+ * A utility class to convert between different units of time.
+ *
+ * <p>This class supports conversions between the following units:
+ * <ul>
+ *   <li>seconds</li>
+ *   <li>minutes</li>
+ *   <li>hours</li>
+ *   <li>days</li>
+ *   <li>weeks</li>
+ *   <li>months (approximated as 30.44 days)</li>
+ *   <li>years (approximated as 365.25 days)</li>
+ * </ul>
+ *
+ * <p>The conversion is based on predefined constants in seconds.
+ * Results are rounded to three decimal places for consistency.
+ *
+ * <p>This class is final and cannot be instantiated.
