Welcome to Self Guided Travel, an independent travel publishing platform for routes, landscapes, wild places and independent journeys, owned and published by ahchoo ("we", "us" or "our").
These Terms and Conditions govern your use of our websites, accessible at:
www.selfguidedadventures.co.uk
(collectively, the "Site").
By accessing or using the Site, you agree to these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree, you must not use the Site.
1. Purpose of the Site
Self Guided Travel is an independent travel publishing platform exploring trails, landscapes, wild places, destinations and ways to experience them independently.
The Site publishes editorial content, routes, practical guides, destination information, accommodation information, suggested journeys, walking and cycling breaks, maps and other travel-related information.
Content published on the Site is intended to help you research, discover and plan your own travel.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, Self Guided Travel does not provide, operate or sell accommodation, transport, tours or other travel services featured on the Site.
2. Use of Content
All content on the Site, including text, photography, images, graphics, branding, design, video, route information and other media, is owned by ahchoo as publisher of Self Guided Travel, its licensors and/or its content contributors unless otherwise stated.
Content is protected by applicable copyright, trademark and other intellectual property laws.
You may access and share links to content for personal, non-commercial use.
You may not reproduce, republish, sell, distribute, modify, scrape, systematically extract or commercially exploit our content without prior written permission.
Where downloadable files, route data or other materials are provided, any additional terms displayed with those materials also apply.
3. Travel and Route Information
We take reasonable care when researching and publishing information, but travel information can change.
Routes, rights of way, access, public transport, ferry services, opening times, accommodation, businesses, prices, weather, trail conditions, closures, diversions and local regulations may change without notice.
Maps, route descriptions, GPX files and other navigation information published by Self Guided Travel should not be relied upon as your only means of navigation.
You are responsible for assessing conditions, checking current information from appropriate official sources, carrying suitable equipment and deciding whether a route, journey or activity is appropriate for you.
Nothing published on the Site constitutes professional safety, medical or legal advice.
4. Third-Party Services and Bookings
The Site may feature or link to third-party businesses and services, including accommodation providers, booking platforms, tour operators, transport providers, attractions and other travel-related businesses.
When you follow a link to a third-party website or booking service, any booking, payment, contract or other transaction is between you and that third party.
The third party's own terms, cancellation policies, privacy policies and other conditions will apply.
Self Guided Travel does not control third-party services and is not responsible for their availability, pricing, accuracy, performance, cancellations, amendments or fulfilment.
You should review the provider's information and terms before making a booking or purchase.
5. Affiliate Links and Commercial Relationships
Some links on Self Guided Travel are affiliate links. If you follow one of these links and make a booking or purchase, we may receive a commission from the third-party provider at no additional cost to you.
The Site may also contain advertising, sponsored content, featured placements, commercial partnerships and other paid relationships.
Where appropriate, we identify advertising, sponsored content and other commercial relationships so that their nature is clear to readers.
A commercial relationship does not mean that every reference to a business, destination, accommodation provider or place on Self Guided Travel is paid for.
Our wider editorial coverage may be created independently of any commercial relationship.
6. Accommodation Information and Maps
Accommodation listings, recommendations, maps and booking links may include information supplied by third-party accommodation providers, booking platforms or technology partners.
Prices, availability, ratings, photographs, descriptions and other information provided by third parties can change and may not always reflect current conditions.
Where you make an accommodation booking through a third-party service linked from Self Guided Travel, the booking is made with that third party and is subject to its terms and conditions.
7. Suggested Journeys and Breaks
Journeys, walking breaks, cycling breaks, itineraries and other suggested travel ideas published by Self Guided Travel are provided as editorial and planning information unless expressly stated otherwise.
They may bring together information about routes, destinations, accommodation and places to visit, but their publication does not in itself constitute the sale or provision of a package holiday or travel service by Self Guided Travel.
Where a third-party operator or provider offers a bookable service connected to a journey or break, this will be identified and the provider's own booking terms will apply.
8. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, ahchoo and Self Guided Travel will not be liable for loss, damage, injury, delay, disruption or inconvenience arising from reliance on information published on the Site or from travel undertaken using that information.
We are not responsible for the acts, omissions, cancellations, service failures or other performance of independent third-party providers.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where it would be unlawful to do so, including liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.
9. User Conduct
You must not:
- use the Site for any unlawful purpose;
- interfere with the operation or security of the Site;
- attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Site or its systems;
- scrape, harvest or systematically extract content or data without permission;
- reproduce or commercially exploit our content without permission; or
- misrepresent your identity or affiliation with Self Guided Travel.
We reserve the right to restrict access where we reasonably believe these Terms have been breached.
10. External Websites
Links to external websites are provided for information, convenience and, in some cases, booking or commercial purposes.
We do not control external websites and are not responsible for their content, security, availability or privacy practices.
A link from Self Guided Travel does not necessarily constitute an endorsement of every product, service, statement or piece of information provided by the linked website.
11. Changes to the Site and These Terms
We may change, update, suspend or remove content or features of the Site without notice.
We may also update these Terms and Conditions from time to time. The latest version will be published on this page with the updated date shown above.
Your continued use of the Site following an update is subject to the revised Terms.
12. Governing Law
These Terms and Conditions are governed by the laws of England and Wales.
Any dispute relating to these Terms or use of the Site will be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales, subject to any rights you may have under applicable consumer law.
