Terms of Service
The site is free and provided "as is", with no warranty as to results; decisions made from those results, and their consequences, are yours.
- Effective
- Not set
These terms cover your use of every tool, calculation and piece of content in Aqua Toolbox ("the site"). Using the site means you accept them. If you do not, simply stop using it — there is no account relationship to unwind.
The limits of the calculations are described in more detail in the Safety Disclaimer, which is the part of these terms most relevant to your safety.
1What the service is
The site provides, free of charge: parametric tank design, glass thickness and water-weight conversions, sump compartment layout, aluminium profile selection with a mechanics check, and a per-panel cut list with a hardware list. All calculation happens locally in your browser. No registration is required and no network connection is needed after the page has loaded.
2Licence and your output
- The code is released under the MIT licence. You may use, modify and redistribute it, provided the original copyright notice is retained.
- Your output — the CSV and PNG files produced by the export buttons, along with the dimensions and lists shown on the page — belongs to you. Use it for construction or commercial purposes without asking us.
- Free of charge. There are currently no paid features. If that ever changes it will be stated prominently, and it will not affect output you already obtained.
3No warranty
The site is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and accuracy of calculation. We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted or error-free, nor that any result suits your specific situation.
4Your responsibility
- The output is an engineering estimate. It helps you reach a sensible starting design quickly; it does not replace professional structural design, fabrication review or on-site measurement.
- Before ordering glass, cutting panels or welding a stand from these results, verify the critical dimensions and selections yourself. Large tanks, high water levels, unbraced panels and unknown floor capacity deserve a professional review.
- Any decision and any consequence arising from your use, or inability to use, the site is yours.
5Acceptable use
- Do not scrape the site at high frequency or otherwise interfere with other visitors;
- Do not remove, obscure or falsify the safety notes and disclaimers on these pages;
- Do not present the output as if it carried the authority of an official or industry standard.
6Intellectual property
The name "Aqua Toolbox / 水族工具箱" and its mark belong to the operator. The page copy, interface design and the curated atlas data belong to the operator or their respective rights holders; the scope of the content licence is [to be filled: content licence scope]. Species parameters in the atlas are compiled from public aquarium literature, and we claim no exclusive right over the underlying facts.
7Third-party material
Some content references public literature and manufacturer datasheets (for example profile section properties and mass per metre). The accuracy of that material is its publisher's responsibility. We are not liable for errors in, or changes to, third-party material. The site carries no third-party advertising.
8Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by the laws of [to be filled: governing jurisdiction], the site and its authors and contributors are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, including but not limited to tank failure, leakage, water damage, property loss, loss of business and personal injury.
9Changes and termination
We may modify, suspend or discontinue any part of the service at any time. When these terms change, the effective date at the top of this page changes with them. Because there are no accounts, terminating the service involves no account data.
10Governing law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of [to be filled: governing jurisdiction]. Disputes arising from them should first be raised with us directly; if unresolved, they go to [to be filled: court or arbitration body].
Must be filled before launch
The following facts are known only to the deployer, so they are placeholders in this repository. The operator identity, contact address and governing law in a legal document have to be true — inventing them is worse than leaving them blank, which is why they are shown here instead of buried in a comment.
