Terms of Service

Acceptance of Terms

By accessing and using Sight Unknown (the Service), you accept and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use the Service.

Description of Service

Sight Unknown is an AI-powered neighborhood discovery and comparison platform that helps people explore neighborhoods across global cities. The Service provides:

• Neighborhood profiles with descriptions, photos, and local insights
• AI-powered similarity matching between neighborhoods
• Restaurant, nightlife, and walking-area recommendations
• Weather information and local event listings
• Artist heritage and cultural landmark information

User Accounts

Some features may require sign-in using Replit authentication. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and for activity that occurs under your account.

• Provide accurate and complete information
• Safeguard your login credentials
• Notify us through the available feedback channel of unauthorized access
• Do not share your account in a way that creates a security or service risk

Acceptable Use and Proportionate Safeguards

You agree to use the Service lawfully and not to interfere with its operation. Do not use scripts, crawlers, or other automated tools for bulk extraction, systematic downloading, harvesting, or collection of a substantial portion of the Service to make a competing dataset, model, or service without permission.

Do not circumvent or evade rate limits, quotas, request ceilings, access controls, robots directives, or other technical safeguards, including by rotating identities or coordinating requests to defeat those controls. Do not attempt unauthorized access, submit false or misleading feedback, disrupt the Service, or resell or redistribute Service content without authorization.

These rules regulate abusive extraction and safeguard circumvention; they do not restrict ordinary browsing or access to any city or neighborhood in the catalog. We may use reasonable, proportionate request limits or temporary safeguards to protect availability, privacy, and other visitors, with exceptions and review handled according to the circumstances.

Ordinary browser use, accessibility tools, search-engine indexing that follows published controls, and small excerpts or links permitted by applicable law are not prohibited by this section.

Intellectual Property and Third-Party Content

The Service and its original content, excluding user-generated and third-party content, are provided by Sight Unknown and its licensors. Content remains subject to the rights and licenses of its respective owners.

• Neighborhood photos may be sourced from Wikimedia Commons under applicable Creative Commons licenses; attribution is provided where required.
• Artist artwork may come from public-domain or museum collections subject to the applicable source terms.
• AI-generated comparisons and insights are informational content and may contain errors.

Disclaimers and Service Limits

The Service is provided as is, without warranties of any kind to the extent permitted by applicable law. Information can be incomplete, out of date, or incorrect. Venue hours, prices, availability, event dates, weather, safety conditions, and other local details can change without notice.

AI-generated recommendations are general informational suggestions, not professional travel, relocation, legal, financial, medical, or safety advice. Check important information with an appropriate official or qualified source before relying on it or making a decision.

We do not promise uninterrupted, secure, or error-free access, that a recommendation will fit a particular need, or that third-party content and links will remain available or accurate.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Sight Unknown will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from use of the Service. Any applicable limitation is subject to rights that cannot lawfully be limited.

Third-Party Links

The Service may link to third-party websites or services. We do not control or endorse their content or practices. Your use of a third-party service is governed by its own terms and privacy information.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms by posting a revised version on this page and changing the Last updated date. Material changes will be communicated through the Service when reasonably practical. Continued use after an update means that you acknowledge the revised terms to the extent permitted by law.

Suspension or Termination

We may suspend or end access when reasonably necessary to protect the Service, visitors, or third parties, or when conduct materially violates these Terms. We will not use this section to remove ordinary access to cities simply because a city is outside a search or indexing cohort.

Governing Law

Any governing-law or dispute provisions that apply will be interpreted subject to applicable law and the owner's legal review of these draft Terms.

Questions

If you have questions about these Terms, use the feedback button in the Service. No email address or physical address is designated by this draft.
