Terms of Service
The rules and conditions that apply when you use the World Meal Time website and tools.
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using World Meal Time (the "Site"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, please do not use the Site.
2. Description of Service
World Meal Time provides a free, informational reference tool showing live clock times, approximate breakfast, lunch, tea-time and dinner windows, working hours, school hours, and related calculators (time difference, timezone conversion, and meal planning) for a curated set of countries and cities. The Site is provided for general informational and planning purposes only.
3. Use License
Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Site for personal, non-commercial purposes. You may not:
- Copy, reproduce, republish, or redistribute substantial portions of the Site's content, design, or underlying code without prior written permission;
- Use automated systems (bots, scrapers, or crawlers) to extract data from the Site at scale;
- Attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or interfere with the normal operation of the Site;
- Use the Site in any way that violates applicable local, national, or international law.
4. User Conduct
You agree to use the Site only for lawful purposes. Because World Meal Time does not require account registration or accept user-submitted content, most conduct obligations relate to responsible, good-faith use of the tool itself — for example, not attempting to overload or disrupt the Site's availability.
5. Intellectual Property
The Site's design, layout, original text content, graphics, and underlying source code are the property of World Meal Time and its creators, except where otherwise noted. Country and city meal-time data reflects general cultural conventions compiled from publicly available context and is provided as-is for reference.
6. Third-Party Advertisements
The Site may display advertisements served by third-party advertising networks, including Google AdSense. We do not endorse and are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or practices of advertisers or the products and services they promote. Your interactions with any advertisement are solely between you and the advertiser.
7. Accuracy of Meal Time and Timezone Information
The meal-time windows, working hours, school hours, and weekend patterns shown on the Site reflect general, typical cultural conventions per country and are not official regulations, legal standards, or guarantees of accuracy. Actual mealtimes vary by household, region, religion, season, and individual circumstance. Timezone data is based on standard, publicly known UTC offsets and does not account for every local exception (such as short-notice daylight saving changes in some regions). Do not rely on the Site as the sole source for time-critical, safety-critical, medical, legal, or financial decisions.
8. No Warranty
The Site is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any data displayed will be fully current or accurate at all times.
9. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, World Meal Time and its creators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, profits, or opportunities, arising out of or related to your use of, or inability to use, the Site — including reliance on any meal-time, timezone, or scheduling information displayed.
10. Changes to These Terms
We may revise these Terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.
11. Governing Law
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with applicable general principles of contract law, without regard to conflict-of-law provisions, unless otherwise required by the mandatory law of your jurisdiction as a consumer.
