Terms of use

Hot Local Business ("HLB") is a brand of Max Digital Edge LLC, a Nevada limited liability company ("MDE," "we," "us," "our"). These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your use of hotlocalbusiness.com (the "Site"). By using the Site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.

The Site describes HLB and MDE services. It is not an offer, and nothing on it creates a contract to provide services. Access to the HLB platform (including app.hotlocalbusiness.com, apps and API access) and any MDE membership or services is governed by the separate agreement you accept when you sign up (the "Membership Agreement"). If these Terms conflict with the Membership Agreement, the Membership Agreement controls for the HLB platform and services.

Features, availability, integrations and pricing described on the Site may change, may be described before they are released, and may not be available to every customer. Examples and descriptions on the Site are not promises of any result, including leads, bookings, sales, reviews or revenue.

You must be at least 18 and able to form a binding contract to use the Site. If you use the Site for a business, you confirm you are authorized to act for it.

You may not:

• use the Site in violation of law or anyone's rights;
• access, scrape, crawl or copy the Site by automated means, except search engines indexing public pages under our robots.txt;
• probe, scan or test the Site's vulnerability, or interfere with its operation or security;
• introduce malware, or attempt to access accounts, systems or data you are not authorized to access;
• misrepresent your identity or affiliation, or frame or mirror the Site; or
• use Site content to build a competing product or train machine-learning models without our written permission.

The Site and its content, including text, graphics, logos, the HLB and MDE names and marks, and software, are owned by MDE or its licensors and protected by law. You may view and print Site pages for your own internal evaluation of HLB. No other right or license is granted.

If you send us feedback or suggestions, we may use them without restriction or compensation.

The Site links to and may describe third-party platforms and services. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content, policies, availability or performance. Your use of them is governed by their terms.

Our Privacy Policy at https://hotlocalbusiness.com/legal/privacy explains how we handle information collected through the Site.

THE SITE AND ITS CONTENT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, MDE DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF CONTENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE OR ERROR-FREE.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, MDE AND ITS OWNERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA OR BUSINESS, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SITE. MDE'S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SITE WILL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100). THESE LIMITS DO NOT APPLY TO LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, AND THEY DO NOT AFFECT THE MEMBERSHIP AGREEMENT.

You will defend, indemnify and hold harmless MDE and its owners, officers, employees, contractors and agents from third-party claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of your misuse of the Site, your breach of these Terms, or your violation of law or third-party rights.

11.1 Informal resolution. Before filing a claim, contact us at legal@maxdigitaledge.com and try to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days. This period pauses any filing deadline.

11.2 Arbitration. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Site will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules or, if you are an individual using the Site primarily for personal, family or household purposes, its Consumer Arbitration Rules (including their fee provisions). Either party may instead bring an individual claim in small-claims court if it qualifies. Venue is Clark County, Nevada, unless the parties agree otherwise or the applicable rules provide for a different location or a remote hearing.

11.3 Class action waiver. You and MDE each waive any right to bring or take part in a class, collective or representative action.

11.4 Opt-out and non-waivable rights. You may opt out of this Section 11 by emailing legal@maxdigitaledge.com within 30 days after you first use the Site, with your name and a statement that you opt out of arbitration. Nothing in this Section waives any non-waivable statutory remedy or right to seek public injunctive relief. Any claim for public injunctive relief will be severed and decided in court after the arbitrable claims are resolved. Disputes about the HLB platform or services are resolved under the Membership Agreement.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Nevada, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. This does not take away any protection you have under mandatory laws of the place where you live.

We may change these Terms by posting a new version on this page with a new "Last updated" date. Changes take effect when posted and apply to your later use of the Site. Changes to Section 11 do not apply to claims that arose before the change was posted. We may change, suspend or discontinue any part of the Site, or restrict your access, at any time. If any provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them. These Terms are the entire agreement about the Site.
