Legal information
Terms of Use
These terms govern access to and use of Local Business Search, including articles, buying guides, product recommendations, forms, and linked services.
Effective and last updated: October 12, 20261. Acceptance
By accessing or using this website, you agree to these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the website. Separate written agreements control paid client services when their terms conflict with these website terms.
2. Informational content—not professional advice
Articles, comparisons, buying guides, technology information, advertising observations, estimates, and recommendations are provided for general informational purposes. They are not legal, tax, financial, medical, cybersecurity, engineering, or other regulated professional advice. Verify important decisions with qualified professionals and current primary sources.
3. Product and affiliate information
Some links are affiliate or referral links, which may generate compensation at no additional cost to you. Availability, compatibility, specifications, prices, promotions, warranties, and merchant terms can change. We do not guarantee that a product is suitable for your exact system, vehicle, business, or use. Confirm current information with the manufacturer or merchant before purchasing. Product purchases, payment, shipping, returns, and warranties are transactions between you and the third-party seller.
4. Advertising and sponsored content
The site may display contextual, personalized, retargeted, social, search, display, video, native, email, or programmatic advertising. Paid, sponsored, affiliate, or referral relationships will be disclosed as required. An advertisement or link does not constitute a guarantee or endorsement of every claim made by the advertiser.
5. Permitted use
You may use the site for lawful personal or internal business purposes. You may not scrape at disruptive scale, bypass access controls, probe security without authorization, introduce malicious code, interfere with service, impersonate another person, submit unlawful or infringing content, misuse forms, or use our content or branding in a misleading way. Automated access must respect published technical controls and applicable law.
6. Intellectual property
The site design, original text, graphics, organization, software, and Local Business Search branding are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. Third-party names, marks, product images, and content belong to their respective owners. Limited linking and quotation are permitted where lawful and properly attributed; no broader license is granted without written permission.
7. User submissions
You retain ownership of content you submit. You grant us a nonexclusive license to host, process, reproduce, and use it as reasonably necessary to respond, operate the requested service, protect the site, and comply with law. Do not submit confidential, unlawful, infringing, or sensitive personal information unless a secure method and appropriate agreement have been established.
8. Third-party services
The site links to social networks, merchants, affiliate networks, advertising platforms, email services, and other third parties. We do not control their availability, security, content, or practices and are not responsible for them. Your use of a third party is governed by its terms.
9. Disclaimers
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the site and its content are provided “as is” and “as available.” We disclaim implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and noninfringement. We do not promise uninterrupted operation, complete accuracy, particular search rankings, advertising results, sales, leads, revenue, compatibility, or business outcomes.
10. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Local Business Search and its operators, contractors, and service providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, lost profits, lost data, lost opportunity, or business interruption arising from the website or third-party links. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the greater of amounts you paid specifically for use of the website during the prior twelve months or one hundred U.S. dollars. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations.
11. Indemnity and termination
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Local Business Search and its operators from claims arising from your unlawful use, violation of these terms, or infringement of another party’s rights. We may restrict or terminate access to protect the site, users, or legal interests.
12. Governing principles and changes
These terms are governed by applicable United States law and the law of the state in which the site operator is established, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any mandatory consumer rights remain unaffected. We may update these terms; continued use after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
