3. Hosting
This website is served by an external hosting provider. The provider's name and address will be given here once the hosting arrangement is confirmed. The website itself loads no content, fonts or scripts from any other service, sets no cookies and uses no analytics, so visiting it does not share information about you with third parties.
4. Project status
Lysskjul Varanger Resort & Casino is a planned five-star hotel, casino and spa resort on the Varanger coast in Finnmark, Norway. It is in development. Nothing has been built, the exact site and the opening date are to be announced, and no bookings, reservations or payments of any kind are accepted. All images are artist's impressions, and all areas, capacities and other figures are planning figures that may change. The entertainment and gaming lounge is subject to licensing and may never open. The interest list is not a booking and creates no obligation; see the Terms and Conditions.
5. About the domain name
This website uses the domain name usefulphototips.com. The wording of the domain name does not describe what this website does. The website is not connected with teaching photography, with selling cameras or other photographic equipment, or with publishing advice or instructions of any kind. It is not a blog and does not give instructions on taking, editing or printing pictures. It does one thing only: it presents a planned resort and its interest list.
The darkroom and the hides at Lysskjul are part of the resort's character, as places to sit, watch and make prints for pleasure. They are not offered on this website, and no instruction, products or services connected with photography are sold here.
6. Wildlife statement
The hides at Lysskjul are planned on a principle of minimal impact. They are meant for quiet watching at a distance, not for getting closer. Animals will not be fed, baited, called or lured, no one will be taken closer to nests or breeding sites, and hides may be closed during sensitive periods or whenever their use could disturb wildlife. The placement of the hides, the boardwalks and the paths will be planned to keep disturbance as low as possible and to leave the shoreline open. Sightings of birds, mammals or the northern lights are never promised. Guests who use the hides will be asked to follow the resort's rules and the advice of its staff, and anyone who disturbs wildlife may be asked to leave the hide.
7. Responsible gaming
In Norway, casino games and gaming machines are offered only by Norsk Tipping, which holds the exclusive right, and betting on horse racing is run by Norsk Rikstoto. Land-based casinos are not currently licensed. The gaming side of the planned lounge at Lysskjul would open only if Norwegian law allows it and a licence is granted. This website offers no gambling, and nothing on it promises winnings, bonuses or offers.
If the lounge opens, it will be for adults aged 18 and over only. If gambling ever stops being entertainment for you or someone close to you, Hjelpelinjen offers free and confidential help in Norway: telephone 800 800 40 or hjelpelinjen.no.
8. Copyright and names
The texts, artist's impressions, the Lysskjul name and logo, and the design of this website are protected by copyright and may not be reused without permission, as set out in the Terms of Service. The fonts Archivo and Raleway are used under the SIL Open Font License. Other names mentioned on the website belong to their owners and are mentioned for information only, without any connection to Lysskjul.
9. External links
