GWOC LLC ("GWOC," "we," "us," or "our") operates the GWOC mobile application, gwocapp.com, and related services (the "Service"), which help people discover local communities, businesses, and events. By using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the Service.
These Terms cover everyone who uses GWOC. If your business buys a paid listing, membership, Spotlight, or Community Billboard placement, the Business Listing Agreement shown at checkout also applies to that purchase, and it controls if the two ever conflict on a billing question.
You must be at least 13 years old to create a GWOC account. If you're under 18, you may use GWOC only with a parent or guardian's permission. You're responsible for keeping your account credentials secure and for activity that happens under your account.
GWOC gathers information about local events, businesses, restaurants, nightlife, schools, and activities and presents it by metro and community. Much of that information comes from public sources, from the businesses themselves, or from other users. We work hard to keep it accurate, but we can't guarantee that every event, price, offer, or listing is correct or current. Confirm details with the business or venue before you rely on them.
Businesses, venues, event organizers, and other users are independent of GWOC. We don't run their events, set their prices, honor their offers, or vouch for them. Anything you do with them is between you and them.
You agree not to:
You can delete your account at any time from within the app, or at gwoc-legal.vercel.app/delete-account.html. We may suspend or terminate an account that violates these Terms, and we may remove content that's inaccurate, misleading, out of date, or unlawful.
The Service and everything in it that we created or assembled belongs to GWOC LLC or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. That includes:
You may use the Service for your own personal, non-commercial use. You may share an individual listing or event with a friend the ordinary way, including by using the app's own share options. Everything else, including copying, reproducing, republishing, or distributing our content, requires our written permission.
You may not use the GWOC name, mascot, or logos to identify your own product or service, or in any way that suggests GWOC endorses or is affiliated with you, without our written permission.
Without our prior written permission, you may not:
You keep ownership of what you submit, including yard sale posts, Musicians Corner submissions, event and listing submissions, photos, ratings, and comments. By submitting it, you give GWOC a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, display, reproduce, adapt for formatting, and distribute it as part of operating and promoting the Service. This license ends when you delete the content, except for copies already shared by others and for reasonable backups.
You're responsible for what you submit. You confirm that you have the right to submit it and that it doesn't infringe anyone else's rights.
GWOC is provided "as is" and "as available." We don't guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure, or that the information in it is accurate or complete. To the fullest extent allowed by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
To the fullest extent allowed by law, GWOC isn't liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, or losses arising from errors, outages, or interruptions in the Service, or from the acts of third parties, including businesses, venues, and other users. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Service is limited to the amount you paid GWOC in the 12 months before the claim, or $100 if you haven't paid us anything.
Before starting arbitration, you agree to describe the dispute to us in writing at info@gwocfl.com and give us 30 days to try to resolve it. Most problems can be sorted out this way, and we would rather fix something than argue about it.
If a dispute can't be resolved informally, you and GWOC agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Service will be resolved by final and binding individual arbitration, administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, before a single arbitrator. The Federal Arbitration Act governs this section.
The arbitration is seated in the Florida county where you live, or, if you live outside Florida, in Lake County, Florida, where GWOC is based. Either side may ask for the arbitration to be held remotely, by video or on the documents alone, and the arbitrator should allow it absent good reason otherwise.
You and GWOC each give up the right to a jury trial, and each agree not to bring or take part in any class, collective, consolidated, or representative action. The arbitrator may award relief only in favor of the individual party seeking it, and only as far as that party's own claim requires.
Either side may bring a qualifying individual claim in small claims court instead, and either side may ask a court for an injunction to protect its intellectual property or to stop unauthorized use of the Service. Nothing here stops you from reporting a concern to a government agency.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest stays in force.
We may update these Terms from time to time. We'll update the "Last updated" date above when we do, and significant changes will be announced in the app. Continuing to use the Service after a change means you accept the updated Terms.
Our Privacy Policy explains what information we collect and how we use it. It's part of these Terms.
