Terms of Service

These Terms are an agreement between you and Bay Web Co Limited trading as List-It ("List-It", "we", "us"). By using List-It (the website, accounts, listings, classifieds and messaging) you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the service.

Last updated: [effective date]. Contact: info@list-it.nz.

1. What List-It is

List-It is a New Zealand directory of businesses and a community noticeboard for secondhand classifieds and local events. We provide the platform; we do not sell the goods listed, we are not a party to deals between users, and we don't guarantee any listing, business, buyer or seller.

2. Accounts

You must give accurate information and keep your login secure. You're responsible for activity under your account. You must be at least 16. We may suspend or close accounts that breach these Terms, the Acceptable Use Policy, or the Classifieds Rules.

3. Business listings & claiming

Directory pages may be created from public NZBN-register data before any owner joins (see /legal/your-listing). If you claim a business, you confirm you're authorised to represent it. Owners are responsible for the accuracy of content they add. We may remove or correct listings that are inaccurate, misleading, or breach these Terms.

4. Your content & licence

You keep ownership of content you post (photos, text, listings). You grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, display, resize, and distribute it on and in connection with List-It (including in search results, schema/structured data, and app versions) for as long as it's posted. You confirm you have the right to post it and that it doesn't infringe anyone's rights. We may use AI to help generate titles, descriptions and alt-text from photos you upload; you can edit these before posting.

5. Acceptable use

You agree to follow the Acceptable Use Policy (/legal/acceptable-use) and, for classifieds, the Classifieds & Marketplace Rules (/legal/classifieds-rules). In short: nothing illegal, misleading, harmful, infringing, or dodgy; no spam; no links, scams or harvesting; treat people decently.

6. Paid plans

Paid business plans and any paid features are governed by the Billing & Plans terms (/legal/billing).

7. Fair Trading Act

You must not engage in conduct that is misleading or deceptive or likely to mislead (Fair Trading Act 1986). Sellers must describe goods accurately.

8. Intellectual property

The List-It name, logo, design, and software are ours (or our licensors'). You may not copy, scrape, resell or systematically extract our database or content except as expressly allowed. Business-register data remains subject to its source terms.

9. Disclaimers

List-It is provided "as is" and "as available". To the extent permitted by law, we don't warrant the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that listings/directory data are accurate, current or complete. We're not responsible for dealings between users or for the goods, services, businesses, or events listed. Where you use List-It for personal, domestic or household purposes, the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 still applies and nothing here limits it. Where you use it for business purposes, you agree the Consumer Guarantees Act does not apply.

10. Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, we (and our directors, staff and providers) are not liable for indirect, consequential, or incidental loss, lost profits, lost data, or loss arising from your dealings with other users. Where we are liable, our total liability is limited to the greater of NZ$100 or the fees you paid us in the 12 months before the claim.

11. Suspension & termination

You can stop using List-It any time and delete your account. We can suspend or end access if you breach these Terms or to protect the service or other users. Sections that by nature should survive (content licence for already-posted content, IP, disclaimers, liability, governing law) survive termination.

12. Changes

We may update these Terms; material changes will be notified to account holders, and continued use means acceptance.

13. Governing law

These Terms are governed by New Zealand law, and the New Zealand courts have non-exclusive jurisdiction.
