Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

Welcome to Acreage Calculator (accessible at https://acreagecalculator.net), owned and operated by Acreage Calculator ("we," "us," or "our"). By accessing, browsing, or using our website and interactive tools — including our main Acreage Calculator, Polygon Area Calculator, Map Area Calculator, Land Price Calculator, Mowing Time Calculator, unit converters, and educational guides — you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms") and our Privacy Policy.

If you do not agree to these Terms in full, you must immediately discontinue using our website and tools.

2. Scope & Permitted Use of Calculator Tools

Acreage Calculator grants you a revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited license to access and use our interactive calculators for personal, commercial planning, educational, and evaluation purposes in accordance with these Terms:

• Informational Estimates: You may use our tools to calculate land acreage from dimensions, measure lot sizes, estimate property values, plan agricultural crop acreage, or estimate commercial lawn mowing schedules.
• Verification Requirement: You acknowledge that real-world factors — such as topography, slope gradients, curved property lines, satellite imagery distortions, GPS accuracy limits, and municipal zoning laws — affect land measurements. You agree to independently verify all critical dimensions with certified surveys before purchasing land, erecting fences, starting construction, or signing binding legal contracts.

3. Accuracy Disclaimer & Survey Notice

While we make every reasonable effort to ensure mathematical accuracy in our JavaScript engines (implementing standard geometric formulas, the Shoelace algorithm, Heron's formula, and spherical polygon calculations):

• No Guarantee of Precision: We do not warrant that calculations, unit conversions, financial estimates, or map pin area outputs are 100% error-free, complete, or suitable for any specific legal or commercial purpose.
• Not a Certified Survey: Calculations produced by Acreage Calculator do not legal establish property boundaries, title deeds, tax liabilities, or setback requirements. Only a state-licensed Professional Land Surveyor (PLS) can perform a legal boundary survey.

4. Interactive Satellite Map & Geocoding Features

Our Map Area Calculator utilizes third-party mapping libraries and geocoding services (such as OpenStreetMap, Leaflet.js, and public geocoding APIs) to render satellite map tiles and plot custom drawing pins:

• Satellite Imagery Disclaimer: Satellite map tiles are provided by third-party suppliers and may be subject to distortion, elevation displacement, outdated aerial photography, or alignment offsets. Drawing pins placed on satellite views are rough visual guides only.
• Third-Party Terms: Your use of interactive map features is also subject to the terms of service of the respective third-party map data providers.

5. Intellectual Property Rights

All materials on Acreage Calculator — including but not limited to website design, logo graphics, source code, interactive JavaScript calculation algorithms, custom SVG diagrams, visualizers, UI components, layout structures, text, formulas, and educational guide content — are the exclusive intellectual property of Acreage Calculator and are protected by applicable copyright, trademark, and unfair competition laws.
