Legal terms
Terms of Use
These Terms of Use govern your access to Body Type Calculator and its guides, charts, comparison pages, and browser-based measurement tools. The site is provided as an educational and informational resource. It is not a medical service, not a custom tailoring service, and not a substitute for professional advice that depends on your personal situation.

Overview and Acceptance
By accessing or using Body Type Calculator, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, do not use the site. These terms apply to the homepage calculator, supporting guides, measurement charts, comparison pages, and any related content or features published under the same site.
We write these terms to match the reality of the product. This is a static, browser-driven information site. It does not offer user accounts, medical diagnosis, or guaranteed sizing outcomes. It does provide educational content, front-end calculators, shareable result pages, and measurement tools intended to help users understand proportion patterns. Your use of the site should be understood in that context.
These terms apply whether you use the site casually, for personal wardrobe planning, for educational research, or for professional reference. Some users may have additional rights under consumer or data protection laws that cannot be waived by contract. Nothing in these terms is intended to take away any non-waivable rights you may have under applicable law.
Eligibility and Responsible Use
You may use the site only if you are able to form a binding agreement under the law that applies to you. If you are using the site on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these terms. If you are under the age at which contracts are enforceable where you live, use the site only with appropriate supervision and only for informational purposes.
You are responsible for how you use the information the site provides. That responsibility includes choosing how much personal information to enter into a tool, whether to share a result URL, whether to rely on a measurement guide for a particular use case, and whether to seek professional advice where the stakes are higher than a general educational tool can support.
Educational Use Only
The site is provided for educational, informational, and general fit-guidance purposes. It is designed to help users understand how body-shape categories are commonly described, how a few measurement ratios interact, and how different guides or charts may be used for shopping, tailoring, or self-tracking.
Nothing on the site should be interpreted as a promise that a body-type label fully describes you, that a result will match how every brand cuts clothing, or that a measurement guideline will produce a perfectly tailored outcome in every case. Human bodies vary widely, clothing standards vary widely, and categories that are useful in one context can become too blunt in another. The site tries to explain these limitations, but the legal point is simple: informational tools are not guarantees.
If you are using the site in a professional setting such as wardrobe consulting, coaching, publishing, or education, you remain responsible for how you interpret and present the outputs. Do not represent the site’s simplified calculator outputs as if they were formal certifications, professional diagnoses, or exhaustive assessments.
No Medical, Nutrition, or Mental Health Advice
Body Type Calculator does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, nutrition counseling, mental health support, or emergency services. Some pages discuss body-fat distribution, waist-to-hip ratio, or general health context because those concepts exist in public health literature, but that context is not a substitute for a qualified clinician who can interpret your personal history and risk profile.
If you have a health concern, a condition affected by weight or body composition, a history of disordered eating, or a situation where body measurements are emotionally or medically sensitive, do not rely on the site as your only source of guidance. Use professional care where appropriate. The site is not built to carry that level of responsibility.
Accuracy and Limitations
We aim for clear, repeatable methodology, but no calculator or guide on the site is perfect. Results depend on the quality of the measurements entered, the consistency of the measurement method, the limitations of the classification model, the device and browser rendering the page, and the context in which you interpret the result.
Measurement-based body-shape classification is a practical simplification. It does not capture every anatomical feature, posture difference, or style preference. Two users with similar measurements may still look very different in clothes. A result can also shift with small changes in tape placement, muscle gain, weight change, or the decision to include or exclude optional fields like high hip or shoulders. For that reason, you should treat outputs as tools for thinking, not verdicts.
We do not warrant that every page is error-free, uninterrupted, always current, or suitable for every possible use case. We welcome corrections and updates, but legal responsibility for judging whether a result is fit for your particular purpose remains with you.
Permitted Use
Subject to these terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, revocable right to access and use the site for personal, educational, editorial, or internal reference purposes. That includes using the tools in a browser, reading the guides, bookmarking pages, sharing page links, and citing the site in a way that fairly represents what the relevant page actually says.
