Terms of Use

Terms for independent border wait information, alerts, wait cards, and sponsored placements.

Independent service

USBorderWait.com, TiemposDeGarita.com, and Border Times are independent information services. They are not affiliated with CBP, CBSA, any port authority, or any government agency unless expressly stated.

Informational only

Waits, maps, weather, traffic, forecasts, history, alerts, guides, sponsors, and local recommendations are informational only. Conditions, lanes, documents, fees, rules, road closures, and border operations can change without notice.

Traveler responsibility

You are responsible for verifying official requirements, documents, visas, permits, vehicle insurance, customs rules, lane eligibility, road safety, and legal obligations before travel.

No professional advice

Content is not legal, immigration, customs, tax, insurance, medical, financial, security, or emergency advice. Do not rely on the site as a substitute for official instructions or professional guidance.

No emergency use

The service is not designed for emergencies, law enforcement, rescue, medical decisions, urgent border decisions, or safety-critical routing. Call proper authorities in emergency situations.

Accuracy limits

We work to show useful information, but data may be delayed, incomplete, estimated, wrong, unavailable, duplicated, translated imperfectly, or affected by provider, network, weather, traffic, model, or source errors.

Historical charts

History charts show available records and aggregations for planning. Coverage varies by crossing, lane, and period. Old data may reflect different collection methods and should not guarantee future waits.

Alerts

Alerts are best-effort notices. Delivery may fail, arrive late, repeat, or be blocked by providers, carriers, browsers, devices, or spam filters. You remain responsible for checking current conditions.

Wait cards and APIs

Wait cards and public APIs may be used for traveler help and local sites if attribution remains visible, update time is not misrepresented, traffic is reasonable, and no government endorsement is implied.

Prohibited use

Do not scrape abusively, bypass rate limits, attack credentials, probe private areas, exploit vulnerabilities, spam forms, interfere with service, copy the full site, hide attribution, or use data for unlawful, deceptive, discriminatory, or safety-critical purposes.

Sponsored placements

Paid placements are labeled and subject to approval, moderation, billing, availability, category fit, local relevance, and quality review. We may reject, edit, pause, or remove placements that are misleading, unsafe, illegal, offensive, infringing, low quality, or poor fit.

Advertiser responsibility

Advertisers are responsible for their claims, prices, licenses, insurance, services, offers, coupons, destinations, compliance, tax obligations, and customer relationships. Sponsored placement does not mean endorsement.

Billing

Packages, pricing, placement positions, regions, and availability may change. Payment processors handle transactions. Refunds, credits, cancellations, and disputes depend on the active package terms and operational review.

Accounts

Private admin and business areas require authorized access. Account holders must keep credentials secure, use accurate information, and promptly report suspected compromise.

Intellectual property

Site design, copy, marks, code, charts, guides, wait card presentation, and compiled content belong to their owners. Limited linking, short snippets, and embedded wait cards are allowed only under posted policies.

Third-party services

The site may link to sponsors, maps, payment providers, messaging providers, data sources, and local businesses. We are not responsible for third-party websites, services, availability, pricing, conduct, or content.

Changes and availability

We may change, pause, remove, or discontinue features, data feeds, routes, packages, pricing, policies, languages, or domains. Service may be unavailable during maintenance, outages, abuse response, or provider failures.

Liability limits

To the maximum extent allowed by law, the service is provided as is and as available, without warranties. We are not liable for travel delays, missed crossings, business losses, data errors, alert failures, third-party conduct, or indirect damages.

Indemnity

If you misuse the service, violate these terms, submit unlawful content, infringe rights, or create claims through advertiser or business activity, you agree to cover resulting claims, losses, costs, and reasonable legal fees where allowed by law.
