Advertising Terms & Conditions
These Advertising Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern the use of Choowi’s advertising services, including the creation and management of business listings. By accessing and using Choowi’s advertising services, you agree to abide by these Terms. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, please refrain from using Choowi’s advertising services.
- Acceptance of Terms and Conditions By using our advertising services, you acknowledge that certain features of our platform rely on Google APIs. Please review Google’s Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, which govern the use of these APIs within our platform:
Your use of our platform indicates acceptance of both our advertising terms and Google’s policies. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, please discontinue your use of Choowi’s advertising services.
- Definitions Throughout these Terms:
- “Advertiser,” “You,” and “Your” refer to users accessing Choowi’s advertising services.
- “The Company,” “Ourselves,” “We,” “Our,” and “Us” refer to Choowi.
- “Party,” “Parties,” or “Us” refer to both the Advertiser and Choowi, or either the Advertiser or Choowi.
- Advertising Services and Use of APIs Choowi’s advertising services may utilize application programming interfaces (APIs), including but not limited to the Google Places API, to assist Advertisers in creating and managing their listings. Advertisers acknowledge that Choowi may prefill listing form fields with data obtained from these APIs for convenience and efficiency. However, it is the sole responsibility of the Advertiser to verify the accuracy of the prefilled data before submitting their listing.
- Data Handling and Ownership Data obtained through APIs is provided for the Advertiser’s convenience and is only stored after it has been verified by the Advertiser. Once the Advertiser submits their listing, the data becomes their property. Choowi does not pre-fetch, index, store, or cache any content obtained through APIs except as permitted under the terms of our agreement with the API provider.
- Becoming an Advertiser and Claiming Listings Certain users, referred to as “local contributors,” can add business listings to the directory without strict consent from the business owner. These businesses will be notified and given the option to claim or remove the listing. Users can request to become local contributors to help grow our platform and include businesses they frequently use. This allows them to check-in to win at their favorite businesses. By claiming a listing, the business owner becomes an Advertiser and agrees to these Terms.
- Responsibilities of the Advertiser By using the Choowi advertising services, you agree to:
- Review and verify all data prefilled in your listing form before submission.
- Ensure that all information provided in your listing is accurate, up-to-date, and complies with our content guidelines.
- Abide by all applicable laws and regulations governing advertising and business promotion.
- Limitation of Liability To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Choowi excludes all representations, warranties, and conditions relating to the advertising services provided. Choowi is not liable for any loss or damage arising from the use of the advertising services or reliance on data obtained through APIs.
- User Check-Ins User check-ins on the Choowi Platform provide an opportunity for users to engage with business listings and participate in promotional activities. Choowi may offer raffle tickets and instant win prizes funded by Choowi, which may not necessarily be associated with the listed businesses. While Choowi encourages user participation in these activities, Advertisers acknowledge that Choowi is not responsible for any inaccuracies in check-in data or prize information. Choowi reserves the right to manage prize giveaways and promotional activities associated with user check-ins at its discretion.
- Modifications to Terms Choowi reserves the right to update or modify these Advertising Terms & Conditions at any time without prior notice. Advertisers will be notified of changes to the Terms, and continued use of Choowi’s advertising services implies acceptance of the most recent version of these Terms.
