Terms of Service

Effective Date: January 1, 2025 | Last Updated: February 14, 2025

Welcome to josnston.site. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the website, journal publications, and bespoke advisory services provided by 111111 ("Company", "we", "us", or "our"). By browsing or engaging with our platform, you signify your unreserved acceptance of these Terms.

1. Definitions and Terminology

2. Permitted Use and Lawful Conduct

You agree to use this platform solely for legitimate personal or professional research purposes. You must not engage in any activity that impairs server infrastructure, introduces malicious software, or bypasses access restriction protocols.

3. Scope of Services & Editorial Nature

111111 is an independent digital journal and boutique travel consultancy. Unless expressly agreed under a formal signed advisory retainer, dispatches and articles on our site represent subjective editorial reviews and documentary field reflections. They do not constitute certified mountaineering, safety, or legal guarantees for remote territories.

4. Inquiries, Orders, and Binding Agreements

Submitting an inquiry through our contact forms or email does not bind 111111 to deliver travel planning or custom research. A binding engagement arises only upon mutual written confirmation and execution of a specific service scope detailing milestones, fees, and deliverables.

5. Fees, Invoicing, and Remittances

Prices for custom itinerary curation or media licensing are quoted in United States Dollars (USD) or as mutually stipulated in writing. All retainers and fees must be settled according to invoice payment instructions prior to the release of proprietary monographs or planning files.

6. Cancellation and Postponement Policies

Due to the customized nature of bespoke itinerary advisory and archival research, fees paid for completed research phases are non-refundable once work has commenced. Detailed cancellation terms will be stated in your specific consultation agreement.

7. Client and Traveler Obligations

Clients commissioning expedition scouting or traveling on suggested routes are solely responsible for securing their own passports, visas, wilderness travel insurance, vaccinations, and physical preparedness. 111111 is not an airline, transportation carrier, or licensed medical advisor.

8. Intellectual Property Rights

All content on josnston.site—including written essays, photographic archives, typography, layout, trademarks, and the 111111 logo—is the exclusive intellectual property of 111111 and protected by United States and international copyright laws. Reproduction, redistribution, or commercial scraping without express written authorization is strictly prohibited.

9. Confidentiality

Both parties agree to treat private communications, personal travel itineraries, and bespoke consultation materials as confidential, taking reasonable measures to prevent unauthorized disclosure to external parties.

10. Disclaimer of Warranties

The site and all content are provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, 111111 disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular geographic pursuit, and non-infringement. Mountain conditions, trail closures, and accommodation policies change unpredictably; travelers must verify conditions locally.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, 111111, its officers, authors, and photographers shall not be held liable for any indirect, incidental, punitive, or consequential damages resulting from your use of information published on our platform or physical expeditions undertaken based on our editorial notes.

12. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless 111111 and its affiliates from and against any claims, losses, liabilities, or legal expenses arising from your violation of these Terms or misuse of materials obtained from this website.

13. Third-Party Services and Neutrality

References to external lodges, transport providers, or gear brands are made strictly for editorial context. We maintain no fiduciary relationship with mentioned third parties unless explicitly disclosed as an institutional collaboration.

14. Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate access to our digital platform or cease advisory communications at our sole discretion, without prior notice, for breach of these Terms.

15. Force Majeure

111111 shall not be held liable for any delay or failure in performance resulting from events beyond reasonable control, including natural disasters, severe climate phenomena, geopolitical unrest, governmental travel advisories, or telecommunication outages.

16. Applicable Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms and any disputes arising hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States of America and the applicable State law, without regard to conflict of law doctrines. You agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within the United States.

17. Modifications to Terms

We reserve the right to revise these Terms at any time. Continued use of josnston.site following any posted revisions constitutes your acceptance of the amended terms.
