1. Acceptance of Terms & Service Purpose

Scrap Gold Calculator provides online valuation tools, gold purity calculators, live rate lookups, and buyer payout estimators for educational, personal estimation, and informational purposes only. By using our site, you affirm that you accept these Terms of Service in full.

2. Financial Valuation Disclaimer (Not Financial Advice)

All calculations generated by our tools represent theoretical melt values based on spot market prices. Please note:

• Estimates, Not Binding Offers: Calculated values do not constitute a legal offer to purchase or sell gold.
• Dealer Deductions & Fees: Actual cash offers from local buyers, pawn shops, refiners, and jewelers will vary due to buyer margins, refining fees, assay testing, and smelting losses.
• No Brokerage Service: Scrap Gold Calculator does not buy, sell, refine, or hold precious metals, nor do we act as a broker or financial advisor.

3. Market Spot Price Feeds & Benchmark Fallbacks

Precious metal spot prices trade continuously during global market sessions. Calculators use third-party market data feeds and clearly labeled fallback reference benchmarks when live retrieval is unavailable or markets are closed. Past calculation results do not guarantee future buyer offers, and live prices fluctuate continuously during trading hours.

4. Intellectual Property & Permissible Use

All algorithms, software code, custom CSS design system, logo graphics, and original educational content on Scrap Gold Calculator are protected by intellectual property laws. You are granted a limited license to use our calculators for personal use. Automated web scraping, data mining, or framing without prior written consent is strictly prohibited.

5. User Responsibilities & Scale Accuracy

Calculated melt values depend directly on user inputs (weight in grams/DWT/ozt and karat hallmarks). Users are responsible for using accurate digital scales and identifying hallmarks correctly. Non-gold components, gemstones, and dirt must be removed before weighing for accurate estimations.

6. Third-Party Links & Advertisements

Our website may display links to third-party refiners, bullion dealers, or advertising networks (such as Google AdSense). Scrap Gold Calculator is not responsible for the content, privacy policies, or business practices of third-party websites.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Scrap Gold Calculator and its operators shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential financial losses arising from reliance on calculated values, market spot price fluctuations, or site downtime.

8. Changes to Terms & Contact Support

We reserve the right to revise or update these Terms of Service at any time. Continued use of our website constitutes agreement to the updated terms.
