⚠️ IMPORTANT WARNING
The Calculax website (https://calculax.net) offers calculators and information for purely educational and informational purposes.
No content replaces personalized medical consultation.

1. Nature of the information provided

The Calculax tools (BMI calculation, calorie needs estimation, etc.) are based on formulas and thresholds derived from publicly available scientific publications (WHO, NIH, Cochrane Library, etc.). They are intended to help the user better understand certain health indicators, but they do not constitute a diagnosis, prescription, or medical advice.

2. No doctor-patient relationship

Use of Calculax does not establish any professional doctor-patient relationship. No personal health data is collected, and results are calculated locally in your browser. You are solely responsible for interpreting the results.

3. Limitations of the calculators

Standard formulas (BMI, basal metabolic rate, etc.) are general approximations and do not account for significant individual variations (pregnancy, breastfeeding, chronic illnesses, medication, muscle mass, extreme age, etc.).
Thresholds (e.g., BMI categories) may differ according to local recommendations or adaptations for certain populations (older adults, children, athletes).
Information may evolve with new research; we do not guarantee real-time completeness.

4. Publisher’s liability

Calculax, its publisher and its partners disclaim all liability for any direct or indirect consequences arising from the use of the calculators, misinterpretation of the results, or any health decision made on the basis of this information. In particular:

Self-medication, modification or discontinuation of a medical treatment.
Diet or sports program undertaken without professional advice.
Delay in consulting a physician.
Material or immaterial damage related to the use of the site.

5. Recommended course of action

⭐ Imperative recommendation: Before undertaking any health-related steps (diet, exercise, treatment), or if you have any doubt about a result, consult a physician, dietitian, or qualified healthcare professional. Only a clinical examination and personalized follow-up can establish a diagnosis or appropriate advice.

6. Special cases

Pregnant or breastfeeding women, minors, persons over 65 years of age, high-level athletes, and persons suffering from medical conditions (diabetes, hormonal disorders, kidney disease, etc.) must imperatively seek medical advice before interpreting the general indicators provided by Calculax.
