Terms of Service
Last updated: 26 July 2026
These Terms apply to the current version of the CitiGrow website and its digital products.
ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the CitiGrow website and digital products operated by CitiGrow Ltd ("CitiGrow", "we", "us", or "our").
By accessing our website or purchasing any digital product, you agree to be bound by these Terms.
If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use our website or purchase our products.
WHAT WE OFFER
CitiGrow currently provides digital cultural reading products through this website.
Current products include, but are not limited to:
- The Shanghai Archive — a one-time digital purchase that unlocks Full Access to the Archive for all published Shanghai routes beyond the free preview stops.
- Deeper Shanghai — a one-time digital purchase that unlocks our premium Deeper Shanghai media library beyond the free preview content.
Other products or services referenced in previous materials, archived pages or promotional content are not part of the current public offering unless we expressly make them available again.
DIGITAL CONTENT, DELIVERY AND LICENCE
Following successful payment, your digital access will normally be activated immediately, subject to payment confirmation.
No physical goods are supplied.
Your purchase grants you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable licence to access the unlocked content through the CitiGrow platform for your own personal, non-commercial use.
Access continues while the service remains available, unless terminated because:
- you breach these Terms;
- we are required to do so by law; or
- circumstances beyond our reasonable control prevent us from continuing the service.
Your purchase does not transfer ownership of any intellectual property rights.
You may not:
- copy, reproduce or distribute our content;
- scrape or systematically extract content;
- record, republish or publicly display our materials;
- resell or commercially exploit any part of our products;
- use bots, AI systems or automated software to reproduce substantial portions of our content.
We may verify purchases using payment records and associated email addresses (including through Stripe where applicable). Sharing purchase access or attempting to allow others to use your purchased access without authorisation is prohibited.
PAYMENT AND PRICING
Payments are securely processed by Stripe.
We do not store full payment card details on our own servers.
Purchases may be completed using guest checkout with an email address. Creating a password-protected account is not currently required, although optional account features may be introduced in the future.
Prices are displayed in GBP.
Where applicable, UK VAT will be shown during checkout before payment is completed.
No shipping charges apply to digital products.
REFUNDS
Refunds for digital products are governed by our Refund Policy, which forms part of these Terms.
Please read our Refund Policy before making a purchase.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
All route archives, written content, photographs, illustrations, maps, films, branding, logos and other materials available on this website are owned by CitiGrow Ltd or are used under appropriate licence.
Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of any intellectual property rights to you.
Your purchase grants access only under the licence described above.
ACCEPTABLE USE
You agree not to:
- misuse or interfere with the operation of this website;
- attempt to bypass payment systems or access restrictions;
- compromise the security of the platform;
- use the website for unlawful purposes;
- use automated tools to extract substantial amounts of content.
Where we reasonably believe these Terms have been breached, we may suspend or terminate access to our services without affecting any other legal rights available to us.

Our products are not:
- navigation services;
- travel safety advice;

- professional architectural advice;
- guarantees regarding access to locations, opening hours or site conditions.
Cities change over time.
Buildings, public spaces, businesses, exhibitions, monuments and surrounding environments may change after publication.
While we make reasonable efforts to keep our content accurate and thoughtfully researched, we cannot guarantee that every detail will remain current at all times.
You remain responsible for your own safety and travel decisions when visiting any location described in our products.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes any liability that cannot legally be limited or excluded under the laws of England and Wales.
Subject to that, CitiGrow shall not be liable for indirect or consequential loss arising from the use of our digital products.
