Reasonable search engine indexing and ordinary browser access are not prohibited by this section.
7. Listing accuracy and reliance
Locentry aims to publish neutral and useful directory information, but we do not guarantee that every listing is complete, current, accurate, or suitable for your purposes.
Use of directory information is at your own risk.
8. Third party content and links
The site may contain links to third party websites and third party content. We do not control and are not responsible for third party sites, services, policies, or content.

10. Intellectual property
The Locentry service, site design, software, branding, layout, text selection, and editorial compilation are protected by applicable intellectual property law.
Except for your own submitted content, you may not copy, republish, distribute, or create derivative works from the site content at scale without permission, except as permitted by law.
