About these terms

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of thebestofmarcoisland.com (the "Site"). By visiting or using the Site, you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the Site.

What we are (and aren't)

The Best of Marco Island is an independent travel guide. We share recommendations, guides, and links to local businesses and activities. We are not a booking platform, travel agency, or representative of any specific operator, restaurant, park, or attraction unless explicitly stated.

No guarantees about information

We work hard to keep information accurate, but conditions change quickly in a coastal town: hours, prices, menus, tour times, weather closures, beach access, and operators all change. We do not guarantee that any information on the Site is current, complete, or error-free. Always confirm important details (prices, schedules, reservations, safety conditions) directly with the business or authority before you go.

Use at your own risk

Outdoor activities on and around Marco Island — including swimming, boating, paddling, fishing, shelling, hiking, and wildlife viewing — involve inherent risks. You are responsible for your own safety and for following all local laws, advisories, and operator instructions. Always check current weather, tide, and surf conditions before heading out.

Third-party businesses and links

The Site links to and recommends third-party businesses and websites. We don't control those businesses or sites, and we're not responsible for their products, services, content, or practices. Any transactions you make are strictly between you and the third party.

Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use the Site for any unlawful purpose.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, The Best of Marco Island and its operators are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages — or for any loss arising out of your use of, or inability to use, the Site or any third-party services you reach through it.

Changes to the Site or these Terms

We may change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Site at any time. We may also update these Terms; when we do, we'll update the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of the Site after changes means you accept the updated Terms.
