What these terms cover

These terms apply to familytripwise.com, its downloads and the posts Family Tripwise publishes on social platforms ("Family Tripwise", "we"). Family Tripwise is published by Apoorva Garg (see About). By using the site you agree to these terms; if you do not agree, please do not use it.

Planning information, not bookings

Family Tripwise publishes family travel planning information. We do not sell travel, take bookings or payments, or act as an agent for any hotel, venue, cruise line or other operator. Family Tripwise does not currently earn commissions from links on this site.

Bookings you make are agreements between you and the provider, under that provider's terms.

Accuracy and dates

Our guides, deal checks and event listings are AI-assisted research, mainly from dated official sources, with review signals, estimates and observation dates labelled. They are not based on firsthand visits (see how guides are built). Prices, fees, availability, age rules, hours, offers and event details change, and an observation can be out of date by the time you read it.

Always confirm details that matter on the official source before booking, paying or promising a plan to your family. Estimates and planning judgments are labelled as such and are not guarantees.

Not professional advice

Nothing on the site is medical, safety, legal or financial advice. Use official advisories and your own judgment for health, safety, accessibility and mobility needs.

Other websites and content

We link to official and third-party websites and show some photos under their creators' licences, credited on the page. We are not responsible for other websites' content, availability or practices.

Using our content

You are welcome to read, print and share links to our pages and downloads for personal, non-commercial trip planning. Please do not republish substantial parts of the site or present it as your own without our written permission. Photos remain subject to the licences shown with them.

Warranties and liability

The site is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, to the extent the law allows. To the extent the law allows, Family Tripwise is not liable for losses arising from your use of the site or reliance on its information, including booking decisions, changed prices or cancelled events. Some places do not allow these limits, so they may not all apply to you.

Changes and contact
