Terms of use
Last updated: 10 November 2026
1. Who we are
bizportel.com is operated by BizPortel ("we", "us"). It is an online business directory: businesses publish a profile and buyers search, view contact details and send enquiries. By using the site you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use it.
2. Accounts
You must be at least 18 and give accurate details. Keep your password and two-factor codes secret; you are responsible for activity on your account. Tell us at [email protected] if you think someone else has access. We may suspend accounts that break these terms or put others at risk.
3. What you may not do
- Publish false, misleading, unlawful or infringing content, or impersonate a person or business.
- Copy the directory or its contact details in bulk, or use them for unsolicited marketing or spam.
- Upload malware, or try to disrupt, probe or bypass the security of the site, including through the API.
- Post fake or incentivised reviews, or use several accounts to get round limits.
4. Business profiles and content
If you publish a profile, product, document or image you confirm it is accurate and that you have the right to publish it. You keep your rights and give us a non-exclusive, worldwide licence to host, display, translate and promote it on the site and in search listings, for as long as it is published. New listings may be reviewed before they go public, and we may edit, hide or remove content that breaks these terms. Only an authorised representative may claim or manage a business.
5. Verification badges
A badge shows that a registration or tax number, document or ownership claim was checked on a stated date, using the method shown on the profile. It is not a guarantee of quality, financial strength or trustworthiness, and it can expire or be withdrawn. Do your own checks before trading.
6. Contact details and enquiries
Contact details are shown to signed-in users with a confirmed email, and the business can see who viewed them. Use them only to deal with that business about its products or services. Enquiries and requests for quotation are shared with the businesses you send them to, who are responsible for their own replies. We are not a party to any deal between users and do not handle orders, payments or delivery between them.
7. Reviews
Reviews must reflect your own experience and may be moderated. We may remove reviews that are abusive, unlawful, fake or off topic. Businesses may reply but may not pay for or pressure reviewers.
8. Paid plans
Paid plans add features to a business profile for a set period. Prices are shown before you order and exclude tax unless stated; tax is added at the rate that applies to the invoice. A plan starts when payment is confirmed and ends at the end of its period; it does not renew automatically. You may return to the free plan at any time, but fees for the current period are not refunded unless the law requires it or we failed to provide the service. When a plan ends, items above the free limits are hidden, not deleted, and return if you upgrade again. Paid plans never change search ranking; sponsored placements are labelled.
9. Our rights
The site, its design, software and compiled directory belong to us or our licensors. These terms do not give you any rights in them except to use the site as intended.
10. Availability and disclaimer
We work to keep the site available and accurate but provide it "as is". Profiles are written by businesses, so we cannot promise that every statement is complete, current or error free. Nothing here limits rights you have under consumer law that cannot be excluded.
11. Liability
To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, lost profit or lost business, or for dealings between users. Our total liability for any claim relating to the site is limited to the fees you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or the minimum the law requires if higher. We do not exclude liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or anything else that cannot be excluded by law.
12. Ending use
You can stop using the site and ask us to delete your account at any time through the Privacy centre. We may suspend or end access if you break these terms, with notice where reasonable. Sections that by their nature should survive (such as 9, 11 and 14) continue after that.
13. Changes
We may update these terms. We will change the date above and, for significant changes, tell signed-in users by email or notice. Using the site after a change means you accept it.
14. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the country where BizPortel is established, and the courts there have jurisdiction, without taking away mandatory consumer rights you have where you live.
