Terms of Service

Introduction

Welcome to PondPoise (“we,” “our,” or “us”). These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of our website at goldgage.com and all associated calculators, guides, and services (collectively, the “Service”).

By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you disagree with any part of them, please do not use the Service.

Acceptance of Terms

By accessing, browsing, or using PondPoise, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference.

We may update these Terms at any time. Your continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

Planning Aids — Not Veterinary Advice

PondPoise’s calculators are planning and estimation tools. They apply widely used pond-keeping rules of thumb to the values you enter, and a result depends entirely on your input and on the assumptions of a simplified model. Nothing on the Service is veterinary, medical, or professional aquaculture advice. If a fish in your pond appears sick, injured, or is behaving abnormally, do not rely on this Service — consult a qualified aquatic veterinarian.

Description of Service

PondPoise provides free, browser-based calculators and educational resources, including:

• A pond volume calculator for rectangular, round, oval, and irregular ponds
• A fish stocking density calculator for goldfish and koi
• A filter turnover (GPH) calculator
• A feeding amount calculator scaled to fish weight and water temperature
• A water change calculator
• A pond liner size calculator
• Guides, explainers, and reference content on goldfish, koi, and pond-keeping

All tools are provided free of charge. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time.

Your Responsibilities

When using the Service, you agree to:

• Use the tools in good faith for planning and learning purposes
• Enter values in the correct units and check that your inputs describe your actual pond
• Not disrupt, overload, or attempt to compromise the website
• Respect intellectual property rights

You are responsible for exercising your own judgment and for confirming important results — and for seeking advice from a qualified aquatic veterinarian for the health of your fish — before relying on them.

Accuracy and Disclaimers

While we aim for correct formulas, we cannot guarantee that every calculation is error-free or suited to your specific pond. Results are estimates based on common pond-keeping guidelines and the figures you provide, and are rounded for display. PondPoise makes no warranties, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

Intellectual Property

All content on this website — text, graphics, logos, tools, calculators, and software — is the property of PondPoise or its content suppliers and is protected by applicable copyright and other laws. You may use the tools for personal and educational purposes; you may not copy, resell, or reverse engineer them, or remove proprietary notices.

Limitation of Liability

In no event shall PondPoise or its suppliers be liable for any damages (including, without limitation, fish loss, pond damage, or other losses) arising out of your use of, or inability to use, the Service, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Third-Party Links and Ads

The Service may link to third-party websites and displays third-party advertisements. We do not control and are not responsible for their content, and inclusion of a link or ad is not an endorsement. Your use of any third-party site is at your own risk.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States, and you submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located there.
