Legal Disclaimers

1. General Disclaimer

CalgaryArea.com is an online business directory designed to help consumers discover and compare local businesses in the Calgary metropolitan area. The information on this Platform is provided for general informational purposes only. While we strive for accuracy, we make no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, about the completeness, accuracy, reliability, suitability, or availability of the information, products, services, or related graphics contained on the Platform.

2. Business Information Accuracy

Business listings on CalgaryArea.com may contain information submitted by business owners, imported from third-party sources (including Google Places), or compiled from publicly available data. We do not independently verify all business information and cannot guarantee that:

• Business hours, contact information, or addresses are current.
• Pricing information is accurate or up to date.
• Services listed are currently offered.
• Ratings and reviews reflect current business performance.
• Businesses are properly licensed, insured, or bonded.

Always contact a business directly to confirm details before making a purchasing decision or visiting a location. For regulated services (electrical, plumbing, gas fitting, etc.), verify that the business holds appropriate Alberta trade certifications.

3. Google Data Disclaimer

Certain business information displayed on this Platform, including but not limited to ratings, reviews, photos, and contact details, is sourced from the Google Places API. This data is provided by Google LLC and is subject to Google's Terms of Service. CalgaryArea.com is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Google. Google ratings and reviews are snapshots and may not reflect the most current data available on Google Maps.

4. Consumer Choice Award Disclaimer

Consumer Choice Award (CCA) winner designations displayed on this Platform are based on publicly available data. CalgaryArea.com is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the Consumer Choice Award organization or CCAI Canadian Consumer Assessment Inc. The CCA badge is displayed for informational purposes only and does not constitute our endorsement or recommendation of any business. For the most current CCA winner information, visit the official Consumer Choice Award website.

5. Comparison Disclaimer

The comparison features on CalgaryArea.com allow users to sort and filter businesses based on available data points such as ratings, review counts, pricing, and years in business. These comparisons are algorithmic and do not represent editorial recommendations or endorsements. Rankings are based solely on the data criteria selected by the user and should not be the sole factor in any purchasing or hiring decision.

6. No Professional Advice

Nothing on this Platform constitutes professional advice — including but not limited to legal, financial, medical, construction, or home improvement advice. The Platform is a directory tool to help you find service providers, not a substitute for professional consultation. Always seek the advice of qualified professionals for matters requiring specialized expertise.

7. Third-Party Links

Business listings may contain links to external websites operated by the listed businesses or other third parties. We have no control over the content, privacy practices, or availability of these external sites. The inclusion of any link does not imply our endorsement or approval. You access third-party websites entirely at your own risk.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, CalgaryArea.com and its operators shall not be liable for any loss or damage — whether direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive — arising from or related to:

• Your use of or inability to use the Platform.
• Any inaccuracies in business listings, ratings, reviews, or pricing.
• Any transactions or interactions between you and businesses listed on the Platform.
• Any loss of data, business interruption, or other commercial damages.
• Any unauthorized access to or alteration of your data.

This limitation applies regardless of the legal theory under which liability is asserted and even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

9. Affiliate & Advertising Disclosure

CalgaryArea.com may in the future contain paid listings, sponsored placements, or affiliate links. Any such paid content will be clearly identified. At the time of this writing, all listings on CalgaryArea.com are unpaid and no business has paid for preferential placement or ranking.
