The site makes selective recommendations
Providence Guide is not a complete city directory. Inclusion, exclusion, and ordering reflect editorial judgment rather than marketplace completeness.
Terms
Terms for using Providence Guide
Providence Guide is an editorial travel publisher built to help travelers make better decisions. It does not replace direct verification with a business or venue before booking, visiting, or purchasing.
These terms describe the editorial scope, commercial boundary, user responsibility, privacy-policy relationship, and limits of the publisher's liability.
Plain-English Rule
Use the guide as guidance, not a guarantee
Last revised May 18, 2026. Facts are reviewed and freshness-scoped, but local business conditions can change. Always confirm time-sensitive details directly.
Partnerships do not equal editorial recommendation
Business claims, support requests, and founding-partner beta conversations do not guarantee guide inclusion, ranking, or endorsement.
Travel decisions remain yours
Providence Guide is a planning tool. Reservations, purchases, and destination choices remain the responsibility of the user.
Do not misuse the site, forms, or copied content
Users should not abuse publisher-operated forms, scrape the site for bulk republication, impersonate a business, or use the guide for fraudulent or harmful activity.
Use also means accepting the privacy notice
Analytics, cookies, support requests, and publisher-operated forms are handled under the privacy page. Do not submit another person's personal information unless you have authority to do so.
What The Site Is
An editorial guide, not a booking, venue, or review platform
Providence Guide publishes selective city-guide content. It is not the operator of the restaurants, hotels, venues, or external booking tools linked from the site.
Freshness reduces risk but cannot erase change
The publisher checks sources and keeps review windows, but menus, hours, staffing, pricing, event timing, and venue policies can still change after a page is published.
Bookings and purchases happen off-site
Reservations, ticket purchases, map routes, and hotel bookings usually happen through external sites or providers. Their terms and policies apply to those transactions.
The guide is selective by design
A missing business, district, event, or venue does not mean it was reviewed and rejected. It may simply sit outside the current editorial scope.
Privacy, Cookies, And Submissions
The site may measure usage and process submitted requests
The terms and privacy page work together: these terms govern acceptable use of the service, while the privacy page explains collection, retention, processors, cookies, and request handling.
Measurement is part of site operation
Providence Guide may measure page views, outbound actions, form activity, and public page usage to understand whether the guide is working and where public pages need improvement.
Browser controls remain available
Users may block or clear cookies and similar browser storage. Some measurement or operational signals may become less complete, but the public content should remain readable.
Submitted content can be reviewed and used
If you send corrections, source links, claim details, or business context, Providence Guide may review those materials and use them to update, decline, or document a public page.
Business and User Boundaries
Correction requests are welcome, but they do not buy outcomes
The site accepts corrections, claim requests, and partnership inquiries, but those workflows do not override editorial judgment or create ranking guarantees.
Factual corrections can improve a public page
Businesses and readers can send factual corrections, source links, or missing next steps. Providence Guide may review and apply those changes without promising any particular recommendation or ranking outcome.
Operational contact does not change editorial rules
Ownership claims, support requests, or business review conversations do not create paid recommendation rights, preferred inclusion, or guaranteed indexation.
The publisher keeps control of the editorial guide
Site copy, layout, structured data, and selection logic remain part of the publisher's work. Do not republish large portions as if they were your own.
Liability and Changes
The guide tries to be useful, not to assume your travel risk
Use the guide to make better choices faster, but not as a warranty about a restaurant, hotel, transit move, or event outcome.
The publisher is not responsible for third-party outcomes
Providence Guide is not liable for booking failures, venue decisions, service problems, schedule changes, or losses caused by third-party providers or stale information that changed after review.
The site can change or pause without notice
Pages, links, forms, and public coverage can change as the site evolves, coverage expands, or operational requirements change.
Material changes should be reflected by the revised date
Providence Guide may update these terms as the publisher workflow, trust pages, or commercial services change. Continued use of the site means you accept the then-current terms.
