Terms of Use

Heritage Watch is a community advocacy platform dedicated to tracking, documenting, and protecting the heritage of Langley's neighbourhoods. The site provides information about heritage buildings, municipal decisions, active alerts, and community resources. Heritage Watch is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or an official publication of the Township of Langley, the City of Langley, or any government body.

Heritage Watch makes every reasonable effort to ensure that the information published on this site is accurate and up to date. However, information about municipal decisions, heritage designations, permit applications, and council proceedings changes frequently. You should always verify critical information directly with the relevant municipal authority before taking action.

Heritage Watch is not responsible for any errors, omissions, or outdated information on this site, nor for any actions taken in reliance on such information.

Users may submit stories, photographs, comments, and other content to Heritage Watch. By submitting content, you represent that:

• You own or have the right to share the content
• The content does not infringe any third-party intellectual property rights
• The content is accurate to the best of your knowledge
• The content does not contain defamatory, harassing, or unlawful material

By submitting content, you grant Heritage Watch a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to publish, display, and distribute that content on this site for the purpose of community heritage advocacy. You retain ownership of your content.

Heritage Watch reserves the right to edit, remove, or decline to publish any submitted content at its sole discretion.

Petition signatures collected on Heritage Watch are community advocacy tools. By signing a petition, you confirm that the information you provide is accurate and that you consent to your name and neighbourhood being displayed publicly as part of the petition record. Email addresses are stored only as one-way cryptographic hashes and are never displayed publicly.

Heritage Watch petitions are not official government submissions. To formally submit comments to a municipal authority, you must contact that authority directly through its official channels.

This site contains links to external websites, including municipal portals, government databases, and heritage organisations. These links are provided for convenience only. Heritage Watch does not endorse, control, or take responsibility for the content of external sites. Links to the Township of Langley Development Portal or other government resources are provided to help residents access public information; Heritage Watch is not affiliated with those services.

The Heritage Watch name, logo, and original written content are the property of Heritage Watch and may not be reproduced without permission. Historical information, public records, and government documents referenced on this site remain the property of their respective owners and are used under fair dealing provisions for the purpose of public interest commentary and advocacy.

Photographs and images contributed by community members remain the property of their respective creators.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Heritage Watch and its contributors shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of this site or reliance on any information published here. This includes, without limitation, any loss arising from errors in heritage designation information, municipal decision summaries, or permit status data.

Heritage Watch Ambassadors are volunteer community members who assist with fact-checking and keeping community pages accurate. Ambassador participation is entirely voluntary and unpaid. Ambassadors do not represent Heritage Watch in any official capacity and are not authorised to make commitments on behalf of the organisation. Heritage Watch reserves the right to remove Ambassador status at any time.

Heritage Watch may update these Terms of Use from time to time. Continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. We will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page when changes are made.
