No commercial use of sites is permitted. You may use the sites for personal, non-commercial purposes only.

Our trademarks may not be used in any way or for any purpose without our permission.
Trademarks
Our brand (which includes our trademarks like the Guide2Globe name and logo is our most important asset because it’s how you recognize us and our products.
We need to make sure others don’t use our brand without permission to protect our legal rights and ensure you’re not misled or confused by others using our name. You need to be able to tell the difference between what is a Guide2Globe product or service or something we have recommended, and what isn’t.
Generally speaking, we don’t have a problem with businesses stating in their promotional material or on their websites that they have been recommended in Guide2GLobe Guides (but only if that’s true). But we are very strict about not letting businesses use the Guide2Globe name as part of their name so you can be sure that a Guide2Globe hostel or café is absolutely nothing to do with us. If you see something on your travels that looks a bit suspicious, feel free to let us know.
Use of another company’s name (or similar words) in a website’s domain name to try to misdirect people to your site is known as ‚cybersquatting‘ and it’s a kind of trademark infringement.
Where you are right now is our official website. If you come across a site that appears to be run by Guide2Globe but is not linked to our main site, chances are it’s not legit. So let us know!
We invest a lot of effort, time, money, and individual creativity in our products, and that hard work’s protected by copyright.
So permission is needed before reproducing our content. There are times when permission to use content is not needed (for instance, fair dealing for criticism or review, or if you’re just quoting a snippet). And we don’t own the kind of information that anyone can dig up (like opening hours or train timetables).
We may remove your content from the sites at our discretion.
We may terminate or suspend your registration (and any future accounts) if you have breached these terms multiple times or if the breach is serious.

You can access and update your personal information in the ‚profile‘ section at any time.
We may disclose information about you to our authors (some of whom work on contract with us). If your content breaches these terms or the law, we may pass your details and IP address on to a law enforcement agency. Don’t worry, we won’t sell your contact details to marketing companies for spamming
