Terms of Use

Please read these terms carefully before using LocalBizUS.com.

1) Overview

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of LocalBizUS.com (“LocalBizUS,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) and related services including submitting, claiming, and managing business listings, reviews, and memberships (collectively, the “Services”). By accessing or using the Services, you agree to these Terms.

2) Eligibility & Accounts

  • You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract.
  • You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity under your account.
  • Provide accurate, current information and promptly update it as needed.
  • U.S. businesses only. LocalBizUS accepts listings only for businesses with a valid United States business address. Submissions that do not meet this eligibility requirement may be rejected at submission or removed after the fact, at our discretion and without notice.
  • Ongoing accuracy. After a listing is approved and published, the business owner or listing contact is responsible for logging in to review and maintain the accuracy of their listing information, including business details, contact information, and images. LocalBizUS is not responsible for incorrect or outdated information published in a listing.

3) Listings, Reviews & User Content

  • You retain ownership of content you submit (e.g., listings, text, images) but grant LocalBizUS a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, display, reproduce, and distribute it for operating and promoting the Services.
  • You represent you have all rights necessary to submit the content and that it does not infringe others’ rights or applicable laws.
  • We may moderate or remove content at our discretion (e.g., spam, illegal, offensive, misleading, or policy-violating content).
  • Public content (e.g., approved listings, reviews, business info) may be visible on the site and in search results.

4) Listings Submitted by Agencies & Third Parties

  • Authorization. You may submit a listing for your own business, or for another business only if you are authorized to act on that business’s behalf (for example, as an SEO provider, marketing agency, or consultant). Any agency, marketer, contractor, or other third party that submits or manages a listing represents and warrants that it has the business’s permission to create and maintain the listing, and that the business has agreed to be bound by these Terms of Use.
  • Responsibility for content. The business and/or its authorized agent (including any SEO or marketing agency) is solely responsible for the accuracy, legality, and truthfulness of all listing content, claims, images, links, contact details, and related materials. LocalBizUS does not guarantee or endorse any listing and is not responsible for errors or omissions in listings.
  • Platform only; not your agent. LocalBizUS acts only as a directory and marketing platform. We are not an agent, partner, or representative of any business or agency that uses the platform, and we are not a party to any contract or transaction between businesses, agencies, and customers.
  • Contacting listed businesses. LocalBizUS may contact a listed business directly for verification, support, compliance, dispute resolution, and to offer LocalBizUS services, upgrades, or promotional opportunities, even if the listing was submitted or managed by an agency or other third party. For this purpose, LocalBizUS may collect and maintain internal business contact information that is not displayed publicly. Agencies, marketers, contractors, and other third parties that submit or manage a listing understand and agree that LocalBizUS may communicate directly with the underlying business, including their clients, regardless of who submitted the listing.
  • Right to edit, suspend, or transfer listings. We reserve the right to edit, suspend, reject, remove, or transfer control of a listing if authorization is disputed; if a listing appears misleading, spammy, or primarily for SEO or backlink purposes; or if it violates these Terms or applicable law. A business may request review or ownership of a listing that was submitted by an agency, subject to verification. Disputes about unauthorized or inaccurate listings may be sent to admin@localbizus.com.

5) Plans, Payments, Renewals & Refunds

  • Paid features (e.g., featured placements, upgrades) may be offered on one-time or recurring terms. Prices and features may change with notice as required by law.
  • Payments are processed by third-party processors (e.g., Stripe/PayPal). We do not store full card numbers.
  • Renewals: If you choose a recurring plan, it will auto-renew until you cancel in your account settings or by contacting us.
  • Cancellations: Cancel any time to stop future renewals. Access remains through the end of the paid period unless otherwise stated.
  • Refunds: Except where required by law or expressly stated, fees are non-refundable once the listing/placement period begins.
  • Taxes may apply based on your location.

6) Acceptable Use

  • No unlawful, fraudulent, defamatory, hateful, harassing, or otherwise harmful activity.
  • No spam, scraping, reverse engineering, or interference with the site’s normal operation.
  • No posting of others’ personal data without permission or legal basis.
  • No intellectual-property infringement or deceptive business claims.

7) Intellectual Property & Trademarks

The Services, including the LocalBizUS name, logo, and site design, are protected by intellectual-property laws. Except for your content and permitted uses under these Terms, you may not copy, distribute, or create derivative works without our written permission.

8) Copyright / DMCA

If you believe content infringes your copyright, send a notice with sufficient detail (work claimed infringed, location of the material, your contact info, and a sworn statement of good faith and accuracy) to admin@localbizus.com. We may remove content and, where appropriate, terminate repeat infringers.

9) Third-Party Services

We may link to or integrate third-party services (e.g., maps, analytics, payments). Their terms and privacy policies govern your use of those services. We are not responsible for third-party content or practices.

10) Disclaimers

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation or the accuracy of listings or user content.

11) Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, LOCALBIZUS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR USE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY. OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THE SERVICES SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO US IN THE 6 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM OR (B) $100.

12) Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless LocalBizUS and its affiliates from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from your use of the Services or violation of these Terms or applicable law.

13) Suspension & Termination

We may suspend or terminate access at any time for any reason, including policy violations or legal risk. Upon termination, your right to use the Services ceases, but certain provisions (e.g., IP, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification) survive.

14) Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Arizona and the United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. You agree to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of state or federal courts located in Maricopa County, Arizona, for disputes not subject to informal resolution. You and we agree to first attempt good-faith resolution before filing suit.

15) Changes to the Terms

We may update these Terms periodically. Continued use after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
