Terms of Service for Gitbirds
Last updated: 06/07/2025
Please read these Terms of Service ("Terms") carefully before using the Gitbirds website (the “Service”) operated by Gitbirds (“we,” “us,” or “our”).
By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.
1. Overview
Gitbirds is an online platform that connects people interested in birding tours (“Users”) with tour operators and guides (“Guide Companies”). We act as an informational hub and, in some cases, a booking platform.
2. How the Service Works
Currently, we list third-party tour offerings and direct Users to those companies’ external websites to learn more or book a trip. In the future, Gitbirds may allow Users to book directly with Guide Companies through our platform.
3. Guide Company Responsibilities
If you are a Guide Company, you are responsible for:
- Providing accurate and up-to-date information in your listings
- Ensuring you have rights to any photos, text, or other content you upload
- Honoring any bookings or services offered through your listings
We reserve the right to edit or remove any content that violates our policies.
4. User Responsibilities
If you are a User, you agree to:
- Use the Service for its intended purpose
- Not impersonate others or provide false information
- Respect the terms and privacy policies of third-party sites you visit through Gitbirds
5. Affiliate Products and Storefront
Gitbirds may display affiliate links (such as Amazon) where Users can purchase birding gear or related products. When Users purchase items via those links, Gitbirds may earn a small commission. All transactions are handled by the affiliate (e.g., Amazon), and their return and refund policies apply. Gitbirds does not manage or fulfill these orders.
6. Intellectual Property
All content provided by Gitbirds, including logos, design, and original content, is our property unless otherwise noted. Guide Companies retain ownership of content they provide but grant us a license to display it on the Service and use it for promotional purposes (e.g., on social media or blog posts). You can opt out by contacting nate@gitbirds.com.
7. Termination
We may suspend or terminate access to the Service at any time, without prior notice or liability, for any reason, including if you breach these Terms.
8. Disclaimers
Gitbirds provides listings for informational purposes only. We do not guarantee the quality, safety, or legality of any services offered by Guide Companies. You use the Service at your own risk.
9. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Gitbirds and its team are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising out of or in connection with your use of the Service.
10. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Arizona, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles.
11. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we’ll post them here and update the date above. By continuing to use the Service, you agree to the revised Terms.
