Terms of Use

Last updated: September 8, 2026

These Terms of Use govern access to and use of Queen City Guide. By using the site, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

What Queen City Guide Is

Queen City Guide is an independent, curated local publication and directory focused on Cincinnati and the surrounding area. We select what we feature and do not attempt to provide a complete catalogue of every business, event, organization, neighborhood, service, or viewpoint.

Information Is Provided for General Use

Content is provided for general informational and editorial purposes. While we try to keep listings and recommendations useful, we do not guarantee that every detail is complete, current, accurate, available, safe, or suitable for every person or situation.

Business hours, prices, schedules, ownership, addresses, neighborhood conditions, event details, policies, availability, and other facts can change without notice. Verify important information directly with the relevant business, organization, venue, government agency, or other source before relying on it.

No Professional Advice

Nothing on Queen City Guide is legal, financial, medical, tax, real-estate, mortgage, safety, or other professional advice. Any future mortgage, real-estate, moving, or financial content is informational unless a clearly identified licensed professional is providing services under separate disclosures and agreements.

Editorial Judgment and Recommendations

Recommendations, ratings, reviews, neighborhood assessments, family-oriented guidance, and similar content reflect editorial judgment and may be subjective. Inclusion does not guarantee an experience, and omission does not necessarily imply criticism. See our Editorial Standards for more about how we curate the guide.

Third-Party Businesses and Links

Queen City Guide is not responsible for the acts, omissions, products, services, policies, websites, safety practices, representations, or availability of third parties we mention or link to. A link or listing does not make Queen City Guide a party to a transaction between you and that third party.

Accounts

If account features are available, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login information and for activity under your account. Do not use another person’s account without permission or provide false information when creating an account.

User Submissions

If you submit a recommendation, correction, comment, review, photo, tip, message, or other material, you represent that you have the right to provide it and that it does not violate another person’s rights or applicable law.

You grant Queen City Guide a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, edit, adapt, publish, display, and distribute submitted material for operating, promoting, and improving Queen City Guide, unless we agree otherwise in writing. We are not required to publish or retain any submission.

Acceptable Use

You may not use Queen City Guide to interfere with the site, attempt unauthorized access, distribute malware, scrape or overload the site in a manner that disrupts service, impersonate another person, submit unlawful or infringing material, or use the site for fraudulent or abusive activity.

Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise stated, Queen City Guide’s original branding, written content, design elements, compilations, graphics, and other original materials are owned by or licensed to Queen City Guide and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. Third-party names, logos, photographs, and trademarks remain the property of their respective owners.

Sponsored and Commercial Content

Queen City Guide may receive compensation, advertising revenue, affiliate commissions, free or discounted products or experiences, sponsorships, or other consideration. Commercial relationships do not guarantee positive coverage. See our Disclosures & Partnerships page for more information.

Disclaimer of Warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Queen City Guide is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not warrant uninterrupted availability, error-free operation, or that all content will be accurate or suitable for your needs.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Queen City Guide and those involved in operating it will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages arising from use of the site, reliance on its content, dealings with third parties, or inability to access the site.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms of Use as the site changes. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised terms.

Governing Law

These terms are intended to be governed by the laws applicable in the State of Ohio, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, except where another law must apply.
