Terms & Conditions

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using Schengen90in180.com ("the website", "we", "our", or "us"), you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be legally bound by these Terms & Conditions ("Terms") and our Privacy Policy.

If you do not agree to these Terms, you must discontinue use of this website and its calculation tools immediately.

2. Website Purpose and Permitted Use

Schengen90in180.com provides a free, browser-based travel calculator and explanatory guides regarding the Schengen 90/180-day short-stay rule defined under Article 6 of EU Regulation 2016/399.

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, revocable, and non-transferable license to access and use the website for individual, non-commercial travel planning and educational purposes. You agree not to:

• Scrape, harvest, or extract data from the website using automated bots, crawlers, or scripts without prior written consent.
• Attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or tamper with website security or client-side assets.
• Misrepresent calculator results as certified legal documentation or official government approvals.
• Use the website in any manner that impairs site stability or interferes with other users' access.

3. Calculator Functionality and Limitations

Our calculator mathematically applies the rolling 180-day reference period by counting total calendar days of stay across entered itineraries. However, travelers must recognize the following limitations:

• Estimation Nature: All calculation outputs—including days used, days remaining, and earliest safe re-entry dates—are estimates derived strictly from the dates you input.
• Independent Computation: Our calculation engine operates locally and is not connected to national border control databases, consular visa systems, or the EU Entry/Exit System (EES).
• Complex Circumstances: The standard algorithm models general short-stay rules. It may not reflect national long-stay visas (Type D), bilateral visa waiver treaties, local border traffic permits, or residency rights governed by domestic legislation.

4. User Responsibility for Entering Accurate Travel Dates

The accuracy of any result generated by the calculator depends entirely upon the accuracy, completeness, and chronological validity of the dates you enter.

You are solely responsible for:

• Verifying all previous entry and exit stamps or digital travel records.
• Ensuring that both arrival and departure days are counted, in accordance with EU border regulations.
• Accounting for all transit stops through international airports in Schengen territory where passport control was cleared.
• Safeguarding your own travel documentation and backups of planned itineraries.

5. No Guarantee of Immigration Eligibility, Admission, or Visa Approval

A calculation showing that an itinerary is "compliant" or has "days remaining" does not guarantee that you will be admitted into the Schengen Area or that a consular visa application will be granted.

Under European law (including Articles 6 and 14 of the Schengen Borders Code), sovereign border control authorities hold absolute discretion to grant or refuse entry based on comprehensive border checks, including:

• Passport validity (must typically be valid for at least 3 months beyond the planned departure date).
• Justification of the purpose and conditions of the intended stay.
• Possession of sufficient means of subsistence for the duration of the visit and return.
• Absence of alerts issued in the Schengen Information System (SIS II) for the purpose of refusing entry.
• Assessment of whether the traveler poses a risk to public policy, internal security, or public health.

6. No Legal or Immigration Advice

The information, calculation outputs, explanatory articles, and FAQs on this website are published for general educational and travel planning guidance only. Nothing on this website constitutes legal, consular, or immigration advice.

No attorney-client, advisor-client, or professional relationship is established through your use of the website. If you are facing complex visa situations, potential overstay inquiries, or immigration violations, you should seek the counsel of a certified immigration attorney or authorized consular official.

7. Need to Verify with Official Authorities

Immigration regulations, visa waiver requirements, and border procedures evolve over time. Travelers are strongly urged to verify their individual travel parameters with official sources, including:

• The official diplomatic mission (embassy or consulate) of your primary destination country.
• The official European Commission DG Migration and Home Affairs portal ↗.
• Official national border authorities of the member state through which you intend to enter Europe.
