1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using Buildy Buddy and any of the calculation tools, estimators, converters, or other resources provided on this website (collectively, the "Services"), you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, you must not use the Services.

2. Nature of the Services

Buildy Buddy provides free online calculation and estimation tools intended to assist contractors, builders, and do-it-yourself homeowners with common construction math. These tools are designed to serve as helpful references and planning aids. They are not a substitute for professional judgment, licensed engineering advice, architectural review, or on-site measurement verification.

3. No Warranty

The Services are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. Buildy Buddy makes no representations or warranties regarding the accuracy, completeness, reliability, suitability, or availability of any calculations, estimates, or information generated by the tools.

Specifically, Buildy Buddy does not warrant that:

• The results produced by any tool will be accurate, error-free, or suitable for any particular purpose.
• The tools will account for all variables, local building codes, material specifications, site conditions, or manufacturer requirements applicable to your specific project.
• The Services will be available without interruption or free from technical errors.

4. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Buildy Buddy, its owners, operators, contributors, and affiliates shall not be held liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or exemplary damages arising out of or in connection with your use of the Services.

This includes, but is not limited to, damages resulting from:

• Material purchasing decisions made based on calculations or estimates provided by the tools.
• Construction, framing, cutting, installation, or any other building activity performed using information obtained from the Services.
• Errors, omissions, or inaccuracies in any tool output, whether caused by software bugs, user input mistakes, rounding differences, or any other factor.
• Non-compliance with local building codes, ADA requirements, manufacturer specifications, or any regulatory standard, even if a tool references or checks against such standards.
• Personal injury, property damage, or financial loss of any kind related to the use of information provided by the Services.

5. User Responsibility

You are solely responsible for:

• Verifying all measurements and inputs before relying on any tool output. The accuracy of results depends entirely on the accuracy of the information you provide.
• Independently confirming all results before making purchasing decisions, cutting materials, or beginning construction work.
• Complying with all applicable building codes, permit requirements, manufacturer installation guidelines, and local regulations. Tool outputs that reference code requirements (such as IRC stair dimensions or ADA slope maximums) are provided for general informational purposes only and may not reflect the most current code revisions or your local jurisdiction's amendments.
• Consulting qualified professionals — including licensed contractors, structural engineers, architects, or building inspectors — whenever the scope, complexity, or safety implications of a project warrant expert involvement.

6. Informational Purpose Only

All content on this website, including tool outputs, tips, reference tables, and educational descriptions, is provided for general informational purposes only. Nothing on this website constitutes professional construction advice, engineering analysis, or a recommendation to undertake any specific building activity. You should always exercise your own independent judgment and seek appropriate professional counsel before acting on any information provided here.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Buildy Buddy, its owners, operators, and affiliates from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the Services or any violation of these Terms of Service.
