Terms and Conditions

1. Acceptance of these Terms

These Terms and Conditions (the “Terms”) govern your use of HeartScoreCalculator.com and its calculators, articles, category pages, and related features (collectively, the “Site”). In these Terms, “Heart Score Calculator,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to the publisher and operator of the Site.

By accessing or using the Site, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy and Medical Disclaimer. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.

2. Educational and informational use only

The Site provides general educational information and mathematical estimates based on published formulas, user-supplied values, and stated assumptions. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, prognosis, prescribing, treatment, or emergency services.

Do not use a result to start, stop, or change a medicine, injection, supplement, diet, exercise program, or treatment plan without guidance from an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.

3. Calculator inputs, results, and limitations

Results depend on the accuracy, units, timing, and completeness of the information entered. A calculator may not account for every condition, medication, laboratory method, demographic factor, contraindication, or clinical circumstance relevant to an individual.

• Check that every value and unit is correct before interpreting a result.
• Read the formula, intended population, assumptions, and limitations shown on the relevant calculator page.
• Do not assume that a result applies to children, pregnancy, older adults, critically ill patients, or other special populations unless the page expressly states that it does.
• Confirm clinically important results with a qualified professional and, where appropriate, the original guideline or source.

We may correct, update, replace, or withdraw a formula or explanation as evidence and guidelines change.

4. No healthcare professional–patient relationship

Using the Site, contacting us, or receiving a calculator result does not create a doctor-patient, clinician-patient, pharmacist-patient, or other professional relationship. Content review or editorial attribution does not mean that a healthcare professional has evaluated your individual circumstances.

5. Your responsibilities

You are responsible for how you use the Site and for obtaining appropriate professional advice. You agree that you will:

• provide accurate inputs and use the requested measurement units;
• avoid entering another person’s private or identifying health information without lawful authority;
• not present a calculator result as a diagnosis, prescription, medical record, or guarantee;
• not rely on the Site as the sole basis for an urgent, medication, dosing, or treatment decision; and
• comply with applicable laws, professional duties, and institutional policies.

6. Minors and supervised use

The Site is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. A minor should use the Site only with the involvement of a parent, legal guardian, or qualified healthcare professional. Some tools are designed only for adults; always review the stated population before use.

7. Acceptable use

You may access the Site for lawful personal, educational, or professional reference use. You must not:

• use the Site for fraud, unlawful conduct, harmful clinical decision-making, or deceptive health claims;
• attempt to gain unauthorized access, introduce malware, overload the Site, bypass security controls, or interfere with normal operation;
• scrape, copy, republish, sell, frame, or systematically extract substantial Site content without written permission, except where applicable law permits;
• misrepresent your affiliation with Heart Score Calculator or imply our endorsement; or
• remove copyright, attribution, trademark, safety, or limitation notices.

8. Intellectual property

The Site’s original text, selection and arrangement, interface elements, graphics, branding, and code are owned by or licensed to Heart Score Calculator and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. “Heart Score Calculator” and associated branding may not be used in a way that suggests sponsorship or affiliation without permission.

Clinical equations, guidelines, publications, trademarks, and third-party materials remain the property of their respective owners. Referencing a source does not transfer ownership or imply endorsement by that source.

9. Third-party sources, links, and services

The Site may link to research papers, professional organizations, government resources, advertisers, or other third parties. These links are provided for context or convenience. We do not control and are not responsible for third-party availability, accuracy, security, terms, privacy practices, products, or services.

10. Advertising and commercial relationships

The Site may display advertising or use third-party services that support operation and measurement. Advertising does not constitute medical endorsement. Any interaction or transaction with an advertiser or third party is between you and that party and may be governed by separate terms.

11. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains our current disclosures about information and cookies. Third-party advertising or measurement services may also apply their own privacy terms and available consent choices. Do not submit personal medical records, account credentials, or other sensitive information through general contact channels.

12. Availability and changes to the Site

We may modify, suspend, restrict, or discontinue any part of the Site without guaranteeing uninterrupted availability. Maintenance, hosting failures, security events, third-party outages, or other circumstances may affect access. We are not obligated to preserve a specific calculator, formula version, feature, or result.

13. Disclaimer of warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Site is provided “as is” and “as available.” We do not warrant that the Site will always be available, error-free, complete, current, secure, or suitable for a particular medical or non-medical purpose. Nothing on the Site guarantees a health outcome.

14. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Heart Score Calculator and its publishers, contributors, service providers, and affiliates will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or similar losses arising from access to, inability to use, or reliance on the Site.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. Your statutory consumer rights, where applicable, are not waived.

15. Restriction or termination of access

We may restrict or terminate access to protect the Site, its users, or third parties, or when we reasonably believe these Terms or applicable law have been violated. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination—including intellectual-property, warranty, and liability provisions—will continue to apply.

16. Copyright concerns

If you believe material on the Site infringes your copyright, contact us with identification of the protected work, the specific Site URL and material at issue, your contact information, and a good-faith explanation of your claim. We may request additional information before acting. Knowingly submitting a false claim may have legal consequences.

17. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms when the Site, our practices, or applicable requirements change. The “Last updated” date identifies the current version. Continued use after an update means that the revised Terms apply from their effective date.

18. General provisions

If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in effect. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. These Terms, together with the policies incorporated by reference, form the agreement governing use of the Site. Applicable mandatory rights and laws continue to apply.
