Who you are dealing with
SlowTravelKorea sells written travel plans and is operated from Seoul, Republic of Korea. If anything on this page conflicts with Korean consumer law, the law wins and the rest of this page still stands.
What you are buying
You are buying a written itinerary. For each day you pay for, you get one page listing stops in the order you walk them, the train or bus between them, prices and opening hours as found at the time the plan was built, and notes on stairs, hills, and seating. The file is yours to keep, print, and carry.
You are not buying bookings, tickets, reservations, insurance, or a guide. Nothing in a plan is reserved in your name.
How plans are produced
Plans are produced by software that searches public sources for hours, fares, and routes, then arranges your days around the answers you gave in the order form. You should treat the detail in a plan the way you treat any written guide. Check the opening hours of anything you are traveling a long way to see, because venues close for holidays, repairs, and reasons nobody publishes.
What we can and cannot promise about accuracy
We build every plan from sources that were current when it was built, and we will rebuild a plan at no charge if something in it turns out to be wrong. We cannot promise that a third party will keep the hours it publishes, that a train will run on time, or that a street food stall will be where it was last month.
Price and payment
Twelve United States dollars per planned day. The smallest order is three days at thirty six dollars. From day ten the total stops at one hundred and twenty dollars, so longer trips do not keep adding up. You pay once, at checkout, and there is no renewal and nothing to cancel later.
Payment is handled by our checkout provider. We never see or store your full card number.
Delivery
Your plan arrives as a file at the email address you gave on the order form. If it has not reached you when you expected it, write to the address on the about page with your cities and dates and we will send it again.
Refunds and changes
The refund policy is a separate page and forms part of these terms. It covers orders cancelled before delivery, plans that are wrong, and changes to your travel dates.
What you may do with a plan
Print it, copy it, edit it, and share it with the people you are traveling with. What you may not do is resell it, publish it as your own work, or feed the whole set into a product that competes with this one.
Your information
We keep what you type into the order form, because that is what the plan is built from, and your email address, because that is where it is sent. We do not sell any of it and we do not use it to advertise to you. Ask us to delete your order and we will delete it, including the email address it was sent to.
If something goes wrong on your trip
A plan is a written suggestion, and you decide what to do on the day. We are responsible for giving you the plan you paid for, and our liability is limited to what you paid for that plan. We are not responsible for missed trains, closed venues, weather, injuries, or costs you take on while traveling.
Law and language
These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Korea. The English version on this page is the one we write first, and a Korean version is available on request.
Changes to these terms
When we change this page we change the date at the top of it. The version in force for your order is the one published on the day you ordered, so a later change cannot be applied backward to you.
