Terms of Service

Introduction

Welcome to TinyLegal (“we,” “our,” or “us”). These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of our website at tinylegal.com and all associated legal-information tools, calculators, and services (collectively, the “Service”).

By accessing or using our Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you disagree with any part of these terms, then you may not access the Service.

Acceptance of Terms

By accessing, browsing, or using TinyLegal, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference.

We reserve the right to update or modify these Terms at any time without prior notice. Your continued use of the Service after any such changes constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms.

Not Legal Advice

TinyLegal is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. Our content and tools are for general information and education only. Using the Service does not create an attorney–client relationship. Laws, deadlines, fees, and procedures differ by jurisdiction and change over time, so the Service never tells you what the law is where you live. Our calculators operate only on the numbers, rates, and time limits you enter; you are responsible for supplying figures that match the law that governs your matter. For advice about your specific situation, consult a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction, and never rely on this Service to protect a legal deadline. See our Disclaimer for details.

Description of Service

TinyLegal provides free, plain-English legal-information tools and educational resources, including:

• Statute of limitations deadline calculator
• Small claims cost & recovery estimator
• Contract notice period date calculator
• Security deposit return deadline tracker
• Business registration cost estimator and plain-language scorer
• Educational articles, explainers, and reference content

All tools are provided free of charge. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time.

User Responsibilities

Appropriate Use

Users of our tools and website agree to:

• Use the tools in good faith and for legitimate personal, informational purposes
• Provide accurate information, and figures that match the law of your jurisdiction, when using our calculators
• Not attempt to disrupt or compromise the website’s functionality
• Not use automated systems to access our tools excessively

Consult an Attorney When Needed

You are responsible for using your own judgment, and for seeking advice from a licensed attorney, before making important decisions about a claim, contract, notice, deposit, business formation, or other legal matter. Our tools are designed to assist and inform, not to replace legal advice or your own judgment.

Tool Accuracy and Disclaimers

Calculation Accuracy

Our calculators and tools are provided for informational and educational purposes only. While we strive for accuracy, we cannot guarantee that all calculations will be error-free or suitable for your specific needs. Results are calculations based on the figures you enter; actual outcomes depend on the law of your jurisdiction, the facts of your matter, and individual circumstances.

No Guarantee of Results

TinyLegal makes no warranties, expressed or implied, and disclaims all other warranties including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement of intellectual property or other violation of rights.

Legal Decisions

Our content and tools are general information only and are not a substitute for advice from a licensed attorney. Statutes of limitations, court fees, deposit return windows, and registration costs vary by jurisdiction and change over time. Always treat results as a rough planning aid, not a guarantee, use your own judgment, and confirm the applicable rules and deadlines with an official source or an attorney before you act.

Intellectual Property Rights

All content on this website, including but not limited to text, graphics, logos, tools, calculators, and software, is the property of TinyLegal or its content suppliers and is protected by applicable copyright laws.

You may use our tools for personal, non-commercial purposes only. Under this license you may not modify or copy the website materials, use them for any commercial purpose or public display, attempt to reverse engineer any software, or remove any copyright or proprietary notations.

Privacy and Data Protection

Your use of our website and tools is also governed by our Privacy Policy. All tool calculations happen in your browser and are not transmitted to us.

Limitation of Liability

In no event shall TinyLegal or its suppliers be liable for any damages (including, without limitation, damages for loss of data, a missed deadline, a lost claim, or other legal or financial loss) arising out of the use or inability to use the materials on TinyLegal’s website or tools, even if TinyLegal or an authorized representative has been notified orally or in writing of the possibility of such damage.

Third-Party Links

TinyLegal has not reviewed all of the sites linked to its website and is not responsible for the contents of any such linked site. The inclusion of any link does not imply endorsement by TinyLegal. Use of any such linked website is at your own risk.

• To upload or transmit viruses or any other type of malicious code
• To collect or track the personal information of others

Governing Law

These terms and conditions are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States, and you irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in that jurisdiction.
