Welcome to Urbexology.com

These terms of use explain the rules for using our website.

Acceptance of Terms

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.

Intellectual Property

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.

Use of Website

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.

Wish Lists

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.

Adult Only

Urbexology.com is intended for adults only. If you are under the age of 18, do not use our website.

Subscription and Payment

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.
