Legal

Website terms of use

1. About these terms

These terms govern your use of The Local Page website, operated by [Operator legal name], [registered address]. By using the site you accept them. Separate terms apply to business listings, advertising and vacancy submissions.

2. What our content is — and isn't

We publish business listings, events, notices and job vacancies. Content is submitted by the public and checked by our team, but we cannot guarantee every detail remains accurate. Listings and vacancies belong to the submitting business. Nothing on this site is professional, legal, financial or medical advice.

3. Using the site honestly

Don't submit information you know to be untrue, impersonate a person or business, submit content you don't have the right to submit, misuse the forms to spam us, or attempt to access parts of the system you're not authorised to use. We may remove content, suspend accounts and report abuse where necessary.

4. Intellectual property

The Local Page name and design are ours. Business details in listings remain the respective business's information. Traffic, sports and weather data belong to their providers and are used under their published licence terms with attribution.

5. Availability

We aim to keep the site available and accurate but provide it "as is" without warranties. Where we display weather, traffic or sports information, availability and accuracy depend on those providers — always check official sources before travelling.

6. Liability

To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses arising from use of the site or reliance on its content. Nothing in these terms limits your statutory rights.

7. Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction.

8. Complaints

We take complaints seriously and aim to acknowledge them within two working days. Send them through our contact form. If your complaint concerns your personal data and you are not satisfied with our response, you may complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint.

9. Changes

We may update these terms; the current version is always on this page.
