Is there something wrong with your keyboard ?

written in Webservice is Now.Date

Now.Date returns the date part of local date/time where code is executed. Date.UtcNow is what you need to use to coordinate time between different time zones. With Date you can also convert Utc to local time anywhere if needed.

It must be, perhaps their servers clock is set wrong, or perhaps the service is not actually sited where you think?

On more suggestion about time retrieved from non-local server: many countries have summer time but many asian countries do not have summer time. Please see my blog at:here which is about last Sunday of the month.
