Terms of use

These terms govern your use of uk-ti.me and the tools on it, including the alarm clocks, timers, stopwatch, countdowns, calculators, calendar and bank holiday pages. By using the site you accept them. If you do not accept them, please do not use the site.

Provided as they are

The tools are made available at no charge, as they are and as they happen to be available at the time. Reasonable care is taken to keep them accurate and working, but no guarantee is given that they will be uninterrupted, error-free, or suitable for any particular purpose you have in mind.

Do not depend on a browser alarm

The alarms and timers on this site work only while the page is open and the device is awake. A browser tab can be closed by accident or discarded by the operating system to free memory. A laptop lid closes, a phone locks its screen, a battery runs out. Silent mode, do not disturb and a muted tab will each suppress the sound while leaving the page looking perfectly healthy. Any one of these will stop an alarm that was set correctly.

For that reason these tools must not be relied on where missing the alarm would matter: medication, a flight or train, an examination, a shift, a legal or financial deadline, or anything involving safety. Use a dedicated alarm clock or your device's own alarm application for those, and treat this site as a convenience for the moments in between.

Dates, holidays and calculations

Bank holiday dates, calendar information and calculator results are provided for general reference. The United Kingdom has separate holiday lists for England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, dates can be altered by proclamation, and one-off holidays are declared from time to time. Before relying on any date for an employment, contractual, tax or legal purpose, confirm it against the relevant official source.

Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, no liability is accepted for loss or damage arising from use of, or inability to use, this site — including a missed alarm, an incorrect calculation, or reliance on a date shown here. Nothing in these terms limits or excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded. If you are using the site as a consumer, your statutory rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and other UK consumer legislation are unaffected by anything written here.

Intellectual property

The text, design and code of this site are protected by copyright and remain the property of the site's operator unless stated otherwise. You may use the tools for your own personal and non-commercial purposes. Copying, republishing or redistributing substantial parts of the content or code is not permitted without permission.

Acceptable use

You agree not to interfere with the operation of the site, not to request pages at a rate that degrades it for other visitors, and not to use it for any unlawful purpose.

Governing law

These terms and any dispute arising out of them are governed by the law of England and Wales, and are subject to the jurisdiction of its courts. This does not deprive a consumer of the protection of any mandatory rule of law of the part of the United Kingdom in which they are resident.

Changes and contact

These terms may be revised as the site changes, and continued use after a revision constitutes acceptance of it. [Insert last updated date.] Questions about these terms can be sent to the address published on the contact page.
