Link policy for www.timeanddate.com

A lot of people ask if they can link to web pages on www.timeanddate.com. The general question is that you may link to www.timeanddate.com using normal links (<a href="http://www.timeanddate.com/...">) as much as you want, so just go ahead and add a link to your favorite pages, for any personal, organizational or commercial pages.

You may not

  • Modify the contents of the pages linked to in any way, without permission
  • Link to individual images or applets (example <a href="http://www.timeanddate.com/image.gif"> or <img src=...> directly to an image or applet). (But you may link to a page on timeanddate.com that contain the applet/image)
  • Make the impression that the www.timeanddate.com site is part of your own web site
  • Make the impression that your web site is a part of www.timeanddate.com (by using the logo or use text such that the viewer would get such a impression)
  • Send any unsolicited mail (mail to people who have not signed up to a mailing list) which includes the address of any resources on the www.timeanddate.com site.
Other than these rules (which should not cause any problems for most sites), you are free to link as much as you want.

Inclusion of URL addresses in other media than the Internet

If you want to publish or include the address of some page on this web site in some newspaper, magazine, television or radio program, that is fine, you are allowed to do so.

It's recommended that you choose to publish the address to one of the main pages, with a simple URL, like http://www.timeanddate.com for the main page, http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/ for The World Clock and http://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/ for the calendar to make it easier for the reader/listener to get it right, but that is up to you. If the wanted URL is more advanced, you are free to include it as well, but notice that it might be more difficult to use that address for your viewers/readers/listeners.

If you want, you could inform The Webmaster that you are publishing the address, it's always nice to know about such publishing.

Explanations

  • URL: Uniform Resource Locator, a address that identifies some resource, e.g. the web-page http://www.timeanddate.com
  • Location-field: Above the web-page in most web-browsers, shows the address of the current web-page, usually begins with http://
