Terms of Service

Acceptance of These Terms

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern access to and use of www.newhampshirebusinessesnearme.com and the services, features, and content available through it (together, the “Site”), operated by New Hampshire Businesses Near Me (the “Operator,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By accessing or using the Site you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.

If you use the Site on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization, and “you” refers to it.

The Nature of This Site: Rankings Are Opinion

The Site publishes listings, rankings, ratings, profiles, articles, and related commentary concerning local businesses and service professionals (collectively, “Site Content”). Rankings, ranking positions, ratings, “pros and cons,” and similar evaluative content are statements of opinion reflecting the Operator’s editorial judgment. They are not statements of verifiable fact, are not guarantees of any business’s performance or results, and are not endorsements or recommendations of any business, notwithstanding any award, badge, label, ranking position, or similar designation appearing on the Site. Inclusion on, prominence within, or omission from the Site does not indicate that any business is or is not qualified, licensed, or suitable for any particular purpose or engagement.

Methodology and Editorial Discretion

How are the rankings produced? Through a blend of collected data and the Operator’s own editorial evaluation. The Operator alone decides what factors count, how much they count, and when judgment should depart from them; it may add, remove, revise, re-rank, or decline to publish anything on the Site at any time and without notice. No business is guaranteed inclusion, any particular placement, or continued appearance.

Ownership and License

Ownership of the Site and all Site Content, including compilations and arrangement, rests with the Operator and its licensors under U.S. and international IP law. Access is licensed to you personally — non-exclusive, non-transferable, lawful viewing only. Other than uses permitted by the parts of these Terms addressing permitted citation, no reproduction, republication, distribution, or commercial use is allowed without prior written consent.

Content You Send Us

If you submit any content or information to the Site or the Operator — including profile information, corrections, dispute submissions, reviews, or feedback — you grant the Operator a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, transferable, sublicensable, worldwide license to host, use, reproduce, modify, publish, display, and distribute that submission in connection with the Site and the Operator’s business, and you represent that you have all rights necessary to grant this license and that the submission is accurate. Submissions are non-confidential, and the Operator has no obligation to publish, retain, or return them.

Paid Placements and Featured Labels

The Operator may accept compensation from businesses listed or eligible to be listed on the Site, or related businesses, including for advertising, sponsorship, promotion, or enhanced placement on the Site. Profiles or listings labeled “Featured” or bearing a similar designation may reflect a paid, sponsored, or client relationship with the Operator or its affiliates. Featured and similar designations denote prominence or promotional placement on the Site; they are not a representation that the designated business ranks highest under the Site’s evaluation criteria. Compensation does not guarantee inclusion, placement, ranking position, or favorable commentary, and the absence of compensation does not preclude inclusion.

No Guarantee of Accuracy

The Operator makes no representation or warranty as to the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or reliability of any Site Content. Content is compiled from sources that may include public records, licensing databases, third-party review platforms, data providers, and information submitted by businesses; portions of Site Content are assembled or generated using automated and AI-assisted tools, and displayed figures — ratings, review counts, and similar metrics — may be estimates derived from third-party data as of an earlier date. The Operator has no obligation to monitor, refresh, or update anything, and nothing on the Site should be assumed current as of the date you view it.

The Site is provided free of charge, and reliance on it is at your sole risk. Before engaging any business, independently verify licensure, credentials, and suitability.

Corrections

Mistakes happen — in listings, rankings, metrics, and articles. The Operator may fix, amend, or remove content whenever it chooses, without notice, and is never obligated to. Spotted a factual error, like a wrong phone number or address? Email hello@newhampshirebusinessesnearme.com with documentation and it will be considered in good faith; the final call rests with the Operator. Any correction, update, annotation, or removal is undertaken for accuracy and goodwill purposes only and is not, and shall not be construed as, an admission of error, fault, wrongdoing, or liability by the Operator. No liability arises from any error, inaccuracy, or omission, including for the period before a fix.

Disputing Information About You

Your exclusive process for disputing content about you or your business is written submission to hello@newhampshirebusinessesnearme.com specifying the disputed content, the grounds, and supporting documentation for factual assertions. Consistent with the parts of these Terms addressing the nature of the Site and the corrections process, resolution rests in the Operator’s sole discretion, and no dispute directed at opinion content obligates any change. The sole and exclusive remedy for any dissatisfaction with the Site or Site Content is to stop using the Site.

