Plain-language terms for using visitdcnow.com. If you use this site, you agree to these terms. (Written for clarity, not as legal advice.)
What this site is
VisitDCNow publishes free Washington, DC travel guides, itineraries, and blog posts, along with videos on our YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok channels. Everything here is free to read and watch.
Content accuracy
We work hard to keep our guides accurate, but travel information changes: hours, prices, closures, and transit schedules can shift without notice. Double-check the details that matter to your trip — especially museum hours, tour availability, and Metro schedules — before you go. We are not responsible for decisions made on the basis of outdated information.
Affiliate links and advertising
Some links on this site — including hotel and tour links — are affiliate links served through our partner Travelpayouts. If you book through one, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. We also display ads through Google AdSense. Links and ads do not mean we endorse the advertiser; any transaction you make with a third party is between you and them. See our Privacy Policy for how cookies and advertising work on this site.
Intellectual property
The text, photos, graphics, and videos on this site belong to VisitDCNow or our licensed partners, unless credited otherwise. You are welcome to share links to our pages. Do not republish our articles, photos, or videos in full — on another site, in print, or presented as your own — without written permission. To ask, email [email protected].
Acceptable use
Use this site lawfully. Do not scrape or copy the site's content in bulk, attempt to disrupt the site or its hosting, or misuse the newsletter signup (for example, by submitting someone else's email address).
External links
We link to third-party sites — museums, hotels, tour operators, transit agencies — for your convenience. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, policies, or practices.
No warranties and limitation of liability
This site and its content are provided “as is,” without warranties of any kind. To the maximum extent allowed by law, VisitDCNow is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of the site.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms as the site grows. When we do, we will update this page and the date above; continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
