Terms of Service

Last updated: November 6, 2026 • Draft, needs legal review

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing and using dBm to Watts Calculator (dbmtowatts.com), you acknowledge and agree to comply with and be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, please discontinue use of this site immediately.

2. Permitted Educational & Engineering Use

The calculations, formulas, reference tables, conversion tools, and embeddable iframe widgets provided on this site are free for:

  • Academic, pedagogical, and university research coursework.
  • Commercial and professional electronics, telecommunications, and RF engineering design workflows.
  • Amateur radio operations, antenna modeling, and personal technical projects.

You are permitted to reference, cite, and embed our interactive widgets into your engineering documentation, lab manuals, and web publications with appropriate attribution.

3. Engineering Disclaimer & Limitation of Liability

All conversion algorithms, mathematical equations, standards references, and RF simulation tools are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranty of any kind, whether express or implied.

While our maintainers cross-verify all algorithms against published IEEE, NIST, 3GPP, and FCC technical standards, dbmtowatts.com and its operators disclaim all liability for:

  • Hardware damage, component burn-out, or thermal breakdown resulting from improper RF power attenuator pad sizing or transmitter output configuration.
  • Regulatory non-compliance, fines, or sanctions issued by telecommunications authorities (e.g., FCC, CE/RED, Ofcom) relating to unauthorized ERP/EIRP power levels.
  • Suitability of calculations for life-critical, medical, aeronautical navigation, nuclear, or mission-critical defense hardware. Professional field deployments require physical measurement with calibrated laboratory instruments (e.g., calibrated spectrum analyzers and power sensors).

4. Intellectual Property

Underlying physics laws, standard logarithmic formulas (such as P(W) = 10^((dBm − 30) / 10) and the Friis transmission equation), and standardized constant values reside in the public domain. The custom user interface, CSS stylesheets, layout architecture, and original technical explanations on dbmtowatts.com are protected by applicable intellectual property and copyright laws.

5. Governing Law & Legal Jurisdiction

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with applicable laws, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any dispute arising under or in connection with these terms shall be resolved in the competent courts having jurisdiction over the platform operator.

6. Modifications to Service

We reserve the right to modify, enhance, or discontinue any calculator, API endpoint, or site feature at any time without prior notice. Continued use of the platform following updates constitutes acceptance of revised terms.
