Terms of Service

These terms govern your use of Online Alarm at online-alarm.com. They are written plainly. By using the service you agree to them. If you do not agree, do not use the service.

Agreement

When you access or use the service, you agree to these terms and to the Privacy Policy. If you are using the service on behalf of an organization, you confirm you have authority to bind that organization. If you do not agree to any part of these terms, stop using the service.

Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use the service. If the minimum digital-consent age in your country is higher (for example, 16 in some EU member states), that higher age applies. Creating an account on behalf of someone else without their permission is not allowed.

Your Account

An account is optional. The tools work for anonymous visitors. If you create an account, you are responsible for the activity that happens through it, you must use a real email address you control, and you must keep your password confidential. Tell us at support at online-alarm dot com if you believe your account has been used without your permission. We may suspend or delete accounts that violate these terms, abuse the service, or attempt to compromise other users.

Acceptable Use

You agree not to: use the service for anything illegal; attempt to break, overload, or interfere with the service or its security; access the service through automated means beyond normal browsing (for example, scrapers, bots, or stress-testers) without our written permission; reverse engineer or copy the service for the purpose of building a competing one; upload content that is unlawful, infringing, harassing, or harmful; impersonate another person or organization; or use the service to send unsolicited messages to anyone. We may rate-limit or block requests that look abusive, automated, or designed to harm the service or its users.

Not for Safety-Critical Use

The service is provided for general, day-to-day use: waking up, cooking, working in blocks, coordinating across time zones, and similar tasks. Do not rely on it as the only safeguard for anything where missing the alert would cause harm. Examples include but are not limited to: medication reminders, infant or elderly care, safety-critical work shifts, surgical or medical procedures, flight or train schedules with no margin, emergency response, or anything covered by professional duty-of-care. The service depends on factors outside our control, including your device staying awake, the browser tab staying open, the operating system not muting audio, the device volume being audible, and the device clock being correct. Always have an independent backup (a second alarm on a separate device, a physical alarm clock, a person) for anything where failure is unacceptable.

Service Availability

The service is provided on a best-effort basis. We do not promise it will be available all the time, free of bugs, or accurate to the second. We may change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the service at any time. Where possible we will give notice; sometimes that is not possible.

Intellectual Property

The service's code, design, text, sound, and logos are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by copyright and other laws. You may use the service as intended by these terms. You do not get a licence to copy or republish the service or its design except for normal browser caching and the obvious "share this page" use of public URLs.

Your Content

You keep ownership of any content you save through the service (alarm labels, world-clock city lists, meeting-planner notes, segment names in the study timer, and so on). By saving content, you grant us a limited licence to store and display that content to you so the service can work. We do not claim ownership of your content and we do not display it publicly.

Disclaimers

The service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or that the service will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or accurate. To the maximum extent allowed by law, we disclaim all such warranties. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties; in those places this section applies to the maximum extent permitted.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent allowed by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, arising out of or in connection with your use of the service. Our total liability to you for any claim arising out of or related to the service is limited to the amount you have paid us for the service in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim, or, if greater, fifty US dollars. This limitation applies whether the claim is in contract, tort, statute, or any other theory of liability. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law (for example, gross negligence, fraud, or, in some jurisdictions, personal injury).

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold us harmless from any claim brought by a third party arising out of your use of the service in breach of these terms, your violation of any law, or your infringement of any third party's rights.

Termination

You can stop using the service at any time. If you have an account, you can delete it from the Profile page. We can suspend or end your access if you break these terms, if continuing would expose us or other users to risk, or if we discontinue the service. Sections that by their nature should outlast termination (intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, governing law, and contact) survive after access ends.

Governing Law and Disputes

These terms are governed by Turkish law, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these terms or your use of the service will be brought before the competent courts and execution offices of Fethiye, Turkey. If you are a consumer resident in the EU/EEA, the UK, or another jurisdiction with mandatory consumer-protection rules, those rules also apply and nothing in this section deprives you of protections you have under your local law.

Changes to These Terms

We may change these terms over time. When we make a material change, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page, and, if you have an account, send a notice to your email. Continued use of the service after the change takes effect means you accept the new terms.

Severability and Entire Agreement

If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest stays in effect. These terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us about the service, and replace any earlier agreement on the same subject.
