Terms of Service
By using Satellite Area Calculator (the "site"), you agree to the terms below. If you don't agree, please don't use the site. These terms exist mainly to set expectations and protect both parties — they aren't trying to be clever.
1. Use of the service
The site is provided free of charge for personal and commercial use. You may use the calculator to measure areas, distances, and perimeters on satellite imagery for any lawful purpose. You may share screenshots or measurement results with attribution to the site if that's useful to you.
2. No warranty
The site and its measurements are provided "as is," without warranty of any kind. While we use Google's spherical geometry library and best-effort calculations, the accuracy of any individual measurement depends on the resolution of the underlying imagery, your precision in placing points, and the geographic location of the shape. Measurements should be treated as estimates suitable for planning purposes — not as legal or surveyed records.
3. Not a substitute for a survey
Do not use this tool for legal property boundaries, building permits, easement disputes, flood-zone determinations, or any context where a professional land survey is required. Hire a licensed surveyor for those.
4. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Attempt to reverse-engineer, scrape, or systematically download the site's content or underlying APIs
- Use the site to violate the rights of others, including privacy and intellectual property rights
- Submit content (via the AI assistant or any future input fields) that is illegal, abusive, or designed to exploit the service
- Disrupt the site's operation, attempt to overload our infrastructure, or interfere with other users
5. Third-party services
The site relies on Google Maps Platform, OpenAI, and other third-party services. Your use of features powered by those services is also subject to their respective terms. We do not control and are not responsible for third-party services.
6. Intellectual property
The site's name, design, written content, and source code are owned by the site operator. Satellite imagery and map data are owned by their respective providers. You may not copy written guides or articles wholesale; brief quotations with attribution and a link back are welcome.
7. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the site operator is not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising from your use of the site or reliance on its measurements. If you cannot accept this limitation, please don't use the site.
8. Changes
We may update these terms occasionally. Material changes will be reflected in the "last updated" date above. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated terms.
9. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any disputes will be handled in the courts of the operator's jurisdiction.
