SAFETY, LIABILITY & TRANSPARENCY //

Travel Tricks Disclaimer

Travel always comes with some risk and change. This disclaimer explains what our guides can and cannot promise, how we handle affiliate links, and what you are responsible for when you travel.

✦ LEGAL NOTICE • PLEASE READ ✦
SUMMARY

The Short Version

  • You travel at your own risk: Hiking, road trips and bad weather can be dangerous. You are responsible for your own safety.
  • Details change: Prices, bus times and visa rules change often. Our guides show what we found when we wrote them.
  • Affiliate links are disclosed: Some links may earn us a small commission, at no extra cost to you.

1. What This Disclaimer Covers

This disclaimer applies to everything on TravelTricks.blog ("Travel Tricks," "we," "us" or "our"), written and edited by Alex Vance. That includes our homepage, our travel itineraries, the destinations directory and our budget travel tips.

By using the site, you agree to this disclaimer. If you do not agree, please stop using our guides. We may update this page, and using the site after an update means you accept the new version.

2. General Information Only

Our content is for general information and inspiration. It is based on personal travel experience. It is not medical, legal, visa or professional safety advice.

Each route, budget and timetable reflects what we saw when we wrote it. Transport companies, airlines and hotels change their plans without warning. Always check official websites and your government's travel advice before you book or set off.

3. Health and Safety

Your safety comes first. Hiking, long walks, high-altitude treks and remote road trips all carry real risks.

Risks to Know About

  • Sudden weather changes, cold and dehydration
  • Wildlife encounters
  • Sneaker waves on beaches such as Reynisfjara in Iceland
  • Altitude sickness in the mountains
  • Trails and mountain roads that close after heavy rain or snow

Your Responsibility

Check your own fitness, carry the right gear, and hire a certified guide for glaciers or technical mountain routes. Travel Tricks and Alex Vance are not liable for any injury, illness or accident that happens while you follow our guides.

4. Route and Timetable Accuracy

We work hard to keep guides accurate, but we cannot guarantee that every detail is still correct. If you rely on a schedule or price from our guides, you do so at your own risk.

Train times, ferries, bus routes and museum bookings change all the time. Strikes, repairs, holidays and visitor limits can also disrupt plans. Always confirm with the official operator before you travel.

5. Affiliate Links

Following the Federal Trade Commission's rules on endorsements, we want to be clear about how this site may earn money.

Some links in our guides may be affiliate links, for example to booking, tour or travel insurance websites. If you buy something through one of these links, we may earn a small commission.

This costs you nothing extra. You pay the same price as anyone else. Commissions never decide what we recommend. We only suggest places and passes we think are good value for budget travelers. You can read more about Alex Vance and how we keep our advice independent.

6. Limits of Our Liability

As far as the law allows, we are not responsible for any direct, indirect or follow-on losses that come from using this website.

We Are Not Responsible For

  • Money lost because of missed flights, canceled trains or lost hotel deposits
  • Lost or stolen luggage, electronics, passports or other belongings
  • Problems with airlines, hotels, rental companies or other third parties
  • Website downtime, technical errors or cyber attacks

These limits are part of what allows us to keep our travel guides free for everyone.

7. Links to Other Websites

Our guides link to other websites, such as government pages, transport operators and booking sites. We do not own or control these websites.

We are not responsible for their content, accuracy or security. Each website has its own terms and privacy policy, so please read them before you use their services.

8. Changes to This Page

We may update this page when laws, our website or the travel industry change. Any changes will be posted here.

If you keep using Travel Tricks after an update, you accept the new version. Please check this page from time to time.
