Terms of use

Last updated: 10 November 2026.

By using chasingeclipses.com you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

Information, not a guarantee

We calculate eclipse times, durations and paths carefully and check facts against named sources, but the information on this site is provided “as is” and for general guidance only. Calculated times can differ by a few seconds from other sources, travel rules, prices and opening hours change, and weather cannot be predicted months ahead. We do not promise that the site is complete, current or free of errors, or that it will always be available.

No professional advice

Nothing on the site is medical, legal, financial or professional travel advice. Before you travel, confirm entry, visa, border, health and safety information with official sources and with the companies you book with.

Travel and safety

Conditions in some countries along the eclipse path can change quickly. Travel to some areas may not be advised. Check the advice of the relevant authorities in your country before planning a trip, and make sure your travel insurance covers your destination and activities. You alone decide whether and how to travel.

Eye safety

Our eye safety guide summarises advice from recognised scientific and medical bodies. It does not replace the instructions that come with your eclipse glasses or viewer, or the advice of an eye care professional. You are responsible for using certified eye protection correctly and for supervising children.

Tours, hotels and other companies

Every tour, hotel, event and product mentioned on the site is offered by an independent company. Any booking or purchase is a contract between you and that company, under its own terms. We do not run tours, sell travel or handle payments, and we are not responsible for the services of other companies.

Advertising and affiliate links

Some pages may show advertising or contain affiliate links. If you book or buy through an affiliate link, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Commercial relationships do not decide which places, dates or facts we publish, and advertising is kept separate from our guides.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Chasing Eclipses is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of the site or your reliance on its content, including missed eclipses, cancelled or changed travel, bookings, injury or indirect loss. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, and nothing affects your statutory rights as a consumer.

Using our content

The text, maps, illustrations, calculations and design of this site belong to Chasing Eclipses unless stated otherwise. Short quotes and links are welcome. You may use individual figures or maps in news reports and educational material if you credit Chasing Eclipses and link to the page they came from. Copying whole pages, republishing our content in bulk, or using it to train or feed automated systems is not allowed without written permission.

Embedding the countdown card

You may embed our eclipse countdown card on your own website free of charge, using the code we provide and without changing it. The card must keep its link to Chasing Eclipses. We may change the card or stop providing it at any time.

Acceptable use

Please do not try to disrupt the site, get around its security, or copy it with automated tools in a way that puts a heavy load on it. We may block access that harms the site or other visitors.

Photos and third-party material

Material from third parties, including photos, remains the property of their authors and are used under licence. Our guides name the organisations whose reporting and research they rely on. We are not responsible for the content, availability or practices of other websites.

Corrections

If you find a mistake, please tell us at hello@chasingeclipses.com. We check every report and correct the page when needed.

Changes

We may update these terms from time to time. The date at the top shows when they last changed, and continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the new terms.

General

If any part of these terms is found to be unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. These terms, together with our privacy policy, are the whole agreement between you and us about the use of the site.
