Terms of Service
Welcome to CalcDIY ("the Site"), operated by Perihelion Labs ("we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using calcdiy.com, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, please do not use the Site.
Our Calculators Provide Estimates, Not Guarantees
This is the most important thing to understand: our calculators produce estimates for planning purposes. They are not a substitute for professional measurement, consultation, or supplier guidance.
Key points:
- Calculations are based on standard industry assumptions (e.g., typical paint coverage rates, standard mulch depths, common tile sizes). Your actual project may differ.
- Material requirements depend on factors our calculators cannot account for, including surface condition, application method, waste from cuts and irregularities, local climate, and product-specific characteristics.
- You should always verify material quantities with your supplier, contractor, or manufacturer before purchasing.
- We recommend purchasing 5-15% more material than calculated to account for waste, mistakes, and future touch-ups.
We are not responsible for material shortages, overages, or project outcomes based on our estimates. Use our calculators as a helpful starting point, then confirm with professionals.
