Terms of use

Using Vilayat

Vilayat is a free student project that helps you narrow down where to look for a home. By using it you accept the points below.

Information, not advice

Nothing on Vilayat is legal, immigration, tax or financial advice. Visa and residence rules, fees and deadlines change, and your own situation may differ from the general case. Check anything you rely on with the official body named in the source, your university's international office or a qualified adviser.

No guarantee of accuracy

The rankings, travel times and answers are worked out from the data listed on Data and sources. That data can be incomplete or out of date, and figures marked with an asterisk are placeholders. Travel times are typical values from the published timetable, not a promise of how long a particular journey will take. Vilayat is provided as it is, without any warranty, and the people who made it are not liable for decisions taken on the basis of it, as far as the law allows.

Answers written by a language model

Some text is written by a language model and checked automatically before it is shown (see How we use AI). The checks reduce mistakes but cannot rule them out. The linked source is what counts.

Links to other sites

Vilayat links to listing portals, public authorities and other sites it does not control. It is not responsible for their content, their listings or their terms, and links are not an endorsement. Never pay a deposit or rent for a flat you have not seen or a landlord you cannot verify.

Fair use

Please do not send automated requests in bulk or try to get around the request limits. They keep the free service available for everyone.

Content and licences

The underlying datasets and photographs belong to their publishers and are used under the licences named on Data and sources. If you reuse them, those licences apply to you too.

Changes

These terms may be updated as the project develops; the date below shows the latest version.
