1.Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using localview.live (the "Site") or any of its features, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use ("Terms"). If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you must not use the Site.

These Terms apply to all visitors, registered users (tourists and businesses), and any other persons who access the Site.

2.Description of Service

LocalView is a real-time destination hub for the Central Pacific corridor of Costa Rica, covering Playa Jacó, Playa Herradura, and Playa Hermosa. The platform provides:

  • Live and buffered video feeds from participating business locations
  • Merchant profiles with information, menus, photos, and contact options
  • Direct connection tools between tourists and local businesses (WhatsApp, phone, directions)
  • Discovery features to help visitors decide what to do and where to go in real time

3.User Accounts

3.1 Types of Accounts

LocalView offers accounts for two types of users: Tourists (general visitors) and Businesses (merchant partners). Each account type has different access levels and permissions.

3.2 Account Registration

To create an account, you must provide accurate, current, and complete information. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account.

3.3 Business Accounts

Businesses that register on LocalView as merchant partners agree to additional terms as outlined in their individual merchant agreement. Submission of business information, menus, photos, and other content implies authorization for LocalView to display that content on the platform.

3.4 Account Termination

LocalView reserves the right to suspend or terminate any account at its sole discretion, including for violations of these Terms, fraudulent activity, or conduct deemed harmful to other users or the platform.

4.Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the Site to:

  • Violate any applicable local, national, or international law or regulation
  • Impersonate any person or entity or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity
  • Upload, post, or transmit any content that is unlawful, defamatory, obscene, or otherwise objectionable
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Site or its related systems
  • Use automated tools (bots, scrapers, crawlers) to extract content from the Site without prior written consent from LocalView
  • Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Site or its services
  • Use the Site for any commercial purpose not expressly authorized by LocalView in writing

5.Live Camera Feeds and Video Content

5.1 Nature of Video Content

LocalView may display live video streams and short-duration buffered recordings from cameras installed at participating business locations. These feeds are sourced from fixed-angle cameras positioned in public-facing areas such as dining areas, beach-facing terraces, bars, and surf zones. No audio is transmitted or recorded.

5.2 Buffer Recordings

To maintain service continuity in the event of a camera interruption, LocalView may retain short-loop video buffers (typically a few minutes in duration) on its servers. These buffers are used solely to display recent footage when a live feed becomes temporarily unavailable and are not retained for long-term storage or any other purpose.

5.3 Privacy in Camera Areas

Cameras are positioned to capture the general atmosphere of business locations and not to focus on individual patrons or private spaces. LocalView requires all participating businesses to post visible signage notifying customers of the presence of cameras. By entering a camera-equipped area, individuals acknowledge that they may appear in publicly accessible video feeds.

5.4 No Guarantee of Availability

Live feeds are provided on a best-effort basis. LocalView does not guarantee the continuous availability, quality, or accuracy of any video feed. Feeds may be interrupted, delayed, or temporarily replaced by buffered content without notice.

6.Merchant Content and Third-Party Information

Information displayed in merchant profiles — including menus, photos, hours of operation, and pricing — is provided by the business owners themselves. LocalView does not verify the accuracy of this information and is not responsible for errors, omissions, or outdated content. Users are encouraged to confirm details directly with the business before visiting.

7.Intellectual Property

All content on the Site created by LocalView — including but not limited to the platform design, logo, interface elements, and original text — is the property of Local View Limitada and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

User-generated content (such as merchant photos and descriptions) remains the property of the respective merchant partner. By submitting content to the platform, merchants grant LocalView a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to display, reproduce, and distribute that content in connection with the platform.

You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, or create derivative works of any content on the Site without prior written permission from LocalView.

8.Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

The Site and its content are provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Local View Limitada shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages — including loss of data, revenue, or goodwill — arising from your use of or inability to use the Site or its features.

LocalView is not responsible for any decisions made by users based on information found on the platform, including business visits, purchases, or activities.

9.Links to Third-Party Services

The Site may contain links or integrations to third-party services, including Google Maps, WhatsApp, and other external platforms. These services are governed by their own terms and privacy policies. LocalView has no control over and assumes no responsibility for the content, practices, or availability of third-party services.

10.Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Costa Rica. Any disputes arising out of or in connection with these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts of Costa Rica.

11.Changes to These Terms

LocalView reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Continued use of the Site after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. We encourage you to review these Terms periodically.
