Terms of Use

Terms of Use Overview

These Terms of Use explain the basic rules for using the Near Yoga website. They apply to the public directory, user accounts, listings, comments, ratings, saved favorites, and other features connected to the site.

The goal of this page is simple. It explains what users can expect from Near Yoga, what we expect from users, and the limits of how the platform works. By using the website, you agree to follow these terms.

Acceptance of These Terms

When you access or use Near Yoga, you agree to these Terms of Use and any related policies that are posted on the website, including the Privacy Policy where applicable.

If you do not agree with these terms, you should not use the site or its features. If you continue to browse the website, create an account, submit information, or interact with listings, that use will be treated as acceptance of these terms.

We may update these terms from time to time. If that happens, the updated version will be posted on the site.

Who We Are

Near Yoga is a yoga directory. The website is built to help users find yoga studios, teachers, classes, and related businesses, and it also allows business owners or authorized representatives to manage certain listing-related information.

In these terms, “Near Yoga,” “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to the business or team operating the website. “You” refers to any person who visits, uses, submits information to, or creates an account on the site.

Scope of the Service

Near Yoga is a directory platform. The website is meant to help users find yoga studios, teachers, classes, and related businesses by browsing listings and location-based information.

Some parts of the site may allow users to create accounts, save businesses to favorites, leave comments, rate listings, submit new businesses, or claim and update an existing listing. Not every feature may be available at all times, and some parts of the service may change as the website develops.

We try to keep the platform useful and organized, but Near Yoga is still a directory. It does not own or operate the businesses listed on the site unless clearly stated otherwise.

Eligibility to Use the Website

You should only use Near Yoga if you are legally allowed to do so under the laws that apply to you. If you create an account or use any interactive feature, you must provide information that is reasonably accurate and not misleading.

The website is not intended for children under the age of 13, or under the minimum age required by local law where that standard is higher. If you are using the site on behalf of a business or another person, you should have the authority to do that.

If we believe someone is using the website in a way that does not meet these basic eligibility rules, we may limit or remove access where needed.

User Accounts

Some features on Near Yoga may require an account. This can include things like commenting, saving businesses to favorites, rating listings, or managing submitted information. To use those features, users may be asked to sign up with an email address and verify the account.

You are responsible for keeping your login details secure and for activity that happens through your account. If your account information changes, it is your responsibility to update it so it stays accurate.

We may suspend, restrict, or remove accounts that appear to be fake, misleading, abusive, inactive for long periods, or used in a way that breaks these terms or creates problems for the website or other users.

Public Directory Listings

Near Yoga is a public directory, which means the website may display business information such as studio names, addresses, contact details, websites, class types, amenities, images, and other listing-related details that help users understand what a business offers.

Some of this information may come from business owners or authorized representatives. Some may come from public sources, user submissions, corrections, or general directory research. Because of that, a listing may exist on the site even if the business owner did not create it directly.

By using the website, you understand that public listings are part of how the directory works. Information shown on listing pages may be viewed by users, indexed by search engines, and shared through normal web access.

Listing Submissions and Claim Requests

Near Yoga may allow users to submit a new business, suggest edits to a listing, or claim an existing listing. If you use any of these features, the information you provide should be accurate, lawful, and something you have the right to share.

If you claim a listing or request important changes to one, we may ask for reasonable proof that you are the owner, manager, or authorized representative of that business. This may include email verification, business contact confirmation, or other supporting information.

Submitting or claiming a listing does not guarantee that it will be published, changed, or approved exactly as requested. We may review submissions before they go live, and we may refuse, delay, edit, or remove content where needed to keep the directory usable, accurate, and safe.

User Content

Some parts of Near Yoga may allow users to submit content such as comments, reviews, ratings, listing edits, profile details, images, or other information connected to the website.

You remain responsible for the content you submit. That means it should be truthful, lawful, respectful of others, and not misleading. It should also not violate anyone’s rights, including privacy, intellectual property, or reputation.

By submitting content to Near Yoga, you give us permission to store, display, review, moderate, and use that content as needed for operating the website and related features. This permission is limited to running, improving, and maintaining the platform and does not change your ownership of content you have the right to submit.

Reviews, Ratings, and Comments

Near Yoga may allow users to post reviews, give ratings, or leave comments on listings or other parts of the website. These features are meant to help people share useful experiences and opinions in a fair and reasonable way.

If you post a review, rating, or comment, it should be based on a real experience or genuine opinion. It should not be false, abusive, threatening, misleading, or posted just to damage a person, studio, or business unfairly. It should also not be used for spam, promotion, or personal attacks.

We may review, moderate, refuse, remove, or limit reviews, ratings, and comments if we believe they break these terms, create legal risk, or make the platform less trustworthy or harder to manage.

Content Standards

Any content submitted to Near Yoga should be lawful, accurate to the best of your knowledge, and appropriate for a public website. This includes listing details, edits, claim requests, reviews, comments, profile information, images, and similar submissions.

You must not post or submit content that is false, misleading, defamatory, abusive, obscene, hateful, discriminatory, infringing, invasive of privacy, or otherwise unlawful. You also must not submit malware, harmful code, impersonation content, or material meant to manipulate listings, ratings, or user trust.

These standards exist to protect the usefulness of the directory and the people who use it. If content does not meet these standards, we may remove it or take related action on the account or listing involved.

