Terms of Service

Introduction

Welcome to FixItRight (“we,” “our,” or “us”). These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of our website at howtot.com and all associated calculators, guides, and services (collectively, the “Service”).

By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you disagree with any part of them, please do not use the Service.

Acceptance of Terms

By accessing, browsing, or using FixItRight, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference.

We may update these Terms at any time. Your continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

Planning Aids — Not a Substitute for a Professional

FixItRight’s calculators are planning and estimating tools. They apply standard formulas and common hardware-store conventions to the values you enter, so a result depends entirely on your input and on the assumptions of a simplified model. Nothing on the Service is a professional inspection, an engineering assessment, or a licensed contractor’s determination. The Service covers general, everyday homeowner maintenance and repair — it does not cover electrical, gas, or structural work, and any project in those categories should be evaluated and performed by a licensed professional, not by a calculator on this site.

Description of Service

FixItRight provides free, browser-based calculators and educational resources, including:

• A paint coverage calculator
• A drywall patch size guide
• A tile count calculator
• A caulk amount estimator
• A wall anchor selector
• A DIY project time estimator
• Guides, explainers, and reference content on home repair

All tools are provided free of charge. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time.

Your Responsibilities

When using the Service, you agree to:

• Use the tools in good faith for planning routine, homeowner-level repairs and projects
• Enter values that accurately describe your project and double-check them before relying on a result
• Recognize the limits of a DIY calculator and involve a licensed professional for electrical, gas, structural, or otherwise hazardous work
• Not disrupt, overload, or attempt to compromise the website
• Respect intellectual property rights

You are responsible for exercising your own judgment, for your own safety, and for confirming important results before relying on them.

Accuracy and Disclaimers

While we aim for correct formulas, we cannot guarantee that every calculation is error-free or suited to your circumstances. Results are estimates based on standard methods and the figures you provide, and materials, wall conditions, and workmanship vary. FixItRight makes no warranties, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

Intellectual Property

All content on this website — text, graphics, logos, tools, calculators, and software — is the property of FixItRight or its content suppliers and is protected by applicable copyright and other laws. You may use the tools for personal and educational purposes; you may not copy, resell, or reverse engineer them, or remove proprietary notices.

Limitation of Liability

In no event shall FixItRight or its suppliers be liable for any damages (including, without limitation, wasted materials, property damage, or other losses) arising out of your use of, or inability to use, the Service, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Third-Party Links and Ads

The Service may link to third-party websites and displays third-party advertisements. We do not control and are not responsible for their content, and inclusion of a link or ad is not an endorsement. Your use of any third-party site is at your own risk.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States, and you submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located there.
