By using this website, you agree to these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the website.
Use of the Website
You may use the website only for lawful purposes related to learning about the Saugatuck/Douglas area, planning travel, submitting inquiries, requesting information, or interacting with services we make available online. You agree not to misuse the website, interfere with its operation, attempt unauthorized access, or use automated means to scrape, copy, or exploit content or functionality except as permitted by applicable law.
- You may view, download, and print limited portions of the website for personal, non-commercial use.

- You may not use the website in a way that could disable, overburden, damage, or impair the website or interfere with any other person’s use of it.
Third-Party Listings, Bookings, and Services
The website may feature business listings, event information, directory content, booking request forms, promotions, maps, and links to services operated by hotels, restaurants, attractions, ticketing platforms, or other third parties. Unless we expressly say otherwise, those products and services are offered by independent third parties, not by SDACVB.

- Any transaction, reservation, purchase, or booking you make with a third party is solely between you and that provider.
- We are not responsible for third-party performance, omissions, errors, interruptions, injuries, losses, refunds, or disputes arising from third-party goods or services.
Accuracy and Availability
We work to keep the website useful and current, but we do not guarantee that all content is complete, accurate, or up to date at all times. Event schedules, hours, seasonal operations, lodging inventory, weather, travel conditions, and local business information may change frequently. We may update, suspend, or remove website features or content at any time without liability.
Intellectual Property
The website and its content, including text, graphics, logos, icons, photography, video, layout, and design elements, are owned by SDACVB, its licensors, or its content providers and are protected by intellectual property laws. “Art Coast” and related marks may be protected trademarks, service marks, or trade dress.
Nothing in these Terms of Use transfers any ownership rights to you. Any unauthorized use of website content or branding may violate copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, or other laws.
User Submissions
If you submit an inquiry, review, testimonial, photo, form response, suggestion, or other content through the website, you represent that you have the right to submit it and that it does not violate any law or third-party right. Unless a separate written agreement says otherwise, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, display, adapt, and distribute that submission in connection with operating, promoting, and improving the website and our destination marketing efforts.
We may remove submissions at our discretion, including content we believe is unlawful, misleading, defamatory, infringing, offensive, or inconsistent with the purpose of the website.
Links to Other Websites
The website may link to third-party websites, tools, maps, reservation systems, and social media services. Those links are provided for convenience only. We do not control third-party websites and are not responsible for their content, privacy practices, security, terms, or availability. Your use of any third-party website is at your own risk and subject to that third party’s own terms and policies.

The website is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, SDACVB disclaims all warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, and any warranties arising out of course of dealing or usage of trade. We do not warrant that the website will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or free of viruses or other harmful components.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, SDACVB and its officers, directors, employees, agents, partners, and affiliates will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, revenue, profits, goodwill, business interruption, or other intangible losses arising out of or related to your use of, or inability to use, the website or any linked third-party service. This applies even if we have been advised of the possibility of those damages.
If applicable law does not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, our liability will be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

These Terms of Use and any dispute relating to the website will be governed by the laws of the State of Michigan, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except to the extent superseded by applicable federal law.
