Terms of Service

1. The service

Fenceside is a neighborhood community platform: local trades (jobs, buy & sell, housing, cars, real estate, business) organized by area, and community boards organized by country. By using Fenceside you agree to these Terms.

2. Accounts and nicknames

You must be at least 13 years old. You sign in with email, Google, or Apple. On first sign-in you choose a unique nickname (handle); your real name is never displayed. Nicknames cannot be changed once set, so choose carefully. You are responsible for activity under your account.

3. Your content

You keep ownership of the posts, comments, and photos you publish. You grant Fenceside a worldwide, royalty-free license to host, display, and distribute that content as part of operating the service. You are responsible for your content and must have the rights to publish it.

4. Trades are between users

Fenceside is a venue, not a seller, employer, landlord, or agent. Listings, prices, and arrangements are solely between the users involved. We do not verify listings and are not a party to any transaction. Meet in public places and use your judgment.

5. Paid posts and fees

Some trade boards charge a flat posting fee, shown before you pay (currently: Jobs $15, Housing $15, Real estate $49, Business for sale $49 per post). A paid post stays published for 30 days. Fees are paid on this website through Stripe; our apps do not sell posts. Posting fees are non-refundable once a post is published, including posts we remove for violating these Terms or our Content Policy. If a technical error on our side prevents your post from being published after you paid, we will refund the fee in full. The same applies if your paid post never goes live because it does not pass the pre-publication review described in our Content Policy: we will refund the fee in full. Removing your own post early does not entitle you to a refund. All trade-board posts, paid and free, are removed 30 days after posting; community posts do not expire. We may change fees for future posts; the fee shown at checkout is the fee you pay.

6. Business directory

Businesses may list themselves in the Directory. Listings must be accurate and for a real business. We may remove listings that are misleading or inactive.

7. Acceptable use

Your use must follow our Content Policy, which is part of these Terms.

8. Moderation and termination

We may remove content, or suspend or terminate accounts, that violate these Terms or the Content Policy, or to protect users and the service.

9. Disclaimers and liability

The service is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by law, LexLocal LLC is not liable for user content, transactions between users, or indirect or consequential damages.

10. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, USA.

11. Changes

We may update these Terms; the current version will always be posted on this page with its effective date.
