1.1 Agreement
These Terms of Use govern access to and use of BucketListPlanner.ca, including its attraction repository, city pages, maps, personal lists, favourites, visited history, trip planning tools, sharing features, Community Contributions, communications, and any free or paid features made available through the service.
By creating an account, selecting an acceptance checkbox, accessing the service, using the service, submitting content, or purchasing a paid feature, you agree to these Terms and the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not access or use the service.
The service is operated by BucketListPlanner.ca in Manitoba, Canada. Questions about these Terms may be sent to legal@bucketlistplanner.ca.
1.2 Eligibility and accounts
You must be at least 18 years old to create an account. A person under 18 may use the service only through an account created and supervised by a parent or legal guardian who accepts responsibility for that use.
You must provide accurate account information, keep your credentials confidential, and promptly notify us of suspected unauthorized access. You are responsible for activity performed through your account, except where applicable law provides otherwise.
We may require account verification and may suspend, restrict, or disable an account when reasonably necessary to address security concerns, suspected fraud, unlawful activity, misuse, non-payment, or a material breach of these Terms.
1.3 Nature of the service
BucketListPlanner.ca provides travel discovery, organization, editorial ranking, list management, and trip-planning tools. Unless expressly stated in a specific transaction, BucketListPlanner.ca does not sell transportation, accommodation, tours, insurance, immigration services, or other travel services and does not act as the supplier or travel agent for third-party services.
Rankings, descriptions, itineraries, recommendations, map markers, coordinates, travel times, and other information are provided for general information and planning support. They are not professional travel, legal, medical, immigration, safety, financial, or insurance advice.
1.4 User responsibility for travel decisions
You remain responsible for reviewing and confirming information before making travel decisions. This includes passports, visas, border requirements, public-health requirements, insurance, accessibility, personal safety, local laws, weather, natural hazards, opening hours, reservations, transportation schedules, prices, construction, closures, route conditions, and map coordinates.
Conditions can change without notice. You should confirm critical information directly with official authorities, transportation providers, venues, insurers, and other relevant suppliers.
1.5 Personal travel information
You control the travel information you enter, including bucket lists, favourites, visited history, ratings, notes, trip plans, shared lists, profile images, and contribution submissions. Do not enter passport numbers, payment-card details, health records, government identification numbers, confidential business information, or other sensitive information that is not required for travel planning.
When you enter personal information about another person, you confirm that you have authority to provide it and that you will limit the information to what is reasonably needed for the planning purpose.
1.6 Shared trips and collaboration
A trip owner controls direct sharing through the permissions available in the service. Recipients may view, copy, or interact with shared content according to those permissions. A copied trip becomes a separate record owned by the recipient and does not remain synchronized with the original unless the service expressly states otherwise.
You are responsible for selecting recipients carefully and removing access when sharing is no longer appropriate. We are not responsible for a recipient’s independent use, copying, disclosure, or retention of information that you chose to share, except where applicable law provides otherwise.
1.7 User content and licence
You retain ownership of content you create and submit, subject to any rights held by others. You grant BucketListPlanner.ca a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, format, display, transmit, back up, and otherwise process your content only as reasonably needed to operate, secure, support, and improve the service and to provide features you request.
For Community Contributions submitted for possible public use, you also grant BucketListPlanner.ca a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, royalty-free licence to review, verify, edit, adapt, translate, combine, publish, display, reproduce, and distribute the contribution as part of the public repository, editorial content, moderation records, and related service materials. This licence continues for contributions incorporated into the public repository, even if you later close your account, subject to privacy law and any rights that cannot be waived.
You confirm that you have the rights and permissions needed to submit the content and grant these licences. You must not submit confidential information, unlawful content, or material that infringes copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, personality, contractual, or other rights.
1.8 Community Contributions
Users may suggest attractions or cities, report errors, flag image concerns, report bugs, provide feedback, or request features. We may review, verify, edit, combine, accept, reject, publish, remove, or retain submissions for moderation, security, support, legal, and audit purposes. Submission does not guarantee review, publication, attribution, compensation, or a response within a specific period.
General ideas, suggestions, and feature requests may be used without payment or obligation, provided that we continue to handle personal information under the Privacy Policy.
1.9 Acceptable use
You must not:
- Use the service for unlawful, fraudulent, deceptive, harassing, infringing, or harmful activity.
- Interfere with the service, introduce malware, attempt unauthorized access, test security without written permission, or create excessive automated requests.
- Scrape, copy, extract, mirror, sell, license, or redistribute the repository or substantial parts of it at scale without written permission.
- Circumvent access controls, usage limits, subscription restrictions, or technical safeguards.
- Impersonate another person or organization, create false accounts, or misrepresent the source or accuracy of a contribution.
- Collect, disclose, or misuse another user’s personal information.
- Upload content that violates law or the rights of another person.
- Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive source code except where applicable law expressly permits that activity.
1.10 External services and links
The service may link to or integrate with maps, booking providers, travel experiences, retailers, payment processors, authentication providers, analytics services, and other third parties. Third-party services operate under their own terms and privacy policies.
Unless BucketListPlanner.ca is expressly identified as the seller, a purchase or booking made through a third-party service creates a relationship between you and that third party. The third party controls price, availability, fulfilment, warranties, cancellations, refunds, and customer service. We do not guarantee the availability, accuracy, security, legality, or performance of third-party services.
