Terms of use
Last updated:
By using this site you accept these terms. “We” and “the operator” mean the operator of this site; you can reach them through the contact page.
What this service is
Lighthouse Atlas is an independent directory and map of lighthouses in the United States and Canada with calculated sun times. It is informational. It has no connection with the lighthouses, their owners or operators, or any authority that runs them.
Sun times are not visiting hours
Sun times are calculated for a map position and a flat horizon. They are not opening hours, and nothing here says that a lighthouse or its grounds can be visited, entered or climbed. Some lights stand on breakwaters, islands or private land. Check locally, follow signs and the law, and use your own judgment.
No guarantee of accuracy or completeness
The details come from published sources and calculations, as described in the privacy policy. They can be out of date, incomplete or wrong, and some details are missing. The directory does not contain every lighthouse. The service is provided “as is” and “as available”.
Third-party data and images
Names and trademarks belong to their owners. Where the information comes from, and under which licenses, is explained in the privacy policy. Images on the site are illustrative photos and do not show the lighthouse named.
Acceptable use
- Do not break the law, attack or overload the site, or probe it for weaknesses.
- Do not scrape the site at a rate that harms it.
- Do not send abusive content or other people’s personal information.
Changes to the service
We may change or stop any part of the service, and restrict access if these terms are broken or to protect the site or other people.
Liability
To the extent the law allows, the operator is not liable for losses that come from relying on the information here, for example because a place cannot be reached or entered, a sun time differs from what you see, travel costs, or the site being unavailable. Liability that cannot be excluded by law is not affected.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. The date at the top shows when they were last updated. If you keep using the site after a change, the updated terms apply.
