Terms of Service

1. Introduction

Welcome to PhotoTours. These Terms of Service govern your use of our website located at phototours.tours and any related services provided by PhotoTours.

By accessing our website, you agree to abide by these Terms of Service and to comply with all applicable laws and regulations. If you do not agree with these Terms of Service, you are prohibited from using or accessing this website or using any other services we provide.

2. Service Description

PhotoTours is a platform that connects photography enthusiasts with photography tours and experiences around the world. We do not directly provide these tours but act as an intermediary between you and the tour providers.

The information provided on our website is for general informational purposes only. We make no representation or warranty of any kind regarding the accuracy, adequacy, validity, reliability, availability, or completeness of any information on our website.

3. User Information

When interacting with our website, such as submitting contact forms or saving favorites locally, you agree to provide accurate and current information.

If user accounts become available, you will be responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. At that time, additional account-specific terms will apply.

For now, certain features like favorites are stored locally on your device and are not synchronized across devices or browsers.

4. Tour Promotion and Third-Party Services

PhotoTours currently only promotes tours on behalf of tour providers. We do not directly handle bookings through our platform. When you click on a tour, you will be directed to the tour provider's website to complete your booking. We are not responsible for the delivery of tour services or the booking process.

All transactions occur on the tour provider's website and are subject to their terms and conditions. Your payment information is not stored on our servers and is subject to the privacy policies and terms of service of the respective tour providers and their payment processors.

5. Cancellations and Refunds

Since PhotoTours does not directly handle bookings or payments, all cancellations and refunds are managed by the respective tour providers. Cancellation and refund policies vary by tour provider, and we recommend reviewing their specific terms before making a booking.

PhotoTours is not responsible for processing refunds or mediating disputes between users and tour providers. Any issues related to bookings, cancellations, or refunds should be directed to the tour provider with whom you made your booking.

8. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of those rights. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court, the remaining provisions of these Terms will remain in effect.

9. Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. We will notify users of any changes by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.

It is your responsibility to review these Terms periodically for changes. Your continued use of our website following the posting of revised Terms means that you accept and agree to the changes.
