Terms of use

Effective date: August 8, 2026 · Operated by Provido Digital

These terms cover your use of BoiledEggTimer.com. They’re written to be read, not skimmed past — the short version is: the site is free, use it reasonably, our times are careful guidance rather than guarantees, and decisions about food safety are yours.

Using the site

BoiledEggTimer.com, including its timer, is free for personal, non-commercial use. You agree not to: scrape or republish the site’s content wholesale; send automated traffic to its endpoints (including the egg counter, which is rate-limited and, we’d note, not worth gaming); attempt to disrupt, probe, or overload the site; or misrepresent our content or timer as your own work.

Cook times are guidance

Every time on this site is stated with its assumptions — egg size, starting temperature, water start, method, altitude — and we adjust for the variables that matter. But stoves, pots, pans, air fryers, and eggs themselves vary in ways no website can see. Results are not guaranteed, and where the timer flags a combination as an estimate, treat it as one. If a time seems off in your kitchen, adjust in small steps and tell us.

Food safety is your responsibility

Parts of this site discuss food safety: storage windows, undercooked eggs, and feeding eggs to children or pets. We cite reputable sources such as the USDA and take a deliberately conservative line, but everything here is general information — not medical, dietary, veterinary, or professional advice for your specific situation. Undercooked eggs carry a salmonella risk that is higher for people who are pregnant, very young, elderly, or immunocompromised. When in doubt, cook eggs fully and consult a qualified professional.

Our content and the timer

The text, design, original graphics, and timer software on this site are the property of Provido Digital (© BoiledEggTimer.com, all rights reserved). You’re welcome to link to any page, quote brief excerpts with attribution and a link, and print our charts for personal use. Republishing substantial content, or embedding or redistributing the timer itself, requires our written permission — ask; for reasonable requests we usually say yes.

Ads, affiliate links, and third parties

The site may display advertising and may contain affiliate links, disclosed where they appear. If you buy something through an affiliate link, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you; this never determines what we recommend. Links to external sites are provided in good faith, but those sites are outside our control and governed by their own terms and policies.

No warranties

The site and timer are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied — including fitness for a particular purpose and uninterrupted or error-free operation. An alarm depends on your device honouring it; don’t rely on the timer alone in situations where a missed alarm would cause harm beyond, say, a disappointing egg.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Provido Digital shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, the site — and our total liability for any claim shall not exceed the amount you paid to use the site, which is zero. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Philippines, and any disputes fall under the exclusive jurisdiction of its courts, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.

Changes

We may revise these terms; the effective date above always reflects the current version. Continued use of the site after a revision means you accept it.
