Terms of Service
These terms explain the rules for using Locallya, submitting business information, and accessing local listing content.
01 Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using Locallya ("the Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"), our Privacy Policy, and any additional terms applicable to specific features. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.
02 About Locallya
Locallya is a local discovery platform that helps people find restaurants, cafes, hotels, shops, services, and other local businesses. Locallya provides a directory of businesses, along with business details, photos, menus, services, and aggregated information for the purpose of local discovery.
Locallya is not a booking, ordering, or payment service. We do not handle reservations, deliveries, or transactions between you and any listed business unless explicitly stated.
03 Use of the Website
You agree to use Locallya only for lawful purposes and in a way that does not infringe the rights of, restrict, or inhibit anyone else's use of the Service. When using Locallya you agree:
- Not to use the Service for any fraudulent or unlawful purpose
- Not to attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Service or its underlying systems
- Not to scrape, harvest, or copy listings or content in bulk without our written permission
- To respect the intellectual property rights of Locallya, businesses, and other users
04 Business Listings
Business listings on Locallya may include public information about a business, such as:
- Business name, brand, and category
- Address, geographic coordinates, and map location
- Phone number, website, and email address (where provided)
- Opening hours, services, amenities, and price level
- Menus, products, dishes, prices, dietary tags
- Photos of the establishment, products, food, or services
- Aggregated ratings and review highlights
Locallya curates and may edit listings to maintain consistency and clarity. Business owners may claim a listing to manage it themselves.
05 User Submissions
When you submit content to Locallya — including business information, photos, menu items, comments, corrections, or messages — you confirm that:
- The information you provide is accurate to the best of your knowledge
- You have the rights, permissions, or licenses required to share the content
- You grant Locallya a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, display, reproduce, format, translate, and adapt the content for the purpose of operating the platform
- You will not submit content that is unlawful, misleading, harmful, defamatory, infringing, or violates the rights of others
Locallya reserves the right to review, edit, remove, or refuse any submission at its discretion.
06 Accuracy of Information
Locallya strives to provide useful and reasonably accurate business information. However, business details — including hours, prices, menus, services, contact information, and availability — may change at any time, often without notice to us.
Business details may change. Users should confirm critical details directly with the business before relying on them — for example, calling ahead to verify hours, prices, or availability for a specific date or service.
Locallya makes no warranties about the completeness, accuracy, reliability, or currency of any information presented on the Service.
07 Prohibited Activities
When using Locallya you must not:
- Submit false, misleading, or duplicative business listings
- Impersonate any person or business, or misrepresent your affiliation
- Use Locallya to harass, abuse, or harm another person or business
- Upload viruses, malware, or any code designed to interfere with the Service
- Interfere with the security or proper operation of the Service
- Use automated tools (bots, scrapers) to access the Service without our consent
- Resell, sublicense, or commercially exploit Locallya content without permission
08 Intellectual Property
All content on Locallya — including text, graphics, logos, icons, layouts, software, and the overall design — is owned by Locallya or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws.
You may view and share Locallya content for personal, non-commercial use as long as you do not modify, remove copyright notices, or use it in a way that misrepresents Locallya. For other uses, please contact us.
Business names, logos, and trademarks shown on listings remain the property of their respective owners and are used to identify the business.
09 Third-Party Links
Locallya may include links to third-party websites, services, or content that we do not control. We provide these links for convenience and do not endorse, guarantee, or take responsibility for the availability, accuracy, content, or practices of any third-party site.
Using a third-party site is at your own risk and subject to that site's own terms and privacy policies.
10 No Professional Advice
Content on Locallya is for general information and local discovery purposes only. It is not intended to be, and should not be considered, professional advice — including health, medical, legal, financial, safety, dietary, or any other professional advice.
No professional advice disclaimer. For health concerns (e.g., choosing a clinic), legal questions, financial decisions, safety guidance, dietary needs, or similar categories, always consult a qualified professional and confirm relevant details directly with the business or provider.
11 Disclaimer of Warranties
The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and accuracy.
Locallya does not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, free of viruses, or that any listing information will be accurate at any given time.
12 Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Locallya, its affiliates, employees, and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages arising out of or relating to your use of the Service or any business listing.
In no event will Locallya's aggregate liability exceed the greater of (a) the amount you have paid to Locallya in the past twelve months, or (b) one hundred US dollars.
13 Changes to the Service
Locallya may add, change, suspend, or discontinue any feature of the Service at any time, including individual listings, search results, content categories, and platform features, with or without notice. We are not liable to you or any third party for changes, suspensions, or discontinuations.
14 Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to all or part of the Service at any time, without notice, for any reason, including breach of these Terms. Upon termination, your rights to use the Service immediately cease.
Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination (such as Intellectual Property, Disclaimer of Warranties, Limitation of Liability, and Governing Terms) shall continue to apply.
15 Governing Terms
These Terms, and any dispute or claim (including non-contractual disputes or claims) arising out of or in connection with them, their subject matter, or their formation, are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws applicable to Locallya's place of operation, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Where local consumer-protection laws grant users mandatory rights that cannot be waived, those rights remain unaffected.
You and Locallya agree to first attempt to resolve any dispute informally by contacting us through the channels listed in the Contact Information section. We will work in good faith to address the matter within thirty (30) days of receiving your notice. If a dispute cannot be resolved informally, it shall be brought exclusively before the courts of competent jurisdiction at Locallya's principal place of business, except where applicable law gives you the right to bring proceedings in the courts of your country of residence.
If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or, if that is not possible, severed from these Terms. All remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not be considered a waiver of those rights.
These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any feature-specific terms referenced within the Service, constitute the entire agreement between you and Locallya regarding your use of the Service and supersede any prior agreements on the same subject matter.
16 Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when changes were made. Material changes may be announced via a notice on the Service. Your continued use of Locallya after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