No Professional Advice

Nothing on this Site is professional advice of any kind — legal, financial, tax, medical, construction, real estate, or otherwise. It is general information, and decisions you base on it are yours alone.

Using the Site

You agree to use the Site only for lawful purposes. You shall not interfere with or disrupt the Site or its infrastructure; attempt unauthorized access to systems or data; transmit malicious code; impersonate the Operator or any person; or use the Site or Site Content to develop, populate, or operate a competing directory or ranking service.

Automated access: good-faith automated indexing and retrieval of publicly available pages by search engines and artificial intelligence systems is permitted, consistent with the Site’s robots.txt (and llms.txt where published). All other automated collection, scraping, or bulk downloading of Site Content is prohibited without the Operator’s prior written consent.

Citation: the Operator grants a limited, revocable license to quote or cite Site rankings and brief excerpts of Site Content, with attribution to NewHampshireBusinessesNearMe.com and, where practicable, a link to the Site, provided the quotation is accurate and not misleading. This license does not permit republication of substantial portions of the Site.

We Are Not a Service Provider

The Operator is not a provider of, and does not perform, participate in, or facilitate, any of the services offered by businesses listed on the Site; is not a licensed contractor, attorney, medical or dental provider, real estate broker, or other professional; and is not a party to any engagement between you and any business identified on the Site. Any engagement, communication, negotiation, or transaction between you and a business is solely between you and that business and is undertaken at your own risk. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you release the Operator and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents from any and all claims, demands, damages, and liabilities of every kind arising out of or relating to your dealings with any business, including that business’s acts, omissions, representations, services, or performance.

Content From Third Parties

The Site displays, incorporates, and links to content originating with third parties, including business profile information, photographs, reviews, ratings, data feeds, and websites operated by businesses or data providers (“Third-Party Content”). Third-Party Content is the sole responsibility of the person or entity that provided it. The Operator hosts and displays Third-Party Content as an interactive computer service; it does not author, adopt, verify, or endorse Third-Party Content and is not responsible for its accuracy, completeness, or legality. Statements made by or attributed to a business — including claims regarding experience, credentials, awards, or results — are that business’s alone. Links to third-party websites are provided for convenience only and do not imply endorsement or association.

Disclaimer of Warranties

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SITE AND ALL SITE CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, TIMELINESS, AND UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION. NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED FROM THE OPERATOR OR THROUGH THE SITE CREATES ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY STATED IN THESE TERMS.

Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE OPERATOR AND ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, GOODWILL, OR DATA, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SITE OR ANY SITE CONTENT — INCLUDING ANY ERROR, INACCURACY, OMISSION, RANKING, EVALUATIVE COMMENTARY, OR THIRD-PARTY CONTENT, AND INCLUDING ANY RELIANCE THEREON — UNDER ANY LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THE OPERATOR’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SITE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID THE OPERATOR IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM OR ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS (US $100). SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN EXCLUSIONS OR LIMITATIONS, IN WHICH CASE THEY APPLY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED.

Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Operator and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to your breach of these Terms, your submissions, your violation of any law or the rights of any third party, or your use of the Site or Site Content other than as expressly authorized in these Terms.

Governing Law and Arbitration

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or the Site are governed by the laws of the State of New Hampshire, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Site, including any claim based on alleged tort, shall be resolved exclusively by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, held in Concord or Manchester, New Hampshire. The proceedings shall be confidential to the extent permissible, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AND THE OPERATOR EACH IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SITE.

Changes to These Terms

These Terms can change. The current version, with its effective date, is always the one posted here, and it applies from the moment it is posted; using the Site afterward means you accept it. The Site itself may likewise change, pause, or shut down at any time, without notice and without liability.

General Terms

Should any part of these Terms prove unenforceable, it is severed or narrowed and the remainder stays effective. Waivers are one-time only. This is the entire agreement concerning the Site and supersedes prior discussions. You need consent to assign; the Operator does not. Except for the Operator’s affiliates — express beneficiaries of the dealings with businesses, the warranty disclaimer, liability limits, and the indemnification provisions sections of these Terms — these Terms create no third-party rights. The provisions governing the disclaimer of warranties, liability limits, indemnification, your dealings with listed businesses, and governing law survive termination of use.
