Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of terms

These Terms of Service (the "Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you (the "User" or "you") and meyy.info (the "Site", "we", "us", or "our"), governing your access to and use of the Site and any content, tools, calculators, guides, and services available through the Site (collectively, the "Service"). By accessing, browsing, or otherwise using the Site, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms in their entirety. If you do not agree to be bound by these Terms, you may not access or use the Site and should discontinue use immediately.

These Terms apply to all visitors regardless of whether you have registered an account (the Site does not currently require or offer accounts) and regardless of how you access the Site — via a web browser, mobile device, automated tool, or otherwise. By using the Site, you also agree to our Privacy Policy and our Cookie Policy, which are incorporated into these Terms by reference. You also acknowledge that you have read and understood our Disclaimer, which sets out important limitations on the scope and reliability of the content on the Site.

If you are using the Site on behalf of an organisation — for example, as an employee, contractor, or agent — you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that organisation to these Terms, and the term "you" in these Terms refers to both you as an individual and to the organisation on whose behalf you are acting.

You represent and warrant that you are at least 13 years of age (or the age of digital consent in your jurisdiction, if higher) and, if you are under 18, that you have the consent of a parent or legal guardian to use the Site and to be bound by these Terms. The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. See our Privacy Policy for our COPPA compliance position.

2. Description of service

Meyy.info is a free, advertising-supported educational website that publishes pricing calculators and rate-setting guides for freelancers, makers, and small businesses. As of the date of these Terms, the Service includes: (a) a library of 36 free pricing calculators covering ten industries (photography, handmade and craft, food and bakery, freelance services, tutoring and teaching, beauty and wellness, home services, events and creative, and pricing fundamentals); (b) a library of 33 in-depth pricing guides; (c) supporting resources including our methodology page, editorial policy, corrections policy, pricing glossary, and about page; and (d) a contact channel for inquiries, corrections, and feedback.

The calculators on the Site run entirely in your browser using client-side JavaScript. The numbers you enter into any calculator are processed by your browser and are never transmitted to our servers. This means calculator inputs are not collected by us — see our Privacy Policy for the data we do and do not collect.

The Service is provided free of charge. We do not offer a paid tier, a premium subscription, or any paid upgrade. The Service is supported by display advertising served through Google AdSense and potentially other advertising networks in the future. Advertising on the Site is clearly labelled as "Advertisement" or "Sponsored" and is visually separated from editorial content. See our editorial policy for details on how advertising is kept separate from editorial content.

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service, in whole or in part, at any time and without notice. We may add or remove calculators, guides, features, or functionality. We may impose limits on certain features or restrict access to parts or all of the Service without notice or liability. We are not liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuance of the Service.

3. Intellectual property rights

The Site and its entire contents — including but not limited to the text, calculator formulas, JavaScript implementations, HTML structure, CSS styles, graphics, logos, icons, images, audio, video, articles, guides, glossary entries, and the selection and arrangement of the foregoing — are owned by meyy.info or its licensors and are protected by United States and international copyright, trademark, and other intellectual-property laws. The "Meyy" name and logo are trademarks of meyy.info. All other trademarks, service marks, and trade names appearing on the Site are the property of their respective owners.

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to access and use the Site for your personal, non-commercial use. You may read the guides, run the calculators, and print or download a single copy of any page for your personal reference. You may not: (a) reproduce, republish, redistribute, or otherwise make the content available to third parties in any form or by any means, including by framing, scraping, crawling, or automated extraction; (b) modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works based on the Site or its content; (c) use the Site or its content for any commercial purpose without our prior written consent; (d) use any meta tags or other hidden text utilising our name or trademarks without our prior written consent; (e) remove or alter any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary-rights notice from any content; or (f) use the calculators' formulas or JavaScript implementations in a competing product or service.

The formulas, methodologies, and benchmark data published on the Site — including those documented on our methodology page — are made available for your personal educational use. Pricing formulas themselves (the mathematical relationships) are not subject to copyright protection, but the specific expression, explanation, code implementation, and benchmark compilation we publish are. You are free to use the underlying mathematical concepts in your own work, but you may not copy our specific written explanations, code, or benchmark compilations without attribution and our prior written consent.

