Terms of Use

Last updated 13 August 2026

The rules for using eatwatermelon.com. They are written to be read, so they say what this site is, and just as importantly what it is not.

These terms

These terms govern your use of eatwatermelon.com. By using the site you accept them. If you do not accept them, please do not use the site.

Eat Watermelon is operated by SideQuester, of 40 Bowling Green Lane, London, EC1R 0NE, United Kingdom. You can reach us at hello@eatwatermelon.com.

How we handle your personal information is set out separately in our privacy policy, and what this site stores on your device is in our cookie policy. Both form part of these terms.

What this site is

Eat Watermelon is a business-clarity service, with a homepage tool that works out an indicative figure from what you enter.

General information, not professional advice

What you read here, and anything a tool on this site produces, is general business information. It is not professional advice, and it is not tailored to your circumstances.

Decisions about your business are yours. Take proper advice before acting on anything material, and treat what we publish as a starting point rather than a conclusion.

Calculators and the figures they produce

The tools on this site are simplified models. They are kept current for the period each page states, but they do not account for every allowance, relief, charge, rate or personal circumstance, and they can contain errors.

Treat any figure as an estimate for orientation, not as a statement of what you owe, will pay or will receive. The assessment that counts is the one made by the relevant authority or supplier, not ours.

These calculations run on our server rather than in your browser, so the figures you type are sent to us and reach infrastructure in Council Bluffs, Iowa, United States. Our privacy policy explains what happens to them.

If you find a result that looks wrong, please tell us. We would rather fix it.

Enquiries, quotes and introductions

Sending us an enquiry is exactly that. It does not create a contract between us and it does not oblige either of us to go further. Please give us accurate details, and do not send us anything confidential that belongs to someone else.

Where we go on to do work for you, that work is covered by a separate written agreement between us, and that agreement takes precedence over these terms if the two ever disagree.

Acceptable use

You are welcome to read the site, use the tools on it, quote it with a link, and share it. You may not:

• attempt to break, overload, probe or gain unauthorised access to the site or to any account that is not yours;
• use the site unlawfully, or submit anything unlawful, abusive, or deliberately misleading;
• use automated means to submit forms, or to generate volumes of requests that a person would not;
• republish substantial parts of our content as your own.

Machines are welcome, on stated terms. This site publishes a machine-readable interface for AI assistants and agents, and our robots.txt carries the declaration Content-Signal: search=yes, ai-input=yes, ai-train=no. In words: you may crawl this site for search, and you may read it to ground an answer to someone's question, including quoting it with attribution. You may not use it as training data for a model. Using the documented interfaces as intended is encouraged, and the restrictions above are not aimed at it.

Our content, and other people's names

The site, its text, its design and the logic behind any tool on it belong to us or to our licensors, and are protected by copyright and other rights. You may quote a short extract with a link back to the page you took it from. Anything more needs our written permission.

Other names and marks that appear on the site belong to their owners, and we use them only to identify what we are describing.

Availability

We do not promise that the site will be available at any particular time or uninterrupted, and we may change, suspend or withdraw any part of it without notice. We may also change what the site offers.

The site links to other websites. We are not responsible for their content or what they do with your information, and a link is not an endorsement.

Our liability

Nothing in these terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited.

Subject to that, and as far as the law allows:

• the site and everything on it is provided as it is, without warranties of accuracy, availability or fitness for a particular purpose;
• we are not liable for loss of profit, loss of business, loss of anticipated savings, loss of data, or any indirect or consequential loss; and
• our total liability to you for all claims connected with this site is limited to the greater of the amount you have paid us in the twelve months before the claim, or 100 pounds.

If you are a consumer, you have legal rights that these terms do not affect, and nothing here takes them away.

Changes, and the law that applies

We may change these terms. The current version is always on this page with its date, and continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated version.

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction. If you are a consumer resident elsewhere in the United Kingdom, you may bring proceedings in your own jurisdiction.

If any part of these terms is found to be unenforceable, the rest continues to apply. Questions go to hello@eatwatermelon.com.
