Terms of use

Last updated November 1, 2026.

Blue Water Lights is a free map of holiday light displays in the Blue Water area, run by BWstack LLC (“we”). By using the site you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use it.

Visiting displays

• Displays are on private property. Stay on the street or public sidewalk unless the display says it's a walk-through.
• Be kind to neighbors. Keep noise down, don't block driveways, and follow posted hours.
• Don't use the app while driving. Plan your route first, or have a passenger hold the phone.
• “Lit tonight” comes from the homeowner's schedule. We can't promise any display is on.

Listing your home

• You must be 18 or older, and it must be your home or you must have the owner's permission.
• Photos show the display only. No people, faces, license plates, or house numbers you don't want shared.
• No links, phone numbers, emails, ads, or anything unkind in your listing.
• We review photos before they show. We can hide or remove any listing at any time, for any reason.
• You can hide or remove your listing anytime. You give us permission to show what you submit on the map.

Sponsored pins for businesses

• Sponsored pins are paid ads for holiday offerings. They are marked “Sponsored” on the map. Current prices: Season pin $49, Weekends pin $29, Event pin $15, Deal $10. After Dec 15, the Season pin becomes a Rest of season pin for $25, and the Weekends pin becomes Rest of season weekends for $15.
• Ads must be holiday-related, truthful, legal, and family-friendly. No alcohol, tobacco, vaping, cannabis, gambling, weapons, adult, or political ads.
• When you submit, your card is authorized but not charged. We review every ad, usually within 2 days. If we approve it, we charge the full price and post it. If we deny it, we charge a $5 service charge and release the rest.
• If we don't review your ad within 6 days, we release the whole hold.
• Approved ads run for the dates you bought. If we remove an approved ad for breaking these terms, there is no refund.
• You are responsible for your business, your offer, and anything that happens at your location.

Fair use

Don't misuse the site. That includes false listings, harassment, scraping, trying to break in, or anything that puts families at risk. We may block accounts that do.

No warranty

The site is provided as is. To the extent the law allows, BWstack LLC isn't liable for damages from using the site or visiting a display or business on it. Our total liability for a paid ad is limited to what you paid for it.

Changes and law

We may update these terms and will change the date above when we do. Michigan law governs these terms. Disputes go to the courts of St. Clair County, Michigan.
