Terms of Service

Last updated: Mar 1, 2025

In Human Time (Summary)

  • Use our tools freely for personal and commercial purposes
  • Don't try to break our site or use it to harm others
  • We provide this service "as is" with no date accuracy guarantees
  • Don't blame us if your countdown to vacation is off by a day
  • We reserve the right to calculate how many days you're banned if you misbehave

Welcome, Time Traveler

By using HowManyDays.org, you're agreeing to these terms. Unlike other terms of service that require a law degree to understand, we've tried to keep ours simple and, dare we say, slightly entertaining.

These terms create a legal agreement between you and HowManyDays.org, so while we've written them in a friendly way, they do contain actual legal obligations. If you don't agree with these terms, unfortunately you'll need to find another way to count your days.

What You Can Do With Our Service

HowManyDays.org provides tools to calculate days between dates, countdowns to future events, and trackers for days since past events. You can:

Feel Free To

  • Use our calculators for personal projects
  • Share links to our date calculations with friends and family
  • Save and bookmark your favorite date calculations
  • Use our calculator for planning purposes

Please Don't

  • Use our service for any illegal purposes
  • Attempt to hack, break, or disrupt our service
  • Blame us when time passes faster than expected

The Accuracy of Time

"Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so." — Douglas Adams

While we work hard to ensure our date calculations are accurate, we don't guarantee perfect precision for a few reasons:

  • Different time zones can affect day calculations
  • Leap years, daylight saving time, and calendar anomalies exist
  • Sometimes governments change dates or calendar systems
  • Time itself is a human construct (mind blown)

Important note: Do not use our date calculator for critical timing in medical, financial, legal, or other high-stakes situations where precision timing is crucial. We're great for counting down to birthdays, not spacecraft launches.

Content & Intellectual Property

All content on HowManyDays.org—including our design, logo, calculations, and witty date puns—is protected by copyright and intellectual property laws. You may not copy or repurpose our site or its features without permission.

However, any personal countdowns, calculations, or dates you create are yours. We don't claim any ownership over your special days (though we might be silently excited about your upcoming birthday).

User-Generated Content

If our service allows you to create content or share date-related information, you agree:

  • You have the right to share that content
  • Your content doesn't violate any laws or infringe on others' rights
  • Your content isn't harmful, offensive, or inappropriate

We reserve the right to remove any user content that violates these terms, though we don't actively monitor everything users create.

Disclaimers & Limitations

HowManyDays.org is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. We don't guarantee that:

  • The service will always be available (even time stops occasionally)
  • The service will be error-free (we're human, unlike our date calculations)
  • Bugs will be fixed at light speed (we're fast, but not that fast)
  • The service will meet your specific requirements (though we try our best)

In no event will HowManyDays.org be liable for any lost profits, data, or special, indirect, or consequential damages arising from your use of our service.

Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to HowManyDays.org if you violate these terms or use the service in a way that could harm us, other users, or third parties.

If we do need to show you the door, we'll calculate exactly how many days you've been banned for—it's just what we do.

Changes to Terms

We may update these terms from time to time. If we make significant changes, we'll make sure to let you know through a site notice or other communication.

Continued use of HowManyDays.org after changes means you accept the updated terms.
