1. Information only, not advice
The Website's articles, tools and other content are for general information and, where stated, entertainment only. They are not financial, investment, tax, legal, medical, veterinary or other professional advice. Tool results are estimates based solely on the information and assumptions you enter; they are not offers, quotes or guarantees. We are not a lender, broker or provider of the products discussed, and figures from public sources may be approximate or out of date. You are solely responsible for your decisions; consult a qualified professional where appropriate, and in an emergency contact the appropriate emergency service right away.
2. Our tools
What you type into our tools is processed in your browser and is not sent to us, unless the tool clearly states otherwise. Some tools let you email your results to yourself; your email address and results are then used only to send that email, as described in our Privacy Policy. If you keep information on your device, anyone with access to that device and browser may see it, and you can delete it at any time with the option in the tool. Where we do not receive your information, we cannot recover it and are not liable for its loss. Other information about your use of the Website is handled as described in our Privacy Policy.

4. Things you send us
Questions, comments, suggestions and other materials you send us are non-confidential, as described in our Privacy Policy, and you allow us to use them for any lawful purpose without compensation. This does not apply to what you type into our tools, which is not sent to us unless you choose to email your results to yourself (see Section 2).
5. Acceptable use

In particular, you may not break the law or infringe anyone's rights through it; interfere with it or try to gain unauthorized access to it; copy or collect its content by robots, scrapers or other automated means, including to train artificial intelligence models, without our written permission; frame it on another website; or use it to send unsolicited messages or to impersonate anyone. We may restrict or end access for anyone who violates these Terms.
6. Third-party websites
The Website may link to websites, products and services of others. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content, accuracy or practices, and your use of them is at your own risk and subject to their own terms.
