Terms of Use

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, memberships and Mobile Menus Now menu-photo sharing (collectively, the “Services”). By accessing or using the Services, you agree to these Terms. The domain MobileMenusNow.com is owned by us and sends visitors to LocalBizUS.com; using that address is covered by these Terms.

• 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.
• New accounts must confirm their email address before signing in. If you do not receive the confirmation email, contact us for help.
• Contacting businesses. Listing contact forms are for genuine inquiries to the business. Messages you send are delivered to the business as coming from you, not from LocalBizUS. To prevent abuse, we limit how many messages one sender may send to the same business within an hour or a day, and we may block senders who misuse the forms (for example, spam, harassment or misleading messages).
• U.S. businesses only. LocalBizUS accepts listings only for U.S.-based businesses. A valid U.S. city and state are required for every listing. A street address is required for storefront listings and optional for service-area and mobile / by-appointment businesses (for example, home-based providers, food trucks, and businesses that travel to the customer). Submissions that do not meet these eligibility requirements may be rejected at submission or removed after the fact, at our discretion and without notice.
• Location types & privacy. When you choose service-area or mobile / by-appointment, any street address you provide is stored for our internal records only and is not displayed publicly on your listing. Your public listing will instead show your service area (city and state). You are responsible for choosing the location type that accurately reflects how your business operates.
• 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.

• 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.
• Listing duration: Basic (free) listings do not expire and are not removed for inactivity. Once approved, your listing remains published until you ask us to remove it or we remove it under these Terms.
• Keeping your listing accurate: You are responsible for keeping your listing information current. To help, we send periodic reminder emails to the contact address on your listing — approximately 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after approval and annually thereafter — inviting you to sign in and review your hours, contact details, description, photos, and any current specials. These reminders are paused if you have recently updated your listing, and you can opt out at any time by replying to the email or contacting us.
• Out-of-date notices: If a listing has not been updated by its owner for an extended period (currently about 24 months), we may display a neutral notice indicating the information may be out of date and invite the business or the public to help us correct it. The listing remains published.
• “How did you hear about us?”: The optional answer you give on the listing form is stored with the listing so we can tell which promotions bring businesses to LocalBizUS. It is visible only to authorized LocalBizUS staff and is not shown on your public listing.
• Weekly social posts: With our own approval, we may feature a published listing — its name, description and the main photo the owner supplied — in a weekly LocalBizUS post on Facebook, Instagram or Google Business Profile. These posts are promotional, are not an endorsement or guarantee, and do not change your listing’s plan, price or status.

• Permission to submit: Signed-in users may submit restaurant-menu and service-list photos for an existing published business listing without representing that business. You must have taken the photo or have permission and all necessary rights to share it. Do not include private personal information, unlawful material or misleading alterations. This permission concerns menu photos only and does not authorize creating or managing a business listing on someone else’s behalf.
• Inappropriate images are not allowed: We do not allow nudity or sexual content, hate symbols or hate speech, graphic violence, images of identifiable people without their consent, images of minors, government-issued or payment-card images, other private personal information, non-menu or promotional spam, and images altered to mislead. Such photos are rejected or removed, and the account of a user who submits one may be suspended or permanently deleted together with that user’s remaining submissions. Serious or repeated submissions may be reported as appropriate.
• Review before publication: Photos are private pending LocalBizUS review. We notify the LocalBizUS admin of new uploaded photos and may approve, reject or remove a submission based on whether it is appropriate for the linked listing. Approval is not an endorsement or a guarantee of ownership, accuracy, current prices or availability.
• Business not listed: You may submit a menu photo with a business name and city for admin review. The admin may identify an existing listing or create a free unclaimed listing after verifying business details, then invite the business through a verified business contact email to review and complete it. The uploader receives no business ownership or management rights. The photo remains private until linked and approved, and appears separately from the primary listing image.
• Owner accuracy review: After approval and publication, we send a notice to the registered listing owner’s account email explaining that a new image was added and asking the owner to review its accuracy. An unclaimed listing without a registered business owner does not receive this notice. Email delivery cannot be guaranteed.
• Owner objections and removal: If the registered owner objects to an image or wants it removed, contact admin@localbizus.com or reply to the notice. Include the business name, menu title and image or listing link. We may verify authority to act for the business and remove the image following a verified owner request. Anyone may raise privacy or copyright concerns; signed-in users may also report outdated, incorrect or inappropriate images.
• No price guarantee: Menus are user-submitted snapshots with a reported photo date. Items, services, prices and availability may have changed. Confirm details directly with the business before ordering or purchasing. Listing owners are not responsible for a third party’s submission merely because it appears on their listing.
• Content rights and removal: The user-content license above applies to menu photos. You retain any rights you own; sharing does not transfer ownership to LocalBizUS or other users. Submitters may remove their own photos from My submissions. Removal or rejection stops new public access through our service, but existing short-lived links, third-party copies and search caches may not disappear immediately.
• Featured in our posts: With our own approval, an approved menu photo may be featured in a weekly LocalBizUS social media post on Facebook, Instagram or Google Business Profile. The post credits the linked business and does not identify the uploader’s account email. Ask us to stop featuring a photo and we will leave it out of future posts; posts already published by other people or platforms remain outside our control.