Accuracy of Listings and Directory Content

We try to keep Near Yoga useful and reasonably accurate, but we do not guarantee that every listing or piece of directory content will always be complete, current, or correct. Business details can change, and some information may come from public sources, user submissions, or third parties.

That means things like addresses, contact details, opening hours, class information, amenities, or other listing details may sometimes be out of date, incomplete, or wrong. Users should use their own judgment and contact the business directly when confirmation is important.

Near Yoga is a directory platform, not the operator of most listed businesses. Unless clearly stated otherwise, we are not responsible for how a listed business operates, what it offers, or whether information it provides stays accurate over time.

Third-Party Links and Services

Some parts of Near Yoga may include links to third-party websites or services, such as studio websites, booking platforms, maps, social media pages, or other external tools. These links are provided for convenience or as part of normal directory information.

We do not control those third-party websites or services, and we are not responsible for their content, availability, terms, privacy practices, or how they handle bookings, payments, communications, or data. Once you leave Near Yoga or interact with an outside service, their rules and policies will apply.

Users should review the terms and privacy policies of any third-party service they choose to use.

Intellectual Property

The Near Yoga website, including its overall design, layout, branding, text, original content, features, and platform materials, belongs to Near Yoga or is used with permission where applicable. These materials are protected by copyright, trademark, and other applicable rights.

You may use the website for normal personal or business-related browsing in the way the platform is intended to work. That does not give you ownership of the website, its branding, or its original content.

Business names, logos, trademarks, and other third-party materials that appear in listings remain the property of their respective owners. Their appearance on the site does not mean Near Yoga owns them or has any special endorsement relationship unless clearly stated.

Permitted Use and Prohibited Conduct

Near Yoga is meant to be used for lawful, genuine, and reasonable purposes connected to finding businesses, managing listings, and using normal website features. You may browse listings, create an account, save favorites, post allowed content, and use the site in the ordinary way it is intended to work.

You must not use the website in a way that harms the platform, other users, or listed businesses. This includes things like scraping data without permission, copying large parts of the directory, attempting unauthorized access, posting spam, impersonating others, manipulating ratings or listings, submitting false claim requests, uploading harmful code, or interfering with how the site works.

You also must not use Near Yoga for unlawful, abusive, deceptive, or commercially exploitative behavior that goes beyond normal use of the platform. If your use creates risk, disruption, or misuse, we may take action.

Suspension, Removal, and Termination

We may suspend, restrict, remove, or terminate access to accounts, listings, reviews, comments, or other content if we believe it is necessary to protect the website, enforce these terms, respond to complaints, reduce legal risk, or prevent misuse.

This can happen for different reasons, including false or misleading submissions, repeated violations of the rules, abusive behavior, impersonation, suspicious activity, spam, or attempts to interfere with the platform. In some cases, we may also remove or limit content while we review a dispute, verification issue, or policy concern.

You may stop using Near Yoga at any time. We may also stop offering certain features, remove inactive accounts, or make changes to the service without continuing every feature indefinitely.

Privacy

Use of Near Yoga is also subject to our Privacy Policy. That policy explains how we collect, use, store, and share information connected to the website and its features.

By using Near Yoga, you understand that certain information may be handled according to the Privacy Policy, including information connected to accounts, listings, submissions, comments, ratings, and general website usage.

If there is any conflict between how a feature works and how data is handled, the Privacy Policy should be read together with these Terms of Use so both pages make sense as part of the same website framework.

Disclaimers

Near Yoga is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We try to keep the website useful, stable, and reasonably accurate, but we do not promise that it will always be available without interruption, free from errors, or complete in every detail.

We also do not guarantee the quality, safety, legality, availability, or accuracy of any studio, teacher, class, service, business, or third-party offering listed on the site. Users should use their own judgment and make their own checks before relying on a listing, visiting a business, or making any decision based on directory content.

Nothing on Near Yoga should be treated as medical, health, legal, financial, or professional advice unless clearly stated otherwise.

Limitation of Liability

To the extent allowed by law, Near Yoga and its operators will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or similar losses arising out of or related to the use of the website, the inability to use it, reliance on listing information, third-party services, user content, or interruptions in service.

This includes, for example, losses related to inaccurate listings, business disputes, missed opportunities, data loss, account access issues, technical problems, or actions taken by third-party websites or services linked from the platform.

If the law does not allow certain limits of liability, then those limits will apply only to the extent permitted. In all cases, Near Yoga’s liability will be limited as far as the applicable law allows.

Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms of Use will be governed by the laws applicable to the place where the Near Yoga website is operated, unless another law is required to apply.

If a dispute arises in connection with these terms or the use of the website, it should be brought before the courts or legal authorities that have proper jurisdiction in that location, unless applicable law requires otherwise.

If you want this section to be more specific before publishing, you should replace it with your actual governing law and jurisdiction details, such as the country, state, or city that should apply.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms of Use from time to time if the website changes, if features are added or removed, or if legal or operational reasons make updates necessary.

When we make changes, the updated version will be posted on this page. We may also revise the effective date or provide additional notice where appropriate, depending on the nature of the change.

Your continued use of Near Yoga after updated terms are posted will mean that you accept the revised version, to the extent allowed by law.
