These terms of use explain the rules for using our website.
By accessing this website, you agree to these terms of use. If you do not agree to these terms, you should not use our website.
All content and materials on Urbexology.com are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, or display any part of our website without our prior written consent.
You agree to use Urbexology.com only for lawful purposes. You may not use our website to transmit material that is offensive, defamatory, or infringes the rights of others.
You may not redistribute restricted location details to people who are not authorised to see them. A wish list's sharing controls do not give you permission to redistribute restricted or subscription-only information.
The wish list lets a signed-in user save references to spots on the Urbexology map. These references are linked to the user's account and show an interest in the selected locations.
Your wish list is private by default. You may choose to show the entire list on your public profile. If you do, you direct Urbexology to display all current and future eligible saved places, including their exact locations, using the current public map information for those spots. Restricted, deleted, or otherwise unavailable places are not shown. Only make the list public if you are comfortable associating all eligible saved places with your public profile.
A wish list item is resolved from the current map record each time it is shown. A spot may change, become restricted, or be removed. In that case, the wish list item may change or become unavailable. Saving a spot does not preserve an earlier copy, guarantee continued access, give permission to enter a location, or override any law or access restriction.
You must be at least 18 years old to use Urbexology.com.
If you choose to subscribe to Urbexology.com, you will be required to provide payment information to our third-party payment processor, Stripe. We do not store your payment information on our servers.
Our website uses OpenStreetMap data to display maps and locations. By using our website, you agree to be bound by OpenStreetMap's terms of use.
Urbexology.com is provided on an "as-is" basis. We make no warranties or representations about the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of the information provided on our website. We are not responsible for any loss or damage that may result from your use of our website.
Our Privacy Policy describes the account, contribution and technical records we store and how they can be linked to you. We disclose personal data to competent authorities only when required by applicable law and only to the extent necessary. Breaking a site rule does not by itself trigger disclosure.
Read about retention of different types of records and requesting access to your personal data. Expiry of a sign-in link or membership is not account deletion.
By using Urbexology.com, you agree to follow the law and good urban exploration practices.
We will publish an updated version with its revision date. For material changes affecting your rights or obligations, we will give at least 30 days’ advance notice through a prominent notice on the website or an email to your registered address, stating what changes and when they take effect. You can stop using the service and cancel future subscription renewals if you do not accept the changes.
A shorter notice period may be necessary to comply with a legal requirement or address an urgent security risk. In that case, we will explain the reason and notify you as soon as reasonably possible. Changes do not remove your statutory consumer rights, apply retroactively to completed purchases, or substitute for any fresh consent or agreement required by law.
To improve our terms of use, we would like to ask for the following information:
