Terms of Service & Electrical Safety Disclaimers

1. Agreement & Binding Acceptance

Welcome to ChargeTier ("Website", "we", "our", or "us"), available at www.chargetier.com. By accessing, browsing, utilizing interactive calculators, reading technical reference articles, or linking to any route hosted on this Website, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service, all applicable laws, local electrical codes, and regulations.

If you do not agree with any part of these Terms of Service, you must immediately cease accessing and using this Website. We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time without individual prior notice. Your continued use of the Website following published updates constitutes binding acceptance of the revised Terms.

3. Interactive Calculation Tools & Estimator Limitations

ChargeTier provides interactive calculation software components, including the EV Charging & Infrastructure Sizer, Voltage Drop Engine, and Total Cost of Ownership Calculator. These digital tools execute mathematical formulas based on standardized user inputs (e.g., commute mileage, utility $/kWh rates, wire conductor gauge formulas).

• Theoretical Baseline Models: Calculator outputs are mathematical estimations based on nominal assumptions (such as constant 240V line potential, 75°C conductor ampacity tables, and static utility electric rates).
• Field Variance: Actual field performance varies due to ambient temperatures, utility grid voltage fluctuations (208V vs 240V AC), vehicle battery thermal management energy draw, and specific wire conduit routing paths.
• No Guarantee of Savings: Financial savings projections (such as EV vs gasoline fuel savings) are estimates based on user-provided pricing baselines and do not guarantee future utility rate stability or specific fuel cost reductions.

4. Intellectual Property & Copyright

All original written content, custom SVG electrical wiring schematics, comparison matrices, and software components hosted on ChargeTier are protected by applicable copyright laws. You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to view, print, and reference individual pages for personal, non-commercial home electrical planning purposes.

5. Limitation of Liability & Hold Harmless Provision

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable federal, state, and local laws, ChargeTier, its editor, contributors, and affiliates shall NOT be held liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of:

• Your reliance upon any wiring diagram, breaker recommendation, torque specification, or calculator output published on this Website.
• Property damage, personal injury, thermal wire melting, electrical fires, arc fault damage, or equipment failure resulting from electrical installations, improper conductor sizing, or unpermitted electrical modifications.
• Errors, inaccuracies, price changes, or delays in product specification tables, merchant inventory, or affiliate pricing links.

6. Merchant Links & External Third-Party Content

Our guides contain outbound links to third-party merchant platforms (e.g., Amazon.com, Home Depot, or direct EVSE manufacturer stores). Prices shown on ChargeTier are approximate reference prices only. We do not control or assume responsibility for the availability, product authenticity, pricing fluctuations, return policies, or safety certifications of products sold on external third-party merchant sites.
