Terms and Conditions

About these terms

These Terms and Conditions govern your use of UK Bank Holidays Info at https://bankholidaysinfo.com. The website is owned and operated by James Wilson in the United Kingdom. References to “we”, “us” and “our” mean James Wilson as the website operator.

Please read these Terms before using the website. By accessing or using the website, you agree to follow them. If you do not agree with these Terms, you should stop using the website.

Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information, while our Disclaimer explains the limits of the information and tools we provide. Those pages form part of the rules that apply to your use of the website.

What the website provides

UK Bank Holidays Info is an independent information website. It provides bank holiday dates for England and Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland, together with calendars, articles, countdowns, date checkers, annual leave planning tools, and other features intended to help people plan their time.

The website is not an official government service. We are not part of or endorsed by the UK Government, GOV.UK, a devolved government, a local authority, a bank, an employer, or another public body. Official UK bank holiday dates are published at https://www.gov.uk/bank-holidays.

Access to the website is currently free, and visitors do not need to create an account. If we introduce a paid service, membership, or account feature in the future, separate terms may apply and will be provided before a user agrees to that service.

Information is not professional advice

The website provides general information and planning assistance. Nothing on the website is legal, employment, financial, tax, travel, weather, business, or other professional advice. Our content cannot take account of every visitor’s contract, working pattern, location, employer rules, bookings, or personal circumstances.

You are responsible for checking information before making a decision that may affect your rights, work, money, travel, childcare, safety, or legal obligations. Important dates should be confirmed with GOV.UK or another relevant official source. Questions about individual employment rights should be checked with an employer, HR department, trade union, Acas, or a qualified adviser.

Accuracy and regional differences

We take reasonable care when researching and presenting bank holiday information. We may use the official GOV.UK bank holiday service, legislation, and announcements from the relevant government or public authority when checking a date.

We do not guarantee that every date, explanation, calendar entry, or tool result will always be complete, current, or free from error. Governments can announce special bank holidays, publish substitute days, or revise information after a page has been prepared. A technical problem or delayed update may also affect what the website displays.

Bank holidays are not the same in every part of the United Kingdom. A holiday observed in Scotland or Northern Ireland may not apply in England and Wales, and some summer bank holiday dates differ by region. Local public holidays, school holidays, workplace closures, and business opening times are separate matters and may not match our national bank holiday listings.

Using our planning tools

Our Bank Holiday Countdown, UK Bank Holiday Checker, Annual Leave Maximiser, calendars, year tools, and related features provide results from the information and selections available at the time. A result may depend on the chosen region, year, date, working days, leave allowance, device settings, or other information supplied by the visitor.

These tools do not know the terms of your employment contract, your employer’s leave year, your rota, leave already taken, carried-over leave, workplace closure dates, or whether a request will be approved. A result is an estimate for planning and does not create a right to leave, confirm pay, approve an absence, or change a contractual obligation.

You should review your selections and confirm an important result independently. We may correct, change, suspend, or remove a tool if its data, operation, or purpose changes.

Permitted use

You may use the website for lawful personal, educational, and internal business reference. You may view pages, use the public tools, print a page for your own reference, save a reasonable extract, or share a link to a public page.

You may link to the website if the link is lawful, fair, and does not damage our reputation. A link must not suggest that we endorse, sponsor, or have a partnership with you unless we have confirmed that relationship in writing.

Any permission granted by these Terms is limited, non-exclusive, and revocable. It does not transfer ownership of our content, branding, design, or software to you.

Prohibited use

You must not use the website in a way that breaks the law, infringes another person’s rights, or interferes with the website’s availability or security. You must not introduce malicious code, attempt unauthorised access, probe for vulnerabilities without written permission, evade access controls, or place an unreasonable load on our systems.

You must not copy, scrape, download, extract, republish, sell, license, or create a competing database from all or a substantial part of the website unless the law permits the activity or we have given written permission. You must not remove copyright notices, present our original content as your own, or use our name or branding in a misleading way.

Automated access that sends excessive requests, bypasses technical restrictions, or disrupts ordinary visitors is not permitted. Search engines may index public pages in accordance with the instructions made available to legitimate crawlers.

Intellectual property

Unless a page says otherwise, the original text, page design, graphics, branding, software, and arrangement of material on UK Bank Holidays Info are owned by or licensed to James Wilson. Copyright, trade mark, database, and other intellectual property laws may protect that material.

