Terms & Conditions
Effective September 2, 2026
Using this site
By using Real Online Timer, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree with them, the only real remedy is not to use the site — there's no account to cancel or subscription to opt out of.
The service
Real Online Timer is a free, browser-based countdown timer. It's provided as-is and free of charge, with no guarantee of uninterrupted availability. Features, presets, and available timer styles may change over time without notice.
No warranty, use at your own risk
The timer is built to be accurate — see About Us for how — but it's still a browser tab, not certified equipment. Don't rely on it as the sole timing mechanism for anything safety-critical (medication schedules, cooking that poses a fire risk if left unattended, or similar). The site is provided without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including accuracy, availability, or fitness for a particular purpose.
Your saved settings
Durations, alarm preferences, theme, and custom presets are stored only in your browser's local storage — see the Privacy Policy for detail. Clearing your browser's site data, using private/incognito mode, or switching devices or browsers will lose that data. We aren't able to recover it, because we never had a copy of it in the first place.
Acceptable use
Use the site for its intended purpose — timing things. Don't attempt to attack, overload, scrape at abusive volume, or otherwise interfere with the site's normal operation, and don't use it for any unlawful purpose.
Content and intellectual property
The site's design, text, and code are original to this project unless otherwise noted. You're welcome to link to any page on this site. Reproducing the site's design or written content elsewhere without permission isn't authorized.
Third-party links
Some pages link to third-party sites (for example, Cloudflare's own privacy policy). We don't control those sites and aren't responsible for their content or practices.
Changes to these terms
These terms may be updated from time to time; the effective date above reflects the most recent change. Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised terms.
