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 ROI 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 ROI Calculator is a free, browser-based tool that generates approximate cost, ROI, and time estimates for common home improvement, construction, and related projects. Calculations run in your browser. We may save your last committed estimate on this device (first-party cookies and local storage) so you can print it, email it, or send the same line-item scope to a contractor after you refresh or return. Optional features let you print or copy an estimate and open store links. When those features are offered, you can also email an estimate to yourself, open loan links, or ask 1–2 licensed pros to quote against a line-item scope. How we store information is described in the Privacy Policy.

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. We are not responsible for any harm that results from your decision to undertake any project, regardless of whether you used the Service to plan it.

7. Intellectual Property

All content on the Service, including but not limited to text, graphics, logos, button icons, images, audio clips, data compilations, and software, is the property of the Service operators or its content suppliers and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You may use the Service for personal, non-commercial planning purposes only. You may not reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell, or exploit any portion of the Service without our express written permission.

8. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the Service to:

• Violate any applicable local, state, national, or international law or regulation;
• Transmit any material that is defamatory, offensive, or otherwise objectionable;
• Attempt to interfere with, compromise the system integrity of, or gain unauthorized access to the Service or its related systems;
• Collect or harvest any personally identifiable information from the Service;
• Use automated tools to access the Service in a manner that could impair performance or functionality.

9. Cookies and Saved Estimates

We may set first-party cookies and store your last committed estimate in this browser so the same line-item scope can be printed, emailed, or sent to a contractor after you refresh or come back. A cookie banner (CookieYes) remembers whether you allowed that save and whether you allowed Google Analytics and Google Ads. The banner may appear after you tap or after a short delay; optional cookies stay off until you choose. Details — including what we never put in a cookie (email and phone) and how to clear the save — are in the Privacy Policy. Print and copy still work if you decline that save.

10. Third-Party Links, Affiliates, and Quotes

The Service may include links to retailers, lenders, or other websites. Those links are for your convenience. We may earn a commission if you buy or apply after clicking. We do not load retailer or lender tracking scripts on this site, and we do not use our cookies to follow those clicks across the web. Destination sites may set their own cookies after you leave. Inclusion of a link is not a guarantee of price, product availability, or loan approval.

If you submit a quote request, you ask us to share your zip code, email, optional phone number, and the estimate scope with a quote partner and up to two licensed professionals. Their quotes are their own. We are not a party to any contract you enter with a contractor, retailer, or lender. Emailing yourself an estimate, or asking for quotes, does not enroll you in a newsletter or sales list unless you check the optional planning-tips box.

11. Modifications to the Service and Terms

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service (or any part of it) at any time without notice or liability. We also reserve the right to revise these Terms at any time by updating this page. The revised Terms will be effective immediately upon posting. Your continued use of the Service after any changes constitutes acceptance of the new Terms. We encourage you to review these Terms periodically.

12. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with applicable law, without regard to conflict of law provisions. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be resolved through good-faith negotiation. If negotiation fails, disputes shall be subject to binding arbitration or the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in the governing jurisdiction, as permitted by law.

You agree that any cause of action arising out of or related to the Service must be commenced within one (1) year after the cause of action accrues; otherwise, such cause of action is permanently barred.

13. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable under applicable law, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

14. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements, representations, and understandings.

15. Contact

Questions about these Terms may be directed to the operators of the Service via the contact information provided on the About page.