Bank holiday facts and official government information may come from public sector sources. Crown copyright and database rights remain with their respective owners. Public sector information used under the Open Government Licence remains subject to that licence, which is available at https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/doc/open-government-licence/version/3/.

Other names, logos, photographs, maps, information, and services belong to their respective owners where applicable. Mentioning an organisation or linking to it does not give us ownership of its material and does not imply that it endorses us.

Contact messages, corrections and feedback

You may contact us to report an error, suggest an improvement, raise a privacy concern, or ask a question about the website. Your message must be lawful and must not knowingly contain malicious material, infringe another person’s rights, or impersonate someone else.

You keep ownership of original material you send to us. You give us permission to use the substance of a correction, suggestion, or technical report to investigate the issue and improve the website. We will not publish your name or contact details with a contribution unless you agree or the law permits us to do so.

Do not send passwords, payment information, medical records, identity documents, or other sensitive information that is not necessary for your enquiry. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle the personal information contained in a message.

External links and services

The website may link to GOV.UK, public authorities, weather services, travel providers, employers, advertisers, or other external websites. We provide links for reference and convenience, but we do not control the availability, security, accuracy, content, or privacy practices of an external website.

A link does not amount to an endorsement or guarantee. When you follow an external link, the other website’s terms and privacy policy apply. Any transaction, booking, communication, or dispute with a third party is between you and that third party.

Advertising

The website may display advertising in the future, including advertisements supplied through Google AdSense. Advertising can help pay the cost of operating the website, but the presence of an advertisement does not mean that we recommend or guarantee the advertiser, product, service, price, availability, or claim.

You are responsible for checking an advertiser and its terms before making a purchase or providing personal information. We are not the seller and are not a party to a transaction merely because an advertisement appeared on our website.

If we publish sponsored or affiliate content, we will identify the commercial relationship where disclosure is required. Payment will not determine the bank holiday dates shown by our tools or prevent us from correcting inaccurate information.

Privacy and cookies

Our Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, the reasons we use it, how long we keep it, and the rights available to individuals. By sending information through the website, you acknowledge that it will be handled as described in that policy.

The website may use necessary cookies or similar technologies to provide security and remember privacy choices. Non-essential analytics or advertising technologies will be managed through the consent choices required by applicable law. You can change an available choice using the cookie settings provided on the website.

Website availability and changes

We aim to keep the website accessible, but we do not promise uninterrupted, secure, or error-free availability. Access may be affected by maintenance, updates, hosting failures, security incidents, internet problems, legal requirements, or events outside our reasonable control.

We may add, change, suspend, or remove a page, tool, feature, design, data source, or supported year. We may also move the website to a different host or domain. We are not required to keep every past version of a page or tool publicly available.

Our responsibility to you

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, and any statutory rights or remedies that a consumer cannot waive.

Subject to those protections, the website is provided free of charge for general information and planning. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for loss or damage caused by relying on an unverified date, choosing the wrong region or input, using an estimated tool result, being unable to access the website, or following information on an external website.

If you use the website for business purposes, we will not be liable, to the fullest extent permitted by law, for loss of profit, revenue, business opportunity, anticipated savings, goodwill, or business data. We are not responsible for indirect or consequential loss that was not reasonably foreseeable when you began using the website.

You are responsible for protecting your device, browser, and information when using the internet. We take reasonable steps to operate the website safely, but no internet service can promise complete security or freedom from harmful material.

Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms when the website, its services, or applicable law changes. The date at the top identifies the latest version. Updated Terms apply from the date they are published and do not remove rights or remedies that arose before the update.

If a change materially affects how visitors may use an existing service, we will provide an appropriate notice where reasonably possible. Continuing to use the website after the updated Terms take effect means that the new version applies to later use.

Governing law and disputes

These Terms and any non-contractual dispute connected with the website are governed by the laws of England and Wales. If you are a consumer living in Scotland or Northern Ireland, you keep any mandatory protections provided by the law that applies where you live and may use the courts available to you under that law.

Before starting court proceedings, you and we should first try to resolve the issue through written communication. This does not prevent either party from seeking urgent relief or exercising another legal right where informal resolution is not suitable.

General terms

If a court or other competent authority finds that part of these Terms is unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to apply. A delay in enforcing a right does not mean that the right has been waived.

These Terms do not give enforcement rights to a person who is not a party to them, except where applicable law requires otherwise. They describe the agreement concerning use of the website but do not replace rights or obligations that the law does not allow either party to exclude.
