Welcome to KamloopsCity.com.
These Terms of Service govern your access to and use of KamloopsCity.com, including its website, user accounts, profiles, community features, listings, events, local information, advertising, and other services we may provide.
By using KamloopsCity.com, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the site.
About KamloopsCity.com
KamloopsCity.com is an independently operated community information website serving Kamloops, British Columbia.
The site may provide local news and information, community discussions, event information, business and place listings, personalized local information, user profiles, reviews, advertising, and other community-focused services.
KamloopsCity.com is not operated by the City of Kamloops or any other government agency unless a particular page clearly states otherwise.
Eligibility
You must be legally capable of agreeing to these Terms in the jurisdiction where you live.
If you are using KamloopsCity.com on behalf of a business, organization, campaign, or other entity, you confirm that you have authority to act on its behalf.
User accounts
Some features require an account.
You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and for activity that occurs through it.
You agree to provide reasonably accurate information when creating or maintaining an account and not to impersonate another person or organization.
You should notify us if you believe your account has been accessed without authorization.
We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or our Community Guidelines.
Profiles and personal information
Users may be able to create profiles and provide optional information about themselves.
Certain information may be used to personalize the site. For example, a user may choose to provide a home address so KamloopsCity.com can provide location-specific information such as waste collection dates, nearby transit information, road closures, power outages, watering information, or voting locations.
Where a field is identified as private, we will not intentionally publish that information as part of the user’s public profile.
Use of personal information is also governed by our Privacy Policy.
Community content
KamloopsCity.com may allow users to post comments, reviews, messages, submissions, listings, photographs, profile information, or other material.
You retain ownership of content you create.
By submitting content to KamloopsCity.com, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, display, format, distribute, and otherwise use that content as reasonably necessary to operate, promote, and improve KamloopsCity.com.
This licence does not transfer ownership of your content to us.
You are responsible for ensuring that you have the right to submit the content you post.
Community Guidelines
Use of community features is also subject to the KamloopsCity.com Community Guidelines.
Those guidelines form part of these Terms.
We may remove content or restrict accounts when we reasonably believe the Terms or Community Guidelines have been violated.
We are not required to remove content simply because another user disagrees with it or finds it offensive.
Business, place, and event submissions
Users, businesses, organizations, and event organizers may be able to submit or claim listings.
You agree that information you submit will be reasonably accurate and not intentionally misleading.
Submitting information does not guarantee that it will be published.
We may edit listings for spelling, formatting, categorization, clarity, consistency, or accuracy.
We may also merge duplicate listings, correct obvious errors, remove outdated information, or decline submissions that do not fit the purpose of the site.
A listing on KamloopsCity.com does not constitute an endorsement of the listed business, organization, event, person, or service.
Reviews and ratings
If review features are available, reviews should reflect genuine experiences or honestly held opinions.
You may not post fabricated reviews, review your own business without disclosure, organize review manipulation, or accept compensation for misleading reviews.
Businesses may disagree with reviews and may be given an opportunity to respond.
We do not guarantee that every review is accurate.
Paid listings and advertising
KamloopsCity.com may offer sponsored listings, promoted content, advertising, memberships, or other paid services.
Paid placement does not necessarily represent an endorsement.
Sponsored or advertising content may be identified as such where appropriate.
Prices, features, billing periods, and cancellation terms will be provided when a paid service is purchased.
Unless otherwise required by law or stated at the time of purchase, fees already paid are generally non-refundable once the paid service has been provided.
We may change future pricing or features, but changes will not retroactively alter an already completed purchase.
Advertisers
Advertisers are responsible for the accuracy, legality, and appropriateness of their advertisements.
We may reject or remove advertisements at our discretion, including advertisements that are misleading, unlawful, discriminatory, fraudulent, or inappropriate for the site.
