Editorial tools and decision-support features produce bounded, informational results. They do not create professional, medical, legal, structural, culinary-safety, or access certifications. See the AI disclosure and site editorial standards for process limits.

4. Acceptable use

You may not misuse the site to attack systems, scrape in a way that degrades service, submit unlawful content, impersonate others, or attempt to reverse-engineer restricted services. We may suspend access that threatens security or other readers.

Links to venues, products, maps, retailers, agencies, or tools are provided for convenience. Those services have their own terms and privacy practices.
