Plain-language terms for a site with no accounts and no purchases. Read the whole thing — it's short.
Last updated August 8, 2026 · Applies to every page on this site (tools.tridentsocial.net), operated by Trident Social, Fort Collins, Colorado, US.
Trident Tools is a free collection of self-contained web calculators — the Indie Film Budget Calculator, the Aspect Ratio & Crop-Safe-Zone Calculator, the Export Time & File-Size Calculator — plus a product page for Social Cut Commander, a separate Premiere Pro panel product currently in early access. By using this site, you agree to these terms. There's no account to create and nothing to accept beyond loading the page and using a tool.
Every calculator on this site is free, with no usage limit, no paywall, and no signup. We may add new tools or retire old ones over time; nothing here is a subscription or a paid tier.
The calculators produce planning estimates based on the numbers and assumptions you enter, or reasonable rule-of-thumb defaults where noted on each tool page. They are not legal, financial, tax, union-contract, or production advice, and none of the figures are guaranteed to be accurate, current, or complete for your situation:
You're responsible for verifying any figure before acting on it. We are not liable for decisions made using these tools.
These tools are provided free and "as is," without warranty of any kind, express or implied — including no warranty of accuracy, fitness for a particular purpose, or uninterrupted availability. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Trident Social disclaims liability for any loss or damage arising from your use of, or inability to use, this site or its output.
Nothing you enter into a calculator is transmitted to us — see the Privacy Policy for the full detail. Any file you export (CSV, JSON, PDF) or save locally via the file-save feature is entirely yours; we retain no copy and claim no rights in it.
Use these tools for their intended purpose. Don't attempt to disrupt, scrape at abusive volume, reverse-engineer for resale as a competing hosted product, or use the site to violate any applicable law. We reserve the right to block traffic that abuses the service at the infrastructure level (rate limiting, IP blocks) — this is a fleet operated on a shared Cloudflare Workers account, and abuse affects other tools on it.
The tools, their code, design, and branding are owned by Trident Social. You're welcome to use them freely for your own projects, commercial or personal. You may not repackage, rehost, or resell these tools (or a derivative built from their source) as your own competing product without permission. Third-party platform names referenced by the aspect-ratio tool (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and similar) are trademarks of their respective owners and are used only to describe common export dimensions — Trident Social is not affiliated with, and this site is not endorsed by, any of them.
The Social Cut Commander product page describes a Premiere Pro CEP panel suite that is, as stated on that page, an internal early-access build: unsigned, distributed on request, and not yet verified across every Premiere Pro host environment. It is offered with no support SLA and no uptime or compatibility guarantee. Installing and running unsigned extensions is done at your own discretion and risk, consistent with your own organization's software policies.
We may update these terms as the tools change. Material changes will be reflected here with an updated date at the top of the page. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Colorado, US, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, without prejudice to any mandatory consumer-protection rights you have under the laws of your own jurisdiction.