Registered listing owners can view aggregate listing views, website clicks and phone-link clicks for their own listings over the last 30 days under My business listings. These counters are private, are not displayed on public listings and do not provide individual visitor records. An unclaimed listing does not grant access to these counters until ownership is established.

Activity totals count recorded events, not unique people, verified leads or confirmed customers. Repeat visits, owner visits or automated traffic may contribute to totals; browser settings, blocked tracking or technical interruptions may cause activity to be missed. A phone-link click does not confirm that a call was completed, and a website click does not confirm a sale. We do not guarantee a minimum number of views, clicks, inquiries or sales with any listing plan.

These counters are informational and are not independently audited. Do not deliberately inflate or manipulate activity totals. For information about activity data collection and retention, see our Privacy Policy.

• 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.

• LocalBizUS currently offers a free Basic listing and a paid Premium Listing at $99.00 USD per year, billed annually in advance. Prices and features may change with prior notice as required by law.
• Payments are processed by Stripe. We do not store full card numbers. Sales tax, where applicable, is calculated, collected, and remitted by Stripe on our behalf.
• Auto-renewal: Premium subscriptions automatically renew each year on the anniversary of purchase using the payment method on file until you cancel. We send reminder emails approximately 30 days and 7 days before each renewal.
• Cancellation: You can cancel any time from the Billing page in your account (Stripe Customer Portal). Cancellation stops future renewals; your Premium features and benefits remain fully active through the end of the paid period. When the period ends, the listing automatically reverts to a Basic listing — no further charges occur.
• Data retention after lapse: When a Premium subscription lapses or is canceled, we retain all of your Premium content (image gallery, video, coupon, social links, custom CTA, map data, etc.) on your listing. Premium-only features are simply hidden from public view while the listing is Basic, and are automatically restored if you resubscribe. You may also receive occasional reminder emails inviting you to renew.
• Failed payments: If a renewal payment fails, we will email you and Stripe will retry the charge. If the subscription remains unpaid, Premium features will be hidden and the listing will revert to Basic until payment is resolved; your Premium content is retained as described above.
• Refunds: Except where required by law, fees are non-refundable once a billing period has begun. We do not pro-rate partial periods.
• Deleting a Premium listing: Deleting a listing that has an active Premium subscription will not automatically cancel billing. Please cancel the subscription from the Billing page before deleting the listing, or contact us for assistance.
• Complimentary Premium: LocalBizUS may, at its sole discretion, grant complimentary Premium for a limited period. Complimentary Premium has no charge, no card on file, and no auto-renewal, and may be revoked at any time.
• Records: Invoices and receipts are available in the Stripe Customer Portal from the Billing page.

• 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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