Shop Local Delmarva LLC Last updated: 23 September 2026 These terms cover shoplocaldelmarva.com, the Shop Local Delmarva app, our printed magazine, and Shop Local Delmarva membership. By using any of them you agree to what follows. If you do not agree, please do not use them. We are Shop Local Delmarva LLC, a Maryland limited liability company. Contact us at justin@shoplocaldelmarva.com or 443-669-6501.
1. What we provide
Shop Local Delmarva connects people on the Delmarva Peninsula with local businesses, through a printed magazine, a website, a mobile app and a community group. Member businesses appear in our directory, can publish offers and events, and are listed in the service areas they hold. We may change, add to or withdraw features. If a change materially reduces what a paying member receives, we will tell members before it takes effect.
2. Membership
Enrolling
Membership is open to businesses serving the Delmarva Peninsula. We may decline or end a membership at our discretion — for example where a business is not genuinely local, or where its conduct would reflect badly on other members.
What you pay
You pay the rate shown to you when you enrol, plus any service areas or upgrades you add. Rates are per calendar month unless we agree otherwise in writing. We may change rates with at least 30 days’ notice to you.
Automatic renewal
Membership renews automatically each month and your card is charged automatically until you cancel. There is no fixed term. You may cancel at any time, subject to section 3.
We do not prorate
Areas or upgrades you add begin on your next invoice. Areas you drop stay live until the end of the month you have already paid for. We do not issue partial-month refunds.
3. Cancelling
Cancellation requires 30 days’ notice. Your membership stays active, and your listing stays live, through that notice period, and you are charged for it. To cancel, use the cancel option in your member account or contact us. If you cancel and later want to return, you re-enrol as a new member at the rates and availability current at that time. Prior rates, held service areas and category positions are not reserved for you and may have been taken by another business.
4. Payments and failed cards
Payments are processed by a third-party payment processor. By enrolling, you authorise us to charge your chosen payment method on a recurring basis. If a payment fails, the processor will retry the card automatically. We may contact you about the unpaid invoice. If it stays unpaid we may suspend or end your membership and remove your listing. We never see or store your full card number. See our Privacy Policy.
5. Your content
You keep ownership of everything you give us — your business information, logo, photographs, offers and written descriptions. By giving it to us, you grant Shop Local Delmarva LLC a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to publish, reproduce, resize and display that content in the magazine, on the website, in the app, in our community group and on our social media, for as long as you are a member and afterwards in archived issues. You confirm that you own or are licensed to use everything you give us, and that it does not infringe anyone’s rights. You are responsible for what you publish. We may decline or remove content that is unlawful, misleading, offensive, or that we judge unsuitable for a community publication.
6. Offers and coupons
If you publish an offer, you must honour it on the terms you stated, for the period you stated. Offers are between you and the customer. Shop Local Delmarva is not a party to them and is not responsible for honouring them, for the goods or services provided, or for any dispute arising. You must not publish an offer that is misleading, that carries conditions you did not disclose, or that you cannot fulfil.
7. Using the app and the site
We grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the Shop Local Delmarva app and website for their intended purpose. That licence ends when your membership or account ends. You must not:
- copy, modify, translate, reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the app or site, except where law expressly permits it
- rent, lease, sell, sublicense or redistribute access
- scrape, harvest or bulk-copy listings, member details or content
- use the app or site to send unsolicited messages, or for anything unlawful
- interfere with its operation or attempt to gain unauthorised access
- use it to build a competing directory
The app, the site, our name, logo and the arrangement and selection of listings remain our property or our licensors’.
8. Recommendations and community accounts
App users may recommend businesses. Recommendations reflect the opinions of the people who leave them, not ours. We may remove any recommendation we believe is fake, malicious, or placed by a business about itself or a competitor. We may suspend or close a community account that abuses the service.
9. What we do not promise
We provide the service as is. We do not promise a particular number of calls, clicks, customers or sales. Results depend on your business, your offer, your category and your market, and are outside our control. We do not promise the site or app will be uninterrupted or error-free. We do not verify the accuracy of information provided by member businesses, and we are not responsible for dealings between you and a business you find through us. To the fullest extent the law allows, we disclaim all implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.
10. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, Shop Local Delmarva LLC is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost business or lost data. Our total liability to you for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the three months before the claim arose. Some jurisdictions do not allow these limits; where that applies to you, they apply only to the extent permitted.
11. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify Shop Local Delmarva LLC against claims, damages and reasonable legal costs arising from content you gave us, offers you published, your use of the service, or your breach of these terms.
12. Ending your account
We may suspend or end a membership or account that breaches these terms, that fails to pay, or whose conduct harms other members or the community. Where we reasonably can, we will tell you first and give you a chance to put it right. If we end your membership without cause, we will refund any unused portion of the month you have paid for.
13. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. The date above shows when. For material changes affecting paying members we will give at least 30 days’ notice. Continuing to use the service after a change means you accept it.
14. Governing law
These terms are governed by the law of the State of Maryland, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute will be brought in the state or federal courts in Wicomico County, Maryland, and you and we agree to that jurisdiction.
15. General
If any part of these terms is held unenforceable, the rest continues in force. Our not enforcing a right is not a waiver of it. These terms, with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between us about the service.
16. Text messages
The program. Shop Local Delmarva sends text messages to two groups. Community members who ask for them receive coupons, offers from local businesses, and events near them — up to 6 messages a month. Business members receive messages about their own membership: a receipt, a renewal, a payment that did not go through, and notices about their listing.
How you join. You join by ticking the consent box at www.shoplocaldelmarva.com/text-alerts/, when you enter one of our giveaways and tick the text box, when you create an account in the Shop Local Delmarva app, or when you enrol as a business member. The box is never ticked for you. Consent to receive texts is not a condition of membership, of entry, or of any purchase.
Message frequency. Up to 6 messages a month for community offers. Membership messages are sent only when something happens on your account.
Cost. Message and data rates may apply. We do not charge for the messages; your mobile carrier may.
Stopping. Reply STOP to any message and we will stop texting you. Reply HELP for help, or contact us at justin@shoplocaldelmarva.com or 443-669-6501.
Your number. We do not sell or share mobile numbers with anyone for their own marketing. See our Privacy Policy.
Carriers. Mobile carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
