Welcome to http://kolumnista.com/, where we spin travel stories with a columnist’s flair—think hidden alleys, local chats, and musings on life’s flavors. These Terms of Use are the ground rules for using our site, brought to you by Kolumnista LLC. They’re here to keep the vibe fair, fun, and respectful for all. We’ve tried to make this clear, but if you’re puzzled, hit us up—we’re happy to talk it out! By using our site, you’re signing on to these terms, so take a sec to read through before diving into our tales.
Role of Kolumnista LLC
Kolumnista LLC is all about serving up travel content that’s more story than checklist—think essays on Tbilisi’s chaos, quirky routes through Oaxaca, or tips for sipping coffee like a local. We also feature a ticket search widget powered by Go Travel Un Limited, a Hong Kong company (Number 1658681). Heads-up: we don’t handle bookings, payments, or travel services. That’s all on Go Travel Un Limited. Any transactions you make via the widget fall under their terms, policies, and support. Before you book, check out Go Travel Un Limited’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. We’re just the storytellers, not the travel agency!
Content Ownership and Intellectual Property
Everything on our site—articles, photos, videos, that heartfelt rant about Hanoi’s egg coffee—is owned by Kolumnista LLC or our licensed partners. This covers all text, images, videos, and creative bits we’ve crafted. You can’t copy, share, or use our content without our written okay first. Wanna quote a line or share a story snippet? Love that—just shoot us an email at [email protected] to ask. We’re usually down for it if you give us credit (and maybe a nod to our blog!). Stealing or misusing our content is a no-go and could land you in legal hot water.
Third-Party Links and Widgets
Our site might link to third-party sites or tools, like the Go Travel Un Limited ticket search widget. These are for your convenience, but we don’t control or vouch for those services. Their content, privacy practices, or terms are their own, and we’re not responsible for what happens when you use them. For instance, booking through the widget? That’s all Go Travel Un Limited, and their rules apply. Always skim the terms and privacy policies of third-party sites before diving in. Click wisely, and maybe double-check you’re not booking a ticket to Narnia by mistake!
User Conduct
When you’re chilling on our site, keep it cool. Here’s the deal:
Don’t do anything shady, illegal, or disruptive (like hacking our site or spamming our contact form).
Don’t try to scrape, copy, or mess with our site’s code or features.
Don’t post or send anything offensive, false, or inappropriate in messages (or comments, if we add ‘em later).
Respect our content and intellectual property as mentioned above.
Treat our site like a cozy travel journal—keep it kind and respectful.
User-Generated Content
Right now, we don’t have comments or user-submitted content, but if we open that up (like a spot to share your own travel yarns), anything you post needs to be your original work and not step on anyone’s toes. We’d have the right to moderate, edit, or yank content that doesn’t jive with our site’s spirit. Keep an eye out for updates on this!
Disclaimer of Warranties
We put our heart into making Kolumnista vibrant and true, but we’re human (sometimes we get lost in souks too). Our content is provided “as is,” and we can’t promise it’s always spot-on, complete, or current. Travel tips and stories are based on our adventures, but the world shifts—cafés close, prices change. Use our stuff as a spark, but verify details for your own trips. Kolumnista LLC isn’t liable for any errors, gaps, or issues from using the site.
Limitation of Liability
To the max extent allowed by law, Kolumnista LLC, its affiliates, or team won’t be on the hook for any damages—direct, indirect, incidental, or otherwise—tied to your use of the site. This includes things like:
Mistakes in our content (like if that dive bar we raved about is now a laundromat).
Site outages or tech hiccups.
Issues with third-party services, like the ticket search widget.
Losses from choices you make based on our content (e.g., a trip that goes sideways).
You’re using our site at your own risk, and we’re not responsible for stuff beyond our control.
Indemnification
If you break these terms or misuse our site and it stirs up trouble, you agree to have our back. That means you’ll indemnify and hold Kolumnista LLC harmless from any claims, losses, or damages (including legal fees) caused by your actions. Let’s skip the drama and just enjoy the stories, cool?
Governing Law
These Terms of Use are governed by the laws of the State of Pennsylvania, USA, ignoring any conflict-of-law rules. Any disputes about these terms or your use of the site will be sorted out in state or federal courts in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. By using our site, you’re okay with this jurisdiction.
Termination of Access
We can block or limit your access to our site if you break these terms or do anything that messes with our site’s vibe or functionality. Let’s keep it friendly so we don’t have to pull the plug!
Changes to These Terms
We might tweak these terms as our site evolves or laws shift. If we do, we’ll post the updated version here and flag the new date. Big changes might come with an email or site notice, but it’s on you to check back occasionally. Keep using the site after changes, and you’re agreeing to the new terms.
