Terms of Service

About these terms

These Terms of Service govern use of the Fort Adams Trust website. By using this website, you agree to these terms to the extent permitted by applicable law. If you do not agree, please discontinue use. References to “we,” “us,” and “our” mean Fort Adams Trust.

Specific terms disclosed when you book a tour, register for an event, make a donation, or purchase a membership also apply to that transaction. If those terms conflict with these general website terms, the transaction-specific terms govern that transaction. Signed venue rental and other written agreements remain controlling for the services they cover.

Using our website

Use this website for lawful purposes and provide accurate information when contacting us or making a transaction. You must be authorized to use any payment method and to act for anyone on whose behalf you submit a booking or request. Transactions and inquiry forms are intended for adults or people acting with appropriate adult authorization.

Do not submit fraudulent requests, impersonate others, send spam or malicious code, attempt unauthorized access, or interfere with the website or its security. We may restrict access when reasonably necessary to address misuse, protect visitors, or maintain the service.

Visitor information, bookings, and events

We work to keep website information accurate, but hours, tour routes, availability, prices, and events may change. Check the selected booking or event listing for current details, including arrival instructions, accessibility information, taxes, and fees, before completing a purchase. Submitting an inquiry does not reserve a date, space, or service; a reservation requires confirmation.

Tour bookings are processed through FareHarbor. The cancellation, rescheduling, refund, and attendance terms disclosed for your booking apply. Other events may be managed by independent organizers with their own terms. Contact the provider identified in your confirmation for assistance, or contact us if you are unsure whom to reach.

Visitors must follow applicable park rules, posted safety instructions, and staff directions. These website terms do not replace any separately provided participation agreement or waive rights relating to an on-site visit.

Donations and memberships

Review the amount, membership benefits, billing frequency, and any renewal terms presented at checkout before submitting payment. A recurring donation or membership authorizes charges only as disclosed and agreed to at checkout. Use the management instructions in your confirmation or contact us for help changing or canceling future recurring payments.

For payment errors, refund requests, or questions about an existing gift or membership, contact us using the details below. Applicable transaction terms and legal rights govern those requests. Keep your receipt; tax treatment depends on your circumstances and any benefits received, and this website does not provide tax advice.

Website content and intellectual property

Unless otherwise identified, website text, photographs, graphics, logos, and other materials are owned by Fort Adams Trust or used with permission. You may view the site and print or download reasonable excerpts for personal, noncommercial use, keeping any attribution and copyright notices.

Other uses of protected materials require permission from the relevant rights holder unless allowed by law. These terms do not restrict fair use, use of public-domain materials, or other rights granted by law. Use of this website does not grant permission to use our name or logo in a way that suggests endorsement.

External services and links

Booking, payment, mapping, video, and other features may be supplied by third parties, including FareHarbor and HighLevel. Their applicable terms and privacy policies govern use of their services. We do not control independent websites or guarantee their content or availability, and a link does not by itself imply endorsement. This does not remove our responsibilities for services we provide.

Information you submit

You are responsible for ensuring that information or materials you send us are lawful and that you have permission to share them. You retain ownership of your materials and allow us to use them as reasonably needed to respond to your request or provide the service you requested. Do not send payment card details or sensitive personal information through general inquiry forms.

Website availability and disclaimers

To the extent permitted by law, this website is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of uninterrupted operation, accuracy, or fitness for a particular purpose. We may correct errors or change or suspend website features. This does not change obligations for confirmed purchases or other existing agreements.

Limits of liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Fort Adams Trust is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential losses arising from use of, or inability to use, this website. Nothing in these terms excludes liability for fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence, or any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. Your nonwaivable consumer rights and remedies remain unaffected.

Governing law and resolving concerns

These terms are governed by Rhode Island law and applicable United States federal law, without depriving you of mandatory protections available under applicable law. Please contact us with questions or concerns so we can try to resolve them. Contacting us is not a prerequisite to exercising your legal rights. If a provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue to apply to the extent permitted by law.

Changes to these terms

We may revise these terms as our website or services change. Updates will appear on this page with a revised date and apply prospectively. Changes do not retroactively alter a confirmed transaction or separate agreement. Where notice or consent is required by law, we will provide or obtain it.
