Trust and transparency

Terms of use

These terms govern use of this public educational calculator service. They are not legal advice and do not create a client, lender, broker, or advisory relationship.

Effective date and operator

Effective August 8, 2026. Westover Digital Development LLC operates Mortgage Rate Impact Lab from Idaho, United States. Questions and legal notices about this product may be sent to [email protected]. These terms are not represented as attorney-reviewed legal advice.

Informational estimates only

The calculators provide mathematical estimates from user-entered assumptions. They do not provide financial, legal, tax, investment, insurance, real-estate, credit, or mortgage advice. A result is not an appraisal, underwriting decision, prequalification, preapproval, rate lock, Loan Estimate, Closing Disclosure, payoff statement, escrow analysis, or commitment to lend.

The current product does not accept applications, negotiate or bind credit terms, determine eligibility, issue approvals, arrange transactions, or create personalized lender comparisons. This describes current functionality rather than a legal classification. Users should verify decisions and actual loan terms with appropriately qualified professionals and official documents.

User assumptions and verification

Results depend on the accuracy and meaning of the values entered. Taxes, insurance, mortgage insurance, HOA dues, fees, points, escrow rules, servicing conventions, and eligibility can differ materially by person, property, product, location, and time. Users are responsible for confirming inputs, reading exclusions, and comparing estimates with lender and settlement documents.

Acceptable use boundary

A final policy is still subject to legal review. At minimum, public use must not:

  • Interfere with the site, its security controls, or other users’ access.
  • Attempt unauthorized access to infrastructure, build systems, or data.
  • Misrepresent a calculator estimate as a lender quote, approval, official payoff, or available credit term.
  • Use the product to deceive, discriminate unlawfully, violate privacy, or break applicable law.
  • Resell or rebrand an output in a way that hides its assumptions and limitations.

Availability and changes

This public beta can change, pause, or remove features while testing continues. Material calculator changes are intended to preserve versioned methodology, regression tests, and correction records. No uptime or support commitment is offered.

External resources

Links to CFPB, Fannie Mae, FTC, and other sources are provided for transparency. Those organizations do not sponsor or endorse this product, and their sites have their own terms and privacy practices. A source can change after the date this project reviewed it.

Intellectual property, disclaimers, and liability

All site content, branding, and software are owned by or licensed to Westover Digital Development LLC unless stated otherwise. You may use the public calculators for lawful personal or business planning, but may not copy, resell, or misrepresent them as your own service. To the extent permitted by law, the service is provided as-is and without a warranty that an estimate is complete, current, or suitable for a particular decision.
