Terms of Service
Last updated:
The short version — what you're agreeing to
Use the website and our services in good faith. We work hard to deliver what we promise. Project terms are detailed in your individual engagement agreement — these terms cover the website itself and the general framework.
1. Acceptance of terms
By accessing or using https://suncoastlocal.com (the "Site") or engaging Suncoast Local for services, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the Site or our services.
2. Use of the website
You may use the Site for any lawful purpose. You may not:
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Site
- Scrape or copy content for republication without permission
- Submit false or misleading information through any form
- Use automated tools to send mass form submissions
- Use the Site in a way that disrupts or impairs it for other users
3. Services
Specific services — web design, hosting, SEO, content, AI tools, etc. — are provided under separate engagement agreements that detail scope, timeline, deliverables, and payment terms. These Terms of Service govern only general use of the Site and the framework of our service relationship.
4. Pricing
Prices listed on the Site are starting prices and good-faith estimates. Final pricing for any project will be confirmed in writing before work begins. We reserve the right to update Site pricing at any time, but any project already in progress is governed by the pricing agreed in writing at the time of engagement.
5. Intellectual property
All content on the Site — text, images, logos, code — is owned by Suncoast Local or used with permission. The Suncoast Local name, logo, and brand identity are property of Suncoast Local.
For client work, ownership of deliverables is transferred upon final payment. The specifics are documented in each engagement agreement.
6. No warranties on the website
The Site is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We make no promises about uptime, accuracy, or fitness for any particular purpose regarding the Site itself. (Service-level commitments for client websites we build and host are governed by individual engagement agreements.)
7. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by Florida law, Suncoast Local is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from use of the Site. Our total liability for any claim related to the Site is limited to $100 USD.
Liability for paid services is governed by the individual engagement agreement.
8. Third-party links
The Site may link to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or accuracy of any external site.
9. Termination
We may suspend or terminate access to the Site if you violate these terms or use it in a way that harms us or other users.
10. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, USA. Any dispute will be resolved in the courts of Sarasota County, Florida.
11. Changes
We may update these terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the Site after changes constitutes acceptance.
