These Terms of Service govern your use of NepTown. By accessing or using the site, creating an account, or submitting content, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use NepTown.
About the service

Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old to use NepTown. If you are under 18, you should use the site with the involvement of a parent or guardian. By using the site, you represent that you can enter into these terms under applicable law.

Acceptable use
You must not use NepTown to:
- Post false, misleading, fraudulent, or deceptive content.
- Harass, threaten, defame, or incite hatred against any person or group.
- Publish other people's private information without permission.
- Impersonate a person, business, organization, or government body.

Your content
You keep ownership of content you create and submit. By publishing content on NepTown, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, display, reproduce, format, and promote that content in connection with the service. This license ends when the content is removed from the service, except for copies retained in backups or as required by law.
You are responsible for your content and for having the rights needed to post it. Do not upload photos, logos, text, or other material you do not have permission to use. We may remove or edit content that violates these terms or our guidelines, but we are not obligated to review every submission.
Listings and local information
If you submit a business, property, job, marketplace, event, or other listing, you must be authorized to represent the relevant person or organization. The information must be accurate and kept current, including prices, availability, fees, and contact details. Listings may be reviewed, edited, rejected, or removed. Publication does not mean that NepTown endorses the listing or verifies every claim.
Local information can change quickly. Verify important details directly with the business, employer, landlord, organizer, or government office before making a decision or payment.
Community features
Community posts, replies, polls, reviews, and reports must follow our Community Guidelines. We may remove content, restrict features, or suspend accounts to protect users and the platform. Moderation decisions may be reviewed on request, but we do not guarantee a particular outcome or response time.
Advertising and sponsored content
NepTown may display third-party ads, including through Google AdSense, and may offer sponsored or promoted placements. Sponsored content should be identified as such. Advertisers are responsible for their own claims and compliance with applicable law. We may decline or remove advertising that is misleading, harmful, or inconsistent with our guidelines.
Third-party services and links
NepTown links to third-party websites and may rely on third-party services for hosting, email, maps, payments, or advertising. We do not control those services and are not responsible for their content, availability, or practices. Your use of a third-party service is subject to its own terms and policies.
Transactions and disputes between users
NepTown is not a party to agreements between users, businesses, employers, landlords, buyers, sellers, or service providers. We do not guarantee payment, quality, safety, legality, or performance. Use caution when meeting people, sharing information, or making payments, and report suspected fraud through our abuse report form.
Intellectual property
The NepTown name, design, software, and original content are protected by intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or use them commercially without permission, except as allowed by law or through features we provide. Third-party marks belong to their respective owners.
Disclaimer
NepTown is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the extent permitted by law, we disclaim warranties of accuracy, completeness, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components, or that any listing or user content is accurate.
Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by law, NepTown and its operators will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data, opportunities, or goodwill arising from your use of the site or reliance on its content. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the amount you paid NepTown for the relevant service, if any.
Indemnity
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify NepTown against claims, losses, and reasonable costs arising from your content, your misuse of the site, or your violation of these terms or another person's rights.
Suspension and termination
We may suspend or terminate access, remove content, or restrict features if we believe you have violated these terms, our guidelines, or applicable law, or if necessary to protect the service or others. You may stop using NepTown at any time. Some provisions, including ownership, disclaimers, and liability limits, will survive termination.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms to reflect changes to the service or applicable law. The updated date at the top of this page shows the latest revision. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised terms.
