Terms of Service

Last updated: July 11, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By creating an account or using Localyst, operated by Cloudburst Studio [legal entity name and address to be confirmed] (“Localyst,” “we,” “us”), you agree to these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy.

2. Description of Service

Localyst lets users build and share a list of service providers they personally recommend, and lets business owners claim and manage the profile created when a customer lists them. Listing a business is an endorsement — Localyst does not support ratings, reviews, or negative feedback.

3. Accounts

You're responsible for the accuracy of the information you provide and for keeping your account credentials secure. You must be at least 18 years old to create an account.

4. User Conduct

Listings, notes, and messages must be accurate and made in good faith. You may not add a business you don't genuinely recommend, impersonate another person or business, or use Localyst to send spam, harassment, or unlawful content.

5. Business Claiming and Verification

A business profile is created automatically when a user adds a provider to their list. The person or people who actually run that business can claim the profile by verifying ownership of the business phone number, using a one-time code delivered by text message or, as an alternative, an automated phone call that reads the code aloud.

6. Messaging Program Terms

By providing your phone number to claim a business, you consent to receive an automated text message or phone call from Localyst for the purpose of verifying your business claim, and to receive account and service-related notifications (for example, alerts about a new message or lead) going forward.

  • Message frequency varies based on your use of the service.
  • Message and data rates may apply.
  • Reply STOP at any time to opt out of text messages, or HELP for help.
  • Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
  • This messaging program is not shared with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

7. Intellectual Property

You retain ownership of the content you post. By posting content on Localyst, you grant us a license to display it as part of operating the service (for example, showing your public list or a business profile).

8. Disclaimers

Localyst is provided “as is.” We don't vet, endorse, or guarantee the quality of any business listed on the platform — listings reflect one user's personal recommendation, not a review or rating from Localyst.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the extent permitted by law, Localyst is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the service.

10. Termination

You may stop using Localyst and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms.

11. Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms from time to time. We'll update the “Last updated” date above when we do.

12. Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
