1. Acceptance and scope
By accessing or using CostaRicaCaribbean.com, you agree to these Terms of Use to the extent permitted by applicable law. If you disagree, please stop using the website.
The site offers tourism and community information, business and lodging listings, events, transport information, and ways to contact independent providers in Costa Rica's South Caribbean. Additional written agreements may apply to participating businesses, advertisers, or event organizers.
2. Information is provided as a guide
We strive to make listings, prices, opening hours, bus schedules, fares, availability, directions, and other information useful and accurate, but these details may change without notice. Verify important details with the business, transport operator, venue, or other provider before making arrangements.
Do not rely on the website as an emergency service or as a substitute for official health, safety, travel, weather, immigration, or transportation guidance.
3. Independent businesses and bookings
Restaurants, tour operators, accommodation providers, drivers, services, and event organizers listed on the website are generally independent third parties. Unless clearly stated for a specific transaction, Costa Rica Caribbean is not the supplier or operator of their products or services.
When you contact a provider through WhatsApp, phone, an external booking site, or another link, the provider's own pricing, cancellation rules, availability, service terms, and privacy practices may apply. Any dispute about the underlying service should first be addressed with the provider, without limiting rights available under applicable consumer law.
4. Submissions and business listings
If you submit a listing, event, image, description, inquiry, or other content, you represent that the information is accurate to the best of your knowledge and that you have permission to provide it. You must not submit deceptive, illegal, infringing, abusive, or malicious content.
You grant Costa Rica Caribbean a non-exclusive license to display and adapt content you submit for the purpose of operating and promoting your listing or event, subject to applicable agreements and law. You retain ownership of your original content. We may review, correct, reject, or remove submissions that violate these terms or pose an operational risk.
5. Acceptable use
Do not interfere with the website's operation, attempt unauthorized access, misuse forms or chat features, impersonate others, scrape content in violation of applicable law or technical restrictions, introduce malware, or manipulate QR scans, leads, clicks, or other analytics.
6. Coco AI and translations
Coco is an automated travel guide, not a human agent. Its answers and translated website content may contain inaccuracies or omissions. Always confirm safety-critical information, availability, reservation details, transport times, and prices with an authoritative source.
Automated translations are provided for convenience. If wording differs among languages, please contact us for clarification before relying on it to make a significant decision.
7. Intellectual property and external links
Unless stated otherwise, Costa Rica Caribbean's original website design, text, branding, and other original materials are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. Third-party logos, images, trademarks, and submissions remain the property of their respective owners.
External websites and services are outside our direct control. Providing a link does not guarantee or endorse the provider's services, reliability, or practices.
8. Fees and commercial arrangements
Business memberships, featured listings, advertisements, event placements, commissions, and any paid services are governed by the pricing and terms disclosed to the participating business and, where applicable, separate written agreements. We may change publicly advertised offerings prospectively.
9. Availability and responsibility
The website is provided on an "as available" basis, subject to mandatory consumer protections and other applicable law. We do not guarantee uninterrupted access or that all content is free from errors.
To the extent permitted by law, Costa Rica Caribbean is not responsible for losses caused by inaccurate third-party listings, changes to independent-provider services, or interruptions beyond our reasonable control. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot legally be excluded.
10. Governing law, changes, and contact
These terms are interpreted under applicable Costa Rican law, subject to any mandatory consumer protections or other non-waivable rights. We may update them to reflect changes to the site or applicable requirements. Continued use after an updated version is posted constitutes acceptance only to the extent permitted by law.
