Terms of Use

By using this site, you agree to the following terms.

Independent, informational content

Visit Kern is an independent, editorially-run travel guide to Kern County, California. It is not affiliated with Kern County government, the former Kern County Board of Trade, or any other government or quasi-governmental tourism authority. Content is provided for general informational purposes only.

Accuracy

We make a genuine effort to keep listings — hours, addresses, and whether a business is still operating — accurate and current, but details change. Confirm anything time-sensitive (business hours, event dates, road conditions, park fees) directly with the relevant business or agency before relying on it.

No warranty

This site is provided "as is," without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We're not responsible for losses, injuries, or damages arising from your use of this site or reliance on its content, including outdoor recreation activities described here (rafting, hiking, off-roading, camping, and similar activities carry real, inherent risk regardless of what any guide says).

Third-party links

This site links to external sites (Caltrans, county agencies, individual businesses, and similar) that we don't control and aren't responsible for. Linking to a site doesn't imply an endorsement.

Changes

These terms may be updated as the site changes. Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised terms.
