4. Accuracy and no guarantee of currency
We research our content carefully and verify factual claims where sources exist. However, a significant portion of what we publish concerns matters that change from year to year — festival dates, ground layouts, stall counts, traffic and parking arrangements, museum timings, entry fees and prices.
We make no warranty that the content is complete, current or error-free at the time you read it. You are responsible for verifying time-sensitive information against official sources before acting on it. See our Disclaimer for detail.

If the site allows comments, corrections or other submissions, you are solely responsible for what you submit. By submitting content, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide licence to publish, edit, reproduce and display it in connection with the site.
You must not submit content that is unlawful, defamatory, obscene, hateful, harassing, misleading, infringing of any third party’s rights, or that constitutes spam or unsolicited promotion. We reserve the right to edit, refuse or remove any submission at our discretion and without notice, and to block users who breach these terms.
6. External links
This site links to third-party websites, including government portals, news reports and reference sources, for your convenience.

7. Advertising and sponsored content
This site is supported by third-party advertising, which allows content to remain free to read. Advertisements are served by external networks and are not editorial endorsements.

Content on this site is published for general information and cultural interest. It does not constitute legal, financial, medical, safety, dietary or professional travel advice.
