Terms of use

These terms explain how you may use Cities of Europe and where the site's responsibility ends.

Using the site

You may browse Cities of Europe, link to its pages, and quote short passages under applicable law. You may use automated tools at a rate that does not disrupt the service. Do not bypass access controls, send abusive traffic, or scrape page HTML at high volume when a published download meets the same need.

Using the data

Cities of Europe combines material from several public authorities. Each underlying dataset keeps its own licence, attribution requirements, and conditions. Review the licence listed for the relevant dataset on the sources page before copying, redistributing, or building on it.

These terms do not grant rights that belong to Eurostat, the European Commission, the European Environment Agency, Copernicus, or another source. Where Cities of Europe adds original text, design, or code, normal copyright law applies unless a separate licence says otherwise.

Names and branding

Do not republish the site as your own or use the Cities of Europe name, logo, or visual identity in a way that suggests endorsement, partnership, or official status. You may identify and link to Cities of Europe when citing a page.

No warranty

The site and its data are provided as is, without warranties of accuracy, completeness, availability, or fitness for a particular purpose. Official datasets can contain errors, revisions, estimates, and gaps. The processing code can also contain defects.

Cross-check any figure with the named source before using it for health, safety, legal, financial, emergency, policy, or other high-stakes decisions. Report suspected defects through the corrections page.

Liability

To the extent permitted by law, the operator is not liable for loss arising from use of the site, inability to use it, or reliance on its content. Nothing in these terms excludes a right or liability that applicable law does not allow us to exclude.

Law and changes

United States law applies to these terms. The operator may update them when the site or its services change. The date below identifies the current version.

Questions about these terms must go through the contact form. No public email address is provided.