If you believe that any content on the Site infringes your intellectual property rights, please email contact@meyy.info with the subject line "IP infringement notice" and provide the information required under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA): identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, identification of the allegedly infringing material on the Site (including the URL), your contact information, a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorised, and a statement under penalty of perjury that you are authorised to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

4. Acceptable use policy

You agree to use the Site only for lawful purposes and in a manner that does not infringe the rights of, restrict, or inhibit any other person from using or enjoying the Site. Prohibited conduct includes, without limitation:

• Using the Site in any way that violates any applicable local, state, national, or international law or regulation, or that violates the rights of any third party;
• Attempting to gain unauthorised access to the Site, to any other user's account, to our servers, or to any computer network or database connected to the Site;
• Interfering with or disrupting the operation of the Site, its servers, or the networks on which the Site is hosted — including by uploading or transmitting viruses, Trojan horses, worms, time bombs, cancelbots, or any other malicious code;
• Scraping, crawling, or otherwise extracting data from the Site by automated means without our prior written consent;
• Using the Site to send unsolicited commercial communications (spam) or to engage in any conduct that is defamatory, harassing, threatening, abusive, hateful, or otherwise objectionable;
• Impersonating any person or entity, or falsely stating or otherwise misrepresenting your affiliation with a person or entity;
• Forging headers or otherwise manipulating identifiers to disguise the origin of any content transmitted through the Site;
• Using the Site to advertise or offer to sell any goods or services without our prior written consent;
• Reproducing, duplicating, copying, selling, reselling, or exploiting any portion of the Site for any commercial purpose without our prior written consent;
• Reverse-engineering, decompiling, or disassembling any portion of the Site, except to the extent that such activity is expressly permitted by applicable law notwithstanding this limitation;
• Using the Site in any manner that could disable, overburden, damage, or impair the Site or interfere with any other party's use of the Site;
• Collecting or storing personal data of other users of the Site;
• Using the calculators' outputs to make fraudulent or misleading representations to third parties, including misrepresenting the basis on which a price was calculated.

We reserve the right to investigate suspected violations of this Acceptable Use Policy and to take any action we deem appropriate, including removing offending content, suspending or terminating access, reporting to law enforcement, and cooperating with regulatory or law-enforcement authorities. We may also block IP addresses, throttle requests, or implement rate limits to prevent abuse.

5. User responsibilities

You are solely responsible for your use of the Site and for any content you submit to us (for example, via the contact form). You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information when submitting the contact form or corresponding with us, and to update that information if it changes. You agree not to submit content that is unlawful, defamatory, infringing, harassing, threatening, or otherwise objectionable.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any device, browser, or network connection you use to access the Site, and for all activities that occur through your device or connection. If you become aware of any unauthorised use of your device or connection to access the Site, you agree to notify us immediately. We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from unauthorised access.

You are responsible for verifying the accuracy of any calculator output before relying on it. The calculators on the Site produce estimates based on the inputs you provide and the formulas documented on our methodology page. If you enter incorrect inputs, the calculator will produce incorrect outputs. If a benchmark used by a calculator is outdated, the calculator's output may be misleading. You are responsible for reviewing the worked examples and benchmark sources cited in the paired guide before acting on any calculator output. See our Disclaimer for the full scope of the limitations on the reliability of our content.

You are responsible for any decisions you make based on the content of the Site. The calculators and guides on the Site are educational tools, not professional advice. Pricing decisions affect your livelihood and the financial stability of your business. We strongly encourage you to consult a qualified professional — a CPA, attorney, small-business advisor, or SCORE mentor — before making significant pricing or business decisions. We are not responsible for any financial loss, business damage, or other harm you may suffer as a result of relying on the content of the Site.

6. Disclaimer of warranties

The Site and its content are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we, our affiliates, officers, employees, agents, licensors, and suppliers disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of viruses or other harmful components. We do not warrant that the calculator formulas, benchmark data, or other content on the Site are accurate, complete, current, or suitable for any particular purpose.

The content on the Site — including the calculator formulas, the benchmark figures, and the pricing guides — is provided for educational and informational purposes only. It is not professional advice. It is not financial advice, tax advice, legal advice, accounting advice, or business consulting advice. It is not a substitute for the advice of a qualified professional who is familiar with your specific situation. See our Disclaimer for a detailed explanation of what the content is and is not.

No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from the Site or from any of our team members creates any warranty not expressly stated in these Terms. Any reliance by you on the content of the Site is at your own risk.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation of certain types of damages. In those jurisdictions, the above exclusions apply to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

7. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall meyy.info, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, or suppliers be liable to you or to any third party for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages — including but not limited to damages for lost profits, lost revenue, lost business, lost data, business interruption, or the cost of substitute products or services — arising out of or in any way connected with your use of, or inability to use, the Site or its content, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), statute, or any other legal theory, whether or not we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the aggregate liability of meyy.info, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, and suppliers for any and all claims arising out of or in connection with your use of the Site or these Terms shall not exceed the greater of (a) the total amount you have paid to us for access to the Site in the twelve months preceding the claim, or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars ($100). Because the Site is provided free of charge, the limitation in (a) will typically be zero, and the limitation in (b) will apply.

