Terms of use

These terms apply to madeiraguide.com, the 3D island and the Madeira app for iPhone. By using them you accept these terms.

The guide

Madeira Guide is a free, non-commercial guide. Its texts, statuses, forecasts, figures and routes are offered to help you plan, as they are, without any promise that they are complete, current or free of mistakes.

Outdoors at your own risk

Conditions on Madeira change quickly: trails close after rain or rockfalls, the weather in the mountains turns within hours, and the sea can be dangerous. Before you set out, check the official sources (IFCN for the state of the trails, IPMA for warnings) and follow local signs and the authorities. Do not rely on the guide alone for your safety. Walking, swimming, driving and every activity the guide describes are at your own risk.

Directions and navigation

Directions and voice guidance are an aid. Follow road signs, the traffic law and the conditions in front of you, and set your route before you drive.

Illustrations

Some pictures on the site are AI illustrations and are marked as such. They are not photographs of the place.

Content and licences

The guide’s texts and design belong to Madeira Guide. Map and weather data belong to their sources and are used under their licences: terrain © Região Autónoma da Madeira (CC BY 4.0); orthophotos 2023 © DROTe (CC BY); © OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL); coastline © DGT, CAOP 2022; forecasts by Open-Meteo (CC BY 4.0) and IPMA.

Fair use

Liability

To the extent the law allows, Madeira Guide is not liable for any loss or damage arising from the use of the guide. Nothing in these terms limits the rights you have under the law of your country.
