Terms of Use

1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User," "you," or "your") and the operators of Project Time Calculator ("we," "us," or "our"). By using the Service in any manner, including visiting or browsing the website, you accept and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

2. Description of the Service

Project Time Calculator is a free, browser-based tool that generates approximate time estimates for common home improvement and construction projects. The Service uses user-provided measurements, project parameters, and optional lifestyle inputs to produce timeline projections. All computations are performed locally within the user's web browser.

3. No Professional Advice

The Service does not provide professional, engineering, architectural, structural, electrical, plumbing, contracting, or any other licensed professional advice. All estimates generated by the Service are approximations based on generalized industry benchmarks and are intended solely for preliminary planning and informational purposes.

You should not rely on any estimate from the Service as a substitute for advice from a licensed contractor, structural engineer, architect, or other qualified professional. Before undertaking any home improvement project — particularly those involving structural components, electrical wiring, plumbing, roofing, or load-bearing elements — you must consult with appropriately licensed professionals in your jurisdiction.

We strongly recommend obtaining multiple professional estimates before committing to any project scope, timeline, or budget.

4. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:

• Any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement;
• Any warranty that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses or other harmful components;
• Any warranty regarding the accuracy, completeness, reliability, suitability, or availability of the estimates or other content provided by the Service;
• Any warranty that results obtained through the Service will be accurate or reliable.

Actual project timelines depend on numerous variables including but not limited to: site conditions, material quality, crew size and skill level, weather, equipment availability, permit delays, and unforeseen structural or environmental conditions. Individual results will vary significantly from estimates generated by this Service.

5. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL WE, OUR AFFILIATES, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION:

• Loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses;
• Damages resulting from your reliance on any estimate, calculation, or information provided by the Service;
• Damages resulting from project overruns, scheduling conflicts, contractor disputes, or material waste attributable to use of the Service;
• Damages for personal injury or property damage arising from home improvement work undertaken in reliance on the Service.

BECAUSE THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED FREE OF CHARGE, OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIMS ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED ZERO DOLLARS ($0). SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU IN FULL.

6. Assumption of Risk

Home improvement and construction activities carry inherent risks of personal injury, property damage, and financial loss. By using the Service to plan a project, you acknowledge and assume all risks associated with undertaking that project, including risks arising from inaccurate time estimates, unforeseen site conditions, or your own level of skill and experience.
