Welcome to LocalChoice.in. LocalChoice is a local discovery and classified platform intended to help people find businesses, services, professionals and other local listings.

By using this website, you agree to the policies and terms described below.

  1. Privacy Policy

At LocalChoice, we respect your privacy.

We may collect information that you voluntarily provide while using our website, such as your name, email address, phone number, business details, enquiry details or information submitted while creating or responding to a listing.

We may also collect basic technical information required to operate, secure and improve the website.

How We Use Your Information

Information may be used to:

  • Provide and operate our website and services.
  • Publish or manage business and classified listings.
  • Respond to enquiries and communications.
  • Improve the quality and usefulness of LocalChoice.
  • Prevent misuse, spam, fraud or unlawful activity.
  • Maintain website security.
  • Comply with applicable laws and legal requirements.

Information Shared Through Listings

If you choose to publish contact information, business information, photographs, website addresses or other details as part of a public listing, you understand that this information may be visible to other website visitors.

Please do not publish information that you do not want to make publicly available.

Communication Between Users

LocalChoice may provide ways for users to discover or contact businesses, sellers, service providers or other users.

Once you choose to communicate with another person or business, you are responsible for the information you choose to share and for your interaction with that person or business.

Please use reasonable caution before sharing personal, financial, identification, payment or other sensitive information.

Sharing Information With Authorities

LocalChoice may provide information available to us to government authorities, law-enforcement agencies or other competent authorities when we believe that disclosure is required by applicable law, legal process, court order, government request or for the investigation or prevention of unlawful activity.

We may also cooperate with authorities where necessary to protect our users, our website or the public.

Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect information held by us. However, no website or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

By using LocalChoice, you understand that internet-based communication carries inherent risks.

  1. Terms & Conditions

LocalChoice Is a Discovery Platform

LocalChoice is primarily a platform for discovering and connecting with local businesses, service providers, professionals, sellers and other users.

We are not a party to any transaction, agreement, conversation or relationship that takes place between users.

A listing on LocalChoice does not mean that LocalChoice recommends, guarantees, certifies, verifies or endorses the person, business, product or service being listed.

Users Are Responsible for Their Own Decisions

Users are responsible for making their own enquiries and decisions before dealing with any business, seller, professional or service provider found through LocalChoice.

This includes checking, where appropriate:

  • Identity and contact details.
  • Business credentials.
  • Licences and registrations.
  • Prices and payment terms.
  • Product or service quality.
  • Availability.
  • Delivery or completion timelines.
  • Refund or cancellation policies.
  • Any other information relevant to the proposed transaction.

Please verify important details directly with the person or business before making a payment or entering into an agreement.

Transactions Are Between Users

Any purchase, sale, booking, appointment, service arrangement, payment, delivery, refund, dispute or other transaction is solely between the parties involved.

LocalChoice does not control the conduct of users and is not responsible for the performance, quality, safety, legality, accuracy or outcome of a transaction between users.

If you decide to deal with another user, you do so at your own discretion and responsibility.

Accuracy of Listings

We encourage users and businesses to provide accurate and genuine information.

However, LocalChoice does not guarantee that every listing, description, photograph, price, phone number, address, business claim or other information published on the website is complete, accurate, current or error-free.

Information may change without notice.

If you notice information that appears incorrect, misleading, fraudulent or inappropriate, please contact us so that we can review it.

Prohibited and Illegal Content

LocalChoice does not permit the use of its platform for the promotion, sale, facilitation or distribution of illegal goods, illegal services or unlawful activities.

Content that we believe may involve illegal activity, fraud, scams, abuse, prohibited goods or other unlawful conduct may be removed without prior notice.

We may restrict, suspend or terminate access to accounts or listings where appropriate.

Where required by law, or where we believe that unlawful activity may have occurred, we may preserve and share relevant information with the appropriate authorities.

User Responsibility

You are responsible for the content and information you submit to LocalChoice.

You must not knowingly submit information that is:

  • Illegal.
  • Fraudulent or deceptive.
  • Defamatory.
  • Threatening or abusive.
  • Infringing another person’s intellectual property or privacy rights.
  • Intended to facilitate unlawful activity.
  • Otherwise prohibited by applicable law.

You should only publish information that you have the right to publish.

No Guarantee

LocalChoice does not guarantee that:

  • A listed business or individual will respond to you.
  • A product or service will be available.
  • A listing will remain on the website.
  • Information provided by another user will be accurate.
  • A transaction will be completed successfully.
  • A business or service provider will meet your expectations.
  • The website will always be available or free from errors.

Your use of the platform and your dealings with other users are at your own discretion and responsibility.

Limitation of Responsibility

To the extent permitted by applicable law, LocalChoice and its owners, operators and associated parties shall not be responsible for losses, disputes, damages, fraud, misleading statements, failed transactions, poor service, defective products, personal interactions or other consequences arising from dealings between users.

Users are expected to independently evaluate and verify the people, businesses, products and services they choose to deal with.

Nothing in these terms is intended to exclude or limit any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited under applicable law.

  1. Disclaimer

The information available on LocalChoice is provided primarily for local discovery and informational purposes.

A listing on LocalChoice should not automatically be treated as a recommendation, endorsement, certification or guarantee by LocalChoice.

We do not necessarily verify every claim made by a business, seller, professional or other user.

Your Own Verification Matters

Before dealing with a person or business found through LocalChoice, please carry out your own checks.

This is particularly important when the interaction involves:

  • Money or advance payments.
  • Personal information.
  • Property.
  • Employment.
  • Professional services.
  • High-value products.
  • Health or safety.
  • Legal or financial matters.

Do not rely solely on a LocalChoice listing when making an important decision.

Communication Is Your Responsibility

If you contact a business, seller, professional or another user through information found on LocalChoice, the subsequent communication is between you and that party.

You are responsible for deciding what information to share and whether you wish to proceed with the interaction.

LocalChoice does not control private conversations, negotiations, payments or agreements between users.

Third-Party Websites

Some listings may contain links to websites or platforms operated by third parties.

LocalChoice does not control those websites and is not responsible for their content, privacy practices, security, products, services or policies.

You should review the terms and privacy policy of any third-party website before using it.

Our Approach to Illegal Content

While LocalChoice is not responsible for policing every interaction between users, we do not permit our platform to be knowingly used for illegal promotions or unlawful activities.

If we become aware of content that appears to promote illegal activity, we may remove or restrict it.

Where appropriate or legally required, we may cooperate with law-enforcement agencies and provide information available to us.

Contact Us

If you believe that a listing contains illegal, fraudulent, misleading or otherwise inappropriate content, please contact us with the relevant details.

We will review the information and take appropriate action where necessary.

LocalChoice is here to help people discover local options. What happens after two people connect is their responsibility, and users should always exercise their own judgement and caution.
