Terms of use
Draft for the pilot: a lawyer has not reviewed these terms yet.
These terms apply when you use Quepos Local. We ask you to accept them when you create an account or apply to list a business.
What the guide is
- A free guide to businesses in Quepos and Manuel Antonio and the offers they publish.
- We don't sell anything to visitors, and we are not a party to what you buy from a business.
- During the pilot, businesses, offers and events marked "Demo" are fictional. Their codes can't be used anywhere.
Offers and codes
- Each offer is made by the business that publishes it. The business sets its conditions and is responsible for honouring it.
- Codes are free. Each one is for one browser, has limited places, is valid until the time shown, and is used only at that business. A code has no cash value and can't be sold or exchanged.
- If a business doesn't honour an offer, tell us: we can pause the offer or remove the business. Your rights as a consumer are against the business, under Costa Rica's Law 7472.
Payments and refunds
- The guide never charges visitors. Anything you pay, you pay to the business, under its own refund and cancellation policy and Costa Rican consumer law. Using an offer doesn't reduce those rights.
- Listing a business is free during the pilot. If that changes, prices and refund terms will be published and agreed with each business before anything is charged.
Information on the site
- Businesses write their own listings. Prices and accessibility notes are shown only when someone checked them, with the date they were checked.
- Opening hours, prices and conditions can change. Confirm with the business before you rely on them, especially for tours and activities.
- Listing a business isn't a recommendation or a guarantee of its quality or safety.
Accounts
- You need to be 18 or older to create an account. Browsing and claiming offers need no account.
- Keep your password to yourself. An account is for one person.
- You can delete your account at any time in My account.
- We may suspend an account that abuses the site, for example by claiming codes in bulk or sending false applications.
Rules for businesses
- You must be allowed to represent the business you apply for or manage.
- Keep your listing true and current. Publish only offers and events you will honour, for the places, dates and conditions shown.
- You are responsible for complying with the laws that apply to your business and your offers, including consumer protection (Law 7472), tourism rules (ICT) and the rules on promoting alcoholic drinks (Law 9047).
- We may edit, pause or remove a listing, offer or event that breaks these rules or could mislead visitors. We'll tell you why.
Fair use
- Don't copy the site's content in bulk, automate claims, try to get around its limits or security, or pretend to be a business you don't represent.
Our responsibility
- We work to keep the site accurate and available, but it is a pilot: it can change, or be unavailable for a while.
- We aren't responsible for what businesses do, or for their products and services.
- Nothing in these terms limits the rights that Costa Rican law gives you as a consumer.
Changes and applicable law
- If these terms change, we'll update the date above; for important changes we'll ask account holders to accept them again.
- Costa Rican law applies.
