Terms of Service

Introduction

Welcome to PicnicPlan (“we,” “our,” or “us”). These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of our website at overthat.com and all associated picnic and outdoor-dining calculators, tools, and services (collectively, the “Service”).

By accessing or using our Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you disagree with any part of these Terms, you may not access the Service.

Acceptance of Terms

By accessing, browsing, or using PicnicPlan, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference.

We reserve the right to update or modify these Terms at any time without prior notice. Your continued use of the Service after any such changes constitutes acceptance of the new Terms.

Informational Use & Verifying Results

PicnicPlan provides estimates and tools for general guidance and informational purposes only. Calculator results and the guidance on the Service are informational and may be incomplete or not fit for every situation. Appetites, cooler performance, ambient temperature, and food-safety needs vary from one gathering to the next. By using the Service you agree to treat results as general estimates rather than a guarantee, to use a food thermometer and your own judgment around perishable food, and to follow official food-safety guidance (such as your local health authority) for anything that matters to you or your guests’ health. Nothing on this site is professional food-safety, medical, dietary, or catering advice.

Description of Service

PicnicPlan provides free, practical calculators and educational resources, including:

• Cooler ice ratio calculator
• Food per guest calculator
• Picnic packing list generator
• Picnic blanket size calculator
• Portion planner and picnic timing & prep schedule
• Educational content, guides, and best practices

All tools are provided free of charge. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time.

User Responsibilities

Appropriate Use

Users of our tools and website agree to:

• Use the tools in good faith for legitimate personal purposes
• Provide accurate figures when using our calculators
• Not attempt to disrupt or compromise the website’s functionality
• Not use automated systems to access our tools excessively
• Respect intellectual property rights
• Not use the tools for any illegal or unauthorised purpose

Your Own Judgment

You are responsible for your own food-safety and event decisions. Our tools are designed to assist and inform, not to replace your own judgment or official food-safety guidance for your situation.

Tool Accuracy and Disclaimers

Calculation Accuracy

Our calculators are provided for informational and educational purposes only. While we strive for accuracy, we cannot guarantee that every calculation will be error-free or suitable for your specific situation. Results are estimates based on common planning conventions and the figures you enter; actual outcomes depend on your cooler, ingredients, weather, and guests.

No Guarantee of Results

PicnicPlan makes no warranties, expressed or implied, and disclaims all other warranties including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

Food Safety

Any food-safety information on this site (such as how long perishable food can sit out) is general consumer guidance only, is not medical advice, and does not account for every ingredient, illness risk, or local regulation. Use a food thermometer, follow your local health authority’s guidance, and use your own judgment, especially for higher-risk foods, hot weather, or guests who are pregnant, elderly, very young, or immunocompromised.

Intellectual Property Rights

Limitation of Liability

In no event shall PicnicPlan or its suppliers be liable for any damages (including, without limitation, damages for loss of data, spoiled food, illness, or other loss) arising out of the use or inability to use the materials or tools on PicnicPlan, even if PicnicPlan or an authorised representative has been notified of the possibility of such damage.
