Terms of Use

Acceptance and Eligibility

California Calculator is a website and service owned and operated by California Calculator, located at Jeffrey Road, Irvine, CA. In these terms, “California Calculator,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to California Calculator and the service it operates. By accessing or using California Calculator, you agree to these Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the website or its embedded calculators. If you use the service for an organization, you represent that you have authority to act for that organization.

No registration, account, membership, sign-in, or paid subscription is required or offered for public calculator use. Access to the public service does not create a customer account, professional relationship, fiduciary relationship, or advisory relationship.

Informational and Educational Estimates

Calculators, articles, charts, schedules, comparisons, and reports are provided for general informational and educational purposes. Results are estimates based on entered values, selected methods, source versions, and disclosed assumptions. They are not official determinations and do not constitute financial, investment, lending, tax, legal, medical, nutritional, fertility, pregnancy-care, immigration, construction, engineering, or other professional advice.

Review the formula, assumptions, effective date, and source information before acting. Obtain advice from a qualified professional or responsible agency when a result may affect health, finances, legal rights, taxes, permits, contracts, eligibility, deadlines, or safety.

Federal, State, and Local Rules

Laws, regulations, taxes, rates, limits, licensing requirements, building codes, lending terms, employment rules, privacy rights, and government programs can vary by state and locality. A calculator applies a particular jurisdiction only when its title or assumptions say so. A U.S. federal calculator does not include every state rule, and a California-branded website name does not make every calculator California-specific.

User-entered state or local rates are assumptions, not legal validation. State-specific tools can become outdated when a legislature, agency, court, or local authority changes a rule. Confirm current requirements with the official source before filing, paying, building, borrowing, treating, or relying on a deadline.

No Guarantee of Accuracy or Availability

We work to improve accuracy, sourcing, accessibility, and usability, but do not guarantee that every result, formula, article, external source, API, report, or service will always be complete, current, error-free, secure, or available. Actual outcomes may differ because of rounding, timing, laws, source revisions, fees, contracts, provider data, individual circumstances, or information a calculator does not request.

Permitted Use

You may use public calculators for lawful personal, educational, and internal business purposes. You may link to public pages and use official widget code generated by a Get this for your site page, subject to the widget terms below.

You may not interfere with operation or security; probe for unauthorized access; introduce malware; bypass limits; send excessive automated traffic; scrape or reproduce substantial portions of the service; misrepresent a result; use a calculator to make unlawful discriminatory or harmful decisions; or violate applicable federal, state, local, or international law.

Calculator Widgets and Attribution

Official widget code provides limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable permission to display a calculator hosted by California Calculator. The calculator title, California Calculator link, powered-by notice, trademark indicator, and Get this for your site link must remain visible and unobstructed.

You may not crop, cover, alter, imitate, reverse engineer, disable, or remove attribution; claim ownership or authorship; frame a widget in a deceptive or unlawful context; imply endorsement; or use it on a page that violates these terms. We may update, rate-limit, suspend, or discontinue widgets.

The embedding website remains responsible for its own content, consent interface, privacy policy, accessibility, security, advertising, and compliance with the laws that apply to its visitors.

Internal APIs and Automated Access

Routes used by the Currency Converter and Internet Speed Calculator support those site features and are not offered as a public, versioned API. Do not depend on them for a third-party production service, bypass the intended interface, or generate automated traffic that degrades availability. Published hosted widgets are the supported integration method.

Downloads, Shared URLs, and User Responsibility

Review all values and assumptions before downloading, printing, storing, copying, or sharing a result. Generated reports are not official statements, contracts, diagnoses, tax filings, disclosures, permits, or medical records. Some calculators can place values in a shareable URL; remove private values before sending or publishing that URL.

Intellectual Property and Open-Source Components

The project's original software, interface, branding, written content, graphics, organization, and report designs are owned by or licensed to California Calculator and protected by applicable law. Third-party open-source components remain subject to their own licenses. Except for the express permissions in these terms, no license or ownership right is granted.

Third-Party Services and Links

References, exchange-rate data, links, and Google advertisements may involve third parties. Google advertising services are the only publisher advertising platform intended for direct integration with this site, although Google may use advertising technology providers within its services. We do not control third-party content, products, security, availability, calculations, advertisements, or policies. An advertisement, link, or integration does not imply endorsement. Your dealings with a third party are between you and that party.

Disclaimer of Warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the service is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of accuracy, reliability, availability, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. Some states do not allow certain exclusions, so an exclusion may not apply to you.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, California Calculator, California Calculator, and their operators will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or losses arising from reliance on a result, inability to use the service, loss or exposure of data, provider data, shared URLs, downloads, widgets, or third-party content. State law may limit or prohibit some liability exclusions.

Changes and Service Availability

We may correct, update, suspend, limit, or discontinue any calculator, page, API route, report, or widget. We may update these terms when the service or applicable requirements change. The updated date identifies the current version; continued use after an effective update constitutes acceptance where permitted by law.

Governing Law and Contact

These terms are governed by applicable laws of the State of California and the United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except to the extent another jurisdiction's nonwaivable law applies. These terms do not select arbitration, waive a class action, or require an exclusive forum.
