Terms of Use
Short version: Simplified Plot provides free, browser-based calculators and educational content. Use the site as a calculation aid, not as professional advice or a substitute for independent verification.
1. Acceptance of These Terms
These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of simplifiedplot.com, including calculator pages, articles, formulas, examples, scripts, search features, copy buttons, and related site content.
By using Simplified Plot, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the site.
2. What Simplified Plot Provides
Simplified Plot is a static calculator website. The calculator pages and JavaScript files are delivered to your browser, and calculations are performed on your device. The site does not require an account, login, subscription, or payment for normal use.
The site may include formulas, examples, definitions, explanations, references, and visualizations. This content is provided for general educational, informational, and exploratory purposes.
3. Calculator Results Are Estimates
Calculator outputs depend on the inputs you provide, the formulas or methods implemented on the page, browser behavior, rounding, precision limits, display formatting, assumptions, and supported input formats.
Results may be approximate, incomplete, rounded, outdated, misinterpreted, affected by browser limitations, or wrong due to mistakes in inputs, formulas, code, assumptions, units, or interpretation. You are responsible for checking all inputs, assumptions, units, formulas, and outputs before using a result.
4. No Professional Advice
Simplified Plot does not provide professional advice. The site is not a substitute for legal, financial, tax, medical, engineering, construction, academic, safety, statistical, business, regulatory, or other professional judgment.
For professional, safety-sensitive, construction, engineering, official, regulated, high-cost, health, financial, legal, tax, or other important uses, verify results with an appropriate method, current standards, required tolerances, and a qualified professional.
5. High-Risk Uses
Do not rely on Simplified Plot as the only basis for decisions that could affect health, safety, legal rights, financial outcomes, structural integrity, construction work, engineering design, emergency response, compliance, official records, academic evaluation, business operations, or other high-risk matters.
If a decision matters, independently verify the result using the required source, standard, tool, professional review, or official procedure for your situation.
6. User Responsibilities
- Use the site only for lawful purposes.
- Check formulas, units, assumptions, rounding, and precision.
- Do not enter sensitive personal information into calculators.
- Keep your own records if you need to preserve a result, because the site is not a storage service.
- Confirm whether a result is appropriate for your context before relying on it.
- Use qualified review when required by law, policy, contract, professional standard, course rule, or safety practice.
7. Prohibited Conduct
You may not use Simplified Plot to:
- Break the law or encourage unlawful conduct.
- Interfere with, overload, scan, attack, or disrupt the site.
- Attempt to bypass security, access controls, rate limits, or technical protections.
- Introduce malware, harmful code, or deceptive links.
- Copy, scrape, mirror, or republish substantial parts of the site in a way that harms the site or violates these Terms.
- Misrepresent calculator results as certified, guaranteed, professional, official, or independently verified by Simplified Calc.
- Use the Simplified Plot name, logo, or branding in a confusing or misleading way.
8. Intellectual Property
The site design, text, layout, calculator interfaces, examples, logos, and original content are owned by Simplified Plot or its contributors unless otherwise stated. You may use the site for personal, educational, and ordinary reference purposes.
You may not reproduce, redistribute, sell, frame, mirror, or create a competing copy of substantial parts of the site without permission, except where allowed by applicable law.
9. Third-Party References and Links
The site may cite textbooks, standards organizations, educational resources, documentation, or external websites. Those references are provided for context and learning. External websites are controlled by their own operators, not Simplified Plot.
A link or citation does not mean Simplified Plot endorses the external website, guarantees its accuracy, or controls its privacy, security, terms, availability, or content.
10. Privacy
Your use of the site is also covered by our Privacy Policy. The Privacy Policy explains that calculator inputs and results are processed in your browser and describes browser storage, clipboard use, search, and technical delivery information.
11. Feedback
If you send suggestions, corrections, ideas, bug reports, formulas, examples, or other feedback, you allow Simplified Plot to use that feedback without payment or obligation to you. Do not send confidential information through feedback channels.
12. Availability and Changes to the Site
Simplified Plot may add, change, remove, suspend, or discontinue calculators, articles, links, categories, features, files, or access to the site at any time. We do not guarantee that the site will always be available, error-free, secure, complete, or compatible with every device or browser.
13. Disclaimers
To the fullest extent allowed by law, Simplified Plot is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise. This includes implied warranties of accuracy, reliability, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, availability, and error-free operation.
We do not warrant that any calculator, formula, article, example, file, result, explanation, or reference will be accurate, complete, current, suitable for your purpose, accepted by an instructor, accepted by an authority, or compliant with any standard, regulation, contract, or professional requirement.
14. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent allowed by law, Simplified Plot and its owners, contributors, and operators will not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, punitive, or similar damages, including lost profits, lost data, business interruption, reliance losses, personal injury, property damage, failed academic work, incorrect decisions, or losses resulting from calculator errors, site unavailability, or use of the site.
Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
15. Indemnity
To the extent allowed by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Simplified Plot and its owners, contributors, and operators from claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, and expenses arising from your misuse of the site, your violation of these Terms, your violation of law, or your reliance on results without appropriate verification.
16. Termination or Blocking
We may restrict, block, suspend, or terminate access to the site or any feature if we believe use of the site violates these Terms, creates risk, disrupts the site, or may harm Simplified Plot or others.
17. International Use
Simplified Plot may be accessed from many locations. You are responsible for complying with laws, rules, standards, and professional requirements that apply to you and your use of the site.
18. Governing Law and Disputes
These Terms are intended to apply to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. If a court or authority decides that any part of these Terms is unenforceable, the remaining parts will continue to apply as much as possible.
Nothing in these Terms limits rights that cannot legally be limited or excluded in your jurisdiction.
19. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms when the site changes, when new features are added, or when operational or legal needs change. The updated Terms will be posted on this page with a new last updated date. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated Terms.
