1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using meetoverlap.com ("Overlap," "we," "us," or "our"), you agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use the service.
These terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who access or use the service. Your continued use of Overlap following any changes to these terms constitutes acceptance of those changes.
2. Service Description
Overlap is a free, browser-based timezone meeting planning tool. It allows users to:
- Select multiple cities and timezones
- Visualize working hour overlaps across those timezones
- Select a meeting time and generate a shareable link
The service is provided free of charge and requires no registration or account creation. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the service at any time without prior notice or liability.
3. Acceptable Use
You agree to use Overlap only for lawful purposes. You must not:
- Use the service in any way that violates applicable local, national, or international laws or regulations
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the service or its related systems
- Use automated scripts, bots, or scrapers to access the service at scale
- Attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or extract source code from the service
- Use the service to transmit any harmful, offensive, or unlawful content
- Interfere with or disrupt the service's infrastructure or other users' access
- Use the service to misrepresent meeting times with intent to deceive others
We reserve the right to terminate access for any user who violates these terms.
4. Accuracy & Liability for Scheduling
Overlap uses IANA timezone data provided by your browser to calculate time conversions. While we strive for accuracy, timezone rules worldwide are subject to change by governments — including daylight saving time adjustments, which may not be immediately reflected in browser data.
Timezone abbreviations (EST, BST, CET, IST, PKT) may refer to different offsets depending on the time of year. Overlap uses city-based IANA timezone identifiers to minimize ambiguity, but users are responsible for confirming the correct timezone with their counterparts.
5. Advertising
Overlap displays advertisements served by Google AdSense. These ads help us keep the service free for all users.
By using Overlap, you acknowledge that:
- Advertisements displayed on the site are provided by Google LLC and are subject to Google's advertising policies
- Google may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to personalize the ads shown to you, based on your prior browsing activity
- We do not control the specific ads shown, and advertisements are not endorsements by Overlap
- You can opt out of personalized advertising at adssettings.google.com
We comply with Google AdSense program policies, which prohibit us from clicking our own ads, encouraging users to click ads, or placing ads in a manner designed to cause accidental clicks.

8. Disclaimers

9. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Overlap and its operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages — including but not limited to:
- Missed meetings or appointments
- Loss of business or contracts
- Loss of earnings or profits
- Reputational damage
- Any loss arising from reliance on incorrect timezone calculations
This limitation applies regardless of whether such damages are based on contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or any other legal theory, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damage.
In jurisdictions that do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.
UK and EU users: Nothing in these terms limits or excludes our liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.

These Terms & Conditions are governed by and construed in accordance with applicable laws. If you are accessing Overlap from the European Union, you may also have the right to rely on the mandatory consumer protection provisions of your country of residence.
We encourage you to contact us first at info@meetoverlap.com to resolve any disputes informally. We will make a good-faith effort to resolve issues directly before any formal process.
11. Changes to These Terms
We reserve the right to update or change these Terms & Conditions at any time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the new terms.
