Terms of Use

This website ("Site") is an independent editorial, informational, and community-awareness publication about the SouthPark district of Charlotte, North Carolina. The Site is not a real estate brokerage, licensed advisor, contractor, travel agency, financial institution, or professional services provider, and does not transact business with visitors. No content constitutes an offer, solicitation, listing, appraisal, or invitation to enter into any transaction.

All content is provided for general informational purposes only and must not be relied upon as legal, financial, tax, investment, accounting, real estate, brokerage, mortgage, appraisal, insurance, engineering, construction, architectural, medical, safety, employment, educational, or travel advice. You should consult appropriately licensed professionals before making any decision. No content creates a client, agency, fiduciary, partnership, employment, joint venture, or professional advisory relationship of any kind.

THE SITE AND ALL CONTENT, DATA, MATERIALS, LINKS, GRAPHICS, IMAGERY, AND FUNCTIONALITY ARE PROVIDED "AS IS," "AS AVAILABLE," AND "WITH ALL FAULTS," WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, CURRENCY, QUIET ENJOYMENT, SYSTEM INTEGRATION, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, TIMELY, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS.

We make a continuing good-faith effort to research, verify, and update the information published here. Nevertheless, information may be incomplete, outdated, estimated, rounded, summarized by automated tools, mis-transcribed, or superseded by changes we have not yet captured. Statistics, prices, square footage, school attendance zones, tax rates, drive times, hours of operation, ownership, membership terms, and availability change frequently.

You agree that any reliance on Site content is at your sole risk and that you will independently verify all information with the applicable primary source — the business, municipality, agency, brokerage, school district, or licensed professional — before acting on it. We assume no duty to update any content and may modify, replace, or remove content at any time without notice.

The Site references, describes, links to, and features third-party businesses, brands, venues, developments, professionals, and websites. Such references are provided strictly as general information and editorial context. They do not constitute endorsement, sponsorship, certification, verification of licensure or insurance, guarantee of quality, warranty of performance, or a representation of suitability.

We do not control third-party websites or their content, privacy practices, or security, and we disclaim all responsibility for them. Any dealings you have with a third party — including any purchase, engagement, contract, membership, reservation, or transaction — are solely between you and that third party.

The Site's owners, operators, affiliates, contributors, and advertisers may own, operate, invest in, be commonly controlled with, partner with, receive referral fees or other compensation from, or otherwise maintain business relationships with entities referenced on the Site, including featured partner firms. Content may therefore be promotional in nature and should not be treated as independent, unbiased, or comparative evaluation. See the Advertising & Affiliate Disclosure for details.

All text, layout, design, compilation, graphics, imagery (including AI-generated imagery), selection, arrangement, and code on the Site are owned by the Site operator or its licensors and are protected by United States and international copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. You are granted a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to view and print pages for personal, non-commercial use.

You may not, without prior written permission:

• reproduce, republish, syndicate, mirror, or redistribute Site content;
• scrape, crawl beyond ordinary search-engine indexing, harvest, or bulk-download content;
• use content to train, fine-tune, or ground machine-learning or generative-AI systems;
• frame, hotlink, or present content in a manner that misattributes its source;
• remove or obscure any copyright, trademark, or proprietary notice;
• use content for commercial purposes, including resale or lead generation.

Third-party names, logos, and marks appearing on the Site are the property of their respective owners and are used for identification and editorial reference only, which does not imply affiliation or endorsement.

You agree not to:

• access the Site by automated means that impose unreasonable load;
• probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Site or breach its security;
• introduce malware, or interfere with the Site's operation or other users' access;
• use the Site for any unlawful, deceptive, defamatory, harassing, or infringing purpose;
• misrepresent your identity or affiliation in connection with the Site;
• attempt to reverse engineer or derive the source of any part of the Site.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE SITE OPERATOR OR ITS OWNERS, OFFICERS, MEMBERS, MANAGERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, CONTRIBUTORS, LICENSORS, AFFILIATES, ADVERTISERS, OR SUCCESSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR RELIANCE DAMAGES; LOST PROFITS; LOST BUSINESS OR OPPORTUNITY; DIMINUTION IN VALUE; TRANSACTION LOSSES; PROPERTY DAMAGE; REPUTATIONAL HARM; PERSONAL INJURY; OR LOSS OF DATA, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR ACCESS TO, USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE THE SITE OR ANY CONTENT, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, WARRANTY, STATUTE, OR OTHERWISE, AND EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

IN ANY EVENT, OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SITE SHALL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US $100.00). SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN EXCLUSIONS OR LIMITATIONS; IN THOSE JURISDICTIONS OUR LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Site operator and its owners, affiliates, contributors, licensors, and advertisers from and against any claims, demands, actions, damages, losses, liabilities, judgments, settlements, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to your use of the Site, your violation of these Terms, your violation of any law or third-party right, or any decision you make in reliance on Site content.

You knowingly and voluntarily assume all risk arising from your use of the Site and any action taken in reliance on its content, and you release the Site operator and the parties described above from all claims arising from such use or reliance. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code § 1542 and any similar law in any jurisdiction.

Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to the Site or these Terms shall be resolved exclusively by final and binding individual arbitration administered in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, under the Consumer Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, rather than in court, except that either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court.

You and the Site operator each waive the right to a trial by jury and the right to participate in a class, collective, consolidated, or representative action. Claims must be brought within one (1) year after the claim arises or they are permanently barred.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Subject to the arbitration provision above, the exclusive venue for any permitted judicial proceeding is the state and federal courts located in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there.

We may revise these Terms at any time; the version posted when you access the Site governs your use. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance. If any provision is held unenforceable, it shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary and the remaining provisions remain in full force. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. These Terms, together with the other policies in the Legal Center, constitute the entire agreement between you and the Site operator regarding the Site.

This Site intentionally provides no contact form, telephone number, chat, or other submission mechanism, and does not solicit or accept unsolicited ideas, materials, or personal information. The single address published in the DMCA policy exists solely to receive statutory copyright and legal notices and is not a general inquiry channel. Do not attempt to transmit confidential information to this Site; any material nonetheless transmitted is deemed non-confidential and non-proprietary.
