Terms of Service

Introduction

Welcome to GlueGunGuild (“we,” “our,” or “us”). These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of our website at gunocide.com and all associated hot-glue craft calculators, tools, and services (collectively, the “Service”).

By accessing or using our Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you disagree with any part of these Terms, you may not access the Service.

Acceptance of Terms

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

We reserve the right to update or modify these Terms at any time without prior notice. Your continued use of the Service after any such changes constitutes acceptance of the new Terms.

Informational Use & Verifying Results

GlueGunGuild provides estimates and tools for general guidance and informational purposes only. Calculator results and the guidance on the Service are informational and may be incomplete or out of date. Hot-melt adhesive behaviour varies by glue-stick formulation, gun wattage, room temperature and humidity, and the exact materials being bonded. By using the Service you agree to treat results as general estimates rather than a guarantee, and to test any glue-and-material combination on a scrap piece before committing to a visible or load-bearing project. Nothing on this site is professional engineering, safety, or product advice, and it does not replace the instructions supplied by your glue-gun or glue-stick manufacturer.

Description of Service

GlueGunGuild provides free, practical calculators and educational resources, including:

• Glue stick quantity estimator
• Dry & cure time by material calculator
• Glue gun temperature guide
• Project cost calculator
• Coverage & bead-length calculator
• Project time estimator and educational content, guides, and best practices

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

User Responsibilities

Appropriate Use

Users of our tools and website agree to:

• Use the tools in good faith for legitimate personal craft purposes
• Provide accurate figures when using our calculators
• Not attempt to disrupt or compromise the website’s functionality
• Not use automated systems to access our tools excessively
• Respect intellectual property rights
• Not use the tools for any illegal or unauthorised purpose

Your Own Judgment

You are responsible for your own crafting decisions, including handling a hot glue gun safely. Our tools are designed to assist and inform, not to replace your own judgment, a test run on scrap material, or the safety instructions supplied with your glue gun.

Tool Accuracy and Disclaimers

Calculation Accuracy

Our calculators are provided for informational and educational purposes only. While we strive for accuracy, we cannot guarantee that every calculation will be error-free or suitable for your specific situation. Results are estimates based on typical hot-melt adhesive behaviour and the figures you enter; actual results depend on the specific glue, gun, and materials used.

No Guarantee of Results

GlueGunGuild makes no warranties, expressed or implied, and disclaims all other warranties including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

Safety

A hot glue gun reaches temperatures that can burn skin. Estimates of dry time, set time, and recommended gun temperature are general guidance only and are not a substitute for supervising children, keeping a cooling stand or damp cloth nearby, and following the safety instructions supplied with your specific glue gun.

In no event shall GlueGunGuild or its suppliers be liable for any damages (including, without limitation, damages for loss of data, ruined materials, wasted glue, or other loss) arising out of the use or inability to use the materials or tools on GlueGunGuild, even if GlueGunGuild or an authorised representative has been notified of the possibility of such damage.
