Terms of Service
Content and Copyright
All content you upload, especially images and videos, must be free and open licensed (like Creative Commons). By uploading content to this site, you are assigning that content a Creative Commons license and entering it into the public domain.
If you took the images you are uploading, you are putting them in the public domain by uploading them here.
If you did not take the images, you must make sure they are Creative Commons licensed. Please do not upload anything you do not own or cannot speak for the rights to.
Data Sharing
All information you contribute will be used to improve our open source database, which anyone can download and use for any legal purpose. It is all free and open source.
Do not input any data you do not want to share with the world.
Respect Other Services
Do not violate anyone else's terms of service to add data to our open source dataset. We appreciate your effort, but that is both unethical and often illegal. Please, please don't do it.
No Scraping Needed
Please do not attempt to scrape this website. We will be uploading our entire dataset to Kaggle every week shortly, and will also offer an API for legitimate programmatic access. Scraping the human-facing site increases our costs and makes it harder to keep this volunteer project running.
No Warranty & Limitation of Liability
This site and its data are provided "as is," without any warranty. We do not guarantee that the information is accurate, complete, or up to date.
We are not responsible for any damages or losses that may result from using this site or its data, to the fullest extent allowed by law.
By using this site, you accept that you use it at your own risk.
Open Source Spirit
Everything here is open source and meant to be shared and improved by the community. Please respect the spirit of openness and collaboration.
If you have any questions about these terms, please contact us. Thank you for being part of OpenSailor!
