Terms of Service

Last Updated: July 9, 2026

IMPORTANT LEGAL DISCLAIMER: YardQuote AI is an independent, open-source software application. It is not a licensed general contracting firm, architectural service, or construction business.

1. Nature of the Service

YardQuote AI provides a digital cost modeling engine designed to estimate potential yard project ranges based on generalized public material indexes, regional labor baselines, and geometric formulas. All outputs are strictly educational and simulation-based.

2. No Binding Quotes or Warranties

The mathematical models simulated by this tool do not constitute binding commercial quotes, final bids, or legal architectural advice. Local supply chains, exact soil properties, localized contractor availability, and fluctuating lumber or concrete market index rates will cause real-world project costs to deviate from any automated estimate.

3. Independent Operation

We maintain absolute independence. We do not act as an agent or middleman for local contractors. Users are encouraged to cross-reference our open-source structural baseline simulations with verified local professionals before executing any physical building contracts.

4. Limitation of Liability

The independent data engineers and developers behind YardQuote AI shall not be held liable for any financial decisions, budgetary allocations, materials purchased, or contractor disputes arising from the use of data provided by this calculation engine.

5. Acceptable Use

This calculator is free to use for individual homeowners and independent estimators. Automated scraping or commercial redistribution of our algorithmic calculations without proper attribution is prohibited.
