Terms & Disclaimer
Operator
School Holiday Map is operated by Christopher Pentland in a personal capacity.
Purpose of the service
School Holiday Map is a planning aid that summarises school-holiday information across selected European countries and regions. It is intended to help users explore possible travel periods and understand where confirmed school-holiday evidence is available.
Not an authoritative school notice
The website is not a school, education authority or government service. Holiday dates, school calendars and local arrangements can change. Users should confirm important dates with the relevant school, education authority or authoritative source before making decisions that depend on exact dates.
Meaning of map results
The public map distinguishes confirmed holiday evidence from unresolved or incomplete coverage. “All schools have confirmed holiday”, “Some schools have confirmed holiday” and “No confirmed holiday shown” are presentation states defined by the website’s data and evidence model. “No confirmed holiday shown” does not necessarily mean that every school is open; it can also reflect absence of confirmation or incomplete evidence as explained in the relevant detail view.
Availability and accuracy
We aim to maintain useful, quality-assured information, but we do not guarantee that the site will always be available, error-free, complete or current. The service may be changed, corrected, suspended or withdrawn without notice where necessary for maintenance, data corrections, security or product development.
Use of the website
You may use the website for ordinary personal and trip-planning purposes. You must not attempt to interfere with the service, bypass technical protections, overload the website, gain unauthorised access to systems or private data, or use automated access in a way that materially disrupts the service.
Data and intellectual property
The website combines information and geographic data from multiple sources. Source attribution is shown where applicable. Rights in third-party source data remain with the relevant rights holders. The website’s original presentation, software, compiled database structure and other original material are protected by applicable intellectual-property rights.
Automated and commercial reuse
The public website is designed for human use. Large-scale scraping, systematic extraction, redistribution or commercial reuse of compiled or derived website data is not granted by these terms. Future machine-access or licensing options may be offered separately.
Third-party links
The site may link to external sources for provenance or verification. We do not control those external sites and are not responsible for their availability, content or privacy practices.
Liability
To the extent permitted by law, School Holiday Map is provided as a planning aid without warranties that would make it suitable as the sole basis for time-sensitive, financial, travel, school-attendance or other consequential decisions. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.
Privacy
Use of personal data is described in the School Holiday Map Privacy Notice.