You may also use the site as a starting point for your own thinking, classroom discussion, or wardrobe planning. We do not object to ordinary browsing, citation, or reasonable personal note-taking. The point of the site is to be used.
Prohibited Use
You may not use the site in a way that is unlawful, abusive, deceptive, or technically harmful. That includes trying to disrupt the service, probing it for vulnerabilities without permission, sending automated traffic that materially degrades availability, or misrepresenting the site as your own service.
You may not copy, mirror, or republish substantial portions of the site as if they were original to you, especially in a way that strips attribution or reuses the content as a competing landing-page network. You may not use the site’s text, code, or visuals to train or seed misleading clones that imply a false affiliation with us.
You should also avoid sharing result URLs if doing so would expose personal information you did not mean to disclose. Some tools can place result data in the address bar. That is a user-visible feature, but it is still your responsibility to decide whether it is appropriate to share the link.
Intellectual Property and Limited License
Unless otherwise stated, the site’s page copy, visual layouts, design treatments, calculator code, diagrams, and compilation of content are protected by applicable intellectual property laws. These terms do not transfer ownership of that material to you. They only grant the limited usage rights described above.
You may quote short passages for commentary, criticism, research, or similar fair uses where the law permits, but you should not reproduce entire pages, scrape the site into a competing product, or remove identifying references and present the material as your own work. If you want broader reuse or licensing, contact us first.
User Communications and Feedback
If you email us with questions, corrections, bug reports, or general feedback, you grant us permission to review and use that feedback to operate and improve the site. That does not mean we acquire ownership of your personal data or that we can ignore the Privacy Policy. It means, more simply, that if you tell us a sentence is unclear or a chart label is wrong, we can use that feedback to revise the page.
Do not send confidential information you do not want stored in ordinary correspondence unless you are comfortable with the risks of email communication. If a matter is especially sensitive, limit the detail to what is necessary for us to understand the request.
Third-Party Links and Resources
The site may include links to third-party pages, datasets, or resources for reference. It also loads web fonts from Google Fonts. We do not control third-party sites or external privacy practices, and we are not responsible for the content, security, or availability of those third-party resources.
If you click a third-party link or your browser requests a third-party resource, your interaction with that provider is governed by that provider’s own terms and policies. Review them if the third-party interaction matters to you.
Disclaimer of Warranties
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the site is provided “as is” and “as available.” We disclaim warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and accuracy, except where such disclaimers are not allowed by law.
We do not promise that the site will always be available, that pages will never contain errors, that a specific output will match your expectations, or that using the site will produce a specific shopping, tailoring, or health-related outcome. A browser-based guide can reduce confusion; it cannot remove all judgment from the underlying decisions.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages arising out of or related to your use of the site. We also will not be liable for lost profits, lost data, business interruption, emotional distress, or purchasing decisions made in reliance on the site’s general educational content, except where liability cannot be limited by law.
If a court or authority determines that some liability cannot be excluded, our liability will be limited to the minimum scope permitted by applicable law. In plain language: this is a free informational site, and its outputs should be used with that level of caution.
Indemnity
If your misuse of the site, violation of these terms, or unlawful conduct causes claims or costs against us, you agree, to the extent permitted by law, to indemnify and hold us harmless from those claims, losses, and expenses. This clause is not meant to punish ordinary users; it exists to address abusive, deceptive, or unlawful use of the site.
Changes to the Site and These Terms
We may update, suspend, or discontinue parts of the site at any time. We may also revise these terms as the site evolves. The most likely reasons would be new features, changes to third-party integrations, expanded licensing programs, or legal clarification about how the site is used.
When we update the terms, we will change the “Last updated” date on this page. Your continued use of the site after the updated terms are posted means you accept the revised terms.
Disputes and Applicable Law
If you believe there is a dispute relating to the site or these terms, contact us first at [email protected]. Many issues can be resolved informally through clarification, correction, or removal of problematic material.
If an issue cannot be resolved informally, it will be handled in the forum and under the law permitted by the applicable legal rules governing the dispute. Nothing in these terms waives any mandatory rights or remedies you may have under consumer protection or other laws that apply to you.
