Terms of Service

Introduction

Welcome to GreenLifeDiary (“we,” “our,” or “us”). These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of greenlifediary.com and all of its household-sustainability calculators, guides, and related features (together, the “Service”). By using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

Acceptance and Changes

By accessing or using GreenLifeDiary, you confirm that you have read and accept these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which forms part of them. We may update these Terms at any time; continued use after a change means you accept the current version.

Educational Estimates, Not Professional Advice

The Service exists to give general, educational estimates. The home-energy, carbon-footprint, water-usage, solar-payback, recycling-diversion, and food-waste calculators apply standard published formulas and emission factors to the numbers you enter; their results are planning aids, not a personalised energy audit, financial projection, or engineering assessment, and not a promise of any outcome. GreenLifeDiary is not a utility, a solar installer, an energy auditor, or a financial adviser. For anything that affects your money or your home — a solar purchase, an appliance decision, a utility plan — rely on a qualified professional rather than this Service.

What the Service Provides

GreenLifeDiary offers, free of charge:

• A home energy savings and appliance-cost calculator
• A household carbon footprint estimator
• A home water usage calculator
• A solar-panel payback calculator
• A recycling diversion rate calculator, and a food-waste cost calculator
• Educational guides, a Learn section, and an illustrated Sustainability Museum

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time.

Your Responsibilities

When you use the Service, you agree to:

• Use the tools in good faith for your own personal household planning
• Enter accurate figures, and check the wattage, rate, mileage, and weight fields before relying on a result
• Take responsibility for the decisions you make, and confirm anything material with a qualified professional
• Not attempt to disrupt, overload, scrape, or reverse-engineer the Service
• Not use the Service for any unlawful purpose or to infringe others’ rights

Assumption of Risk

Home-improvement, energy, and appliance choices carry real financial consequences. You use the information on this Service at your own risk and remain solely responsible for deciding whether a given upgrade, purchase, or plan is right for you. Always confirm figures that matter with your utility, a licensed installer, or a qualified energy, tax, or financial adviser over anything here.

No Warranty

The Service is provided “as is.” While we aim for accuracy, we make no warranties, express or implied, that calculations are error-free or fit for your particular purpose, and we disclaim implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, GreenLifeDiary and its suppliers will not be liable for any damages — including financial loss, higher-than-expected bills, or loss of data — arising from your use of, or inability to use, the Service, even if advised of the possibility of such damage.

Intellectual Property

The site’s original text, design, and calculator code are the property of GreenLifeDiary and protected by copyright. Museum and Learn material sourced from Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons remains under its original licenses. You may use the tools for personal, non-commercial purposes; you may not copy or repurpose the site’s materials for commercial use without permission.

Third-Party Links and Advertising

The Service may link to third-party sites and displays advertising through networks such as Google AdSense. We do not control or endorse third-party content, and using any linked site or advertised product is at your own risk.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States, and you submit to the courts of that jurisdiction for any dispute.
