2. Changes to Terms

Localismo.pt reserves the right to modify or replace these Terms at any time, at its sole discretion and without prior notice. The updated Terms will be published on this page with a revised effective date. Your continued use of the Platform after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms. It is your responsibility to review these Terms periodically.

3. Account Cancellation

Localismo.pt reserves the right to suspend, restrict, or permanently cancel any account, with or without notice, if the account holder is found to be in violation of these Terms, engaging in fraudulent activity, publishing false or misleading content, abusing other users, or otherwise acting in a manner that is harmful to the Platform, its users, or its reputation.

4. Development Phase & Service Availability

Localismo.pt is currently operating in a development phase. During this period, the Platform may experience technical malfunctions, downtime, data inconsistencies, feature limitations, or other interruptions. By using the Platform during the development phase you acknowledge and accept these limitations. No claims, refunds, or compensation will be accepted or entertained in relation to any service disruption, malfunction, data loss, or unavailability occurring during this phase. We will endeavour to minimise disruptions but cannot guarantee uninterrupted service.

5. Data Backup & Loss of Information

Localismo.pt operates an automatic backup system that stores copies of platform data both locally and in external off-site storage. While we make reasonable efforts to maintain data integrity, no claims will be accepted in the event of data loss, corruption, or unavailability, howsoever caused, including but not limited to hardware failure, software error, third-party service failure, cyberattack, or force majeure. Users are encouraged to maintain their own records of any critical information submitted to the Platform.

6. Self-Service Platform

Localismo.pt is a self-serve platform. Users are responsible for creating, managing, and maintaining their own listings, profiles, and account settings.
