Effective Date: April 2, 2026
Please read these Terms of Service ("Terms", "Agreement") carefully before using the Local City Walk website and mobile applications (the "Service") operated by Local City Walk ("us", "we", or "our"). This Agreement sets forth the legally binding terms and conditions for your use of the Service. By accessing or using the Service in any manner, you agree to be bound by these Terms.
You must be at least 18 years of age to establish an account, process transactions, or submit business profiles on Local City Walk. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement and have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract.
Our platform mechanics rely heavily on strict proximity sorting algorithms. By utilizing the Service, you expressly consent to the collection, storage, and processing of your coordinate data (latitude/longitude) via local session storage and cookies. We utilize this purely for the calculation of distance mapping and service delivery; we strictly disclaim the sale of identifiable geospatial data to third-party data brokers.
You agree not to deliberately disrupt or manipulate the directory ecosystem. Any attempt to artificially inflate business reviews, falsify geographic locations, deploy automated scraping scripts, or misrepresent corporate affiliations is strictly prohibited. We reserve the absolute operational authority to terminate any user account without prior notice if we deem these integrity standards have been violated.
Premium verification, priority SEO indexing, and boosted rankings require an active, recurring subscription billed via our secure payment gateway (Stripe). Subscription fees are non-refundable, except where expressly mandated by applicable law. You may cancel your subscription at any time; however, access to premium commercial benefits will cease immediately upon the expiration of your active billing cycle.
You retain total ownership of any reviews, photography, and text descriptions ("Content") you upload. However, by submitting Content to Local City Walk, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, and highly transferable license to display, syndicate, modify, and distribute your Content across our digital properties and partner networks.
We adhere strictly to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). If you believe that content residing natively on our Platform infringes upon your copyright, you must submit a formal Takedown Notice encompassing your electronic signature and exact identification of the infringed property. Local City Walk invokes its safe harbor right to expeditiously remove any user-uploaded media identified as infringing.
Local City Walk acts strictly as a programmatic data aggregation platform and discovery directory. **We are NOT a licensed real estate brokerage, managing broker, or financial institution.** Any interactions, transactions, or communications originating from our platform with entities utilizing a "Verified Broker License" badge execute entirely between you and the third-party agent. Local City Walk unconditionally disclaims any operational liability, financial damages, or fiduciary responsibility arising from real estate transactions facilitated through our network.
Platform features such as "Trust Scores," "Leaderboards," and sorting placements are generated by a strictly proprietary, closed-source artificial intelligence algorithm. These metrics do not guarantee factual reliability or state-level endorsement. We reserve the absolute operational authority to modify the weighting logic of these algorithms at any point. By registering a business on the platform, you expressly waive any legal claim against Local City Walk for alleged "loss of revenue" stemming from systemic de-ranking or algorithmic displacement on our Leaderboards.
Our core discovery engine leverages advanced Artificial Intelligence (LLM embeddings and vector-spatial mapping) to predict contextual semantic matches. Given the experimental nature of deep learning integrations, we explicitly disclaim the absolute correctness, reliability, or safety of AI-generated search matches. We shall not be held liable for hallucinated data, algorithmic bias, or search engine mapping deviations.
You agree to fully defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Local City Walk, its developer ecosystem, contractors, and corporate affiliates from any liabilities, damages, operational losses, and expenses (including premier legal fees) that arise directly or indirectly from your misuse of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your infringement of any third-party intellectual property or privacy rights.
The Service is provided unconditionally on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" commercial basis. We make ZERO representations or warranties—express or implied—regarding the uninterrupted reliability of our servers, the accuracy of user-submitted business intelligence, or the physical safety and legitimacy of any business listed within the directory. Your reliance on our proximity guidance is entirely at your own risk.
If any specific provision of these Terms is deemed completely invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by an authoritative court of competent jurisdiction, the absolute validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining clauses contained herein will not in any way be affected or functionally impaired.
These Terms shall be rigorously governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, absent regard to its conflict of law provisions. Furthermore, you expressly align with our requirement that any legal dispute, controversy, or claim emanating from your use of the Platform must be legally resolved strictly through binding mutual arbitration. You proactively WAIVE any right to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action lawsuit.
We reserve the direct right to terminate or suspend access to our Service immediately, without prior notice or liability, for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation if you breach the Terms. Upon termination, your right to use the Service will immediately cease. Premium subscribers whose accounts are terminated for violations are not entitled to refunds.
