Disclaimer
Last updated:
Important: Nearby Contacts is a community-driven directory. We make reasonable efforts to verify listings, but we do not guarantee the accuracy, availability, or quality of any service provider listed on this platform.
1. Nature of the service
Nearby Contacts acts solely as a directory connecting users with third-party businesses, individual service providers, and public helplines. We are not the provider of any service, product, or advice listed on the platform and do not act as an agent, employee, or partner of any listed entity.
2. No endorsement or warranty
A "Verified" or "Premium" badge indicates that we have completed basic verification steps (such as phone verification and manual review) at the time of listing. It is not an endorsement, recommendation, or guarantee of the provider's competence, quality, safety, legality, licensing, pricing, or timeliness. Listings are provided on an "as-is" basis without warranties of any kind.
3. Your responsibility
You are responsible for exercising your own judgement before engaging any listed party. We strongly recommend:
- Independently verifying credentials, licences, and insurance.
- Confirming prices, scope of work, and terms in writing before payment.
- Reading ratings and reviews — but treating them as opinion, not fact.
- Avoiding payment to unknown parties until the service is delivered.
4. Emergency helplines
Emergency numbers displayed in the app (police, fire, ambulance, women's safety, etc.) are sourced from publicly available records and may change without notice. Do not rely solely on this app in a life-threatening emergency. Always know your local emergency numbers independently.
5. User-generated content
Listings, reviews, ratings, descriptions, and photos may be submitted by users or third parties. Nearby Contacts does not pre-screen every piece of content and is not liable for any user-generated content. If you see inappropriate, fraudulent, or misleading content, please report it through the in-app report feature.
6. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Nearby Contacts, its founders, employees and affiliates are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages — including personal injury, property damage, loss of money, or loss of data — arising from your use of the platform or your dealings with any listed third party. Any disputes that arise are strictly between you and the listed party.
7. Location accuracy
Distance and location information is approximate. Map pins, working hours, and service radii are supplied by listing owners and may be inaccurate or outdated.
8. Third-party links
Some listings contain links to external websites, social media pages, or WhatsApp numbers. Nearby Contacts is not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or availability of any third-party site or service you reach through such links.
9. Changes to this disclaimer
We may update this disclaimer from time to time. Significant changes will be announced in-app or on this page. Continued use of the platform constitutes acceptance of any updated terms.
