The Leather Bench

Terms of Service

Last updated: 1 January 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of The Leather Bench (the "Website"), including all calculators, content and materials made available through it. By accessing or using the Website you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you must not use the Website.

2. Description of Service

The Website provides free, browser-based calculation tools intended to assist with planning handmade leathercraft projects. All calculations are performed locally in your browser. No account, registration or payment is required to use any tool on the Website.

3. Acceptable Use

You agree that you will not:

  • use the Website for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable law;
  • attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Website, its hosting infrastructure or any connected system;
  • interfere with, disrupt or place an unreasonable load on the Website, including through automated scraping, denial-of-service activity or vulnerability probing;
  • copy, reproduce or redistribute substantial portions of the Website's content for commercial resale without prior written permission;
  • remove, obscure or alter any copyright, trademark or other proprietary notice displayed on the Website.

4. No Professional Advice

The tools and content on the Website are provided for general informational and craft planning purposes only. They do not constitute professional, engineering, safety, commercial or legal advice. Leather is a natural material with variable properties, and calculation results are estimates based on typical workshop practice. You remain solely responsible for verifying measurements, testing on scrap material and exercising your own judgement before cutting, stitching, dyeing or otherwise processing any material.

5. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Website is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied or statutory, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Website will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or that any calculation result will be accurate, complete or suitable for your specific project.

6. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, The Leather Bench and its operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, materials, data or goodwill, arising out of or in connection with your use of, or inability to use, the Website — including any wasted leather, hardware, thread, tools or working time resulting from reliance on a calculation result. Where liability cannot be excluded by law, our total aggregate liability is limited to the amount you paid to use the Website, which is zero.

7. Intellectual Property

All text, calculation logic, layout, graphics, design elements and other content on the Website are owned by The Leather Bench or its licensors and are protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. You may use the Website and print or save its results for your own personal or internal business craft purposes. You may not republish, sell, license, or create derivative works from the Website's content or code without prior written consent. Any third-party open-source components used by the Website remain the property of their respective authors and are used under their applicable licences.

8. Third-Party Links and Advertising

The Website may reference third-party materials, suppliers or resources. Such references are provided for convenience only and do not constitute endorsement. We are not responsible for the content, availability, practices or products of any third party.

The Website may display advertisements provided by third-party advertising networks (including Google AdSense). Advertisements are delivered by third parties and we do not endorse or guarantee any product, service or claim made in any advertisement. Your interaction with advertisers is solely between you and the advertiser; we are not responsible for any loss or damage arising from such interactions.

9. Availability and Changes

We may modify, suspend, add to or discontinue any part of the Website, including any individual tool, at any time and without notice. We may also update these Terms from time to time. The revised version takes effect when published on this page, and your continued use of the Website constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

10. Termination

We may restrict or terminate your access to the Website at our discretion if we reasonably believe you have breached these Terms or engaged in activity that harms the Website or its users.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless The Leather Bench and its operators from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or in connection with your use of the Website in violation of these Terms or any applicable law, or your violation of any rights of another party.

12. Governing Law and Severability

These Terms are governed by the laws applicable in the operator's place of establishment, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect.
