By accessing and using the BMI Calculator website ("Service"), you accept and agree to be bound by the terms and provision of this agreement. In addition, when using this Service, you shall be subject to any posted guidelines or rules applicable to such services. Any participation in this Service will constitute acceptance of this agreement. If you do not agree to abide by the above, please do not use this Service.

This Terms of Service ("Terms") is a legal agreement between you (either an individual or a single entity) and BMI Calculator ("we," "our," or "us") for the use of the BMI Calculator website and services.

Eligibility & Account Responsibility

Age Requirement: You must be at least 13 years old to use our Service. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement.

Account Responsibility: While we don't require account creation for basic BMI calculations, if you choose to create an account for additional features (when available), you are responsible for:

  • Maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials
  • All activities that occur under your account
  • Ensuring that you exit from your account at the end of each session

Medical Disclaimer & Limitations

NOT MEDICAL ADVICE: The content and tools provided by BMI Calculator are for informational and educational purposes only. The information provided is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

SCREENING TOOL ONLY: BMI (Body Mass Index) is a screening tool that estimates body fat based on height and weight. It has significant limitations:

  • Does not measure body fat directly
  • Does not account for muscle mass, bone density, or body composition
  • May be inaccurate for athletes, pregnant women, elderly individuals, and certain ethnic groups
  • Should not be used as the sole diagnostic tool for health assessment
