3. Entry requirements and official travel advice

Information on Sunmaj relating to passports, visas, border requirements, travel restrictions, health requirements or other entry conditions is provided for general guidance.

Requirements may vary depending on factors including your nationality, personal circumstances, destination and travel dates.

Before travelling, you should check the latest information from appropriate official sources, such as the relevant government, embassy, consulate or border authority.

UK travellers should consider checking current official UK government foreign travel advice before travelling internationally.

Sunmaj is not a government authority, immigration adviser or legal adviser.

These may include estimated or researched costs for:

  • Flights

Unless expressly stated otherwise, these figures are provided as illustrative examples and should not be treated as guaranteed prices, quotations or offers.

Travel prices can change according to availability, demand, booking dates, travel dates, departure location and other factors outside our control.

Where possible, we aim to explain the assumptions behind our Budget Snapshots.

You should always check the final price directly with the relevant provider before making a booking or purchase.

A Sunmaj Score, rating, verdict or recommendation is not an official rating and should not be interpreted as a guarantee that a particular destination, provider, product or service will be suitable for every traveller.

Travel preferences are personal.

You should consider your own circumstances, budget, priorities and requirements when making travel decisions.

For more information about our editorial process, please see our Editorial Policy.

6. No professional advice

Content published on Sunmaj is provided for general informational purposes.

Nothing on Sunmaj should be considered a substitute for professional financial, legal, medical, immigration, insurance or other specialist advice where such advice is appropriate.

For example, information about travel money should not be treated as personalised financial advice, and information about travel insurance should not be treated as a recommendation that a particular policy is suitable for your individual needs.

You are responsible for assessing whether you need independent professional advice before making a decision.

7. Affiliate links

Some links on Sunmaj may be affiliate links.

If you click an affiliate link and subsequently make a qualifying booking or purchase, Sunmaj may receive a commission or referral fee.

In most cases, this does not increase the price you pay.

Affiliate relationships do not determine our editorial conclusions or guarantee that a provider will receive a positive recommendation.

For more information, please read our Affiliate Disclosure.

8. Third-party websites and services

Sunmaj may contain links to websites operated by third parties.

These may include:

  • Airlines
  • Hotels and accommodation providers
  • Booking platforms
  • Package holiday providers
  • Rail and transport operators
  • Travel insurance providers
  • Banks and financial service providers

  • Airports
  • Attractions and activity providers

These third-party websites and services are independent from Sunmaj.

We do not control their content, availability, security, prices, products, services, policies or business practices.

The inclusion of a link does not necessarily mean that Sunmaj endorses everything offered or stated on the linked website.

When you visit a third-party website, you should review its own terms, privacy policy, cancellation policy and booking conditions.

9. Bookings and purchases

Unless explicitly stated otherwise, Sunmaj does not directly provide or sell flights, accommodation, package holidays, insurance, financial products or other travel services.

If you follow a link from Sunmaj and make a booking or purchase with a third-party provider, your contract is with that provider.

Any questions, changes, cancellations, refunds, disputes or claims relating to that transaction should generally be addressed to the relevant provider in accordance with its terms and conditions and your applicable legal rights.

Sunmaj is not a party to contracts entered into directly between you and third-party providers merely because you reached that provider through a link on our website.

10. Intellectual property

Unless otherwise stated, the original content created for Sunmaj—including written articles, original graphics, Sunmaj branding, page designs and distinctive editorial features—is owned by or licensed to Sunmaj and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

You may view and use Sunmaj content for your own personal, non-commercial purposes.

You must not, without appropriate permission:

  • Reproduce substantial parts of our articles
  • Republish our content on another website or platform
  • Sell or commercially exploit our content
  • Present Sunmaj content as your own
  • Systematically scrape, extract or copy our content
  • Use Sunmaj branding in a way that suggests an unauthorised association or endorsement

Brief quotations may be used where permitted by applicable law and with appropriate attribution.

Images and other third-party material may be subject to separate copyright or licensing conditions.

11. Acceptable use

You agree not to misuse Sunmaj.

You must not knowingly:

  • Use the website for unlawful or fraudulent purposes
  • Attempt to gain unauthorised access to the website, server or related systems
  • Introduce viruses, malware or other harmful material
  • Interfere with the operation or security of the website
  • Attempt to overwhelm the website through automated requests or attacks

We may restrict access where reasonably necessary to protect the website, our users or our rights.

12. User comments and submissions

If Sunmaj allows comments, reviews or other user-submitted content, you are responsible for the material you submit.

You must not submit content that is unlawful, threatening, abusive, defamatory, discriminatory, deliberately misleading or infringes another person’s rights.

We reserve the right to moderate or remove user-submitted content where reasonably appropriate.

We are not responsible for opinions expressed by website visitors in comments or other user-generated content.

13. Website availability

We aim to keep Sunmaj available and functioning correctly, but we cannot guarantee uninterrupted access.

We may occasionally suspend, restrict or change parts of the website for maintenance, security, technical reasons or other operational purposes.

We may also change, update or remove content without notice.

14. Limitation of liability

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, or any statutory rights that apply to you.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Sunmaj is not responsible for losses arising solely from reliance on information that has become outdated or from the acts, omissions, availability, pricing or services of independent third-party providers.

You remain responsible for verifying material travel information and reviewing the terms of any third-party booking or purchase before committing to it.

We do not attempt through these Terms to exclude rights or liabilities where doing so would be unlawful. UK consumer terms and notices must be fair, and certain liabilities cannot simply be excluded through website terms. (GOV.UK)

Your use of Sunmaj may involve the collection and processing of certain information.

Please read our Privacy Policy for information about how we handle personal information.

Please read our Cookie Policy for information about cookies and similar technologies used on the website.

We may update these Terms of Use from time to time to reflect changes to:

  • Sunmaj and its services
  • Our business model

Nothing in these Terms is intended to deprive you of any mandatory legal protections or rights that apply to you.

UK guidance emphasises that consumer-facing terms must be fair and clear, and unfair terms may not be enforceable. (GOV.UK)
