The rules that apply when you use the Northern Lights Cabin website.
Last updated: 3 May 2026
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the website at northernlightscabin.is (the "Site"), operated by 1707 ehf trading as Northern Lights Cabin ("we", "us", "our"). By using the Site you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.
1. About Us
- Company: 1707 ehf
- Address: Lautarbrekka 7, 805 Grímsnes, Iceland
- Email: 1707ehf@gmail.com
2. Use of the Site
You may use the Site for personal, non-commercial purposes — to learn about our cabin, view photos, read about nearby attractions, contact us, and book a stay. You agree not to:
- Use the Site in any way that violates applicable law;
- Attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the Site, our servers, or systems connected to the Site;
- Interfere with the operation of the Site, including by introducing malware, scraping content at scale, or overloading our infrastructure;
- Copy, reproduce, or republish substantial portions of the Site's content without our written permission, except as permitted by law (e.g. fair use / fair dealing).
3. Content and Intellectual Property
All text, photographs, graphics, layout, and other content on the Site are owned by 1707 ehf or used with permission, and are protected by Icelandic and international copyright and trademark laws. Photographs of the cabin and the surrounding landscape were taken by us and may not be reused commercially without written consent.
You may share links to our pages and quote short excerpts with attribution. For any other use of our content, please contact us at 1707ehf@gmail.com.
4. Bookings
Bookings for stays at Northern Lights Cabin are made through third-party platforms — currently Airbnb and Vrbo. The terms of those platforms (including pricing, payment, cancellation, and dispute resolution) apply to your booking. The Site itself does not process payments or form a contract for accommodation.
If you contact us directly via the contact form to enquire about a stay, any resulting booking will still be confirmed and processed through one of the above platforms unless we agree otherwise in writing.
5. House Rules
Guests staying at the cabin agree to follow the house rules listed on the booking platform. These cover things like maximum occupancy, quiet hours, pet policy, smoking, hot tub use, and care of the property. Failure to follow the house rules may result in additional charges or termination of the stay in line with the booking platform's terms.
6. Information Accuracy
We try to keep the Site accurate and up to date, including information about the cabin, amenities, and nearby attractions. However:
- Travel times, distances, opening hours, admission fees, and road conditions in Iceland change with the seasons and weather. Always check current conditions on road.is, vedur.is, and safetravel.is before setting out.
- Photographs are representative; the cabin and landscape change with the seasons.
- We reserve the right to change information on the Site at any time without notice.
7. Third-Party Links
The Site contains links to third-party sites (booking platforms, attractions, social media, mapping services). We do not control these sites and are not responsible for their content, accuracy, or privacy practices.
8. Advertising
The Site displays advertising through Google AdSense. We do not control or endorse the specific ads shown. Any interaction you have with advertisers is between you and the advertiser. See our Privacy Policy for details on how advertising cookies work.
9. Disclaimer of Warranties
The Site is provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent permitted by Icelandic law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses or other harmful components.
10. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, 1707 ehf will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising out of or related to your use of the Site, including but not limited to lost profits, lost data, or travel costs. Nothing in these Terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud, or for any other liability that cannot be excluded under Icelandic law.
