Terms of Service

Using MakerMeasure

MakerMeasure provides calculators, estimators, reference-based tools and related content for DIY, construction, woodworking, landscaping and similar project-planning purposes.

You may browse the website and use its publicly available features for lawful personal or commercial projects, subject to these Terms. You are responsible for how you use any information or result obtained from MakerMeasure.

Calculator Results and Project Estimates

MakerMeasure is designed to make practical calculations easier, but a calculator result is only as reliable as its inputs, assumptions and reference data. Measurements, product coverage, material density, waste, installation methods and real-world conditions can vary.

No structural or code certification

MakerMeasure does not certify structural safety, building-code compliance, product suitability or professional engineering adequacy. Tools involving stairs, roofs, framing, deflection, machinery, materials or similar topics are planning aids and must not replace qualified professional advice where that is required.

Optimization and reference tools

Some tools use heuristics, averages, lookup tables or simplified models. An efficient cutting layout is not necessarily a mathematically global optimum, and reference material properties may not match a particular piece of material or product.

See the Disclaimer for additional detail.

Intellectual Property

The MakerMeasure website, including its original written content, organization, design, branding, software, calculator implementations, interfaces and other original materials, is protected by applicable copyright, trademark and other intellectual-property laws.

Except where otherwise stated or permitted by law, you may not reproduce, republish, redistribute, scrape for republication, sell or commercially exploit substantial portions of MakerMeasure without permission.

You may link to MakerMeasure and quote reasonable portions where permitted by law, provided the use does not misleadingly imply endorsement or affiliation.

Third-party names, trademarks, product names and other intellectual property remain the property of their respective owners. Their appearance on MakerMeasure does not imply sponsorship, affiliation or endorsement unless expressly stated.

Prohibited Uses

You must not use MakerMeasure in a way that is unlawful, harmful to the website or disruptive to other visitors. In particular, you must not:

• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to administration areas, servers, databases or connected systems.
• Attempt to bypass security controls, rate limits or other technical protections.
• Introduce malware, malicious code or material intended to damage or disrupt the website.
• Deliberately overload or interfere with MakerMeasure or its normal operation.
• Use MakerMeasure to facilitate unlawful activity or infringe another person’s rights.
• Copy, scrape, reproduce or extract substantial portions of the website in a way that infringes rights or places an unreasonable technical burden on the site.
• Misrepresent yourself as MakerMeasure or falsely suggest that MakerMeasure endorses, sponsors or is affiliated with you, your product or your service.

Nothing in this section is intended to prohibit ordinary search-engine indexing, legitimate linking or other automated access that MakerMeasure expressly permits.

Third-Party Websites, Services and Advertising

MakerMeasure may link to manufacturers, suppliers, reference sources, products, services or other resources operated by third parties. MakerMeasure does not control those websites and is not responsible for their content, availability, security, privacy practices or terms.

If MakerMeasure displays advertising in the future, advertisements may be supplied by third-party advertising services. The appearance of an advertisement does not necessarily mean MakerMeasure endorses the advertiser, product or service.

If affiliate links are used in the future, MakerMeasure may receive a commission when a visitor makes a qualifying purchase after following one of those links. Any purchase or transaction is between you and the relevant seller or service provider and is subject to that provider’s own terms.

Accuracy, Availability and Disclaimers

We aim to make MakerMeasure useful and accurate, but we cannot guarantee that every calculator, formula, reference value, description or other piece of information will always be complete, accurate, current or free from errors.

Content, formulas, reference data and website features may be corrected, updated, changed or removed without notice. We also do not guarantee that MakerMeasure will always be available, uninterrupted or free from technical problems.

MakerMeasure is provided on an “as available” basis. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no warranties are provided beyond those that cannot legally be excluded.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, MakerMeasure will not be responsible for indirect, incidental or consequential loss arising from use of, inability to use, or reliance on the website, a calculator result, reference value, external link or other content.

You are responsible for deciding whether a result is appropriate for your project and for carrying out any checks necessary before relying on it.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where doing so would be unlawful, including liability that cannot legally be excluded or restricted under applicable consumer or other law.

Privacy

The Privacy Policy explains what information may be processed when you use MakerMeasure, how contact submissions are handled and how calculator inputs are treated. The Privacy Policy forms part of the terms governing your use of the website.

Changes to MakerMeasure and These Terms

MakerMeasure may add, remove or change calculators, content, features or other parts of the website without notice. These Terms may also be updated when the website, its services or applicable legal requirements change.

When these Terms are updated, the revised version will be published on this page and the “Last updated” date will be changed. Continued use of MakerMeasure after an updated version is published will be subject to the revised Terms.

Governing Law

These Terms and your use of MakerMeasure are governed by the laws of England and Wales, subject to any mandatory rights you may have under laws that apply where you live.

Nothing in these Terms is intended to remove consumer rights that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to apply to the fullest extent permitted by law.
