Terms and conditions of use

We undertake to conduct ourselves and our business to the highest moral and ethical standards and we expect our users to do the same. These Terms and Conditions describe the way in which we conduct ourselves with you, and they govern the way in which you conduct yourself when using our service. If you don’t wish to use this service in accordance with these Terms and Conditions please move on elsewhere – your use of this website constitutes your acceptance of these Terms and Conditions.

In using this service you commit to:

Submit only genuine business listings;
Claim only business listings for your business(es) or for businesses where you are an authorized representative;
Not upload images, videos, text or any other content that might be considered offensive to other users or immoral;
Make updates and additions that you know to be accurate, legal, decent and current – you will not make updates that present false, inaccurate, obscene or misleading information;
Take a deep breath and count (slowly) to ten before writing a negative review about any business. If you must write a negative review, keep it objective and fair, and never get personal. Give any business the opportunity to resolve any issue offline before giving a negative review;
If you’ve had a bad experience with a business and they subsequently make amends, be generous in your review of them – no-one gets it right 100% of the time, but when they fix something that’s broken they truly deserve credit.

Legal

The service

The BlackPagesOhio.com Service is a freely available Business Listing Database and business directory targeting & promoting MBE’s. It’s built and maintained by BlackPages Ohio & The Summit Magazine.

No warranties

The Service is provided as seen, without any warranties specific or implied. BlackPagesOhio.com, nor any of its associated companies, cannot guarantee and can take no responsibility for, the accuracy of any listings. If you see inaccuracies you may use our tools or contact form to make any corrections.

Obscene or illegal content

BlackPagesOhio.com reserves the right to remove any obscene, illegal, or otherwise offensive content.

Withdrawal of service

BlackPagesOhio.com reserves the right to withdraw the Service at any time from any or all users.

Provision of paid services no refunds

BlackPagesOhio.com’s responsibilities in relation to paid-for services are fulfilled in total at the moment of payment; BlackPagesOhio.com is a self-service platform and does not provide subsequent refunds on paid services.

Transfer of claims and disputes

Where a business listing claim is transferred to another member following a claim dispute, the remaining period of the claim, any associated paid-for services, and any sums paid to BlackPagesOhio.com are forfeited in favor of the new claimant. In short, you should not falsely claim a business listing because if it is later transferred to its rightful claimant you will not be entitled to any refund and they will inherit the remainder of the claim period and any associated promotions.

Ownership of data and your privacy

Business listings are compiled from a combination of publically available business listing data and user-generated data. Brand names and trademarks that feature in business listings are used only in the context of correctly identifying those brand names, trademarks or owners to which they relate. They are owned by their respective owners and BlackPagesOhio.com claims no association with any of them. All data and information present and entered into the Service becomes and remains the property of BlackPagesOhio.com.
