Terms of Use

These terms govern your use of Sun-Direction.com, published by TECHY SARL (Tunis, Tunisia). Using the site means accepting them. If you do not accept them, please do not use the site.

What the site is

Sun-Direction.com computes where the sun rises, sets and stands over the course of a day for a given place and date, and draws that direction on a map. The calculation is astronomical: it uses the position of the sun relative to the earth for the coordinates and the time zone of the place you asked about. It is free to use, there is nothing to buy from us, and there is no account to create.

What the numbers mean, and what they do not

The times and bearings published here are geometric. They describe where the sun is, not what you will see:

  • They assume a flat, unobstructed horizon. A hill, a building or a tree line moves the moment the sun appears or disappears from where you stand, sometimes by many minutes.
  • They do not account for weather, haze or the exact refraction of the air on the day.
  • A city page is computed for one point in that city. Over a large metropolitan area the answer varies slightly.
  • Time zone and daylight-saving rules are those we hold for the place; governments change them, occasionally at short notice.

Do not rely on this site where being wrong is expensive or dangerous. That includes navigation, aviation, marine use, legal or religious timing obligations, and any situation where a few minutes matter. For those, use an official source published for that purpose.

No warranty

The site and its content are provided "as is", without warranty of any kind, express or implied. We take care to be accurate and we correct errors when we are told of them, but we do not warrant that the site is uninterrupted, error-free, or fit for any particular purpose, and we accept no liability for loss or damage arising from reliance on it. Where this site and an official source disagree, the official source is right.

Advertising and third-party links

The site is funded by advertising served by Google, and it links to other sites. We do not control what those advertisers or sites say, sell or do, and a link or an ad is not an endorsement. Your dealings with them are between you and them. What advertising means for your data is set out in our Privacy Policy.

Acceptable use

You may read the site, link to it, and quote from it with attribution. You may not copy it wholesale or republish its pages as your own, and you may not fetch it at a rate that degrades it for other visitors. Access that does either may be blocked.

The site's text, layout and generated maps are the property of TECHY SARL. The logo is designed by Freepik. Base map tiles and geographic data belong to their respective providers, under their own licences.

Governing law

These terms are governed by Tunisian law, and TECHY SARL is subject to it. Nothing here removes a consumer protection that the law of your own country of residence gives you and does not allow to be waived.
