Terms of Use & Service Agreement

1. Agreement to Terms & Eligibility

These Terms of Use ("Terms," "Agreement") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User," "you," or "your") and FinToolSet ("FinToolSet," "we," "us," or "our") governing your access to and use of https://fintoolset.com, including any subdomains, mobile-optimized interfaces, software tools, calculators, and educational materials (collectively, the "Site" or "Services").

By browsing, accessing, or utilizing any calculator or content on FinToolSet, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by all terms and conditions contained herein. If you do not agree with all of these terms, you are expressly prohibited from using the Site and must discontinue use immediately.

You represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years of age or possess the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement under applicable law. If you are accessing the Site on behalf of an entity, organization, or employer, you represent that you have the legal authority to bind that entity to these Terms.

2. Informational & Educational Purposes Only (No Financial Advice)

FINTOOLSET IS NOT A FINANCIAL ADVISORY FIRM, FIDUCIARY, BROKER-DEALER, REGISTERED INVESTMENT ADVISOR (RIA), MORTGAGE LENDER, OR CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING (CPA) FIRM.

All content, calculation models, repayment schedules, investment return simulations, tax estimates, and financial guides published on the Site are provided solely for general informational and educational purposes. Nothing on this Site should be construed as:

• Personalized financial planning or wealth management advice.
• A recommendation, solicitation, or endorsement to purchase, sell, or hold any security, cryptocurrency, loan product, insurance policy, or financial instrument.
• Official tax advice, legal counsel, or certified estate planning.
• A formal loan commitment, underwriting approval, or rate guarantee from any financial institution.

Personal financial decisions involve substantial risk and individual circumstances. You should never execute significant financial, real estate, tax, or investment transactions based solely on automated calculator outputs. Always consult with a licensed Certified Financial Planner (CFP®), Certified Public Accountant (CPA), or qualified legal advisor prior to making financial decisions.

3. Mathematical Models, Assumptions & Accuracy Limitations

While we strive to ensure our calculation engines reflect precise mathematical equations and authoritative statutory benchmarks (such as Truth in Lending Act standards, IRS publications, and Federal Reserve formulas), all calculations generated by the Site are mathematical estimates based upon hypothetical models and user-supplied parameters:

• User Inputs: The accuracy of any result is directly contingent upon the precision and completeness of the variables you input (such as interest rates, compounding frequency, income, inflation assumptions, and amortization periods).
• Dynamic Market Variables: Real-world financial products frequently incorporate additional fees, closing costs, property tax adjustments, PMI rate tiers, variable interest rate fluctuations, and loan origination charges that simplified models may not capture.
• Tax Code & Regulatory Changes: Tax rates, standard deductions, 401(k)/IRA contribution caps, and social security benefit formulas change over time. While we update our models annually, we do not guarantee real-time synchronization with all regional or local statutory revisions.

FinToolSet disclaims any liability for financial actions taken, contracts signed, or financial losses incurred in reliance upon calculator outputs.

4. Permitted Use & Limited License

Subject to your continuous compliance with these Terms, FinToolSet grants you a revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited personal license to access, view, and utilize the Site and its calculators for lawful, personal, and non-commercial educational purposes.

Educators, academic institutions, and financial literacy non-profit organizations are permitted to reference our calculators and link to our educational guides in classroom and curriculum settings, provided that proper source attribution to FinToolSet is visibly maintained.

5. Prohibited Conduct & Anti-Scraping Restrictions

• Reverse Engineering: Decompiling, disassembling, reverse-engineering, or attempting to discover the source code of any proprietary script or algorithm utilized on the Site.
• Infrastructure Disruption: Executing Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, flood attacks, automated form spam, or any action that imposes an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on our servers.
• Unauthorized Framing & Rebranding: Framing, mirroring, inline linking, or embedding our calculator tools inside third-party commercial applications without an official licensing agreement.
