1. Acceptance of Terms
These Terms & Conditions govern your use of ShanghaiTunnelBar.com and all pages, features, articles, stories, newsletters, images and other content published through the website.
By visiting, browsing, clicking through, reading, subscribing or otherwise using the website, you agree to be bound by these terms and by our Privacy Policy.
2. Independent Website
ShanghaiTunnelBar.com is an independent editorial, history, culture, entertainment and nightlife website. It is not owned by, operated by, sponsored by, endorsed by, or formally associated with any particular bar, nightclub, restaurant, venue, tour company or hospitality business in Portland.
References to real businesses, neighborhoods, historical locations or venues are editorial references only unless the website clearly states otherwise.
3. Fiction, Folklore & Supernatural Content
Stories presented on this website as ghost stories, supernatural accounts, legends, folklore, dramatizations, atmospheric narratives or creative storytelling are works of fiction, folklore, dramatization or entertainment.
ShanghaiTunnelBar.com does not claim that ghosts, hauntings, paranormal activity, supernatural beings, curses, psychic phenomena or other supernatural events are real.
Historical or editorial articles may discuss documented events, public records, historical claims, legends and local folklore. When factual history and folklore appear together, the presence of folklore does not convert a legend into a verified historical fact.
4. Editorial & Historical Information
We make reasonable efforts to present historical and editorial material accurately, but the website may contain incomplete information, disputed historical claims, evolving research, errors or differing interpretations.
Content is provided for general informational and entertainment purposes and should not be treated as professional, legal, historical-certification, scientific or other expert advice.
5. Nightlife & Event Content
Nightlife pages may include editorial concepts, future event ideas, community features, event announcements, venue references and other nightlife-related material.
Unless an event is clearly identified as confirmed, do not assume that a depicted or described event, venue, date, private location or experience is presently scheduled or available.
The phrase “the underground” is used as an editorial and cultural concept referring to Portland nightlife, below-street-level spaces, Old Town history, underground culture and Shanghai Tunnel lore. It is not a claim that every location mentioned is physically connected by tunnels.
6. Permitted Use
You may use the website for lawful personal and informational purposes. You agree not to:
- Attempt to interfere with, damage or disable the website or its infrastructure.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the website and its content are provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, express or implied.
