What This License Covers
This license applies to the original elements of the SuperstitionsMap dataset that SuperstitionsMap is entitled to license, including its original compilation, organization, selection, presentation, dataset structure, and site-authored descriptions associated with the dataset.
The dataset documents counts and records derived from traceable academic, archival, museum, government, library, institutional, and scholarly sources. The methodology used to evaluate and present those records is described on the Data Methodology page.
Third-Party Sources and Materials
This license does not transfer ownership of, or grant additional rights in, third-party materials referenced by SuperstitionsMap. Source publications, archive records, photographs, illustrations, trademarks, museum materials, scholarly works, and other third-party content remain subject to the rights and terms of their respective owners or providers.
Where an individual source or item carries its own license, copyright notice, access condition, or reuse restriction, that source-specific condition takes precedence for that third-party material. Users who reproduce material from an original source are responsible for checking the source’s own reuse terms.

Nothing on this page is intended to claim exclusive rights over facts, traditional beliefs, folklore itself, public-domain material, or other information that is not protected by applicable law. The license applies only to rights that SuperstitionsMap is legally able to license.
No Warranty
The dataset is provided on an as-is and as-available basis. Although SuperstitionsMap emphasizes traceable sourcing and transparent methodology, no guarantee is made that every record, count, classification, citation, or source will remain complete, current, error-free, or suitable for a particular purpose.