1.11 Affiliate relationships and sponsored content
BucketListPlanner.ca may receive a commission or other benefit when you follow certain links or complete qualifying purchases. Material affiliate or sponsorship relationships will be disclosed near the relevant link, recommendation, or content. Affiliate compensation does not purchase editorial Master Rank unless sponsored placement is clearly identified and separated from editorial rankings.
1.12 Paid services, trials, and billing
Some features may be offered through trials, packages, subscriptions, modules, or add-ons. Before a paid transaction, the checkout process will present the seller identity, currency, price, taxes, billing frequency, trial conditions, renewal terms, cancellation method, refund rules, and any material restrictions. Those transaction-specific terms form part of these Terms.
When automatic renewal applies, we will obtain the required authorization and explain the renewal frequency and cancellation process before purchase. You authorize the applicable charges until cancellation takes effect. Price changes will apply only after the notice required by the transaction terms and applicable law.
If payment fails, we may retry the charge, restrict paid features, downgrade the account, or suspend access after providing any notice required by law. Cancellation does not erase charges already incurred. Statutory cancellation, refund, chargeback, and consumer rights continue to apply.
1.13 Intellectual property
BucketListPlanner.ca and its licensors own the service, software, branding, interface design, database structure, editorial classifications, ranking methodology, and original written content. These materials are protected by copyright, trademark, database, and other laws. Third-party images, data, trademarks, and content remain subject to their original ownership and licence terms.
No right is granted except the limited right to use the service under these Terms. You may not use BucketListPlanner.ca branding in a way that suggests endorsement, partnership, or authorization without written permission.
1.14 Intellectual-property complaints
A rights holder may report disputed content by emailing legal@bucketlistplanner.ca. The notice should identify the claimant, the protected work or right, the disputed material and its location, the basis of the claim, relevant supporting information, and current contact details. We may request additional information, temporarily restrict access, correct attribution, replace content, remove content, preserve records, or reject unsupported or abusive claims.
1.15 Availability, changes, and data preservation
Features, rankings, classifications, integrations, and data may change. The service may be unavailable due to maintenance, security work, migrations, outages, provider failures, cyber incidents, legal requirements, or events outside our reasonable control.
You should keep independent copies of information that is important to you. We do not guarantee permanent storage, uninterrupted access, or recovery of every item of user content. Any export feature is provided as a convenience and may not reproduce every display or third-party element.
1.16 Disclaimer of warranties
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the service is provided “as is” and “as available.” BucketListPlanner.ca disclaims warranties and conditions of accuracy, completeness, currency, availability, security, merchantable quality, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, compatibility, uninterrupted operation, and results obtained from use of the service.
Nothing in these Terms excludes a warranty, condition, remedy, or consumer right that applicable law does not permit us to exclude.
1.17 Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, BucketListPlanner.ca and its owners, personnel, contractors, service providers, and licensors will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, revenue, business, bookings, opportunities, goodwill, data, or anticipated savings arising from or related to the service.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability arising from or related to the service will not exceed the greater of: (a) the amount you paid directly to BucketListPlanner.ca for the service during the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim; and (b) CAD $100.
These limits apply regardless of the legal basis of the claim and even when a remedy fails of its essential purpose. They do not apply where prohibited by law, including liability that cannot lawfully be limited for fraud, wilful misconduct, or other non-waivable obligations.
1.18 Indemnity
To the extent permitted by law, you will indemnify and hold harmless BucketListPlanner.ca and its owners, personnel, contractors, service providers, and licensors from third-party claims, losses, liabilities, costs, and reasonable legal fees arising from your unlawful use of the service, your content, your breach of these Terms, or your violation of another person’s rights. This obligation does not apply to the extent a claim results from our own fraud, wilful misconduct, or liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.
1.19 Suspension and termination
You may stop using the service and request account closure at any time. We may suspend or terminate access when reasonably necessary for security, legal compliance, non-payment, service discontinuation, or a material breach of these Terms. Where appropriate and lawful, we will provide notice and a reasonable opportunity to correct the issue.
After termination, access to account content may end. We may retain information as described in the Privacy Policy, including backups, security logs, transaction records, moderation history, and public contributions. Sections concerning ownership, user-content licences, disclaimers, liability, indemnity, disputes, and accrued obligations survive termination where their nature requires survival.
1.20 Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms to reflect changes in the service, law, risk, or business practices. We will post the revised version and update the effective date. For material changes, we will provide reasonable notice through the service, email, or another appropriate method. Where required, we will request renewed acceptance. Continued use after the effective date means you accept the updated Terms, except where applicable law requires a different form of consent.
1.21 Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of Manitoba and the federal laws of Canada applicable in Manitoba, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Subject to any mandatory consumer right to bring a claim elsewhere, the courts located in Winnipeg, Manitoba will have jurisdiction over disputes arising from these Terms or the service.
Before starting formal proceedings, you and BucketListPlanner.ca agree to attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute by written notice and reasonable discussion. This section does not prevent either party from seeking urgent injunctive relief or exercising a statutory right.
1.22 General provisions
These Terms, the Privacy Policy, any transaction-specific terms, and any other policy expressly incorporated by reference form the agreement between you and BucketListPlanner.ca concerning the service. If a provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign your rights or obligations without our written consent. We may assign the agreement as part of a restructuring, financing, sale, or transfer of the service, subject to applicable privacy law. Headings are for convenience only.
