Terms
Terms of use
These terms govern access to and use of Globe O'Clock. By using the site, a visitor agrees to use it lawfully and understands the practical limits of a browser-based world clock.
Important time disclaimer: Globe O'Clock is an informational convenience, not an official time authority. Verify legal, financial, transportation, medical, examination, emergency, and other consequential deadlines with the organization responsible for them.
The service
Globe O'Clock provides searchable city information, current local times, dates, UTC offsets, and explanatory material about time zones. The core service is offered without an account and may be changed, interrupted, or discontinued.
Permitted use
Visitors may use the site for ordinary personal, educational, travel, and business scheduling purposes. Visitors must not interfere with the site's operation, attempt to bypass security controls, use automated requests in a manner that degrades service for others, or misrepresent Globe O'Clock content as an official time signal.
Accuracy and reliance
Times are calculated from the visitor's device clock and the time-zone data available in the browser or operating system. City and administrative information is derived from third-party geographical data. Although the site is designed to provide useful results, the operator does not guarantee that every place name, boundary, time-zone rule, offset, or displayed time is complete or current.
Globe O'Clock is not an official time authority. Visitors should confirm consequential deadlines with the responsible organization. The site should not be the sole source for legal filings, financial market activity, transportation operations, medical activity, examinations, emergency response, or other safety-critical decisions.
Third-party data and links
GeoNames data is used under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. External links are provided for context and convenience. Globe O'Clock does not control third-party websites, services, policies, or availability and is not responsible for material provided by them.
Advertising
The site may display advertising after the operator activates an approved advertising account and the required privacy controls. Advertising does not constitute Globe O'Clock's endorsement of an advertiser, product, or claim. Visitors are responsible for evaluating third-party offers before acting on them.
Intellectual property
The Globe O'Clock name, logo, visual design, original explanations, and site code are protected to the extent allowed by applicable law. Third-party names, data, and marks remain the property of their respective owners and are used under applicable licenses or for identification.
Disclaimer of warranties
The site is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the extent permitted by law, the operator disclaims implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and uninterrupted or error-free operation.
Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by law, the operator will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from use of or inability to use the site, including losses caused by an incorrect device clock, outdated time-zone rules, city-data errors, service interruption, or reliance on a displayed time.
Changes to these terms
The terms may be updated as the site, hosting, or monetization arrangements change. Continued use after revised terms are published constitutes acceptance of the revised version to the extent permitted by law.

Questions about these terms should be directed to the site operator through the public contact method associated with the live Globe O'Clock domain.
