Terms of Use

Effective date: June 01, 2026 · Version 1.0

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of Small Spotter Directory and any business listing you submit. By using the website or submitting a listing, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy.

Directory purpose and eligibility

Small Spotter Directory is a directory designed for owner-led small businesses with fewer than 50 employees, including solo entrepreneurs, freelancers, independent professionals, and very small teams. Submitting a listing does not guarantee that it will be approved or published.

Approval and removal rights

Small Spotter Directory may review, verify, edit for formatting or clarity, request changes, reject, suspend, unpublish, or remove any listing at its discretion. Not every business or submission will qualify or be approved, and we are not required to provide a reason for rejection or removal.

Approval of a listing is not an endorsement, certification, or guarantee of that business. Listings are provided for informational purposes only.

Accuracy and authority

By submitting a listing, you confirm that:

  • The information you provide is truthful, current, and not misleading.
  • You own the business, or you have permission to submit and manage its information on its behalf.
  • You have all rights or permissions needed to provide any logos, photographs, descriptions, trademarks, and other materials included with the listing.

Permission to display and promote submitted content

You retain ownership of the content you submit. By submitting content to Small Spotter Directory, you grant Small Spotter Directory a nonexclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to host, store, reproduce, display, format, resize, crop, distribute, and use the submitted business name, logo, photographs, description, contact details, and other listing content for the purpose of operating and promoting the directory.

This license includes use on Small Spotter Directory websites, directory pages, search results, social media, emails, digital or printed promotional materials, and advertising related to the directory.

Small Spotter Directory will not materially misrepresent your business or imply an endorsement that you did not provide.

You may request removal of your listing, or request that your submitted content no longer be used in future promotional materials, by contacting us through the site. Materials that have already been published, sent, printed, or distributed may not always be immediately retractable.

Prohibited submissions

You agree not to submit content that is:

  • False, misleading, fraudulent, illegal, discriminatory, or abusive.
  • Infringing on another person's intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights.
  • Harmful, harassing, threatening, or otherwise inappropriate.
  • Related to franchises, large agencies, or other businesses that do not meet the directory's eligibility requirements.

Small Spotter Directory may reject or remove any submission that violates these rules.

Account responsibility

If you create an account to submit or manage listings, you are responsible for keeping your login credentials secure and for all activity that happens under your account. Please notify us promptly if you believe your account has been used without your permission.

Third-party businesses and links

Small Spotter Directory lists third-party businesses and may link to third-party websites. We do not control these businesses or websites and are not responsible for their content, products, services, or practices. Any transaction or relationship you enter into with a listed business is solely between you and that business.

Directory accuracy

We do not promise that every listing is verified. We do not guarantee the quality, safety, legality, licensing, accuracy, or reliability of any listed business or of the information they provide. You should independently confirm anything important to you before hiring or transacting with a listed business.

Service availability

We work to keep Small Spotter Directory available, but we do not guarantee that the site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of vulnerabilities. We may change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the site at any time.

Intellectual property

The Small Spotter Directory name, logo, website design, and original directory content are owned by Small Spotter Directory or its licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws. You may not copy, reproduce, or use them without our permission, except as needed to view the site in the normal course of use.

Disclaimers

Small Spotter Directory is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that any listing is accurate, complete, or current.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Small Spotter Directory and its owners, contributors, and service providers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenues, data, or goodwill, arising out of or related to your use of the site or any listing.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold Small Spotter Directory and its owners, contributors, and service providers harmless from any claim, loss, liability, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of your submissions, your use of the site, or your violation of these Terms.

Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the site or remove any listing at any time, with or without notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms or if we decide to discontinue a feature or the site.

Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will update the effective date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.

Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the state in which Small Spotter Directory is operated, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
