Last updated: October 30, 2026

01

Acceptance

By accessing tidestime.com, you agree to these terms and the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the service.

02

The service

TidesTime provides tide times, harmonic and model-based predictions, charts, calendars, maps, astronomical information, weather context, and related reference material. Features and coverage may change without notice.

03

No navigation or safety guarantee

Tide predictions are estimates based on available data and models. They are not measurements of current conditions and must not be treated as a guarantee of water level, current, access, flooding, or safety.

Do not rely on TidesTime as the sole source for navigation, boating, fishing, coastal access, emergency response, engineering, flood protection, or other decisions that may affect health, safety, property, or the environment. Use official notices, local knowledge, current observations, charts, and qualified professional advice.

04

Permitted use

You may access and use the public website for lawful personal, educational, research, or internal business purposes. You are responsible for how you use the information.

  • Do not interfere with the service, bypass access controls, introduce malicious code, or attempt to disrupt availability.
  • Do not use excessive automated requests that place an unreasonable load on the service or its providers.
  • Do not misrepresent predictions as official observations, safety notices, or measurements from a government authority.
  • Do not remove source attribution or present third-party data as if it were owned or independently verified by TidesTime.
05

Data, content, and intellectual property

The website design, software, editorial content, and original presentation are protected by applicable intellectual property rules. Third-party datasets, model outputs, map tiles, and weather information remain subject to their own licences and attribution requirements.

No licence is granted to resell, systematically extract, or create a competing dataset from the service except as expressly permitted by applicable law or by written permission.

06

Third-party services

The service may display or link to content supplied by third parties. TidesTime does not control those services and is not responsible for their availability, accuracy, security, or terms.

07

Availability and changes

We aim to keep the service available and accurate, but interruptions, missing stations, calculation errors, and outdated source data can occur. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the service at any time.

08

Disclaimers

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the service is provided on an as-is and as-available basis without warranties of accuracy, completeness, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or uninterrupted availability.

Nothing in these terms excludes a warranty or right that applicable law does not allow to be excluded.

09

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, TidesTime and its operators will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive losses arising from use of, inability to use, or reliance on the service.

Where liability cannot lawfully be excluded, it will be limited to the minimum amount or remedy required by applicable law.

10

Changes and governing terms

We may update these terms by posting a revised version on this page. Continued use after an update means that the revised terms apply to subsequent use. These terms are governed by applicable law, including mandatory consumer protections that cannot be waived.
