GOLDEN PAGES - TERMS OF USE - Website Visitors

ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS

By accessing or browsing the Golden Pages website at goldenpages.co, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use the website. These terms apply to all visitors to the website, regardless of whether you hold an account.

These terms should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, also available at goldenpages.co. Separate terms and conditions govern businesses listed on the platform and are agreed to during the business onboarding process. Registered subscribers are subject to their own Terms of Use for Users in addition to these terms.

ABOUT THE PLATFORM

Golden Pages is a business directory platform operated by Chiang Mai Business Network Co., Ltd., based in Chiang Mai, Thailand. The platform provides a searchable directory of businesses and services in and around Chiang Mai for the benefit of local and international users.

PERMITTED USE

As a website visitor, you may use the platform for personal, non-commercial purposes to search for businesses and services listed in the directory.

Regardless of the purpose for which you access the website, you must not:

  • copy, reproduce, scrape, or extract directory content or listing data by automated or manual means for commercial purposes;
  • use the platform to build a competing directory or database of businesses;
  • attempt to access any part of the platform or its underlying systems by unauthorised means;
  • use the platform in any way that could damage, disrupt, or impair its operation; or
  • misrepresent your identity or affiliation when using the platform.

All directory content on the platform is the property of Golden Pages or its member businesses. Unauthorised extraction or commercial use of that content is a breach of these terms and may constitute a breach of applicable law.

If you wish to use the platform for commercial purposes, please refer to our subscription options at goldenpages.com.

ACCURACY OF LISTINGS

Listing information on the platform is provided by member businesses. Golden Pages does not independently verify the accuracy, completeness, or currency of information in listings unless a listing is designated as Curated. For a full explanation of what Curated status means and its limitations, see goldenpages.com/curated-status.

Curated status is not an endorsement of the quality, reliability, or conduct of a business. It reflects administrative compliance at the time of verification only. Free listings have been subject to a basic review of publicly available online content to confirm compliance with our platform standards. We have not verified the registration, licensing, or legal compliance of free-listed businesses.

You are responsible for conducting your own due diligence before entering into any business relationship with a listed business. Golden Pages accepts no liability for loss arising from reliance on listing information, except where that loss results directly from Golden Pages' own acts or omissions.

BUSINESS NOMINATIONS

The platform allows visitors to nominate businesses for inclusion in the directory. By submitting a nomination you confirm that:

  • you have a genuine basis for believing the business operates in or around Chiang Mai;
  • the information you provide is accurate to the best of your knowledge; and
  • you are not submitting a nomination for commercial gain or any purpose other than genuine directory inclusion.

Golden Pages reserves the right to accept, reject, or remove any nomination. Grounds for rejection include, but are not limited to: insufficient or unverifiable information; evidence the nomination was submitted for commercial or competitive purposes; the business does not appear to operate in or around Chiang Mai; or the nomination does not meet our platform content standards.

Submission of a nomination does not guarantee inclusion. Golden Pages may contact the nominated business using the information you provide. By submitting a nomination you consent to this contact being made.

You must not submit false, misleading, or malicious nominations. Doing so may result in your access to the platform being restricted.
