Disclaimer and policies

Terms of Use

This policy is valid from the 10th of September 2018.

The reading of The Roaming Flamingo website is at your own free will and leisure – nice to know I can help make you feel relaxed and excited! If you do not accept these terms and conditions, it will be best to shut down this website tab on your computer or mobile device – but that would also mean you will be missing out on super fun articles and travel advice – so why would you do that?

The Roaming Flamingo reserve the right to change any of these terms and conditions outlined on the website at any given time, so feel free to pop in and check in from time to time to see the latest changes. The Roaming Flamingo website could have had more changes than David Beckham’s hairstyle evolution catalogue.

The Roaming Flamingo works harder than a hamster on a wheel to provide you with up-to-date information through research on writing and rewriting published articles. The Roaming Flamingo makes no representations or guarantees of any kind (either expressed or implied) about the accuracy, suitability or availability of any information featured on this website. This also extends to products, services or related graphics contained to this website.

The Roaming Flamingo advises conducting additional research in relation to prices, addresses, relevant information and website addresses for up-to-date information. This way, it will save you the hassle of walking to a referenced ice-cream shack by the beach to shock horror, discover it has now been converted into some kind of museum dedicated to the humble seagull.

The Roaming Flamingo aims to provide you – the captivated reader you are – with accurate information at the time of publishing, however, some information will understandably be out of date (possibly like your latest Facebook profile picture) as time passes. If you find any inaccurate information, please do not hesitate to contact me to correct the oversight or mistake. Unfortunately, a bot has been created yet to be The Roaming Flamingo’s non-stop website maintenance guru.

Hold Harmless

All information, tips and advice published on The Roaming Flamingo is from author Julia D’Orazio’s own sentiments, experiences and observations and is for general information and entertainment purposes only.

The Roaming Flamingo cannot be held responsible for any offence that may be taken due to translation, interpretation or mistakes in grammar and/or punctuation of the website content. If only Nelly’s Country Grammar album taught me more about grammar and less about rap…

Although it would be far better to live nine lives and tell the tale, The Roaming Flamingo does not provide any medical, professional, beautician, love doctor or psychic advice (you get the gist). Information provided on The Roaming Flamingo is consumed at your own risk.
