The "USATimeZones.com" name and logo are marks of the site operators. Other product and company names referenced on the site (such as Google, Leaflet, OpenStreetMap, or CARTO) are the property of their respective owners and are used for identification purposes only.

The site contains links to third-party websites and embeds third-party services (for example, advertising provided by Google AdSense, the Leaflet map library, and OpenStreetMap/CARTO map tiles).

7. No warranties
The site and all content, tools, and services on it are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, non-infringement, or uninterrupted availability.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall USATimeZones.com, its operators, contributors, or service providers be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages — including loss of profits, data, business, or goodwill — arising out of or in connection with your access to or use of (or inability to access or use) the site, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), or any other legal theory, and whether or not we have been advised of the possibility of such damage.
