Terms of Use

Last updated: 2026-05-26

These terms govern your use of woodcalcs.uk (the “site”). By using the site you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

1. What the site provides

The site is a free library of woodworking, furniture-making and timber calculators plus reference content. It is provided “as is” without account registration or payment.

2. Accuracy and professional advice

Calculators are estimates based on established woodworking practice, published timber and fastener standards, and manufacturer datasheets. Real-world results depend on the species and grade of your timber, its moisture content, your tools and machine setup, and your own measuring and cutting. Always measure twice and cut once, and verify every dimension and material quantity before cutting or purchasing.

The site is not a substitute for professional advice. Where a project carries a structural load — for example decking, pergolas, garden structures, beds, or shelving carrying heavy loads — confirm spans, joist sizing and fixings with a qualified structural engineer or building professional, and check whether the work needs Building Regulations approval or planning permission. Always follow the safety instructions for your power tools and machinery.

3. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for:

indirect, incidental, or consequential loss arising from your use of the site;
loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, business interruption, or anticipated savings;
wasted materials, mis-cuts, or errors or omissions in calculator output;
out-of-date citations where standards have since changed;
third-party links and their content.

Nothing in these terms limits or excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded under English law.

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

scrape the site in bulk using automated tools faster than a reasonable human pace;
attempt to reverse-engineer, modify, or break the site’s services;
misrepresent the site’s content as official guidance or as an endorsement of a product;
use the site for any unlawful purpose.

5. Intellectual property

Page text, diagrams, UI design, calculator logic, and code are protected by copyright unless stated otherwise. You may:

view, save, and print pages for personal or internal business use;
link to the site from your own site or documents;
quote short extracts with attribution to WoodCalcs.

You may not: republish substantial extracts, scrape at scale for training commercial AI systems, or present the site’s content as your own.

6. Privacy

See our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy for how we handle personal data.

7. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms when the law, our services, or our practices change. The “last updated” date reflects the most recent revision.

8. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any dispute is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
