Terms of Service

Effective date: January 1, 2025. By accessing or using DecimalToHours.com ("the Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree with these terms, please do not use our calculators or reference materials.

1. Nature of the Service

Decimal to Hours provides free, web-based arithmetic conversion instruments, mathematical reference charts, and explanatory guides designed to assist with time calculations (including hours to decimal fractions, minutes to decimal, FLSA quarter-hour rounding, and tenth-hour billing).

The tools are provided free of charge for personal, professional, educational, and commercial purposes. No account registration, licensing subscription, or software installation is required.

2. Permitted Commercial & Personal Use

You are permitted to:

  • Use the calculators to process timesheets, client invoices, payroll logs, and project billing for yourself or your organization.
  • Export, print, and copy conversion results, CSV outputs, and reference tables for internal corporate or client presentation use.
  • Cite and link to our conversion formulas, guides, and charts in company payroll policies, employee handbooks, or academic papers.

3. Accuracy Disclaimer & Professional Verification

While every calculation formula, chart, and algorithm on Decimal to Hours has been rigorously engineered and verified against statutory benchmarks (such as the Fair Labor Standards Act 29 CFR § 785.48 and standard 6-minute billing intervals):

Notice: The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind. Decimal to Hours does not provide legal, accounting, tax, or employment law advice. State wage orders, union collective bargaining agreements (CBAs), and enterprise contracts may mandate specific rounding conventions that differ from standard federal formulas. Users are solely responsible for verifying final payroll disbursements, tax submissions, and client billings.

4. Acceptable Use & Service Integrity

You agree not to:

  • Engage in denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, automated crawling at abusive request frequencies, or actions that impair server infrastructure.
  • Attempt to reverse-engineer, mirror, or repackage the entire website as a competing commercial service without prior written consent.
  • Frame or embed site assets in a deceptive manner that misrepresents site authorship.

5. Intellectual Property

The original software code, user interface designs, custom mathematical explanations, curated reference tables, and branding on Decimal to Hours are protected by applicable intellectual property laws. Public domain statutory rules (such as US Code and Code of Federal Regulations text) remain in the public domain.

6. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Decimal to Hours, its developers, and affiliates shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from the use of, or inability to use, the conversion tools or information provided on the website.
