Terms of Use

By accessing or using FindInMyZip ("the Service"), you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, don't use the Service.

1. The Service

FindInMyZip is a directory and matching service that connects consumers with local businesses based on reviews, proximity, and category. We aggregate publicly available business information from Google and other sources, and from businesses that claim and edit their own listings.

2. Listings & Claims

Anyone can submit a request to claim a listing through the claim form. Claims are subject to verification. We reserve the right to approve, decline, or revoke any claim at our discretion. Submitting a fraudulent claim, impersonating a business you don't own, or claiming a listing as a competitor's saboteur will result in permanent banning.

3. Lead Routing

When a consumer submits a "Get Matched" request, we may route their contact information to up to three businesses in the relevant category and zip code. Businesses receiving leads agree to handle that information lawfully (see Privacy Policy) and to respond promptly. We do not guarantee any particular response rate, conversion rate, or quality of service from listed businesses.

4. Advertising

The Service displays paid advertising. Ads are clearly labeled. We don't endorse advertised products or services and are not responsible for the conduct of advertisers.

5. Reviews & Ratings

Star ratings and review counts are aggregated from third-party sources (primarily Google) and are provided as-is. Aggregate scores are point-in-time snapshots and may not reflect the most recent reviews. We do not edit or moderate third-party reviews.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to: scrape or copy our database; reverse-engineer the Service; use the Service to harass, defame, or stalk; attempt to gain unauthorized access; submit malicious code; or use the Service in violation of any law.

7. Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind. We don't warrant accuracy, availability, or fitness for any particular purpose. Hire any local business at your own risk and verify licenses, insurance, and references independently.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim arising from the Service is limited to USD $100 or the fees you paid us in the prior 12 months, whichever is greater. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages.

9. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claim arising out of your use of the Service, your content, or your violation of these Terms.

10. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of California, USA. Disputes will be resolved in Sonoma County, California.

11. Changes

We may update these Terms at any time. Material changes will be announced via the site. Your continued use after a change constitutes acceptance.
