Terms of Service

These Terms of Service apply to your use of Tourism Gatlinburg at tourismgatlinburg.com, operated by The Travel Spark Company LLC. By using the website, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please stop using it.

The role of this website

Tourism Gatlinburg is an independent informational travel guide. It is not a governmental agency or official tourism authority. The website provides general destination information and links or tools that may help you consider travel experiences.

Information is provided for general planning purposes. It does not replace current official notices, instructions from a park or land manager, professional advice or the terms of a particular booking. Conditions, access, services, prices, availability and business details can change. Check the relevant official source or operator before making decisions or traveling.

Bookings and third-party services

Bookings and purchases made through external travel services are transactions with the relevant provider, operator or accommodation business. Those parties set their own prices, descriptions, eligibility requirements, cancellation rules and other terms. We are not responsible for operating the experience, delivering the accommodation or managing the reservation unless expressly stated for a specific service.

Review the complete listing, meeting location, accessibility details, restrictions and cancellation terms before booking. Direct reservation changes, refunds and service issues to the company identified in your confirmation. A link or listing does not guarantee that a service is available or suitable for every visitor.

Affiliate relationships

Some outgoing links are affiliate links. We may receive a commission if you make a qualifying purchase through one of these links. The booking service controls the transaction and its terms. Affiliate features do not require you to book in order to read the guides.

Responsible use

You may use the website for lawful personal research and travel planning. Do not attempt to gain unauthorized access, interfere with the website, bypass security controls, misuse forms, send spam, introduce malicious material or use automated methods in a way that harms the service or other users.

You are responsible for the accuracy and appropriateness of information you submit. Do not send confidential payment details, identification documents or sensitive information through ordinary contact messages. We may restrict access or disregard communications that are abusive, unlawful or unrelated to the service.

Content and intellectual property

Website text, original identity materials and design are protected by applicable intellectual-property rights. Photographs and other third-party materials remain subject to the rights and licenses identified with them. Credits and license links do not transfer ownership or imply an endorsement by the creator.

You may share links to this website. Reuse of material beyond what applicable law or a stated license allows requires the appropriate permission. When a photograph carries an open license, follow that license, including attribution and any requirements that apply to modifications. Do not remove credits or present the site as an official tourism or government service.

Information, availability and responsibility

We aim to make the guide useful, but do not promise that all information is complete, error-free or continuously available. The website and its content are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis to the extent permitted by applicable law. Access may be interrupted for maintenance, technical issues or other reasons.

You remain responsible for your travel choices, personal safety, compliance with local rules and decisions about the suitability of activities. No guide can account for every visitor, weather condition or circumstance. Outdoor activities can involve risks, and an image or description should not be treated as a guarantee of conditions.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, The Travel Spark Company LLC is not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential loss arising from use of this website or an external service. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits a responsibility or right that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

Privacy, changes and governing law

Our Privacy Policy explains how information is handled in connection with this website. External sites and services have separate privacy practices and terms.

We may update these terms to reflect changes to the website or its operation. The terms available on this page are the current version. If part of these terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue to apply to the extent permitted by law.

These terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which The Travel Spark Company LLC is organized, subject to any mandatory laws that apply. Questions about the website or these terms can be sent through the Contact page.
