Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Bay of Life Social website and newsletter (the "Service"). By using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

Use of the Service

You may use the Service for your own personal, non-commercial purposes. You agree not to misuse the Service, including by attempting to disrupt it, access it through automated means in a way that burdens our systems, or use it for any unlawful purpose.

Content and intellectual property

The editorial content we publish — articles, curation, and the Bay of Life Social name and brand — belongs to us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual-property law. You may share links to our content, but you may not republish it in full without permission.

Submissions

When you submit a tip, event, recommendation, or other material, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, edit, and publish it as part of the Service. You confirm that you have the right to share what you submit and that it is accurate to the best of your knowledge. We are not obligated to publish any submission and may edit it for length, clarity, or style.

Advertising and sponsorships

Some content may be sponsored or paid for by a business. We label sponsored content as such. An advertising inquiry does not create any obligation on our part until we agree to it in writing.

Third-party links and content

The Service links to third-party websites and businesses we don't control. We're not responsible for the content, products, or practices of those third parties. Inclusion of a place or business is not an endorsement or a guarantee about it.

Disclaimers and limitation of liability

The Service is provided "as is," without warranties of any kind. We work to keep our information accurate and current, but we don't guarantee it is complete or error-free. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect or consequential damages arising from your use of the Service.

Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we'll revise the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of the Service after a change means you accept the updated Terms.
