Terms

For everyone

• FamilyLocale is a guide to family-friendly places, events and kid businesses. We check places by hand, but details change: hours, prices and rules can be out of date. Check with the place before you go.
• You are responsible for your family’s safety. We share what we know so you can decide, but we can’t promise any place, event or business is right for your kids.
• Be kind and honest. No spam, ads, hate, threats, or private details about other people (like a home address or phone number).
• We may remove anything, or close an account, that breaks these rules or puts kids or families at risk.
• The site is offered as it is. As far as the law allows, we aren’t responsible for losses that come from using it or from places, events or businesses listed on it.
• We may update these terms. If we make a big change, we’ll say so on the site. California law applies.

For families

• Your account is free. Keep your sign-in emails to yourself; anyone with the sign-in button or code can get into your account.
• Tips, notes and events you send in are checked before they show. Share only what you saw yourself. By sending them, you let us show them on the site and in our emails.
• Kid businesses are run with a parent or guardian, who must be at least 18 and handles every message. Deals between families and kid businesses are between them; we only help you find each other.
• You can delete your account any time from your account page.

For businesses

• A basic listing is free. Every place must pass our family checklist, and we decide what is listed. Paying never buys a place onto the site or changes family tips.
• To claim a page you must own or manage the business. We may call to check.
• Changes and photos you send are checked before they show. Only send photos you own or have permission to use, and no photos where a child can be recognized without a parent’s OK. By sending them, you let us show them on the site, in our emails and when we share the site.
• Events you add are checked before they show, like everyone’s.

Featured listings

• Featured is $49 a month, or $490 a year. The first 20 businesses get a founding price of $29 a month (or $290 a year), which stays the same for as long as they stay Featured.
• It renews every month, or every year if you pay yearly, on the same card until you cancel. Payments are handled by Stripe; we never see your full card number.
• Cancel any time from your business page. You stay Featured until the end of the month or year you paid for. We don’t refund partial months or years.
• Featured places are labeled as paid (Sponsored). They show first in their lists and may appear on the home page and in the weekly email. We don’t promise a number of visits or customers.
• If a Featured place stops passing the family checklist, we may take it down and refund the unused time.
• We may change the price with 30 days’ notice by email. Founding prices stay as promised.
