Terms and Conditions

Date: 20 June 2026

1. Acceptance and eligibility

These Terms and Conditions (the "Terms") are a binding agreement between you and the operator of AI Cost Calculator concerning your use of https://ai-costcalculator.com and its calculators, content, browser-based tools, and related features (collectively, the "Site"). By accessing or using the Site, you confirm that you have read and agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.

You must be legally capable of entering this agreement. If you use the Site for a company or other organization, you represent that you are authorized to accept these Terms for that organization, and "you" includes that organization. The Site is not directed to children under 13.

2. Estimates and your responsibility

Planning tools only

The Site provides calculators, comparisons, formulas, pricing references, guides, and explanatory content for general educational and planning purposes. Results are mathematical estimates based on the inputs, assumptions, formulas, and pricing data shown or described. They are not provider quotes, invoices, guarantees, forecasts, or promises of savings, performance, return on investment, availability, or suitability.

No professional advice

Nothing on the Site is financial, investment, legal, tax, accounting, procurement, cybersecurity, compliance, or other professional advice. The Site does not create an adviser-client, fiduciary, professional, employment, partnership, or agency relationship. Consult qualified professionals where your decision requires professional judgment.

Verify before relying

AI provider prices, model names, context limits, discounts, taxes, exchange rates, product terms, and service availability can change without notice. Your usage may differ materially from default assumptions because of retries, prompt design, cached tokens, tool calls, regional pricing, rate limits, data transfer, human review, and contractual discounts. You are responsible for checking current official provider information, testing with your own workloads, and deciding whether a result is suitable for your purpose.

Browser features

Saved scenarios are stored in your browser and may be lost when browser data is cleared, a device fails, or software changes. Shared URLs may expose the values encoded in them to recipients, browser history, analytics, server logs, or referrers. Do not include confidential, regulated, or personal information in calculator inputs or shared URLs.

3. Ownership and permitted use

The Site's design, text, original formulas and explanations, software, organization, branding, and other original materials are owned by or licensed to the Site operator and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. Provider names, model names, logos, and third-party materials remain the property of their respective owners.

Subject to these Terms, you receive a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access the Site and use its calculators and outputs for lawful personal or internal business planning. You may print or export results for those purposes and may link to public pages.

Unless we give written permission, you may not:

• copy, republish, sell, sublicense, or commercially redistribute substantial portions of the Site;
• remove copyright, attribution, trademark, or proprietary notices;
• frame or mirror the Site in a way that implies ownership, endorsement, or affiliation;
• use our branding, content, or layout to impersonate the Site or confuse users;
• extract or reproduce the Site as a competing database or calculator service beyond uses permitted by law.

If you believe material on the Site infringes copyright, follow our DMCA Copyright Policy.

4. Acceptable use

You agree to use the Site lawfully and not to:

• interfere with the Site, servers, networks, security controls, or another user's access;
• introduce malware, harmful code, denial-of-service traffic, or deceptive requests;
• attempt unauthorized access, vulnerability exploitation, credential theft, or circumvention of access controls;
• use automated traffic, scraping, or high-volume requests in a way that burdens the service or ignores technical restrictions;
• manipulate advertising impressions or clicks, generate invalid traffic, encourage others to click advertisements, or interfere with ad measurement;
• use the Site to violate privacy, intellectual-property, consumer-protection, export-control, sanctions, or other applicable laws;
• misrepresent Site outputs as verified quotes, guarantees, or professional advice;
• submit false copyright, abuse, or legal notices.

We may block requests, restrict access, remove content, preserve evidence, or cooperate with service providers and lawful authorities when reasonably necessary to protect the Site or enforce these Terms.

5. Feedback and communications

If you send feedback, corrections, suggestions, or other non-confidential ideas, you grant us a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, sublicensable license to use, reproduce, adapt, publish, and incorporate them into the Site without compensation or attribution. This does not transfer ownership of your pre-existing intellectual property and does not apply to personal information, which is handled under the Privacy Policy.

Do not send confidential information or material you lack authority to share. You represent that your submissions are accurate to the best of your knowledge, lawful, yours to share, and do not infringe another person's rights. Email delivery is not guaranteed, and a message does not create a professional or contractual relationship unless we expressly agree in writing.

6. Third-party services, links, trademarks, and advertising

The Site references and links to AI providers, pricing pages, analytics services, advertising services, and other third parties. We do not control their products, pricing, security, availability, content, or terms. A link or comparison does not mean endorsement. You use third-party services at your own risk and under their agreements.

OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Gemini, Claude, and other names and marks belong to their respective owners. Unless explicitly stated, AI Cost Calculator is independent and is not affiliated with, authorized by, endorsed by, or sponsored by any provider mentioned.

The Site may display advertising supplied by Google products or other networks and may include clearly disclosed affiliate links or sponsorships. Advertisements do not constitute our endorsement of an advertiser or offer. Advertisers are responsible for their claims, products, fulfillment, privacy practices, and legal compliance. Your interactions with advertisers are between you and the advertiser. See our Advertising Policy and Privacy Policy.

7. Availability and disclaimer of warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Site is provided "as is" and "as available". We disclaim all express, implied, statutory, and other warranties, including warranties of accuracy, completeness, currency, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, security, uninterrupted availability, and freedom from harmful components.

We do not warrant that calculations will be error-free, that data will remain current, that saved browser data will persist, that external links will work, that advertisements will be suitable, or that the Site will meet your requirements. We may change formulas, content, models, features, or availability at any time. Maintenance, provider failures, attacks, Internet conditions, or other events may interrupt access.

Some jurisdictions do not permit certain warranty exclusions. In those jurisdictions, exclusions apply only to the extent permitted by law. Nothing in these Terms excludes non-waivable consumer rights.

8. Limitation of liability and indemnity

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Site operator and its contributors, service providers, and affiliates will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, punitive, or consequential damages; lost profits, revenue, savings, data, goodwill, contracts, or business opportunities; procurement costs; service interruptions; or decisions made using Site content, even if advised that such loss was possible.

Where liability cannot be excluded completely, aggregate liability arising from or relating to the Site or these Terms will be limited to the greater of the amount you paid us to use the Site during the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim or USD 100, except where applicable law requires a different remedy or limit. The Site is generally provided without charge.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Site operator and its contributors and service providers from claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, losses, and reasonable costs arising from your unlawful use of the Site, violation of these Terms, violation of another person's rights, or submissions you provide. This obligation applies only to the extent permitted by law.

9. Disputes and general provisions

These Terms are governed by the laws that apply to the Site operator, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, except that mandatory consumer protections in your place of residence remain available where they cannot be waived. Before filing a claim, you agree to contact us and make a good-faith effort to resolve the dispute informally. Courts with lawful jurisdiction over the operator and dispute may hear unresolved claims.

If a provision is invalid or unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum lawful extent and the remaining provisions will continue. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them as part of a reorganization, financing, sale, or transfer of the Site. Headings are for convenience. These Terms, together with incorporated policies, are the entire agreement concerning use of the Site and supersede earlier understandings on that subject.

10. Changes and termination

We may revise these Terms when the Site, law, or business practices change. The date at the top identifies the current version. Changes apply prospectively when posted unless a later date is stated. Continued use after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms to the extent permitted by law.

We may suspend or terminate access to all or part of the Site at any time, including for security, maintenance, legal compliance, or suspected violation. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination, including ownership, disclaimers, liability limitations, indemnity, and dispute provisions, will survive.