You acknowledge that the limitations of liability and disclaimers of warranty in these Terms reflect a fair allocation of risk between you and us, that they are an essential basis of the bargain between us, and that without these limitations we would not be able to offer the Site free of charge. You acknowledge that pricing is a high-stakes decision and that acting on the content of the Site carries real financial risk that you alone bear.

8. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless meyy.info, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, and suppliers from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, expenses, and fees (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or in any way connected with: (a) your use of the Site; (b) your violation of these Terms; (c) your violation of any applicable law or the rights of any third party; (d) any content you submit to the Site, including via the contact form; or (e) any decision you make based on the content of the Site. We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defence and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which case you will cooperate with us in asserting any available defences. You may not settle any matter without our prior written consent.

9. Third-party links & content

The Site contains links to third-party websites and resources — including links to public sources cited in our guides (such as the U.S. Small Business Administration, the IRS, the Freelancers Union, the Professional Photographers of America, the National Restaurant Association, the American Translators Association, and platform fee schedules) and to third-party services used in the operation of the Site (such as Google AdSense, Google Fonts, and the Tailwind Play CDN). These links are provided for your convenience and do not signify that we endorse the third-party websites or their content.

We have no control over the content, privacy practices, or availability of third-party websites and resources. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or practices of any third-party site, and we make no representations or warranties about them. Your use of third-party sites is at your own risk and is subject to the terms and privacy policies of those sites. We encourage you to review the terms and privacy policies of any third-party site before using it.

The presence of advertising on the Site — including Google AdSense ads and any future ad-network ads — does not constitute an endorsement of the advertised products or services. We do not control which ads Google serves and do not necessarily agree with the claims made in those ads. If you see an ad on the Site that you believe is misleading, offensive, or otherwise inappropriate, please report it to contact@meyy.info and we will escalate it to the advertising network.

10. Changes to these terms

We may revise these Terms from time to time. The most current version will always be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. We will post a prominent notice on the homepage for at least 30 days before material changes take effect. Material changes include changes to the description of service, the acceptable use policy, the disclaimer of warranties, the limitation of liability, the indemnification clause, or the dispute-resolution provisions.

By continuing to access or use the Site after the effective date of any revised Terms, you agree to be bound by the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must discontinue use of the Site. We encourage you to review these Terms periodically.

If we make a material change that affects a section you have specifically asked to be notified about — for example, the limitation of liability or the dispute-resolution provisions — we will email you at the address you provided if you have asked to be notified of changes. To be added to the change-notification list, email contact@meyy.info with the subject line "Terms change notification".

11. Termination

You may terminate your use of the Site at any time by discontinuing access. Because the Site does not require accounts, no formal termination procedure is required — simply stop visiting the Site.

We may terminate or suspend your access to the Site at any time, without notice, for any reason — including if we believe you have violated these Terms or any applicable law, if we believe your conduct is harmful to the Site or to other users, or if we decide to discontinue the Site or any part of it. Upon termination, all licenses and rights granted to you under these Terms will immediately cease. We may also block specific IP addresses or user agents if we believe they are engaging in abusive behaviour.

The provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination — including the intellectual property provisions, the disclaimer of warranties, the limitation of liability, the indemnification clause, and the governing-law provisions — will survive any termination of your access to the Site.

12. Governing law & dispute resolution

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or in connection with them or with your use of the Site shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, United States of America, without giving effect to any conflict-of-laws principles. You and we submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Delaware for the resolution of any dispute.

Before initiating litigation, you and we agree to attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute through informal negotiation. You agree to send a written notice of the dispute to contact@meyy.info with the subject line "Dispute notice" and to allow 60 days for resolution before filing any claim. If the dispute is not resolved within 60 days, either party may initiate litigation in the courts described above.

If you are a consumer in the European Union, the United Kingdom, or Australia, you may also have rights under the mandatory consumer-protection laws of your country of residence, and nothing in these Terms limits any consumer-protection rights you may have that cannot be waived by contract. If you are located in the European Union, you may also use the European Commission's Online Dispute Resolution platform at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr to initiate a dispute.

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable, or if it cannot be so modified, it will be severed from these Terms, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

13. Miscellaneous

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and meyy.info with respect to your use of the Site and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications, proposals, and understandings, whether oral or written. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not operate as a waiver of that right or provision. We may assign these Terms, in whole or in part, at any time without notice. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent. Any attempted assignment in violation of this section is void.

These Terms do not create any agency, partnership, joint venture, employment, or fiduciary relationship between you and us. Except as expressly provided in these Terms, no third party is a beneficiary of these Terms. The section headings in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.

The Site is offered from the United States. We make no representation that the Site is appropriate or available for use in locations outside the United States. If you access the Site from outside the United States, you do so at your own risk and are responsible for compliance with applicable local laws. We may restrict access to the Site from certain jurisdictions at our discretion.
