The photographs on this Site represent artistic interpretations of real locations. We use standard post-processing techniques (exposure adjustment, color correction, cropping). We do not composite or manipulate scenes in ways that misrepresent the physical reality of a location. However, photographs are inherently subjective — lighting, timing, and framing choices affect how a place appears. Use our guides as starting points, not definitive representations.
Some locations mentioned in our guides may have access restrictions, photography permits, or rules that change over time. It is your responsibility to verify current access conditions, obtain necessary permits, and comply with property rules before visiting any location. We are not liable for denied access or other issues arising from following our guides.
If you submit content via the contact form or email (such as questions, feedback, or corrections), you grant us a non-exclusive license to use, reproduce, and display that content for the purpose of responding to your submission or improving the Site. We will not publish personal communications without your consent.
The Site may contain links to external websites that are not operated by us. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of third-party sites. Visiting any external link is at your own risk.
The Site and its content are provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not guarantee that the information is accurate, complete, or current. See our disclaimer page for more details.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Background Singapore shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, the Site. This includes damages for loss of profits, data, or travel expenses incurred while following our guides.
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Singapore. Any disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Singapore courts.
We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Continued use of the Site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
