Terms of Service

1. About these terms

vauberrychippery.com is published by Vauberry Digital Media Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales (company number 14829376) with its registered office at 27 Harborne Court, Unit 4, Manchester, M2 5LP, United Kingdom. These terms form a binding agreement between you and us, and they apply alongside our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.

2. What this site is — and is not

We publish editorial travel guidance about planning trips in Italy. We are not a travel agent, tour operator, package organiser or booking intermediary. We do not take reservations, hold client money, issue tickets or act as an agent for any transport company, hotel or attraction. Nothing on this site constitutes a contract for travel services, and nothing here is professional, legal, medical or financial advice.

3. Accuracy and your own verification

Travel information ages quickly. Timetables change seasonally, museums revise opening hours and ticketing systems, ferry routes are suspended in bad weather, and access rules for historic centres are updated by local authorities. We write carefully and correct errors when we learn of them, but we give no warranty that any description, route, journey time or operational detail is current or complete at the moment you read it. Before you rely on any detail — a sailing, an opening time, a ticket requirement, an entry rule — confirm it directly with the operator, museum or official tourism authority. You accept that all travel decisions are yours.

4. Permitted use and your obligations

You may read, print and share our pages for your own personal, non-commercial trip planning, and you may link to them. You agree that you will not:

• copy, republish, sell or systematically extract our content, including by automated scraping or for the training of machine-learning models, without written permission;
• use the site in any way that breaks the law, infringes anyone's rights, or is defamatory, abusive or misleading;
• attempt to gain unauthorised access to the site, its hosting environment or any connected system, or interfere with its operation;
• submit false information, another person's personal data without their consent, or material containing malicious code through our contact form;
• present yourself as connected with, endorsed by or speaking for Vauberry Digital Media Ltd.

5. Intellectual property

All text, layout, code, diagrams, illustrations, the Vauberrychippery name and the compass mark are owned by or licensed to Vauberry Digital Media Ltd and protected by copyright and trade mark law. Photographic placeholders served from third-party image services remain the property of their respective rights holders. Quoting a short extract with clear attribution and a link back is permitted; wholesale reproduction is not. If you believe material on this site infringes your rights, contact [email protected] with details and we will investigate promptly.

6. Messages you send us

If you send us an itinerary, a correction or a suggestion, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to use the substance of it to improve our guides, in anonymised form and without identifying you. You confirm you have the right to share what you send. We are not obliged to reply to or act on any submission, and we do not treat unsolicited commercial proposals as confidential.

7. Third-party links

We link to official operators, museums and public authorities because we think they are the most reliable sources. Those sites are outside our control; we do not endorse and are not responsible for their content, availability, pricing or privacy practices. Your dealings with any third party are strictly between you and them.

8. Limitation of liability

The site is provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent permitted by law, we exclude all implied warranties and we are not liable for any indirect or consequential loss, or for any loss of profit, revenue, data, goodwill, or wasted expenditure. In particular, we are not liable for missed transport, unavailable accommodation, closed attractions, denied entry, fines, additional travel costs or any other loss arising from reliance on information published here. Where liability cannot lawfully be excluded, our total aggregate liability to you for all claims arising from your use of the site is limited to GBP 100. Nothing in these terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for any other liability that cannot legally be limited.

9. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify us against reasonable costs, claims and losses arising from your breach of these terms or your unlawful use of the site.

10. Suspension and termination

We may modify, suspend or withdraw the site, or any part of it, at any time and without notice. We may also block access from a particular network or address where we reasonably believe these terms are being breached. You may end this agreement at any time by ceasing to use the site. Sections covering intellectual property, liability, indemnity and governing law survive termination.

11. Governing law and disputes

These terms and any dispute arising from them are governed by the laws of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction, except that if you are a consumer resident elsewhere in the United Kingdom or the European Union, you retain any right to bring proceedings in the courts of your place of residence, and mandatory consumer protections of your home jurisdiction are unaffected. Before starting formal proceedings, please contact us so we can attempt to resolve the matter directly; we will engage in good-faith discussion for at least 30 days.

12. General

If any provision is found unenforceable, the remainder continues in force. Our failure to enforce a term is not a waiver of it. These terms are the entire agreement between us regarding the site. We may update them; the effective date above reflects the current version, and continued use after a change constitutes acceptance. Questions about these terms go to [email protected].
