Terms of Service & DIY Tool Disclaimer

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using SelectMyBlog Home Decor (accessible at https://selectmyblog.com/home-decor/), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service, our Privacy Policy, and our Affiliate Disclosure. If you do not agree with any portion of these terms, you must discontinue using our website and design utilities immediately.

2. Design Calculators & Technical Advice Disclaimer

Our suite of interactive interior design tools (such as rug calculators, picture hanging wire calculators, chandelier height finders, and paint VOC guides) use standard industry design ratios and formulas. However:

• Variable Wall Substrates: Fastener shear capacities differ drastically between hollow drywall, horsehair plaster, brick masonry, and metal studs. You must inspect your specific wall substrate before securing heavy objects.
• Electrical Work: Lighting calculations reflect aesthetic illumination targets and do not constitute electrical engineering advice. Never alter junction boxes without cutting power at the main service panel.
• Product Tolerances: Dimensions published by furniture retailers often vary by 0.5 to 1.5 inches from actual manufactured items. Always measure physical furniture upon delivery before cutting trim or permanently anchoring wall brackets.

3. Intellectual Property Rights

All content published on this website—including article prose, proprietary interactive calculator scripts, user interfaces, diagrams, graphic assets, and brand marks—belongs to SelectMyBlog and is protected by international copyright and intellectual property statutes.

You may print or download individual pages for your personal, non-commercial home improvement planning. You may not scrape, reproduce, republish, distribute, or reverse-engineer our calculator code or content without prior written authorization from our editorial board.
