AGREEMENT TO TERMS
Welcome, traveler. As you step into the digital pathways of Reykjavik Wayfinder, think of this space as a small warm light among the stones — a place where we share stories, guidance, and tools to help you explore Iceland with heart and respect. These Terms of Use are our shared agreement, laid out so that all who visit here walk safely, kindly, and with clarity.
This site — http://www.reykjavik-wayfinder.com — is run by me, Stefán Örn Stefánsson, from my little corner at Nýlendugata 45, Reykjavik 101, Iceland. My VAT number is 59857. Think of these terms as the friendly directions a local might share when you wander into a village — honest guidance ensuring everyone can enjoy the path.
From time to time, like shifting northern skies, these Terms may change. If they do, the “Last Updated” date will mark the moment. Continuing to use the Site means you accept those updates. Much like Iceland’s weather, it’s good to check in now and then.
If your footsteps bring you here from another part of the world, you are warmly welcomed. Just be sure that your own local laws allow you to use this site — even the hidden folk follow the laws of their own lands.
A small but important detail: this site isn’t designed for industries that require high‑security protections (such as healthcare or deep financial systems). This place is built for sharing inspiration and information — not storing sacred records.
To walk these digital trails, you need to be 18 years or older.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS
Everything woven into this site — text, images, stories, layout, design — is built with care and protected by law. Some of it is mine, some is licensed, and some feels like it has the quiet blessing of the landvættir themselves. You’re welcome to enjoy and keep small personal copies, like picking a pebble from the shoreline, but you may not take it for commercial use without written permission.
USER REPRESENTATIONS
By stepping into this space, you’re telling me that:
– You can legally agree to these Terms
– You’re not a minor where you live
– You won’t use bots or automated spirits to wander these pages
– You won’t use the Site for anything unlawful or harmful
– You’ll follow the laws of your own land
If anything you offer here is misleading or harmful, I may need to gently but firmly close the gate to keep this place safe for all.
PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES
Just as Icelanders respect old paths so as not to disturb the homes of huldufólk, I ask that you treat this Site with care. Please don’t:
– Tamper with the Site’s inner workings
– Try to slip past protections or dig where it’s not allowed
– Spread harmful scripts or digital mischief
– Use the Site to deceive, harass, or injure
– Gather content or data in ways that exploit the community
A good rule: Walk here the way you’d walk on moss — gently, respectfully, leaving no harm behind.
USER‑GENERATED CONTRIBUTIONS
If, in the future, this Site invites you to share your own words or images, please ensure they’re truly yours, kind in spirit, and safe under law. Think of it like adding your name to a guestbook at a small countryside church — something honest, respectful, and free of mischief.
CONTRIBUTION LICENSE
If you share ideas or feedback, thank you — such gifts help me shape this space for future travelers. You keep ownership of what you create but allow me to use your insights to improve the Site.
GUIDELINES FOR REVIEWS
Reviews are like stories told around a fire — they spread warmth when they’re true and thoughtful. If you choose to leave a review:
– Share your real experience
– Speak kindly and respectfully
– Avoid harmful or discriminatory language
– Don’t mislead or attempt to injure others
SUBMISSIONS
Your messages, suggestions, and stories may be used internally to improve the Site, but they remain appreciated gifts. Like cairns by the roadside, each one helps mark the way for those who follow.
THIRD‑PARTY WEBSITES AND CONTENT
Occasionally, I may point toward other sites — like showing a visitor a nearby trail. While I choose these with care, the lands beyond this Site are not mine to govern. Explore them thoughtfully.
SITE MANAGEMENT
Behind these pages, I do my best to keep the experience smooth — tending to broken links, updating features, and watching for digital trouble. Sometimes this means stepping in to restrict access to protect the community, much like a shepherd closing a gate in shifting weather.
PRIVACY POLICY
Your privacy matters. By using the Site, you agree to the Privacy Policy. Our website is hosted in the United Kingdom, meaning your information may be processed there. I do my utmost to treat your data with care, as we Icelanders treat stories — thoughtfully and with respect.
TERM AND TERMINATION
I hope your time here is long and meaningful, but if the Terms are broken or the space is misused, access may be limited or ended to keep things safe.
MODIFICATIONS AND INTERRUPTIONS
Sometimes the Site may step away briefly — for updates, repairs, or unexpected issues, much like a mountain pass closed for weather. If that happens, thank you in advance for your patience.
GOVERNING LAW
These Terms are rooted in Icelandic law. If you live within the EU, your home country’s consumer protections still accompany you, like guardians on your journey.
DISPUTE RESOLUTION
If any disagreement arises, I hope we can settle it kindly, the way neighbors might talk things through over coffee. If we can’t find a friendly path, formal arbitration in Reykjavik is the next step.
CORRECTIONS
If you spot a mistake — a misplaced word, an outdated detail — please know I’ll correct it as soon as I can.
DISCLAIMER
This Site is offered “as is,” crafted with good intentions but without guarantees. Use it thoughtfully, as you would any new landscape.
LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY
There are certain harms and losses I cannot take responsibility for — standard protections that help keep this project healthy and safe.
INDEMNIFICATION
If an action you take causes harm or legal issues for others, you may need to take responsibility for that. Hopefully, this clause remains a quiet precaution never called upon.
USER DATA
While I protect your data with care, technology can behave unpredictably. Keeping your own copies of important information is always wise.
ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS, TRANSACTIONS, AND SIGNATURES
By being here, you agree that electronic communications — notices, messages, confirmations — are just as valid as written ones.
CALIFORNIA USERS AND RESIDENTS
If you’re visiting from California, your specific rights remain exactly as described in the legal sections of the original document.
MISCELLANEOUS
These Terms are our complete agreement. If one part becomes invalid, the rest stands firm, like basalt pillars enduring wind and tide.
