles on Zetta Calculators are for general educational and informational purposes only. They are not, and should not be construed as, professional financial, legal, tax, medical, fitness, engineering, or other advice. Calculator outputs are estimates based on the inputs you provide and the assumptions documented on each page.
For decisions that depend on your specific situation — such as a mortgage, a tax filing, a medical question, a legal contract, or an engineering specification — you should consult a qualified, licensed professional who can review your full circumstances. See our Disclaimer page for more detail.
5. Intellectual property
All content on the Site — calculator code, formulas as written, articles, illustrations, design — is owned by Zetta Calculators or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. The mathematical formulas themselves (e.g., compound interest, BMI) are not owned by anyone and remain in the public domain; our written explanations and code are not.
You may quote short excerpts from our articles for educational purposes with attribution. Republishing entire articles or substantial portions requires written permission.
6. User-generated content
If you submit content via our contact form, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to read, store, and respond to that content. We will not publish your message, name, or email without your explicit consent.
7. Third-party links and services
The Site may contain links to third-party websites, products, or services. Those links are provided as a convenience. We don't endorse, control, or take responsibility for the content, accuracy, or practices of any third-party site. Your interactions with third parties are governed by their own terms and policies.
8. Disclaimers of warranties
The Site and Service are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, completeness, non-infringement, or freedom from defects.
We do not warrant that:
- The Site will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free
- Calculator outputs are accurate, complete, or applicable to your specific situation
- Articles reflect the most current laws, regulations, scientific consensus, or market data
- The Site is free of viruses, bugs, or other harmful components
9. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Zetta Calculators, its owners, employees, and contractors will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages — including but not limited to lost profits, lost savings, lost data, loss of goodwill, or losses arising from financial, medical, or legal decisions made in reliance on the Site — even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
If, despite the above, we are found liable to you for any claim, our total cumulative liability arising out of or related to your use of the Site shall not exceed USD $50 or the amount you paid us for access to the Site in the preceding twelve months (whichever is greater). Since the Site is free, that amount is typically $50.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Zetta Calculators and its owners from any claim, demand, or damages, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising from your breach of these Terms or your misuse of the Site.
11. Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Site at any time, without notice, for any reason — including violation of these Terms. You may stop using the Site at any time. Sections 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 12, and 13 survive termination.
12. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising from these Terms or your use of the Site will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Delaware, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts. (If you operate the Site from a different jurisdiction, you should adapt this clause accordingly with a local attorney.)
13. Changes to the Terms
We may update these Terms occasionally. If we make material changes, we'll update the "Effective date" at the top and post a notice on the homepage. Your continued use of the Site after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
14. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
15. Entire agreement
These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and Disclaimer, constitute the entire agreement between you and Zetta Calculators regarding the Site, superseding any prior agreements.
