Terms of use

Version 1.0, in effect from November 4, 2026.

1. Who we are and what this covers

1.1 fromtheairport.xyz (with fromtheairport.ca, www.fromtheairport.xyz and icebergroute.com, which redirect to it) is published by From the Airport, a trade name of EventWeGo Inc. (“we”, “us”). Work is done from Lewisporte, Newfoundland and Labrador.

1.2 These terms cover the site, its guides, route and trail pages, the trip planner, the “proof” boards, the free embeddable maps at /embed/… when you view them, and anything we email in reply to you. Businesses that put our maps on their own sites do so as our partners page describes; people who send us photographs, tracks or corrections give the permission our contribute page asks for.

1.3 By using the site you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use it.

2. What the site is

2.1 The site is a planning reference. It publishes measured driving routes from airports, ferry terminals and towns in Newfoundland and Labrador, trail descriptions, a trip planner, guides to eating, staying, seasons, icebergs, small aerodromes and getting around, and a ledger of contributed proof that routes were travelled.

2.2 Every distance and coordinate is measured by software against open map data, with the source and check date printed on the page. Measured is not the same as current: see section 3.

2.3 The site is free. Nothing is sold on it, and it carries no advertising. Nobody can pay to be listed, ranked or recommended, and no page recommends one operator over another. Places to stay come from Best Kind Stays, and any print we link to is sold on Print the Place; both are run by the same people as this site, and the pages say so where they appear. Nothing on the site is sponsored today. If a photograph is ever commissioned, its page will say who paid and that they had no say in what the page says.

3. Information is for planning only — conditions change

3.1 Roads, trails, water, weather, ferries and runways change, sometimes within the hour. Our figures were true when checked and against the source named on the page. They do not update with traffic, weather, closures, construction, moose on the road, ice, tide, wind, daylight, or the season.

3.2 Distances are measured by road on open map data. The site does not give drive times: use a live navigation app for timing on the day, and every Directions button opens one.

3.3 Trails are described as recorded by contributors or measured from open data. Conditions, closures, permits, bear activity and avalanche risk are the land manager’s to publish (Parks Canada, the provincial parks service, a town, a trail council). Check them before you go.

3.4 Snowmobile, ATV and off-road routes. Where machines may legally run, and rules on helmets, registration and ages, are set by the province’s laws. Read those, not us.

3.5 Water, icebergs and wildlife. Cold water, moving ice, tides and animals are dangerous. Iceberg-odds pages are seasonal estimates from past data, not a forecast and not a promise. Keep the distances the authorities set from ice and wildlife.

3.6 Aerodromes and flying. Nothing on the site is aviation information. Whether a strip is open, its surface, fuel, lights and hazards are for the Canada Flight Supplement, NOTAMs and NAV CANADA to say. Do not read a runway length here as an open runway. Live weather strips on the site are not aviation weather.

3.7 Not for navigation. Nothing on the site is a navigational aid for road, marine or air use. Maps and lines are illustrative and may be offset from real features.

3.8 Third-party listings. Names, opening hours, phone numbers and locations of businesses come from open data (OpenStreetMap, Overture Maps, town directories) and are shown as recorded there. We do not verify each one. A listing is not a recommendation or an endorsement.

4. You are responsible for your own safety

4.1 You decide whether, when and how to travel. Use your own judgment, current official sources, appropriate equipment and, where it applies, a guide or a licence. If something on the site disagrees with a sign, an official notice, a park warden, a ferry operator or the conditions in front of you, believe them and not us.

4.2 If a page is wrong, tell us. Email hello@fromtheairport.xyz. We treat a correction as the most valuable thing a reader can send, and we review it within 10 business days and print the change and its date on the page.

5. No warranty and limits on our liability

5.1 Plain statement. The site is provided free, “as is” and “as available”. We do not promise that it is accurate, complete, current, uninterrupted or free of errors, and we do not promise that it will keep existing.

5.2 What we are not liable for. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable to you for any loss or damage that comes from relying on the site: a missed ferry or flight, a longer drive, a closed road or trail, fuel, accommodation, a rescue, injury, or damage to a vehicle or equipment — whether the claim is in contract, tort (including negligence), or otherwise.

5.3 What we do not exclude. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law, including:

(a) death or personal injury caused by our negligence, where the law does not allow that to be excluded;
(b) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation;
(c) any right you have under consumer protection law in the place you live that cannot be waived — including, in Ontario, the Consumer Protection Act; in Newfoundland and Labrador, the Consumer Protection and Business Practices Act; in Quebec, the Consumer Protection Act; in the UK, the Consumer Rights Act 2015; in the EU, the consumer rights directives as implemented where you live.

6. Links, embeds and outside services

6.1 The site links to other websites and apps (map apps, parks, road reports, ferry operators, weather, Wikimedia Commons, contributors’ own pages). We do not control them, do not endorse them and are not responsible for their content, availability or terms. A link opens when you tap it and from then on their terms apply.

6.2 Maps and live conditions on the site are drawn from outside services (OpenFreeMap, Amazon Web Services’ terrain tiles, Open-Meteo) that your browser contacts directly. If they are down, the map or the weather strip will be blank. See the Privacy Notice for what they receive.

6.3 We carry no affiliate links and no advertising (checked 2026-11-04). If that changes, the link will say so where it appears.

6.4 Other websites may embed our maps in a frame. The host site is responsible for its own page; our map inside it is governed by these terms.

7. What you may do with our content

7.2 You may read, print and keep pages for your own trip, save them offline with the site’s own offline button, share links, and quote short passages with a link back. You may not copy the site in bulk, scrape it, republish routes or guides as your own, remove credits, or use the “From the Airport” name in a way that implies we recommend you.

7.3 Contributed photographs carry their own credit and licence line under each image. Use them only on the terms that line states — some are Creative Commons and may be reused with credit; others are “used with permission — not for re-use” and may not be reused at all.

7.4 Open data. Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors, under the Open Database Licence. Places data includes Overture Maps Foundation data (overturemaps.org), most of it under the Community Data License Agreement – Permissive 2.0, the rest under Apache 2.0 (Foursquare) and CC0 (AllThePlaces). Wikimedia Commons images carry the licence stated in their credit.

7.5 Takedown. If you believe something on the site infringes your copyright, shows you or your property without permission, or is your personal information published without consent, email contribute@fromtheairport.xyz with the page link and what you object to. We remove or hide the item within 7 days while we look into it.

8. Acceptable use

8.1 Do not attempt to interfere with the site, overload it, probe it for vulnerabilities, or use automated tools to bulk-download it (apart from ordinary search-engine indexing and the offline function we provide). Do not send us anything unlawful, defamatory, or that you do not have the right to send.

9. Accessibility

9.1 We aim to meet WCAG 2.1 level AA. The site has not been audited against it yet. Maps are visual by nature; every route page also carries the distance and its stops in text. If something is hard to use, email hello@fromtheairport.xyz and we will find another way to give you the information.

10. Changes, and stopping

10.1 We may change the site, take pages down, or stop publishing at any time. We may change these terms; the version and effective date are at the top, earlier versions are kept and sent on request to hello@fromtheairport.xyz, and a change applies from its effective date to your use after that date.

11. Governing law and where disputes go

11.1 These terms are governed by the laws of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada that apply there, and the courts of Ontario have jurisdiction — except that if you are a consumer, nothing in this clause takes away protections you have under the law of the place you live or your right to bring a claim in your local courts where that law gives you one.

11.2 If any clause is found unenforceable, the rest stand.
