Terms and Conditions
Last updated October 30, 2026.
These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of https://ellijayapplefestival.org (the "Site"), operated by ellijayapplefestival.org ("we," "us" or "our"). By accessing or using the Site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.
An independent guide
The Site is an independent travel and information resource. It is not the official website of the Georgia Apple Festival and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or operated by the Georgia Apple Festival, the Ellijay Lions Club, the Gilmer County Chamber of Commerce or any orchard or business we mention. For official festival information, tickets and vendor applications, visit georgiaapplefestival.org.
Information is provided as is
We work to keep our guides accurate and list our sources, but dates, hours, prices, trail conditions and business details change, sometimes without notice. Projected dates, such as expected festival dates that organizers have not yet announced, are labeled as estimates. All content is provided for general information only, "as is" and without warranties of any kind. Confirm details with the organizer, business or land manager before you travel.
Outdoor activities
Hiking, paddling, biking, swimming and other outdoor activities carry real risks. Our descriptions of trails, rivers, distances and difficulty are general guidance, not safety advice. You are responsible for your own safety: check current conditions and closures, follow posted rules and park regulations, and do not attempt anything beyond your experience and fitness.

You agree not to use the Site in any way that is unlawful, that could damage, disable or impair the Site, or that interferes with anyone else's use of it, including automated scraping that places an unreasonable load on our servers.
Advertising and links to other websites
The Site displays ads served by Google AdSense and its partners, and our articles link to websites we do not own or control. We are not responsible for the content, products, services or privacy practices of any third-party site or advertiser. Ads do not mean we endorse a product or service.
