Terms of Use & Disclaimer

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of hilbretides.co.uk (the "Service"), operated by HilbreTides ("we", "our", or "us"). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

These Terms should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle data and cookies.

Tide times, heights, crossing windows and weather information shown on the Service are predictions and are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. While we take care to source data from reputable providers and present it accurately, we make no warranty that the information is complete, accurate, current, or suitable for any particular purpose.

You are responsible for your own safety and for verifying conditions before and during any crossing. The Service is not a substitute for local knowledge, official safety advice, or sound personal judgement.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, HilbreTides shall not be liable for any loss, injury, or damage of any kind arising from your use of, or reliance on, the Service or any information it contains, including any decision to cross to or from Hilbre Island.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability where it would be unlawful to do so, including liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence.

Tidal predictions are derived from the Admiralty UK Tidal API. This Service contains ADMIRALTY® tidal data © Crown copyright and database right. Weather data is provided by Open-Meteo. We are not affiliated with, nor endorsed by, these providers, and we are not responsible for the accuracy of their underlying data.

Tide predictions for some Wirral locations are derived by applying published high-water offsets to Liverpool (Gladstone Dock) predictions and should be treated as indicative.

Third-party data remains the property of its respective owners.

You agree not to misuse the Service, including by attempting to disrupt it, access it other than through the interface we provide, scrape it at a volume that places undue load on our systems, or use it for any unlawful purpose.

The Service may display third-party advertising (for example, via Google AdSense) and may link to external websites.
