Terms of Use

About Around Here

Around Here is an independent local information service. It organizes publicly available civic and community information around where you live.

Around Here is not:

• a government agency
• an emergency service
• a law firm or provider of legal advice
• an election authority
• a utility provider

Informational purpose

Information on Around Here is provided for general informational and convenience purposes. Official and source-linked information can change, become outdated, contain errors, or be incomplete. If a matter is consequential, verify it with the applicable official source.

Emergencies

Around Here is not an emergency service. For emergencies, call 911 or the appropriate emergency authority.

Official government, election, and legal matters

For official determinations, rely on the applicable government, election, court, utility, school, or other authoritative agency. Around Here summaries and links are not a substitute for those official records.

Third-party information and links

Around Here links to and organizes information from third-party and official sources. Around Here does not control those external sites and is not responsible for their content, availability, or policies.

Calendar information

Calendar views and exported calendar files are a convenience. Times, dates, cancellations, locations, and deadlines should be verified with the official source when they matter.

Resident submissions and reports

Around Here accepts resident reports from signed-in accounts and accepts correction submissions about possible errors. Submitted information may be unverified. Do not knowingly submit false, unlawful, or abusive material.

Some reports that pass an automated safety check may become visible to other people as unverified resident reports. Other reports may be held for review. A correction submission is logged for follow-up; it does not instantly change published text.

Prohibited use

You may not use Around Here to:

• engage in unlawful activity
• attempt to disrupt or compromise the service
• impersonate another person or organization
• knowingly submit false information
• abuse or harass others through submission systems

Availability

The service may change, be interrupted, or contain errors. Features, coverage, and content can be added, updated, or removed.

Reliance and limits

Do not rely exclusively on Around Here for consequential decisions. Confirm time-sensitive, legal, election, emergency, utility, or official government matters with the linked official source.

Intellectual property

Around Here’s original summaries, arrangement, and site presentation belong to Around Here. Government records, official notices, and third-party articles remain with their publishers. Linking to a source does not transfer ownership of that source.

Changes to these terms

These terms may be updated as the service evolves. The effective date above shows the current version.

Contact

There is no separate public email published on this page. To report a possible error, use Corrections. To submit a local observation, use Report.
