Using Detour
Detour (“we,” “us”) runs detour.quest, a free service for discovering websites. By using the site, you agree to these Terms of Use and to our Privacy Policy. If you don’t agree, please don’t use Detour.
You must be at least 13 years old to create an account. If you’re under 18, you should have permission from a parent or guardian.
Your account
You’re responsible for activity on your account and for keeping access to your email secure, since sign-in links are sent there. Tell us right away at info@detour.quest if you think someone else has accessed your account. You can ask us to delete your account at any time.
Submitting websites
When you submit a site, you confirm that the information you provide is accurate and that the site is something others can safely visit. You may not submit sites that:
- Contain malware, phishing, scams, or deceptive downloads
- Include sexual content, graphic violence, or content that harasses or promotes hate against people
- Promote illegal activity or infringe someone else’s rights
- Are spam, link farms, or pages created mainly to sell or advertise without adding real value
We review every submission and may approve, reject, edit, or later remove any site for any reason, without notice. By submitting a site, you give us permission to display its name, address, your description, and related details on Detour and in materials promoting Detour.
Comments
Comments are for friendly, on-topic discussion about the websites on Detour. Your display name and comments are public. Please don’t post:
- Profanity, sexual content, or slurs
- Harassment, threats, or personal attacks
- Links, advertising, or spam
- Other people’s personal information
Detour automatically blocks comments with profanity or links, and comments reported by several people are hidden for review. We may remove any comment or display name, and suspend accounts that break these rules. You’re responsible for what you post, and by posting you give us permission to display it on Detour.
Acceptable use
Please don’t misuse Detour. That includes trying to break or overload the site, scraping it in bulk, manipulating votes with multiple or automated accounts, or accessing data that isn’t yours. We may suspend or delete accounts that break these terms.
Other websites
Detour links to websites run by other people. We don’t control those sites and aren’t responsible for their content, availability, accuracy, or privacy practices. A site appearing on Detour isn’t an endorsement of everything on it. Visit them at your own discretion.
Sponsored listings and ads
Some website-of-the-day spots are paid for by the site’s owner. Paid placements are always labeled as sponsored. Detour may also show ads from third parties; we aren’t responsible for the products or services they advertise.
Our content
Detour’s design, writing, and code belong to us. The websites we link to, and their names and content, belong to their owners.
No warranties
Detour is provided “as is” and “as available.” We do our best to keep it running and the links working, but we don’t promise that the site will always be available, error-free, or that any linked site will be accurate or safe.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent allowed by law, Detour and the people who run it won’t be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, or for any loss arising from your use of Detour or any website you reach through it. Where liability can’t be excluded, it’s limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the previous 12 months or $50.
Changes and ending service
We may update these terms from time to time; the date at the top of this page shows the latest version, and continuing to use Detour means you accept the changes. We may also change, pause, or stop offering Detour at any time.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Connecticut, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules.
