1. Operator and acceptance
These terms apply to your use of friendbasketroostr.forum, an independent informational website operated by Friend Basket Roostr Forum ehf., Hafnarstræti 20, 101 Reykjavík, Iceland. By accessing the site, you agree to these terms to the extent permitted by applicable law. If you do not agree, do not use the website. The site is not affiliated with Icelandic authorities, road authorities, tourism organizations, vehicle rental companies, airlines, accommodation providers, restaurants or tour operators.
2. Informational nature and safety
Content is general travel information about Icelandic winter routes, driving preparation, destinations, weather considerations and trip planning. It is not navigation, a live road-status service, a forecast, an emergency service, professional driving instruction or a guarantee that a place or road is accessible. Conditions, restrictions, facilities, weather, daylight and services can change. You are responsible for checking current local road and weather information immediately before travel and following current restrictions and safety instructions.
Do not use this site to justify driving through a closure, ignoring a warning, crossing a barrier or continuing in unsafe conditions. Assess your experience, vehicle and circumstances. Change or cancel plans when travel is unsafe. The operator does not control roads, weather or third-party services and cannot make a journey safe through published guidance.
3. Accuracy and changes
Reasonable care may be used when preparing editorial content, but the operator does not warrant that every statement is complete, current, error-free or suitable for your circumstances. Named destinations are references and do not establish access, opening hours, facilities or site safety. No live forecasts, current closures, prices, availability, ratings or verified conditions are represented unless expressly stated and supported on the relevant page. The site may update, remove or reorganize content without notice.
4. Acceptable use and user obligations
Use the site lawfully and do not interfere with its security, availability or other users’ access. Do not attempt unauthorized access, distribute malware, scrape or reuse content unlawfully, impersonate another person, submit harmful or unlawful material, or use the contact mechanisms to send spam. You are responsible for the accuracy and lawful nature of any information you provide. Do not rely on the site while driving or engage with a device in a way that distracts you from road safety.
5. Intellectual property
Unless a credit or separate notice says otherwise, the site’s original text, visual identity, layout and code are owned by or used under permission by the operator. You may access and print content for personal, non-commercial trip-planning reference. You may not reproduce, republish, distribute, sell or create derivative commercial material from substantial portions without prior written permission, except where applicable law allows. Third-party image providers and assets remain subject to their own rights and terms. No ownership claim is made over public geographic names or facts.
6. Third-party websites and services
The guide may refer readers to external sources for current information. External websites are controlled by their own operators, may change or become unavailable, and have separate terms and privacy practices. A link is provided for convenience and does not imply endorsement, partnership or verification. Review the relevant provider’s information before acting. The operator is not responsible for the content, availability, products or services of third parties.
7. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the operator excludes implied warranties and is not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss arising from use of, or inability to use, the site. This includes travel disruption, missed bookings, vehicle damage, injury or other loss resulting from reliance on general information, changing conditions or third-party services. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot legally be excluded, including liability for fraud or for death or personal injury caused by negligence where such exclusion is prohibited. Your statutory rights remain unaffected.
8. Termination and availability
The operator may restrict or end access where necessary to protect the site, comply with law or respond to misuse. The website is provided on an “as available” basis. Maintenance, network issues, hosting problems or other events may interrupt access. The operator does not promise uninterrupted availability or a particular response time to enquiries.
9. Governing law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of Iceland, subject to mandatory consumer protections and other non-waivable rules that apply where you live. Any dispute should first be raised in writing so the parties can consider an informal resolution. Where informal resolution is not possible, the competent courts and procedures will be determined under applicable law. Nothing here removes a consumer’s right to bring a claim in a forum required by local law.
10. Contact and revisions
Questions about these terms may be sent to [email protected] or through the Contact page. Revisions will be posted here with an updated effective date. Continued use after publication is subject to the revised terms to the extent permitted by law. These terms are general website conditions and are not a substitute for legal advice.
