Subject to your strict compliance with these Terms, BusinessCalc grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Platform for your personal, internal business modeling, educational, and corporate decision-making purposes without payment of royalty fees.

4. Intellectual Property Ownership

The Platform, including all underlying HTML source code, CSS design token architecture, client-side JavaScript calculation algorithms, graphic lockups, wordmarks, SVG visual charts, technical article guides, mathematical derivations, and UI layouts, is the exclusive intellectual property of BusinessCalc and its licensors, protected by United States and international copyright, trademark, trade secret, and intellectual property laws.

6. No Accounting, Tax or Legal Advice Disclosure

THE CALCULATORS, FORMULAS, GUIDES, STATUTORY CITATIONS, AND ERP EXPORTS PROVIDED ON THIS PLATFORM ARE FOR INFORMATIONAL, MODELING, AND EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. ACCORDINGLY, BUSINESSCALC DOES NOT PROVIDE LICENSED CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT (CPA) SERVICES, REGISTERED INVESTMENT ADVISER (RIA) COUNSEL, FORMAL TAX PREPARATION, OR LEGAL ADVICE.

Financial calculations rely on standardized GAAP/IFRS mathematical definitions and user-entered values. They do not substitute for audited financial statements, formal tax filings, or professional consultation with a licensed professional. Please cross-reference our Legal & Material Financial Disclaimer for full disclosures.

7. Calculation Accuracy & "As-Is" Nature

While BusinessCalc strives for 100% mathematical precision across all 116 calculators and verifies algorithms against statutory references (such as FASB ASC codifications, IRS Publication 946 MACRS tables, and FLSA 29 CFR 778 overtime rules), calculations are provided strictly on an "AS-IS" and "AS-AVAILABLE" basis.

The accuracy of output figures depends directly on the accuracy of your User Inputs, period assumptions, tax rates, and macro environment variables. BusinessCalc makes no guarantees that calculator results will reflect actual tax liabilities, corporate audit outcomes, or statutory compliance reviews. You accept full responsibility for verifying output accuracy prior to executing corporate decisions.

8. Third-Party Links & ERP Exports

The Platform may display links to third-party standards bodies (e.g., FASB, IRS, CFA Institute, AICPA) or generate client-side ERP subledger files formatted for NetSuite, SAP, or QuickBooks. These references and export structures are provided solely for user convenience. BusinessCalc is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by NetSuite, SAP, QuickBooks, or regulatory standards agencies.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BUSINESSCALC EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, ACCURACY, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR UNINTERRUPTED AVAILABILITY.

WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE PLATFORM WILL MEET YOUR SPECIFIC CORPORATE REQUIREMENTS, THAT CALCULATIONS WILL BE ERROR-FREE, THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED, OR THAT STATIC SERVERS ARE FREE OF VIRUSES OR MALICIOUS COMPONENTS.

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL BUSINESSCALC, ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AFFILIATES, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, SAVINGS, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION) ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE PLATFORM OR CALCULATOR OUTPUTS.

THIS LIMITATION APPLIED REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE CLAIMED LIABILITY IS BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF BUSINESSCALC HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

IN NO EVENT SHALL OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS EXCEED ONE HUNDRED UNITED STATES DOLLARS ($100.00 USD).

11. Indemnification Obligation

Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms, the breach thereof, or your use of the Platform shall be resolved through binding individual arbitration administered under the Arbitration Rules of the Dubai International Arbitration Centre (DIAC) or the competent courts of the United Arab Emirates.

YOU AND BUSINESSCALC AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

15. Severability & Entire Agreement

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be severed or modified to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and BusinessCalc regarding the Platform.
