Terms of Service & Estimation Disclaimer

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing, browsing, or using RenovationCalculator (accessible at https://renovationcalculator.online), you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service, along with our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, you must discontinue use of the site immediately.

2. Construction Estimation Disclaimer & Waste Variance

Construction and remodeling projects inherently involve physical variances. While our algorithms reflect industry standards (including ASTM standards, Tile Council of North America specifications, and the International Residential Code), actual material requirements and labor costs will vary based on:

• Substrate irregularities, wall out-of-plumb deviations, and unlevel floor deflection.
• Installer cutting technique, complex tile patterns (such as herringbone or 45° diagonal layouts), and room alcove geometries.
• Manufacturer caliber tolerances, nominal packaging variations, and batch dye-lot discrepancies.
• Regional pricing fluctuations, local sales taxes, shipping surcharges, and minimum contractor dispatch fees.

Users are strongly advised to physically verify all dimensions on site, order recommended contingency waste buffers, and consult with certified trade professionals or material suppliers before placing irrevocable purchase orders.

3. Safety, Permitting & Code Compliance

RenovationCalculator does not verify whether your project conforms to local zoning laws, municipal building permits, structural load requirements, or regional safety codes (such as National Electrical Code [NEC], International Building Code [IBC], or local seismic regulations).

You are solely responsible for obtaining any necessary municipal building permits, arranging code inspections, and ensuring that all structural framing, load-bearing modifications, electrical wiring, and gas or plumbing alterations are executed in accordance with local laws by qualified, licensed, and insured professionals.

4. 100% Client-Side Processing & Intellectual Property

All calculator mathematical scripts and interface engines are executed directly in your browser client-side. The proprietary algorithms, responsive interface design, written guide tutorials, graphics, and compilation of calculators are the intellectual property of RenovationCalculator and protected by international copyright laws.

You may use the calculators freely for personal, educational, and professional estimating purposes. Automated scraping, bulk extraction of algorithms, or unauthorized mirroring of our tools for commercial re-distribution without written permission is strictly prohibited.

5. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, RenovationCalculator and its operators, contributors, and authors shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or exemplary damages resulting from:

• Material shortages or excess material purchases resulting from estimates generated by our tools.
• Structural failures, physical injuries, or property damage sustained during DIY construction or renovation activities.
• Cost overruns, contractor dispute settlements, or construction scheduling delays.
• Any inaccuracies, typos, or omissions within our written installation guides or calculation formulas.
