Terms & Conditions

Use of the website

CalcAndPlan provides free online calculators and informational content for planning yard, garden, and landscaping projects. You may use the site for personal and commercial planning purposes. You agree not to misuse the site, including by attempting to disrupt it, access it through automated means at a scale that burdens our systems, or use it for any unlawful purpose.

Estimates, not guarantees

Calculator results are estimates based on the information you enter and the assumptions described on each page. Actual material requirements may vary depending on site conditions, compaction, settling, product specifications, and measurement accuracy. You are responsible for verifying quantities before purchasing materials or beginning work. See our Disclaimer for details.

No professional advice

Content on CalcAndPlan is general information. It is not professional engineering, landscaping, agronomic, or legal advice. For projects involving structural loads, drainage, grading, or regulatory requirements, consult a qualified professional.

Intellectual property

The CalcAndPlan name, logo, design, text, and software are owned by CalcAndPlan or its licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws. You may share links to our pages and quote brief excerpts with attribution. You may not copy, republish, or redistribute substantial portions of the site without permission.

Acceptable use

• Don’t attempt to interfere with the site’s security or operation, or overload it with automated requests.
• Don’t use the contact form to send spam, unlawful, or abusive content.
• Don’t click on ads, or encourage others to, for any reason other than genuine interest. Artificial ad interaction is prohibited.
• Don’t copy the site’s content or design to present it as your own.

Calculator limitations

Calculators use standard formulas and the values you enter. They can’t see your site, so they don’t account for slopes, hidden obstacles, soil conditions, local building codes, or the exact specifications of a product unless you enter them. Default and “typical” values are planning aids, not product data. Prices you enter are your own; actual costs vary by location, supplier, and season.

Third-party services and links

The site may link to other websites and may display advertising provided by Google. Contact form messages are delivered through an email service provider. We are not responsible for the content, products, availability, or practices of third parties, and your use of their services is governed by their terms.

Disclaimer of warranties

The site is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of accuracy, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, CalcAndPlan will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, or for any loss arising from your use of or reliance on the site, including the cost of excess or insufficient materials. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under consumer protection laws that cannot be waived.

Changes to the site and these terms

We may add, change, or remove calculators, articles, and features at any time, and we may update these terms. The “Last updated” date shows the current version. Continued use of the site after changes take effect means you accept the updated terms.
