Terms of Service

Introduction

Welcome to CoderCaste (“we,” “our,” or “us”). These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of codercaste.com and all of its developer-career calculators, guides, and related features (together, the “Service”). By using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

Acceptance and Changes

By accessing or using CoderCaste, you confirm that you have read and accept these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which forms part of them. We may update these Terms at any time; continued use after a change means you accept the current version.

Educational Estimates, Not Financial or Career Advice

The Service exists to give general, educational estimates. The salary-negotiation, offer-comparison, equity-vesting, interview-countdown, Big-O, and standup-planning calculators apply standard formulas to the numbers you enter; their results are planning aids, not personalised financial, tax, legal, or career guidance, and not a promise of any outcome. CoderCaste is not a recruiter, a financial adviser, an accountant, or a law firm. For anything that affects your money, your equity, your taxes, or a career decision that matters to you, rely on a qualified professional rather than this Service.

What the Service Provides

CoderCaste offers, free of charge:

• A dev salary negotiation and total-comp calculator
• A tech-offer comparison tool
• A coding-interview countdown and study planner
• A Big-O complexity estimator
• An equity vesting calculator, and a remote standup planner
• Educational guides, a Learn section, and an illustrated Computing Museum

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time.

Your Responsibilities

When you use the Service, you agree to:

• Use the tools in good faith for your own personal career planning
• Enter accurate figures, and check the currency, share counts, dates, and offset fields before relying on a result
• Take responsibility for the decisions you make, and confirm anything material with a qualified professional
• Not attempt to disrupt, overload, scrape, or reverse-engineer the Service
• Not use the Service for any unlawful purpose or to infringe others’ rights

Assumption of Risk

Compensation, equity, and career choices carry real financial consequences. You use the information on this Service at your own risk and remain solely responsible for deciding whether a given offer, negotiation, or plan is right for you. Always confirm figures that matter with an employer, a recruiter, or a qualified financial, tax, or legal adviser over anything here.

No Warranty

The Service is provided “as is.” While we aim for accuracy, we make no warranties, express or implied, that calculations are error-free or fit for your particular purpose, and we disclaim implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, CoderCaste and its suppliers will not be liable for any damages — including financial loss, lost earnings, or loss of data — arising from your use of, or inability to use, the Service, even if advised of the possibility of such damage.

Intellectual Property

The site’s original text, design, and calculator code are the property of CoderCaste and protected by copyright. Museum and Learn material sourced from Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons remains under its original licenses. You may use the tools for personal, non-commercial purposes; you may not copy or repurpose the site’s materials for commercial use without permission.

Third-Party Links and Advertising

The Service may link to third-party sites and displays advertising through networks such as Google AdSense. We do not control or endorse third-party content, and using any linked site or advertised product is at your own risk.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States, and you submit to the courts of that jurisdiction for any dispute.
