Terms of Use

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using RF Link Budget Pro at linkbudgetpro.com (“the Site”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, please do not use the Site.

2. Intended Use

RF Link Budget Pro is an engineering estimation tool intended for use by RF engineers, wireless system planners, engineering students, educators, amateur radio operators, and RF enthusiasts. The calculator is designed for:

• Preliminary link feasibility assessment and system planning
• Educational study of radio propagation principles
• Professional estimation during the design phase of wireless systems

This tool is not intended for use in safety-critical, life-safety, or regulatory compliance applications without independent field validation by a qualified RF engineer.

3. No Warranty

The Site and its outputs are provided “as is” without warranty of any kind, express or implied. We make no guarantee that:

• Results are accurate, complete, or suitable for any specific application
• The Site will be available continuously or free from technical errors
• Outputs will match real-world RF link performance under actual deployment conditions

4. Engineering Responsibility

Users are solely responsible for verifying all results before applying them to real-world deployments. The outputs of this calculator are estimates based on simplified propagation models and do not account for terrain, vegetation, building penetration, atmospheric effects, multipath fading, co-channel interference, or regulatory power limits.

Decisions made on the basis of this tool are the responsibility of the user. We strongly recommend independent validation by a licensed RF engineer for any critical system.

5. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, RF Link Budget Pro and its operators shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from the use of, or inability to use, this Site or its results. This includes but is not limited to damages from reliance on calculator outputs, system downtime, or data loss.

• Use the Site to build a competing commercial service without prior written permission
• Attempt to reverse-engineer, exploit, or compromise the Site’s infrastructure
• Use automated tools to submit calculations at a rate that degrades performance for other users

7. Intellectual Property

All content, code, design, and branding associated with RF Link Budget Pro are the property of their respective owners. The underlying RF formulas and propagation models are based on established engineering literature and are in the public domain. The implementation, interface, and presentation are proprietary.
