Terms
The terms
Duff Core Blend publishes this site under the plain terms below.
Using the site means you agree to them.
Content and ownership
The texts and photographs on this site belong to Duff Core Blend unless stated otherwise.
Personal, non-commercial viewing is what the site is for; republishing our material commercially requires our written consent.
What may change
Information here is offered in good faith and updated when things change.
Final prices, dates and availability are confirmed individually — the site is an introduction, not a contract.
Individual arrangements
The scope, timing and price of any actual work are agreed individually, in writing, before it begins.
Nothing on this site by itself constitutes an offer that binds either side.
Limits of responsibility
We are responsible for this site's content to the extent the law requires, and no further.
We are not liable for external sites we link to, or for decisions taken solely on the basis of general information published here.
Changes to these terms
These terms can be revised from time to time.
The current version always lives at this address, and continued use of the site means acceptance of it.
Governing law
The law of the place where Duff Core Blend is established applies to these terms and to any dispute arising from the use of this site.
Editorial independence
Route guides, cabin comparisons and port notes on this site reflect our own research and, where noted, reader-submitted corrections. We do not accept payment from cruise lines or ports in exchange for favourable coverage, and any sponsored content would be clearly labelled as such — there is none on the site at the time of writing.
Accuracy of route and pricing information
Itineraries, port calls and seasonal pricing notes change on the cruise lines' side faster than any independent guide can track in real time. Treat the figures and dates on this site as a starting point for your own research with the operator directly, not as a locked-in quote.
Reader corrections and submissions
If you submit a correction, a voyage log or a port detail through the contact form, you are confirming it reflects your own experience or research and that we may edit it for length and clarity before it appears in an article, with credit if you asked for it.
Use of the site
You are welcome to read, bookmark and share links to articles on this site freely. Scraping the site wholesale to republish elsewhere, or presenting our route guides as your own research, is the one use we do not allow.
Availability of the site
We aim to keep the site available and the guides current, but we make no promise that it will be online every minute of every day, and we are not liable for losses caused by a temporary outage or a guide that has fallen behind a cruise line’s latest schedule change.
If a route guide affects your booking decision
We write these guides so you can plan with more confidence, not as a substitute for confirming sailing dates, port calls and cabin categories directly with the cruise line or a travel agent before you pay for anything. If a detail on this site turns out to be wrong at the time you booked, our liability is limited to correcting the article — we are not a party to your booking and cannot refund or rearrange a cruise on your behalf.
Severability
If one clause in these terms is found unenforceable, the rest of the terms continue to apply as written.
Entire agreement
These terms, together with our privacy policy, are the entire agreement between you and Duff Core Blend regarding use of this site and supersede any earlier understanding on the subject.
