Using Chicago Trip Guide
These Terms apply to your use of Chicago Trip Guide, operated by The Travel Spark Company LLC. By using the site, you agree to these Terms to the extent permitted by applicable law. If you do not agree, please stop using the site.
Chicago Trip Guide is an independent informational travel guide. It is not a governmental agency or official tourism authority, and it does not represent a venue, transport operator, or travel provider unless expressly stated.
Travel information
Our guides provide general planning information. Prices, schedules, operating conditions, entry requirements, access arrangements, and availability can change. Confirm details that matter to your trip with the relevant venue, operator, official authority, or booking provider before relying on them. Information on this site is not individualized legal, medical, financial, immigration, or safety advice.
You remain responsible for choosing suitable activities, checking travel documents, arranging insurance if appropriate, and considering the needs and limitations of your group. A suggested route or itinerary does not guarantee access, suitability, weather, or uninterrupted service.
Bookings and third-party services
Tour and hotel listings, prices, ratings, reviews, images, availability, and booking links may be supplied by third parties. Their terms govern purchases made through them, including payment, changes, cancellations, refunds, and fulfilment. Review those terms and the final booking details before paying. We do not take payment for a provider’s booking or guarantee the provider’s performance merely because its listing appears here.
If you need help with an existing reservation, contact the company named in your booking confirmation. Our support team cannot access or change a reservation held by another company.
Affiliate relationships
We may receive a commission if you book through certain links on the site. Provider prices and availability are determined by the provider. An affiliate relationship does not mean every listed product is suitable for every traveler, and a link is not a guarantee or warranty.
Search and trip tools
Search, comparison, and trip helper features are planning aids. Results and responses may contain errors or omit relevant information. Confirm important facts before acting. Using a tool does not reserve a product, create a travel advisory relationship, or authorize us to make a purchase on your behalf.
Your contributions
When you send a message, you confirm that you have the right to share its contents and that you will not submit unlawful, abusive, misleading, infringing, or malicious material. You allow us to use your message as needed to respond and manage your enquiry. Sending a suggestion does not transfer ownership of unrelated intellectual property. Our Privacy Policy explains how personal information is handled.
Site content and acceptable use
Our writing, design, and other original materials are protected by applicable intellectual property law. Third-party assets remain subject to their respective licenses and ownership. You may browse and use the site for personal planning, and exercise any rights granted by an applicable license or law. Do not misrepresent affiliation, remove required attribution, interfere with site operation, attempt unauthorized access, or use automated requests that disrupt the service.
Availability and limitations
The site is provided as available. We work to keep it useful and accurate, but cannot promise that it will always be uninterrupted, current, complete, secure, or free of errors. To the extent permitted by applicable law, implied warranties are excluded and we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss arising from use of the site or third-party services. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability or consumer rights that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
Changes and governing law
We may update content, features, and these Terms. The effective date above identifies the current version. These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction where The Travel Spark Company LLC is organized, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, subject to any mandatory protections that apply to you. If a provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue to apply to the extent lawful.
