What Is Covered by These Terms of Service?

These terms of service cover everything at physicsfundamentalsinfo.com: the articles, the physics calculators, the interactive labs and the newsletter. The short version — everything here is free to read and use for learning and teaching, you may embed our calculators and labs, you may not republish our articles wholesale, and you should check any number that matters before you rely on it. By using the site you accept the terms below.

1. Who We Are

Physics Fundamentals (physicsfundamentalsinfo.com) is a free physics education website publishing explainer articles, interactive simulations and calculators. In these terms, “we”, “us” and “the site” mean Physics Fundamentals; “you” means anyone using the site.

2. Using the Site

You may use the site for personal study, teaching and research at no cost. There is no account to create and no paywall. You agree not to interfere with the site’s operation — no attempts to break, overload or gain unauthorised access to it, and no automated bulk downloading that degrades service for other readers. Ordinary search-engine crawling is welcome.

3. Educational Use and No Warranty

The content here is educational. We check every formula, constant and worked solution against standard physics references before publishing, and we correct errors when we find them — but we cannot guarantee that every page is free of mistakes, and the calculators are teaching tools rather than certified engineering software.

Do not rely on a result from this site for anything safety-critical, structural, medical, financial or legally binding without verifying it independently. The site is provided “as is”, without warranties of any kind, and we are not liable for loss arising from its use to the fullest extent the law allows.

4. Our Content and Your Rights to It

The articles, diagrams, simulation code and calculator implementations on this site are our copyright unless stated otherwise. You may:

You may not republish whole articles, sell our content, present it as your own, or remove attribution. For anything beyond the list above, email contact@physicsfundamentalsinfo.com — we usually say yes.

5. Contributions and Submissions

If you send us an article, a correction or a suggestion, you confirm it is your own work and you grant us a non-exclusive right to publish and edit it. We do not pay for unsolicited submissions unless we have agreed that in writing beforehand. See Write For Us for what we accept.

6. Third-Party Links and Services

We link to external references — textbooks, NIST, HyperPhysics, university pages — because they are useful. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content or their policies. The site also uses third-party services for analytics and email delivery; see the privacy policy for what that involves.

7. Newsletter

Subscribing is optional and you can unsubscribe from any email we send. We do not sell or rent email addresses.

8. Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms as the site changes. The “last updated” date at the top always reflects the current version, and material changes will be noted to newsletter subscribers.
