Terms & Conditions

Welcome to Board Foot (BDFT) Calculator (“we”, “us”, “our”) at bdftcalculator.com. By accessing or using our website, you agree to these Terms & Conditions (“Terms”). If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

1) What this service is

Board Foot (BDFT) Calculator provides simple, fast calculators and reference content to estimate board feet (BDFT) and related measures for lumber. Key features include adjustable decimals, size presets for common dressed dimensions (e.g., 2×4 actual 1.5" × 3.5"), quantity support, BF per linear foot, quick copy actions, and optional estimators that also display cubic feet/inches and total cost based on a price-per-board-foot that you enter.

Our tools are for general estimating. They do not replace professional judgment, local codes/standards, mill rules, supplier quotes, or engineering advice. Log scaling (e.g., Doyle/Scribner/International 1/4) is referenced for context only; purchasers and mills may use different rules and assumptions.

2) Your responsibilities

• Use the calculator lawfully and responsibly.
• Choose appropriate inputs (e.g., actual vs. nominal sizes, thickness/width/length units) and verify results before purchasing, quoting, or building.
• Understand that rounding/decimal precision and waste/overage practices can affect totals.
• Confirm prices, grades, species, and availability with your supplier; our cost estimator is informational only.
• Do not attempt to disrupt, scrape at scale, reverse engineer, or misuse the service.

3) Intellectual property

All site content—including text, design, layouts, graphics, and code—is protected by copyright and other laws. You may not reproduce or redistribute substantial portions without permission, except as allowed by applicable law (e.g., fair use). You may link to public pages of the site.

4) Third-party services

We may use third-party providers for hosting, performance, security, or analytics. Their terms and privacy practices apply to their services. We are not responsible for third-party content or policies.

5) No professional advice

The site offers tooling and educational information only. We do not provide engineering, architectural, or legal advice. Always consult qualified professionals and the relevant standards/codes for your project.

6) No warranties

The service is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind—express or implied—including accuracy, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or availability. We do not warrant that results will meet your needs or be error-free.

7) Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages; or for lost profits, revenues, data, or business opportunities arising out of or related to your use of the site—even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

8) Changes to the service & terms

We may modify or discontinue any feature (e.g., presets, conversions, cost estimator) at any time. We may update these Terms occasionally; material changes will be signposted (e.g., on-site notice). Continued use means you accept the updated Terms.

9) Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Pakistan, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Venue and jurisdiction will be in courts located in Pakistan, unless applicable consumer law requires otherwise.
