This page explains the purpose, limitations and conditions relating to the use of Moscow Vibes (moscowvibes.com). It also provides information about external services, copyright and liability.
These terms do not limit any rights or protections that cannot be excluded under applicable law.
What This Website Is
Moscow Vibes is an independent English-language travel information website about Moscow, Russia.
We publish travel guides, destination information, recommendations and practical planning resources for visitors. Our content is intended to help readers research destinations and organise their own trips.
Moscow Vibes is not a travel agency, tour operator or booking service. We do not directly sell travel arrangements or conclude travel booking contracts on behalf of visitors.
Some pages contain links to external travel providers, booking platforms and other commercial services. These providers operate under their own terms and conditions.
No Professional Advice
Our articles and tools provide general travel information. They do not constitute legal, immigration, medical, financial, security or other professional advice.
Visa requirements, entry conditions, residence rules, travel restrictions, payment arrangements and other legal requirements may depend on your nationality, personal circumstances and travel dates.
Consult the relevant authorities, official government information or qualified professionals when important decisions require specialist guidance.
You are responsible for reviewing the information relevant to your own travel plans and circumstances.
Accuracy and Changes
We aim to provide useful, accurate and understandable travel information. Our editorial methods are described in our Editorial Policy.
Articles are prepared with AI assistance and checked according to the editorial process described there. Nevertheless, automated systems and editorial reviews cannot prevent every mistake or omission.
Information about attractions, museums, restaurants, hotels, shops, transport services and other destinations may change without notice.
Opening hours, admission prices, ticket requirements, reservation procedures, transport routes, payment methods, entry conditions and business availability may change after an article has been prepared or reviewed.
Safety conditions, government travel advice and restrictions affecting international travellers may also change.
Before making travel arrangements, confirm important information directly with the relevant venue, transport operator, service provider or competent authority.
We cannot guarantee that every detail published on the website is complete, accurate or current at the time you read it.
Tools, App and Read-Aloud Function
Moscow Vibes provides interactive planning features, including Moscow Mode, saved places, suggested itineraries, nearby-place functions and a read-aloud option.
These tools are intended to assist with travel planning and do not replace official navigation, transport or emergency information.
Routes and Travel Estimates
Distances, estimated walking times, suggested routes and nearby-place results are approximate. Actual conditions may differ because of road access, pedestrian restrictions, construction, weather, transport disruptions or other circumstances.
Check important journeys with an appropriate navigation or transport service before travelling.
Russian Names and Addresses
Russian names, addresses, translations and useful phrases displayed in the website or app may be prepared with AI assistance.
They are provided as practical aids for identifying places, reading signs or communicating with transport providers.
Spelling, transliteration and translation errors may occur. Verify important details, especially addresses and destination names, before relying on them.
External Navigation Services
Some features provide links to external navigation services, including Google Maps, Yandex Maps and 2GIS.
These services are operated by third parties. Their routes, location information, availability, terms and privacy practices are outside our direct control.
Where an external service is opened, its own terms and privacy arrangements apply.
Local Storage and Offline Features
Moscow Mode may store saved places, travel plans, notes, photographs and offline information locally in your browser.
Browser storage may be deleted when you clear website data, reset your browser, change devices or use private browsing.
Information stored only on your device may not be recoverable after deletion. Consider keeping your own copy of important travel plans and information.
If you choose to export, print or share a travel story, you are responsible for deciding what information to include and where to share it.
Read-Aloud Function
The read-aloud function uses speech technology provided by your browser or device.
Automatically generated speech may mispronounce Russian names, addresses and other words.
If the spoken version is unclear or differs from the displayed article, refer to the written text.
Nightlife and Going Out
Our nightlife articles provide general information about bars, clubs, music venues and evening entertainment. They are not intended to encourage excessive alcohol consumption.
Admission requirements, dress codes, minimum entry ages, reservation policies, prices and opening hours may change. Venues may also close or change their names or business models.
The general minimum legal age for purchasing alcohol in Russia is 18. Individual venues may impose higher entry requirements and request identification.
Confirm the current admission conditions directly with the venue before visiting.
Drink responsibly, keep your belongings secure, remain aware of your surroundings and check prices before ordering.
Arrange suitable transportation and follow applicable laws and reasonable safety instructions.
Third-Party Websites and Offers
Moscow Vibes contains links to external websites and services, including accommodation providers, airlines, tour operators, attractions, navigation services and online retailers.
Some commercial links are provided through Travelpayouts or the Amazon Associates programme.
We may receive compensation when visitors make qualifying bookings or purchases through affiliate links. These relationships are explained in our Affiliate and Advertising Disclosure.
External providers are responsible for their own websites, services, prices, availability and contractual terms.
Where you make a booking or purchase through an external provider, the resulting contract is generally concluded between you and that provider rather than Moscow Vibes.
We do not control third-party websites and cannot guarantee that their information, offers or services will remain available or unchanged.
Visitors should review the relevant provider’s booking conditions, cancellation rules, payment arrangements and privacy information before completing a transaction.
Links to third-party websites do not automatically constitute our endorsement of every statement, product or service offered there.
Nothing in this section excludes responsibility that cannot legally be excluded.
Liability
Our liability is governed by applicable statutory law.
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for intentional misconduct, gross negligence, injury to life, body or health caused by a culpable breach of duty, or any other liability that cannot legally be excluded or restricted.
Mandatory statutory liability, including liability under applicable product liability legislation where relevant, remains unaffected.
Where legally permissible, liability for slight negligence may be limited to cases involving the breach of essential contractual obligations. In such cases, any permissible limitation is subject to the applicable rules concerning typical, foreseeable damage.
The availability of our travel articles free of charge does not override mandatory statutory rights or liability provisions.
Information presented on Moscow Vibes should be evaluated in light of its general informational purpose and the limitations described in this document.
