These Terms of Use (“terms”) apply to your use of packedjournal.com (the “site”), run by Packed Journal (“we”, “us” or “our”). By using the site, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

Using the site

You may use Packed Journal for your own personal, non-commercial use. You agree to use the site lawfully and not in a way that harms the site, other visitors or anyone else.

Our content is for general information

Our guides, outfit ideas, packing lists and tips are for general information and inspiration. Travel details such as prices, opening hours, transport, entry rules and visa requirements change often. Always check important details with official sources before you book or travel.

Nothing on the site is legal, medical, financial or immigration advice. Our Disclaimer explains this in more detail.

Our content and how you can share it

The text, graphics, logo and design of Packed Journal belong to us or to the people and companies who license them to us. Some photos are licensed from photographers and stock libraries.

You are welcome to:

  • share links to our pages;
  • quote a short excerpt with credit and a link back to the original page;
  • save our images to Pinterest using the original image with a link back to our page.

Please do not copy whole articles, republish our photos or use our content for commercial purposes without our written permission.

Comments and messages

If you post a comment or send us a message, you are responsible for what you write. By posting a comment, you give us permission to display, edit for length or clarity, and remove it. Please do not post anything that is:

  • spam, advertising or links unrelated to the article;
  • hateful, harassing, threatening or abusive;
  • illegal, misleading or someone else’s private information;
  • copied from someone else without permission.

We may remove any comment or block any user at our discretion.

Things you may not do

  • try to hack, overload or disrupt the site or its servers;
  • upload viruses or other harmful code;
  • scrape or copy large parts of the site with automated tools;
  • pretend to be someone else or misrepresent your connection to anyone.

The site links to other websites, including stores, booking sites and travel companies. Some of these are affiliate links. We do not control these websites and are not responsible for their content, products, prices, bookings or policies. Any purchase or booking you make is between you and that company.

No guarantees

We work hard to keep Packed Journal accurate and useful, but the site and its content are provided “as is” and “as available”. We do not promise that the site will always be available, error-free or up to date.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, Packed Journal is not liable for any loss or damage that comes from using the site or relying on its content. This includes travel delays, cancellations, missed connections, lost belongings, injuries, refused entry or any indirect or consequential loss. Some places do not allow these limits, so they may not all apply to you.

Indemnity

If you break these terms or the law while using the site, you agree to cover any claims, losses or costs that we face as a result.

Changes to the site and these terms

We may change, pause or remove any part of the site at any time. We may also update these terms. When we do, we will change the “last updated” date at the top of this page. If you keep using the site after an update, you accept the new terms.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the country where Packed Journal is operated, without regard to its conflict of law rules. If any part of these terms cannot be enforced, the rest still applies.
