Last updated: 2026-05-15

Acceptance of terms

By accessing or using BirdersUnite, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use the site. We may update these terms from time to time; continued use after an update means you accept the revised terms.

What we provide

BirdersUnite offers informational birding content, guidebooks, and browser-based tools for personal, non-commercial use. Content is provided “as is” for general information only. It is not professional, legal, medical, safety, wildlife-management, or environmental advice.

Public observation data used by BirdersUnite tools may be incomplete, delayed, approximate, or affected by privacy rules and observer bias. Treat field-planning tools as practical estimates, not guarantees that a bird is present or absent.

Responsible use

You agree to use BirdersUnite in a lawful and respectful way. Do not use the site to harass people, disrupt wildlife, trespass, crowd nests, reveal sensitive locations, scrape at a harmful scale, attack the service, or misrepresent your affiliation with BirdersUnite.

Birding content on this site should be used with care for birds, habitats, private property, and local rules.

Intellectual property

Unless otherwise noted, site content, design, and branding are owned by TensorSpace, Inc. or its licensors. You may link to our pages and share short excerpts with credit, but you may not copy, republish, or commercialize the content without permission.

Third-party data, images, trademarks, and linked resources remain the property of their respective owners.

We may link to third-party sites and use public third-party data sources for convenience and field planning. We do not control or endorse those sites and are not responsible for their content, availability, data quality, or privacy practices.

Affiliate disclosure

Some pages may include affiliate links, including Amazon Associates links. If you click one of those links and make a qualifying purchase, TensorSpace, Inc. may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. That compensation helps support the site, but it does not change our editorial goal of publishing useful, independent guidance.

Advertising

BirdersUnite may display advertising, including Google AdSense. Advertising helps support the site. Our Privacy Policy explains how advertising partners may use cookies or similar identifiers.

Disclaimers and limits of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, BirdersUnite disclaims all warranties, express or implied, and is not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising from your use of the site. If liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

Indemnity

You agree to indemnify TensorSpace, Inc. against claims arising from your misuse of the site or violation of these terms.

Privacy

Your use of the site is also governed by our Privacy Policy , which explains how we handle personal data, cookies, advertising, and affiliate links.

Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws applicable where TensorSpace, Inc. is established. If mandatory consumer protection or data protection laws in your country grant you additional rights, those rights remain in force. We prefer to resolve disputes informally, so please contact us first.
