2. Description of Services

Helpful-Site.com provides free, browser-based tools including calculators, converters, and other utilities. The website is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We offer a Premium subscription (paid) that removes advertising from the site.

Important: Results from tools on this website — including but not limited to tax calculators, financial calculators, health calculators, and legal reference tools — should not be relied upon as professional advice. You should always seek qualified professional advice (financial, legal, medical, or otherwise) before making decisions based on calculations from this website.

Tax and financial figures are based on publicly available rate information and may not reflect the most recent changes. Always verify figures with HMRC, relevant government bodies, or a qualified professional.

To access certain features (such as the Premium subscription), you must create an account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account.

You agree to provide accurate and complete information when creating your account and to keep it updated. You must notify us immediately of any unauthorised use of your account at info@helpful-site.com.

We reserve the right to terminate accounts that violate these Terms or that are found to be fraudulent.

5. Premium Subscription

The Premium subscription is offered on a monthly (£2.49/month) or annual (£19.99/year) basis and is processed through Stripe. By subscribing, you authorise us to charge your payment method on a recurring basis until you cancel.

Cancellation: You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; no refund is issued for the remaining period.

Refunds: We offer a 14-day money-back guarantee on your first subscription payment if you are not satisfied. Subsequent payments are non-refundable except where required by law. To request a refund, contact info@helpful-site.com.

To the fullest extent permitted by law:

  • This website and its content are provided "as is" without any warranty, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.
  • We do not warrant that the website will be available at all times, error-free, or free of viruses or other harmful components.
  • We will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, this website or its content.

10. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales.

Under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, you have the right to cancel a digital subscription within 14 days of purchase (the "cooling-off period"), unless you have expressly requested that the service begin immediately and acknowledged that you lose your right to cancel once the service has been fully performed.
