Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of terms

By accessing or using CalcGrain (“we”, “us”, “our”, or the “Site”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree, you must not use the Site. These Terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who access the Site.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction) to use the Site. By using CalcGrain, you represent that you meet this requirement. Alcohol- and ETG-related calculators are provided for educational purposes only and are not intended for minors.

3. Our services

CalcGrain provides free online calculators, reference tables, guides, and blog articles related to:

• Driving license demerit (penalty) points
• License suspension risk estimates
• Insurance premium impact estimates
• Points expiry timelines
• Educational alcohol, BAC, ETG, hair, and PEth testing estimates

We may add, modify, or remove features at any time without notice. We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability of the Site.

4. Informational disclaimer — not professional advice

CalcGrain is not a law firm, government agency, insurance company, or medical provider. All content — including calculator outputs, charts, guides, FAQs, and blog posts — is provided for general informational and educational purposes only.

Nothing on this Site constitutes:

• Legal advice or a substitute for consultation with a licensed attorney
• Official guidance from any DMV, DVLA, provincial licensing authority, or court
• Insurance advice, binding quotes, or underwriting decisions
• Medical advice, laboratory results, or instructions for alcohol testing programs

Do not rely on CalcGrain outputs when deciding whether to drive, whether to submit to a test, how to respond in court, or how to purchase insurance. Always consult qualified professionals and official sources.

5. Accuracy and updates

Traffic laws, point schedules, insurance rating methods, and laboratory cutoff standards change frequently and vary by jurisdiction. While we make reasonable efforts to keep content current and aligned with published guidelines, we do not warrant that any calculator output, violation table, or article is accurate, complete, or up to date for your specific situation.

You are solely responsible for verifying information with your local licensing authority, insurer, attorney, or testing program before acting on it.

6. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use the Site for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable law
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems, admin panel, or databases
• Scrape, crawl, or bulk-download Site content, data, or calculator logic without written permission
• Republish, resell, or sublicense our content or tools as your own product without authorization
• Interfere with the Site’s operation, including introducing malware or excessive automated requests
• Misrepresent CalcGrain outputs as official government, legal, or medical determinations
• Use ETG or BAC tools to attempt to evade testing, driving laws, or program requirements

We reserve the right to restrict access to any user who violates these Terms.

7. Intellectual property

All Site content — including design, branding, text, calculator logic, charts, guides, and blog posts — is owned by CalcGrain or its licensors and protected by applicable copyright and intellectual property laws.

You may link to our public pages with proper attribution. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works from our content without prior written consent, except as permitted by fair use or applicable law.

8. Third-party links, advertising & analytics

The Site may contain links to third-party websites and may display advertisements served by third-party networks (including Google AdSense when configured). Analytics (such as Google Analytics 4) may be used to measure aggregate traffic. Both ads and analytics respect your cookie consent choices where required by law.

We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or policies of third parties. Your use of third-party services is governed by their own terms and policies.

See our Privacy Policy for how analytics and advertising partners may collect data.

9. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, CalcGrain and its owners, operators, affiliates, and contributors shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to:

• License suspension, revocation, or legal penalties
• Insurance premium increases, policy cancellation, or claim denials
• Financial loss, lost profits, or business interruption
• Testing outcomes, employment actions, or program violations
• Any decisions made based on information from the Site

The Site is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless CalcGrain and its operators from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the Site, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any third-party rights.

11. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Site at any time, without notice, for conduct that we believe violates these Terms or is harmful to other users or the Site. Sections that by nature should survive termination (disclaimers, liability limits, indemnity, governing law) will survive.

12. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which CalcGrain operates, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute shall be resolved in the courts of that jurisdiction, unless otherwise required by mandatory consumer protection law in your country of residence.

13. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page indicates when changes were last published. Continued use of the Site after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
