Terms of Use

Information, not professional advice

Everything on this site is informational. Prices, rents, rules, deadlines, eligibility criteria, and other figures are researched and dated in good faith, but they change and can contain errors. Nothing here is legal, financial, immigration, tax, medical, or real-estate advice.

Always verify anything you plan to act on against the official primary source — the relevant government agency, Crown corporation, landlord, or professional. Where we cite a source, follow the link and confirm. We describe how we gather and check our numbers on the methodology page.

No warranty

The site is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including accuracy, completeness, or fitness for a particular purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of, or reliance on, the site or its content.

Reader submissions

If you submit a price report, a restaurant tip, or other content, you confirm it is accurate to the best of your knowledge and that you have the right to share it. You grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to publish, edit, and adapt it on the site. We may decline or remove submissions at our discretion. Don't submit spam, promotional content for a business you're paid to promote, or anything unlawful.

Advertising and affiliate links

The site is supported by display advertising (Google AdSense) and, on some commercial pages such as accommodation, affiliate links (for example via Stay22). Affiliate links may earn us a commission at no extra cost to you. Editorial content — the newcomer guides, price ranges, and recommendations — is not paid placement and is not influenced by advertisers.

Intellectual property

The editorial content, structure, and original writing on this site belong to VanCityGuide. You may quote or reference it with attribution and a link back to the original page. Don't republish substantial portions without permission. Third-party images are used under their respective licences and credited where required.

External links

We link to government sources, businesses, and our own sister projects. We don't control those sites and aren't responsible for their content or practices. Follow them at your own discretion.

Changes and governing law

We may update these terms; the date at the top reflects the latest version. These terms are governed by the laws of British Columbia and the applicable laws of Canada.
