Terms of Use

Review the terms governing educational use of Signage Budget Guide, including estimates, calculators, intellectual property and liability limitations.

Acceptance of these terms

By accessing or using Signage Budget Guide, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, do not use the site. These terms apply to the public articles, calculators, graphics and other site materials.

Educational use only

The site provides general educational and budgeting information. It does not provide professional engineering, architectural, electrical, legal, tax, accessibility, code, permit, procurement or contractor advice. Nothing on the site creates a professional-client, contractor-customer or advisory relationship.

No quotations or guarantees

Cost ranges and calculator outputs are generalized planning estimates. Actual prices, approvals, timelines, performance and suitability depend on specifications, location, suppliers and site conditions. We do not guarantee that a project can be completed at a displayed price, that a sign will be approved, or that content is complete for your situation.

Your responsibilities

You are responsible for verifying information before acting on it. This includes obtaining qualified local advice, written quotations, landlord consent, permits, inspections, engineering and electrical services where required. You are also responsible for safe procurement, installation, operation and maintenance.

Permitted use

You may use the site for personal, internal business and educational planning. You may print or save reasonable portions for your own project. You may not scrape the site at scale, republish substantial portions, remove attribution, sell the calculators, interfere with operation, attempt unauthorized access or use the site unlawfully.

Intellectual property

Unless otherwise stated, original site text, structure, branding, graphics and calculator code are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. Product names, company names and trademarks mentioned in articles belong to their respective owners and are used only for identification or discussion.

Third-party services and links

The site may display third-party advertising and link to external resources. We do not control external websites, advertisers or service providers and do not warrant their products, practices, availability or content. Deal directly with third parties at your own risk and review their terms and privacy notices.

Disclaimer of warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the site and its content are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of accuracy, completeness, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement or uninterrupted availability.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the publisher and its personnel will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive loss, or for lost profits, lost data, business interruption, procurement decisions, project delays, permit outcomes, installation problems or reliance on site estimates. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Indemnity

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to be responsible for claims and costs arising from your unlawful misuse of the site, infringement of another person's rights or violation of these terms.

Changes and availability

We may revise, remove or add content, calculators and these terms without guaranteeing continued availability. The current terms take effect on August 2, 2026.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws applicable in Ontario, Canada, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Courts with jurisdiction in Ontario will have jurisdiction over disputes, subject to any mandatory consumer or other law that applies.
