5. Content and Listings

Our content

The Service contains listings, descriptions, images, and other content that we compile from publicly available sources, business websites, and AI-assisted summarisation. While we strive for accuracy, we do not guarantee that all information is complete, current, or error-free. Listings are provided for informational purposes only.

We recommend that you verify key details (opening times, prices, availability, and accessibility) directly with the venue before visiting, particularly when travelling with young children.

User-generated content

If you submit content to the Service (such as reviews, ratings, or suggestions), you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, worldwide licence to use, display, modify, and distribute that content in connection with the Service. You retain ownership of your content but are responsible for ensuring it does not violate any third-party rights.

6. Business Listings

If you are a business owner and your business appears on our platform, the listing information is compiled from publicly available sources. If you wish to claim, update, or remove your listing, please contact us at [email protected]. We will respond to legitimate requests promptly.

Featured or promoted listings are clearly identified. Paid placements do not affect the accuracy of the information displayed, though they may affect listing visibility or positioning.
