Welcome to St. Pete Biz. These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of stpetebiz.com (the “Site”) and the directory, listing, advertising, promotional, and other services made available through the Site.

By accessing or using the Site, registering for an account, submitting a business listing, purchasing a service, or otherwise using our services, you agree to these Terms.

If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

1. About St. Pete Biz

St. Pete Biz provides an online community resource and business directory that helps users discover businesses and professionals in and around the St. Petersburg, Florida area.

The Site may provide free and paid business listings, featured listings, advertising opportunities, promotional services, and other business-related services.

2. Eligibility

You must have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement to use paid services or submit information on behalf of a business.

If you use the Site on behalf of a company or other organization, you represent that you have authority to act on its behalf and bind it to these Terms.

3. Accounts

Certain Site features, including submitting or managing listings, may require an account.

You agree to:

  • Provide accurate information;
  • Maintain and update your account information;
  • Keep your login credentials secure;
  • Not share your account in a manner that compromises Site security; and
  • Notify us if you become aware of unauthorized account access.

You are responsible for activity occurring through your account to the extent permitted by applicable law.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or create security, legal, or operational risks.

4. Business Listings

Users may be permitted to submit businesses for inclusion in the St. Pete Biz directory.

By submitting a listing, you represent and warrant that:

  • The information you provide is accurate to the best of your knowledge;
  • You have the authority or lawful basis to submit the information;
  • Your content does not infringe another person’s intellectual-property, privacy, publicity, or other rights;
  • Your listing is not fraudulent, deceptive, defamatory, unlawful, or misleading; and
  • Any images, logos, videos, or other materials you submit may lawfully be used as described in these Terms.

St. Pete Biz may review, edit, categorize, reject, suspend, or remove listings at its reasonable discretion.

Submission does not guarantee publication, placement, ranking, traffic, leads, customers, or sales.

5. License to Listing Content

You retain ownership of content you own and submit to St. Pete Biz.

By submitting content for publication, you grant St. Pete Biz a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, display, format, resize, and otherwise use that content as reasonably necessary to operate, promote, and display the directory and related St. Pete Biz services.

This license continues for as long as the content is used in connection with your listing or our legitimate records, subject to applicable law.

6. Directory Information and Accuracy

St. Pete Biz is a directory and informational resource.

Although we may review or organize listings, we do not guarantee that information concerning any listed business is complete, accurate, current, or reliable.

Businesses may change their addresses, telephone numbers, operating hours, pricing, ownership, services, qualifications, licenses, or other details without notifying us.

Users should independently verify information before relying upon a listing or entering into a transaction.

7. No Endorsement

The inclusion, placement, categorization, recommendation, or featuring of a business does not constitute a guarantee or warranty by St. Pete Biz regarding that business.

Featured, premium, sponsored, or advertising placements may receive greater visibility because the business has purchased promotional services.

Users are responsible for evaluating businesses before purchasing products or services from them.

8. Transactions With Listed Businesses

St. Pete Biz generally provides information that connects users with independent businesses.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, St. Pete Biz is not a party to transactions between Site users and listed businesses.

We are not responsible for the products, services, pricing, representations, conduct, warranties, availability, quality, safety, legality, or performance of independently operated listed businesses.

Any dispute between a user and a listed business should ordinarily be resolved directly between those parties.

9. Free, Featured, and Paid Listings

St. Pete Biz may offer different listing levels, including free and paid or featured options.

Features, placement, duration, and pricing are those displayed or otherwise communicated when a listing or service is purchased.

We may modify future prices, packages, and available features. Changes will not retroactively alter a completed purchase unless otherwise agreed or required by law.

A featured or paid listing purchases promotional placement or additional features only. It does not guarantee search-engine rankings, website traffic, inquiries, leads, revenue, or sales.

10. Advertising

St. Pete Biz may offer banner advertisements, placement advertising, featured promotions, or other advertising opportunities.

Advertisers are responsible for ensuring that advertisements and linked destinations are accurate, lawful, and do not violate third-party rights.

We reserve the right to reject or remove advertising that we reasonably determine is inappropriate, misleading, unlawful, harmful, or inconsistent with the Site.

Unless expressly agreed in writing, advertising does not guarantee any particular number of impressions, clicks, leads, conversions, or sales.

11. Other Business Services

St. Pete Biz may advertise or facilitate website design, search-engine optimization, reputation marketing, digital marketing, hosting/support, or related services.

Specific services may be subject to additional proposals, statements of work, payment terms, timelines, deliverables, or agreements.

Where separate written terms for a purchased service conflict with these Terms, the service-specific written agreement will control with respect to that service.

12. Payments

Prices for paid services will be presented at the time of purchase, quotation, or agreement.

You agree to pay all applicable charges associated with services you order.

Payment processing may be provided by a third-party processor and may be subject to that processor’s terms and privacy practices.

13. Cancellations and Refunds

Unless a specific offer, checkout page, proposal, or written service agreement states otherwise, fees for advertising, promotional placement, completed digital work, or periods of service already provided are non-refundable to the extent permitted by law.

If a service has separate cancellation or refund terms, those terms will control.

Nothing in this section limits any non-waivable rights available under applicable law.

14. Acceptable Use

You may not use the Site to:

  • Violate applicable law;
  • Submit fraudulent or deliberately misleading listings;
  • Impersonate another person or business;
  • Infringe intellectual-property or privacy rights;

  • Attempt unauthorized access to accounts, systems, or data;
  • Scrape, harvest, or systematically extract Site data in a manner that imposes an unreasonable burden on the Site;
  • Interfere with Site operation or security;
  • Send spam or unsolicited communications through the Site; or

No rights are granted except those expressly provided in these Terms.

16. Third-Party Websites

Listings and advertisements may contain links to third-party websites, social media pages, or services.

Following a third-party link is at your discretion and risk.
