Terms of Service

Welcome to Lineage. By accessing or using this website, you agree to the following terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

1. About this site

Lineage is an independent editorial project documenting intangible cultural heritage — festivals, crafts, music and daily rituals practised around the world. Content is provided for general informational and travel-planning purposes only. It is not a substitute for official tourism, safety, or cultural-institution guidance, and dates, prices and logistics should always be verified with local sources before you travel.

2. Intellectual property

Editorial text on this site is the property of Lineage unless otherwise noted, and may not be republished or redistributed without permission. Photography is licensed under terms that permit editorial use on this site; individual images remain the property of their respective photographers and platforms.

3. External links and third parties

This site may link to third-party websites, and may display advertising served by third-party networks. We do not control, and are not responsible for, the content, accuracy, or practices of those external sites or advertisers.

4. No warranty

Content is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind, express or implied. Lineage makes reasonable efforts to keep information accurate, but cultural events, schedules and locations can change without notice.

5. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Lineage is not liable for any damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, this site or any decisions made based on its content.

6. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms of Service from time to time. Continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
