Eligibility

The site is intended for a general adult audience. By using it you confirm that you are at least 18 years old, or that you are using it under the supervision of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to these terms. The site is not directed to children under 13.

Educational purpose

The site provides free calculators and information for general educational purposes. It does not provide medical, nutritional, or professional advice, and using it does not create any professional relationship. Please read our disclaimer, which forms part of these terms.

Acceptable use

You agree to use the site lawfully and not to misuse it. In particular, you will not attempt to disrupt or overload the site, probe or breach its security, access it through automated means that degrade service for others, scrape it at scale, introduce malware, infringe anyone's rights, or use it to build a competing product by copying our content wholesale. You may use our calculators for your own personal planning.

Intellectual property

The site's design, text, code, and original content are owned by SmartDietChoices or its licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws. The underlying scientific formulas we use are public knowledge and are credited on our methodology page; our particular explanations, wording, and implementation are ours. You may share links to our pages freely and quote short excerpts with attribution, but you may not republish substantial portions without permission.

Advertising and third-party content

The site is supported by advertising, including Google AdSense and its partners. Ads and sponsored content are served by third parties, and we do not control or endorse the specific products or services advertised. Your interactions with advertisers, and any third-party cookies they set, are governed by their own terms and privacy policies. How advertising data is handled is explained in our privacy policy.

Third-party links and services

The site may link to third-party websites and uses third-party services such as analytics and advertising. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or practices of third parties, which are governed by their own terms and policies. Following a link to an external site is at your own risk.

No warranty

The site and its calculators are provided on an as-is and as-available basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including accuracy, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or uninterrupted availability. While we use established formulas and reputable data and strive for accuracy, results are estimates and may contain errors, and individual needs vary. You are responsible for how you use the information.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, SmartDietChoices and its operators will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, or for any loss arising from your use of, or inability to use, the site or its calculators, including decisions made based on their output. Where liability cannot be excluded, our total liability is limited to the minimum permitted by law.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless SmartDietChoices and its operators from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of your misuse of the site or your breach of these terms.

Privacy

Your use of the site is also governed by our privacy policy, which explains what limited data we and our partners collect and the choices you have.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the state in which the site operator is based, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute will be handled by the courts of that jurisdiction, unless applicable law grants you the right to bring a claim elsewhere.

Severability

If any part of these terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining parts stay in full effect, and the unenforceable part will be applied to the greatest extent permitted by law.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of the site after changes are posted means you accept the revised terms. The date at the top shows the latest version.
