Terms of Use

The rules for using etiasapply.eu.com. Please read them — by accessing the Site you accept them. These Terms clarify what this Site is (an information resource) and what it is not (a government portal or application service).

EffectiveApril 20, 2026 Last updatedApril 20, 2026 Version1.0
Important — please read

etiasapply.eu.com is an independent, information-only website. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the European Commission, eu-LISA, the European Union, or any government authority. We do not process ETIAS applications. We do not charge a government fee. The only official ETIAS application channel will be travel-europe.europa.eu once it opens.

§ 01Acceptance of Terms

These Terms of Use ("Terms") form a legal agreement between you ("you" or "user") and [COMPANY NAME] ("we," "us," or "our"), operator of etiasapply.eu.com (the "Site"). By accessing, browsing, or using the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms, our Privacy Policy, and our Cookie Policy. If you do not agree, you must stop using the Site.

§ 02Nature of the Site

The Site provides general information about the European Travel Information and Authorization System (ETIAS), the Entry/Exit System (EES), Schengen visa rules, and related travel topics. Content is researched from publicly available sources and presented for educational purposes. Content may become out of date, incomplete, or inaccurate despite our reasonable efforts.

§ 03No legal, immigration, or travel advice

Nothing on the Site constitutes legal advice, immigration advice, visa advice, or any other form of professional advice. We are not immigration lawyers, consultants, or government agents. Your circumstances are unique; always consult official sources (the European Commission, eu-LISA, your national immigration authority, your embassy, or a licensed legal professional) before making travel or visa decisions.

§ 04License & permitted use

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and view the Site for your personal, non-commercial use. You may print or download reasonable portions for personal reference, provided you do not remove copyright or attribution notices.

§ 05Prohibited conduct

You agree not to:

  • Use the Site for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any law or regulation;
  • Represent the Site as an official government service or ETIAS application portal;
  • Impersonate the Site, [COMPANY NAME], or any other person;
  • Resell, republish, scrape, or systematically extract content for commercial purposes without written permission;
  • Introduce viruses, malware, or other harmful code;
  • Interfere with or disrupt the Site, its servers, or networks;
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Site or its underlying systems;
  • Use the Site to defraud, harass, or mislead others.

§ 06Calculators & interactive tools

The Site offers calculators and planners (for example, the 90/180 Schengen calculator, the eligibility checker, and the trip planner). These tools are provided for informational purposes only and produce estimates based on user-entered data. Results are not a legal determination of admissibility or stay entitlement. Always verify your status with the relevant national authority or the European Commission before traveling.

§ 07Intellectual property

All Site content — text, graphics, logos, icons, layouts, code, and compilations — is owned by [COMPANY NAME] or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. "ETIAS Guide" is used as an editorial name. The term "ETIAS" itself refers to a system operated by EU institutions; use of that term is descriptive and does not imply affiliation.

§ 08Third-party links

The Site may link to third-party websites, including official EU and government pages. We do not control these sites and are not responsible for their content, privacy practices, or accuracy. Links are provided for convenience and do not imply endorsement.

§ 09Disclaimer of warranties

The Site and its content are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, and reliability. We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free, or that any defect will be corrected.

§ 10Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, in no event shall [COMPANY NAME], its affiliates, officers, employees, or agents be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages — including lost profits, lost data, travel disruption, denied boarding, or denied entry — arising out of or relating to your use of, or inability to use, the Site, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability for death, personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot be lawfully excluded.

§ 11Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold [COMPANY NAME] and its representatives harmless from any claim, loss, damage, liability, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your breach of these Terms, your misuse of the Site, or your violation of any law or third-party right.

§ 12Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Site at any time, with or without notice, for conduct that we believe violates these Terms or is harmful to the Site or its users. All provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination shall survive.

§ 13Governing law & jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws applicable to the jurisdiction of [COMPANY NAME]'s principal place of business, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Site shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts of that jurisdiction, unless mandatory consumer-protection laws in your country of residence provide otherwise.

§ 14Changes to these Terms

We may revise these Terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the Site after a change constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
