Locals Thrive Tagline

Terms of Service

Effective Date: October 2, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are an agreement between you and Logols LLC, a Michigan limited liability company, which operates Detroit Community Thrive ("we," "us," or "our"). They cover your use of our website at detroitcommunitythrive.com and our iOS and Android apps (together, the "Service"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree to them, do not use the Service.

1. Who May Use the Service

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service and at least 18 years old to create a business account, accept a business invitation, or receive a referral payment. You may hold one personal account. The information you give us when you sign up must be accurate, and you are responsible for everything done through your account, so keep your password to yourself and tell us promptly if you believe someone else has used it.

2. Your Content

The Service lets you post content — comments, community posts, event submissions, business listings, photos and messages to us (together, "Your Content"). You keep ownership of Your Content. By posting it you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, display, reproduce and distribute it for the purpose of operating and promoting the Service, and you confirm that you have the rights needed to grant that licence.

You are responsible for Your Content. We do not pre-screen most of it, and content posted by other users is theirs rather than ours — we do not endorse it.

3. Acceptable Use — Zero Tolerance for Objectionable Content

We have zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive behaviour on the Service. You agree not to post, submit or transmit anything that:

  • harasses, bullies, threatens, stalks or intimidates any person;
  • attacks or demeans a person or group on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, disability, age, sex, gender identity or sexual orientation, or otherwise constitutes hate speech;
  • threatens, glorifies or incites violence, or promotes self-harm;
  • is pornographic, sexually explicit, or sexually exploits or endangers a minor in any way;
  • is defamatory, fraudulent, deceptive, or impersonates another person or business;
  • is unlawful, promotes illegal activity, or infringes anyone's copyright, trademark, privacy or other rights;
  • is spam, a scam, a pyramid or referral-abuse scheme, or unsolicited commercial solicitation;
  • discloses another person's private information — a home address, phone number, financial details or anything comparable — without their consent;
  • contains a virus, malware, or anything intended to disrupt or gain unauthorised access to the Service or its users.

You also agree not to scrape or bulk-collect content or user information from the Service, to circumvent its rate limits or access controls, to use another member's account, or to use the Service to interfere with anyone else's use of it.

4. Reporting and Blocking

Every comment, community post and user-submitted event carries a Report control. Use it if you see something that breaks section 3. Reports reach us directly and every one is reviewed. Content that violates these Terms is removed once we have reviewed it, and a report describing a threat to someone's safety is dealt with ahead of anything else.

You can also Block any account from the same place, which hides that account's comments, posts and event submissions from you. Blocked accounts are listed on your profile page, where you can unblock them at any time.

If you believe content on the Service is unlawful rather than simply objectionable, please tell us through the Contact page so we can act on it properly.

5. What We Do About Violations

We may remove any content, and suspend or terminate any account, at our discretion and without prior notice, where we believe these Terms have been broken. Content that violates section 3 is removed when we find it, and the account that posted it may be suspended or permanently removed. Serious cases — in particular anything involving a threat to someone's safety or the exploitation of a minor — may also be reported to law enforcement.

If your account is terminated for a violation, you may not create another one.

6. Copyright Complaints

If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, send a notice to our designated agent at jmackie1722@gmail.com with the subject line "DMCA Notice", including: your contact details; identification of the work you say is infringed; identification of the content on the Service you want removed, with enough detail for us to find it; a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorised; a statement that the information in your notice is accurate and that, under penalty of perjury, you are the owner or authorised to act for the owner; and your signature, which may be electronic.

We remove content that is the subject of a valid notice and may terminate the account of a repeat infringer. If your content was removed and you believe that was a mistake, you may send a counter-notice to the same address.

7. Business Accounts, Promotions and Payments

If you claim or are invited to manage a business listing, you confirm that you are authorised to act for that business. Promotional offers, cashback and referral payments are subject to the terms shown with each offer at the time it is made. We may correct, reverse or withhold a payment that resulted from an error, a duplicate claim, a reversed sale or abuse of a promotion. Amounts owed to you are paid to the account details you provide, and it is your responsibility to keep those details accurate.

Where a purchase is made through the Service from a local business, your agreement for the goods or services themselves is with that business. We are responsible for the Service, not for what a business delivers.

Taxes. Referral earnings and other amounts we pay you are your income, and you are responsible for any tax on them. Where United States tax law requires it, we may need a completed Form W-9 (or the applicable equivalent) before we can pay you, and we may be required to report what we paid you to the tax authorities and send you a Form 1099. We may withhold a payment until we have the information we need to make it lawfully.

8. Your Account and Your Data

You may download a copy of your data or delete your account at any time from your profile page. How we handle your information is set out in our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms. Deleting your account does not oblige us to delete content that has become part of a public discussion, nor records we must keep by law, as described in that policy.

9. Third-Party Content and Links

The Service includes content from third parties — news headlines, event listings, scores, weather and traffic data, and links to other sites. We do not control it and are not responsible for its accuracy or for what happens on a site we link to.

10. Service Availability and Changes

We may change, suspend or discontinue any part of the Service, and we do not guarantee that it will always be available or free of errors. The Service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, to the fullest extent the law allows.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any lost profits, data or goodwill, arising out of your use of the Service. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Service is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim or five hundred United States dollars (US$500).

That limit does not apply to, and nothing in these Terms limits our obligation to pay you:

  • referral earnings or cashback balances we owe you;
  • a refund due for an order you paid for through the Service and did not receive;
  • liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, gross negligence, or wilful misconduct; or
  • death or personal injury, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded.

12. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claim, loss or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of Your Content or your breach of these Terms.

13. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Michigan, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute relating to these Terms or the Service will be brought in the state or federal courts located in the State of Michigan, and you and we each consent to the jurisdiction of those courts.

Nothing in this section stops either of us from bringing a claim that qualifies in a small-claims court, including one in the county where you live.

14. If You Use Our iOS App

These Terms apply to your use of our iOS app, and the following applies to that use in particular:

  • These Terms are between you and Logols LLC only, not with Apple Inc. ("Apple"). We, not Apple, are solely responsible for the app and its content.
  • We grant you a non-transferable licence to use the app on any Apple-branded product you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in Apple's Media Services Terms and Conditions.
  • Apple has no obligation to provide any maintenance or support for the app. We are solely responsible for it.
  • We are solely responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied. If the app fails to conform to any warranty that applies, you may notify Apple and Apple will refund any purchase price you paid for it; to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation at all, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to a failure to conform to a warranty are our responsibility.
  • We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claim by you or a third party relating to the app or your use of it, including product liability claims, any claim that the app fails to conform to a legal or regulatory requirement, and claims arising under consumer protection, privacy or similar legislation.
  • If a third party claims the app or your use of it infringes their intellectual property, we, not Apple, are solely responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement and discharge of that claim.
  • You represent and warrant that you are not located in a country subject to a United States Government embargo or designated as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not on any United States Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
  • You must comply with any applicable third-party terms of agreement when using the app.
  • Questions, complaints and claims about the app should be sent to Logols LLC at jmackie1722@gmail.com, or through our Contact page.
  • Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.

15. General

If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest stays in force. Our not enforcing a provision is not a waiver of it. You may not transfer your rights under these Terms; we may transfer ours to a successor in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of assets. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and the terms shown with any particular offer, are the whole of the agreement between us about the Service.

We may contact you by email about your account, your orders and these Terms, and you agree that those communications satisfy any requirement that a notice be in writing.

16. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms. When we do, we will post the revised version on this page and update the Effective Date above, and we will give notice of a material change by email or a prominent notice on the Service before it takes effect. Continuing to use the Service after a change takes effect means you accept the revised Terms.
