User agreement
These terms govern access to the public Holiday Manual website. They are written in clear, formal language so you know what to expect when you read our editorial travel content. Holiday Manual is an information resource; it is not a booking platform, and separate providers apply their own contracts when you arrange transport, accommodation or other services elsewhere.
Acceptance
By accessing or continuing to use this website, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please refrain from using the site.
Nature of the service
Holiday Manual publishes editorial guides, country overviews and related articles intended to support general trip planning. The site does not act as a travel agency, tour operator or marketplace. Any reservation, ticket purchase or binding agreement you make is concluded with the relevant third party under that party’s own terms and policies.
Content and independent verification
Articles are prepared with editorial care and revised when practicable. Timetables, prices, visa requirements, opening hours and similar particulars change often and may differ by season or region. You are encouraged to confirm important details with official operators, embassies, venues and other authoritative sources before you travel or incur expense. Nothing on this site is offered as bespoke legal, financial, tax or medical advice.
Acceptable use
You agree to use the website lawfully and in good faith. You must not attempt to disrupt the service, probe non-public areas without authority, or use automated means to extract content in a manner that imposes an unreasonable load on our infrastructure. We may take reasonable steps, including restricting access, where necessary to protect the site or other visitors.
Copyright and permitted use
Text, design elements, images and other materials on this site are protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You may view pages and retain copies for personal, non-commercial reference while planning travel. Wider reproduction, redistribution or commercial use requires our prior written permission except where mandatory law allows otherwise.
External links
Pages may include links to independent websites for further reading. Those sites are not operated by us; we do not control their content, availability or privacy practices and are not responsible for them. Inclusion of a link does not imply endorsement of the third party or its offers.
Analytics and measurement
The website may use measurement technologies, including Google Analytics where configured, as described in our privacy policy. By using the site, you acknowledge that such processing may occur in line with that policy.
Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by the law that applies to you, Holiday Manual and those operating the site shall not be liable for indirect or consequential loss arising from use of or reliance on the website or its content. Where liability for direct loss in connection with use of the free public site cannot be excluded, it shall be limited to loss that was reasonably foreseeable at the time of access. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot legally be restricted.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms to reflect changes to the website, our practices or legal requirements. The current text will remain available on this page. Your continued use of the site after publication of an update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms, subject to any mandatory rights in your jurisdiction.
