Effective date: October 19, 2026
Acceptance
These Terms and Conditions govern your access to and use of NightJot. By using the site, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please stop using the site.
Informational Use
The site publishes general informational and educational content about beginner stargazing and night-sky observing. Guides are intended to help readers learn and plan, not to provide a location-specific forecast, safety assessment, or professional service.
No Professional Advice
Content on the site should not be treated as legal, medical, emergency, navigation, engineering, or other professional advice. Visibility, access conditions, weather, local rules, equipment behavior, and personal circumstances vary. You are responsible for evaluating current local conditions and seeking qualified guidance when needed.
Permitted Use
You may read, link to, quote brief excerpts from, and share public pages in a normal, non-abusive way. You may not misuse the site, interfere with security, attempt unauthorized access, scrape at abusive scale, copy substantial portions of content, impersonate others, or use the site for unlawful activity.
Intellectual Property
The site's text, layout, design elements, logos, and other materials are owned by NightJot Editorial Team or their respective owners unless stated otherwise. Third-party names, trademarks, links, images, or references remain the property of their owners.
User Submissions and Contact Messages
If you send suggestions, corrections, feedback, copyright notices, or other messages, you confirm that you have the right to send them. We may use your message to respond, investigate, improve content, or keep reasonable records. Do not send confidential or highly sensitive information through general contact channels.
Third-Party Links
The site may link to external websites, tools, products, publications, or services. External links are provided for convenience and context. We do not control third-party sites and are not responsible for their content, availability, policies, or practices.
Disclaimers
The site is provided "as is" and "as available." We try to publish useful and accurate information, but we do not guarantee that content is complete, current, error-free, uninterrupted, or suitable for your specific situation.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, NightJot Editorial Team will not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, punitive, or similar damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, the site or its content.
Indemnity
Where appropriate under applicable law, you agree to be responsible for claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, and expenses arising from your misuse of the site, violation of these terms, or infringement of another person's rights.
Changes and Termination
We may update these terms, change site features, remove content, or restrict access when reasonably necessary for editorial, operational, security, or legal reasons. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated terms.
Observing and Equipment Safety
Never look at the Sun through binoculars, a camera lens, a telescope, or another magnifying optical device unless the device has a correctly fitted front-mounted solar filter made for that exact use. NightJot does not assess whether a location, route, weather condition, or piece of equipment is safe for you. Follow manufacturer instructions and current guidance from authoritative local sources.
