Legal
Terms of service
The short version: use the site in good faith, don't break things, and don't rely on us for professional advice.
1. Acceptance of terms
By accessing or using Free Tool Arena, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you don’t agree to any part of these terms, please stop using the site. These terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who access the service.
2. Description of service
Free Tool Arena provides free, browser-based calculators, converters, generators, and informational guides across topics including finance, productivity, health, design, and software development. All tools execute client-side in your browser; we don’t maintain a backend that stores user inputs.
3. Use of the site
You may use Free Tool Arena for personal or business purposes free of charge, subject to these terms. You agree to:
- Use the site in compliance with applicable laws.
- Not scrape, mirror, or systematically reproduce site content without written permission.
- Not embed, redistribute, or resell the tools as part of your own commercial product without licensing.
- Not interfere with the site’s operation, attempt to gain unauthorized access, or transmit malware or harmful code.
- Not use automated systems (bots, scrapers, crawlers) to access the site at volumes that exceed normal human use, except for standard search-engine indexing.
4. Informational use only — no professional advice
The calculators, converters, and guides on Free Tool Arena are provided for general informational purposes only. They are not intended to substitute for professional advice. Specifically:
- Financial calculators (mortgage, loan, tax, investment) are not financial advice. Consult a Certified Public Accountant (CPA), Certified Financial Planner (CFP), or licensed financial advisor for decisions affecting your financial position.
- Legal templates (contracts, demand letters, policy generators) are not legal advice. Consult a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction before using them for legal matters.
- Health and fitness tools (BMI, calorie, dosage, symptom-related) are not medical advice. Consult a licensed physician, registered dietitian, or other qualified healthcare provider before making health decisions.
- Tax tools are not tax advice. Tax laws change frequently and vary by jurisdiction. Consult a qualified tax professional.
5. Accuracy and updates
We make reasonable efforts to keep tool calculations accurate and guides current. However, we make no guarantees that all information is correct, complete, or up to date. Rates, regulations, prices, and best practices change. Always verify critical numbers against authoritative sources (IRS, HMRC, manufacturer specifications, peer-reviewed studies) before relying on them. Spotted an error? Tell us — corrections are addressed promptly.
6. No warranty
THE SITE AND ALL TOOLS, GUIDES, AND CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR COURSE OF PERFORMANCE. We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of viruses or other harmful components.
7. Limitation of liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL Free Tool Arena, ITS OPERATORS, OR ITS CONTRIBUTORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, RESULTING FROM (a) YOUR USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE SITE; (b) ANY UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS OR USE OF THE SITE; (c) ANY ERRORS OR INACCURACIES IN CONTENT; OR (d) ANY OTHER MATTER RELATING TO THE SITE.
For users in jurisdictions where the above limitation is not permitted, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.
8. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Free Tool Arena and its operators from any claim, demand, loss, or damages, including reasonable attorney fees, arising out of or related to (a) your breach of these terms, (b) your use of the site in violation of applicable law, or (c) your infringement of any third-party rights.
9. Intellectual property
The site, including all original content, software code, design, graphics, and the compilation thereof, is owned by Free Tool Arena or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. You may:
- Quote short passages (under 50 words) from articles with attribution and a link back to the source page.

10. DMCA copyright policy
We respect the intellectual property rights of others. If you believe content on Free Tool Arena infringes your copyright, send a DMCA takedown notice to hello@freetoolarena.com with subject line “DMCA Notice”. Include:
- A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or authorized agent.
- Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed.

We respond to valid DMCA notices by removing the infringing content. Counter-notices may be submitted by the original poster following the DMCA procedure.
11. User-submitted content
The site may include feedback forms, comment sections, or other user-contribution mechanisms. By submitting content, you grant Free Tool Arena a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use, modify, and display that content in connection with the service. You represent that submitted content does not infringe any third party’s rights and is not unlawful, defamatory, or harmful. We reserve the right to remove user-submitted content at our discretion.
12. Third-party links and services
The site may contain links to third-party websites and integrate third-party services (e.g., Google AdSense, Travelpayouts). We’re not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or terms of those third parties. Your interaction with linked sites is governed by their own policies. See our Privacy Policy for details on third-party services we integrate.
13. Termination
We may suspend or terminate access to the site (or specific tools) at any time, for any reason, without notice. You may stop using the site at any time. Provisions of these terms that by their nature should survive termination (intellectual property, warranty disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, governing law) shall survive.
14. Governing law and dispute resolution
These terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the operator’s home jurisdiction, without regard to conflict-of-law provisions. Any dispute arising from or relating to these terms or your use of the site shall first be addressed through good-faith informal negotiation. If unresolved within 30 days, disputes shall be resolved through binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of a recognized arbitration body in the operator’s jurisdiction, except that either party may seek injunctive relief in court for matters involving intellectual property or unauthorized site access.
Class actions are waived to the extent permitted by law. Individual claims must be brought in the operator’s home jurisdiction or via arbitration as described above.
15. Severability
If any provision of these terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that the remaining terms remain in full force and effect.
16. Entire agreement
These terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any other policies referenced herein, constitute the entire agreement between you and Free Tool Arena regarding the use of the site and supersede any prior agreements.
17. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms occasionally. Material changes will be reflected in the “last updated” date above and, for significant updates, posted on the homepage for at least 14 days. Continued use of the site after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
