The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind, either express or implied.

Changes to These Terms
We reserve the right to modify, update, or replace these Terms at any time, at our sole discretion. When we make changes:
- We will update the "Effective date" at the top of this page.

Your continued use of the Service after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree with any changes, you must stop using the Service. We recommend checking this page periodically to stay informed.
Severability & Waiver
If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or if modification is not possible, it will be severed. The remaining provisions of these Terms will continue in full force and effect.
Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of that right or provision. Any waiver of any provision of these Terms will be effective only if in writing and signed by an authorized representative of LCM Calc.
These Terms, together with our Disclaimer and Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and LCM Calc regarding the Service, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to create an account to use LCM Calc?
No. LCM Calc requires no account, no sign-up, and no email address. Just visit the site and start calculating. This is by design — we want the tool to be as frictionless as possible.
Can I use LCM Calc for commercial work?
Yes. You can use the Calculator and its results for commercial purposes — for example, calculating LCMs in engineering, teaching, or client work. What you cannot do is claim the tool itself as your own, redistribute its code, or use our brand to promote your own product.
Can I embed LCM Calc on my website?
Yes, and we encourage it! LCM Calc is a single HTML file with no dependencies, so it's easy to embed. Please contact us first so we can help you set it up properly and, if appropriate, add a small attribution link.
Can I copy the source code and make my own version?
You may study the source code for personal learning purposes, but you may not redistribute it, rebrand it, or claim it as your own. The code, design, translations, and content are protected by copyright. If you'd like to build on our work in a public way, reach out — we're open to collaboration.
What happens if I find a bug or an incorrect result?
Please report it to us with the exact input, expected result, and actual result. Bug reports are our highest priority. That said, as explained in our Disclaimer, we cannot guarantee that every result will always be 100% correct — you should verify critical calculations.
Will LCM Calc always be free?
Yes. LCM Calc is free and will remain free. There are no paid tiers, no ads, no upsells, and no plans to introduce them. We believe educational tools should be accessible to everyone.
Do you collect any personal data?
No. All calculations run entirely in your browser — nothing is transmitted to us. If you submit a message through our Contact form, we store only that message for the purpose of replying. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
What happens if I violate these Terms?
Depending on the severity, we may take actions ranging from a friendly warning to immediate termination of access. Serious violations — such as attacking the service or infringing our intellectual property — may also result in legal action.
Can these Terms change over time?
Yes. We may update these Terms occasionally to reflect changes in the law, our services, or best practices. When we do, we update the effective date at the top of this page. For material changes, we'll add a visible notice to the site.
I have a question that isn't answered here.
Please get in touch with us — we're happy to clarify anything. For legal-specific questions, email legal@lcmcalc.com and we'll respond within 2–3 business days.
