Terms of use

Scope

These terms apply to the website thevintagemarketguide.com, the newsletter and the WhatsApp concierge «Mira» operated by The Vintage Market Guide («we»). By using these services you agree to these terms.

What we offer

The Vintage Market Guide is an editorial guide to flea markets, brocantes and vintage markets in Switzerland and just across its borders. We publish market and event details, recommendations and curated routes. The service is free and intended for private visitors.

No warranty on market and event details

We compile our content with the greatest possible care. Dates, opening hours and locations can nevertheless change at short notice or be cancelled. We give no warranty as to accuracy, completeness or timeliness. Only the organiser’s own information is authoritative. Please check with the organiser before travelling.

WhatsApp concierge (Mira)

«Mira» is an automated information service that composes its answers with a language model. Answers can be wrong or incomplete and are no substitute for confirmation by the organiser. Mira is intended for general questions about markets only. Please do not send sensitive personal data through the service. Our privacy policy describes the data processing.

Permitted use

You use our services for your personal, non-commercial purposes. Automated extraction of larger volumes of data (scraping), abusive or unlawful use of the WhatsApp service, and any action impairing the availability or security of the services are prohibited. Search engines may index our pages in the usual way. You may link to individual pages and share those links for non-commercial purposes.

Copyright and database

Individual facts such as the name, date, opening hours and location of a market often come from public sources or from the organisers. We claim no rights in such facts to the extent that they are not protected by law.

Our own work is protected: editorial text, photographs, video and graphics, the classification of markets including the market marks, and the selection, arrangement and preparation of the information in our database. None of it may be reproduced, republished or used commercially without our prior written consent.

In particular, it is prohibited to extract, copy or take over substantial parts of our database or content, automatically or systematically, in order to build, run or enrich a competing directory, database, app or commercial service.

Images supplied to us by organisers remain the property of their creators. For licensing, press images or any other use, write to hello@thevintagemarketguide.com.

Liability

To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for damage arising from the use or unavailability of our services, from incorrect market or event details, or from answers given by the WhatsApp concierge. We take no responsibility for external links; the content of the respective provider governs.

Changes

We may amend these terms at any time. The version published on this page applies.

Governing law

Swiss law applies. To the extent permitted by law, the place of jurisdiction is the seat of The Vintage Market Guide (Switzerland). Contact: hello@thevintagemarketguide.com.
