Terms / Acceptable Use
These terms explain what users, contributors, reviewers, and business owners should and should not do on LocalGuideX.
You may use LocalGuideX to search for businesses, submit genuine listings, suggest community businesses, write honest reviews, claim businesses you are connected to, submit calendar items, request promotions, and participate in rewards where eligible.
Do not submit false, misleading, offensive, abusive, copied, spammy, illegal, or harmful content. Do not impersonate another person or business, submit fake reviews, make false business claims, or upload evidence you are not allowed to share.
Reviews should be based on a genuine experience or useful community knowledge. Fake reviews, paid reviews that are not disclosed, competitor attacks, harassment, private personal information, and irrelevant comments may be rejected or removed.
Only claim a business if you own it, manage it, work for it with authority, or have a genuine right to manage the listing. LocalGuideX may request evidence, reject claims, reverse ownership, or suspend access if a claim appears false.
Business listings should be accurate, useful, and lawful. Business owners are responsible for keeping details current, including phone numbers, addresses, opening hours, websites, offers, and service information.
Rewards are intended for useful, genuine community contributions. Points, bonuses, payout eligibility, and payout requests may be reviewed, adjusted, declined, delayed, or cancelled if submissions are low quality, duplicated, misleading, abusive, or suspicious.
Promotion requests are subject to review and payment confirmation. LocalGuideX may reject, pause, remove, or adjust promoted placements if payment cannot be verified, the listing is not approved, or the content breaches platform rules.
Yes. LocalGuideX may edit, reject, unpublish, remove, or restrict content and accounts to protect users, businesses, platform quality, security, legal compliance, and community trust.
No. Do not scrape, bulk copy, harvest, resell, or misuse directory data, contact details, reviews, or contributor information without written permission from LocalGuideX.
LocalGuideX is a directory and community platform. We do not guarantee the quality, availability, pricing, licensing, advice, or services provided by listed businesses. Users should make their own checks before contacting or purchasing from a business.
Yes. We may update these terms as the platform grows, features change, or legal and safety needs evolve. The latest version will be available from this page.
