Terms of Use.

About These Terms

These terms apply to your use of thetriproute.com ("The Trip Route"), which is operated by WATERFORD SLO LTD, a company registered in England and Wales (company number 14221091) with its registered office at Waterford Arms, Collywell Bay Road, Seaton Sluice, Whitley Bay, NE26 4QZ, United Kingdom ("we", "us", "our").

By using the website, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use it. Our Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy and Affiliate Disclosure also apply.

What The Trip Route Is

The Trip Route is a free travel-information website for people planning trips within Australia. We publish destination guides, trip ideas and booking checklists, and we link to Booking.com so you can search for accommodation.

We are not a travel agent, tour operator or booking platform. We don't sell travel products, take reservations or handle payments, and we are not a party to any booking you make.

General Information, Not Advice

Our guides are general information to help you plan. They aren't personalised advice and don't take into account your circumstances, health, fitness, budget or travel dates.

Drive times, transport details, opening hours, park access, seasons and event dates are approximate and change over time. Before you travel or book, check anything important with the official source, such as the transport operator, park authority, airline or accommodation provider.

Safety information on our pages, including advice about swimming, marine stingers, crocodiles, bushfires, heat and driving, is general guidance only. Always follow official warnings and signs, and instructions from lifesavers, rangers, police and emergency services. In an emergency in Australia, call 000.

Bookings Made on Other Websites

When you follow a link or use the search bar, you leave our website and go to Booking.com. Any search or booking you make there is between you, Booking.com and the accommodation provider, under their terms, prices and cancellation policies.

Booking.com and the property are responsible for your booking, including availability, payment, confirmation, changes, refunds and customer service. We can't see, change or cancel reservations.

We don't display live prices or availability. Rates, fees and terms shown on Booking.com can change at any time, so check the total price and the cancellation policy before you pay.

Affiliate Links

Some of our links are affiliate links. If you make a qualifying booking after following one, we may earn a commission, at no extra cost to you. Affiliate links are marked as sponsored and sit next to a disclosure. Commissions don't decide what we write or which places we cover. Our Affiliate Disclosure explains how this works.

Using Our Content

The text, design, layout, graphics and logo of The Trip Route belong to WATERFORD SLO LTD or are used with permission. Photographs are used under the Unsplash License and remain the work of their photographers.

You're welcome to read, print and share links to our pages for your own non-commercial use. You may not copy, republish, sell or adapt substantial parts of our content, or use it to train or feed automated systems, without our written permission.

Acceptable Use

You must not use the website:

• for any unlawful or fraudulent purpose;
• to introduce viruses or other malicious code;
• to try to gain unauthorised access to the website, its server or any connected system;
• to scrape or harvest content or data by automated means; or
• in any way that disrupts the website or other people's use of it.

Links to Other Websites

We link to Booking.com and to official sources such as transport operators, park authorities and tourism bodies. We don't control those websites and aren't responsible for their content, availability, prices or privacy practices.

Changes to the Website

We provide the website free of charge and update it regularly. We may change, suspend or remove any part of it without notice, and we don't promise that it will always be available or free from errors. Please use your own antivirus protection.

Our Liability

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else that cannot be excluded or limited by law.

Subject to that, and to your rights under consumer law described below, because the website is free general information:

• we are not liable for loss or damage arising from your reliance on information on the website;
• we are not liable for any booking, product or service provided by Booking.com, an accommodation provider or any other third party; and
• we are not liable for any indirect or consequential loss, or for loss of profit, business or opportunity.

Australian Consumer Law and Your Statutory Rights

If you're in Australia, you may have rights under the Australian Consumer Law (Schedule 2 to the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth)) that cannot be excluded, restricted or modified. Nothing in these terms is intended to do that. Where our liability for failing to comply with a consumer guarantee can lawfully be limited, it is limited to supplying the services again or paying the cost of having them supplied again.

If you're a consumer in the United Kingdom, nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The date at the top of this page shows the current version, and the version in force when you use the website applies.

Governing Law

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction over any dispute. If you live in Australia or elsewhere, you keep the protection of any mandatory consumer laws where you live, and you may also be able to bring proceedings in the courts there.
