Terms of use

1. Not medical advice

Everything on TDEENet is general information. It is not medical advice, diagnosis or treatment, and it does not create a clinician and patient relationship. The calculator produces estimates from published population equations. It knows nothing about your medical history, your medication, your thyroid function, whether you are pregnant, or anything else a clinician would establish before advising you.

Always consult a qualified healthcare professional before making significant changes to your diet or exercise, and never disregard or delay professional medical advice because of something you read here. If you think you are having a medical emergency, contact your local emergency services.

2. Accuracy

We take reasonable care to keep the calculator and the content accurate and current, and we cite our sources so you can check them. We do not warrant that the site is error-free, complete or suitable for any particular purpose. Prediction equations carry meaningful error even when implemented correctly, as the accuracy section explains.

3. Acceptable use

You may use this site for personal, non-commercial purposes. You may not scrape it at a rate that degrades service for others, attempt to breach its security, reproduce substantial parts of its content without permission, or represent its output as professional medical guidance.

4. Intellectual property

The text, design, code and original graphics on this site are owned by [legal entity name] and protected by copyright. The underlying equations are published science and belong to nobody. You are welcome to quote short passages with attribution and a link. Republishing whole pages requires written permission.

5. Third-party links

We link to external sites, mainly PubMed and health authorities. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content, accuracy or practices. Outbound reference links carry a nofollow attribute and do not imply endorsement.

6. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, [legal entity name] is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss arising from your use of this site, including any decision you make about food, exercise or health based on its output. Nothing in these terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be excluded. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions, so parts of this clause may not apply to you.

7. Availability

The site is provided as is and as available. We may change, suspend or discontinue any part of it at any time without notice.

8. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. The current version is always at this address, with its date shown at the top of the page. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the revised terms.

9. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of [jurisdiction], and the courts of [jurisdiction] have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute, subject to any mandatory consumer protections in your country of residence.
