Content & IP Rights · Restriction or exception
Travel Channel content may belong to others and may not be copied or used for commercial or public purposes
Software, data and other information found on or provided with a Travel Channel may be the copyrighted property of Service Providers and other third parties. The Terms prohibit you from modifying, copying, distributing, transmitting, displaying, publishing, selling, licensing, creating derivative works, or using any content available on or through a Travel Channel “for commercial or public purposes”. The sentence can be read two ways: that “for commercial or public purposes” limits every listed action, or only the last one (using). The text does not say which, so the reach of the ban on ordinary personal copying or displaying is unclear.
