pubtime – Terms of Service

Last updated: November 17, 2025

1. About these Terms

These Terms govern your access to and use of pubtime (the “Service”). By using the Service you agree to these Terms. If you are accepting on behalf of an organisation, you represent that you have authority to bind that organisation.

2. Related documents

Your use of the Service is also subject to our Privacy Policy and our Cookie Policy. Those documents explain how we handle personal data and cookies.

3. The Service

pubtime helps groups find suitable times to meet. It also offers an optional feature that – after a specified pause – contacts one or more participants to coordinate the next event by proposing times.

We may improve or change the Service over time. We will try to avoid disrupting your use and will communicate significant changes.

4. Eligibility and accounts

You must be at least 13 to use the Service. You are responsible for your account credentials and for keeping your information accurate. We may require email verification to prevent abuse.

5. Your content and permissions

You retain all rights to the event information and content you submit (“User Content”). You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive licence to host, process, transmit, and display User Content solely to operate and improve the Service and to share it with the participants you designate.

You confirm that you have the necessary rights to submit User Content and that it does not infringe anyone’s rights or contain unlawful material.

Feedback. If you provide ideas, suggestions, or feedback, you grant us a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use them without restriction or obligation to you.

6. Invitations and communications

The Service sends essential messages – for example invitations, reminders, confirmations, and (if enabled) follow-up coordination requests. These are service communications, not marketing. You may adjust notification settings where provided.

When you invite participants, you warrant that you are permitted to provide their details for scheduling and to send them service communications via the Service. We will only send marketing communications with your explicit consent.

7. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  • use the Service unlawfully or in a way that infringes others’ rights;
  • introduce malware, attempt to gain unauthorised access, or interfere with the Service;
  • misrepresent your identity or send unsolicited marketing via the Service;
  • collect or process special-category data using the Service unless permitted by law and appropriate safeguards are in place;
  • scrape, bulk-extract, or rate-limit-evade our systems except as permitted by an agreed API or written permission.

We may suspend or terminate access for breaches of these Terms or to protect the Service and its users.

8. Third-party services

If the Service integrates with third-party tools (for example calendar or email services), your use of those tools is governed by their terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for third-party services.

9. Availability, support, and beta features

We aim to keep the Service available and reliable, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted operation. Planned maintenance and outages may occur. Support is available via contact@pubtime.pro.

We may offer early-access or beta features. These are provided for evaluation, may change at any time, and could be less reliable than main features.

10. Changes to the Service or Terms

We may update the Service and these Terms. If changes are material we will notify you in advance where reasonable. Your continued use after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.

11. Fees

The Service is currently provided without charge. If we introduce paid features in future, we will present applicable terms and pricing before you opt in.

12. Intellectual property

We own the Service and all related intellectual property. These Terms do not transfer ownership. You may not copy, distribute, or reverse engineer any part of the Service except as permitted by law.

13. Warranties and disclaimers

The Service is provided on an “as is” basis. To the extent permitted by law, we disclaim all implied warranties. Nothing in these Terms affects your non-excludable statutory rights.

14. Liability

Nothing in these Terms limits liability for fraud, or for death or personal injury caused by negligence. Subject to the preceding sentence, our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Service is limited to GBP £100.

15. Indemnity (business users)

If you are using the Service on behalf of a business, you agree to indemnify pubtime against third-party claims arising from your unlawful use of the Service or breach of these Terms.

16. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time and may request deletion of your account. We may suspend or terminate access if you breach these Terms or if we discontinue the Service.

On termination, Sections 5 (Your content and permissions), 7 (Acceptable use), 12 (Intellectual property), 13 (Warranties and disclaimers), 14 (Liability), 15 (Indemnity), 17 (General), 18 (Governing law and venue), and 19 (Force majeure) survive.

17. General

  • Severability. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remainder remains in full force.
  • Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our consent. We may assign to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
  • Waiver. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.
  • Entire agreement. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service and supersede prior agreements about the Service.
  • No third-party rights. A person who is not a party to these Terms has no rights under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce them.

18. Governing law and venue

These Terms and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them are governed by the laws of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction.

19. Force majeure

We are not liable for delay or failure to perform caused by events beyond our reasonable control – including acts of God, internet or power outages, strikes, or government action.
