Terms of Service

Introduction

Welcome to GiftDuty (“we,” “our,” or “us”). These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of our website at giftduty.com and all associated calculators, guides, and services (collectively, the “Service”).

By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you disagree with any part of them, please do not use the Service.

Acceptance of Terms

By accessing, browsing, or using GiftDuty, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference.

We may update these Terms at any time. Your continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

Estimates for Planning — Verify Before You Rely

GiftDuty’s calculators produce general estimates to help you plan. Duty rates, import VAT/GST, de-minimis gift allowances, gift and estate tax exclusions and exemptions, and deductible caps differ by country and change over time, and the tools deliberately ask you to supply those figures rather than assuming any one jurisdiction’s law. Results depend entirely on the numbers you enter and on commonly used formulas, and may be incomplete or out of date. Nothing on the Service is customs, tax, accounting, or legal advice. Before you ship a gift, transfer money, or make a decision with real financial or compliance consequences, verify the applicable rates, thresholds, and rules with the destination customs authority, the relevant tax authority, your carrier, or a qualified professional.

Description of Service

GiftDuty provides free, browser-based calculators and educational resources, including:

• Import duty & tax calculator (customs value, duty, import VAT/GST, landed cost)
• Gift duty-free allowance (de-minimis) checker
• Gift tax threshold estimator
• Corporate gifting budget planner
• Gift budget splitter and gift wrap size estimator
• Guides, explainers, and reference content on gifting, customs, and gift tax

All tools are provided free of charge. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time.

Your Responsibilities

When using the Service, you agree to:

• Use the tools in good faith for lawful, personal or internal business planning
• Enter accurate figures and declare the true value of goods to customs
• Not deliberately under-declare value or use the tools to evade duty or tax
• Not disrupt, overload, or attempt to compromise the website
• Respect intellectual property rights

You are responsible for exercising your own judgment and for confirming important matters with the relevant authority or a professional before acting.

Accuracy and Disclaimers

While we aim for correct formulas, we cannot guarantee that every calculation is error-free or suited to your circumstances. Results are estimates based on standard methods and the figures you provide; actual duty, tax, and costs assessed by an authority or carrier may differ. GiftDuty makes no warranties, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

Intellectual Property

All content on this website — text, graphics, logos, tools, calculators, and software — is the property of GiftDuty or its content suppliers and is protected by applicable copyright and other laws. You may use the tools for personal or internal business purposes; you may not copy, resell, or reverse engineer them, or remove proprietary notices.

Limitation of Liability

In no event shall GiftDuty or its suppliers be liable for any damages (including, without limitation, unexpected customs charges, tax liabilities, or lost savings) arising out of your use of, or inability to use, the Service, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Third-Party Links and Ads

The Service may link to third-party websites and displays third-party advertisements. We do not control and are not responsible for their content, and inclusion of a link or ad is not an endorsement. Your use of any third-party site is at your own risk.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States, and you submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located there.
