5. Accuracy of Information & Disclaimer of Warranties

Please verify details directly with the venues

While we strive to provide updated and curated listings for happy hours, food deals, and local events, specials change frequently and are subject to weather, holidays, and management choices without warning. LocalSpecials IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS. WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. We are not responsible for discrepancies, price disagreements, or denied entry at any venue.

6. Limitation of Liability

IN NO EVENT SHALL VECHRON LLC (OPERATING AS LocalSpecials), ITS FOUNDERS, OR CONTRIBUTORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF YOUR USE OF THE WEBSITE, RELIANCE ON THE LISTINGS, OR PARTICIPATION IN ANY DISCOVERED SPECIALS OR EVENTS (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO HEALTH ISSUES, ACCIDENTS, LIQUOR LIABILITY, OR CONFLICTS AT ASSOCIATED ESTABLISHMENTS).

7. Advertising & Subscriptions (Featured & Diamond Partners)

If you purchase a Featured Slot, Diamond Banner, or any other advertising package on LocalSpecials, the following terms apply:

  • Dynamic Pricing: Pricing for advertising slots is not fixed and is subject to change at any time based on demand, market factors, or our sole discretion. We do not guarantee lifetime pricing. If your subscription price changes, we will provide notice before your next billing cycle.
  • Month to month: All advertising subscriptions are billed on a month to month basis. You may cancel at any time, but we do not provide refunds or prorated credits for partial months or previously displayed advertisements.
  • Content Approval: We reserve the right to review, reject, or remove any advertisement, image, or slogan that we determine violates our community standards, is deceptive, or does not fit the aesthetic of our platform.

8. Tickets

Event listings from Ticketmaster and other platforms link to those platforms, which sell the tickets. Tickets bought on a venue's LocalSpecials page are sold by that venue, and the payment goes to the venue's own Stripe account. LocalSpecials provides the ticketing service and charges a service fee, shown in the total before you pay. The venue's refund policy, shown on the event page, governs refunds; the service fee is nonrefundable unless the event is canceled, in which case you are refunded in full. Questions about a charge go to the venue first. LocalSpecials is not responsible for lineup changes, venue door policies, or venue dress codes.

Purchasers must be 18 or older.Some events, passes and tables are 18+ or 21+, as shown on the event page, at checkout, on your ticket and in your confirmation email. For those, you confirm at checkout that everyone in your party meets the age requirement and will bring valid ID. The venue checks ID at the door and may refuse entry to anyone who doesn't meet the requirement or can't show valid ID. LocalSpecials doesn't collect anyone's age or date of birth.

9. Bookings and Packages

Appointments, reservations and packages booked on LocalSpecials are sold by that business, and the payment goes to the business's own Stripe account. Depending on the business, you pay the full price when you book or a deposit, with the rest paid at your appointment. LocalSpecials charges a booking fee on top of what you pay online: $2 or 5% of that amount, whichever is greater, shown as its own line before you pay.

The booking fee is nonrefundable unless the business cancels.If the business cancels, or refunds you in full, you get everything back, booking fee included. If you cancel within the business's free cancellation window, your payment is refunded but the booking fee is not. Late cancellations and no shows aren't refunded, as the business's policy on the booking page says. Failed or duplicate payments are refunded in full.

10. Door Passes and VIP Tables

Cover and Skip the Line passes and VIP table deposits are sold by the venue, and the payment goes to the venue's own Stripe account. LocalSpecials charges a service fee on top, shown before you pay. A pass is good for the night it was bought for, until the time shown on it; it can't be used on another night. Skip the Line gets you past the general line but doesn't override the venue's capacity, ID, dress code or door policies, and the venue may refuse entry under those policies.

A VIP table deposit counts toward the table's minimum spend for that night; the rest of the minimum, plus tax and gratuity as the venue sets them, is paid at the venue. Some tables need the venue's approval: your card is only authorized when you ask, charged if the venue accepts, and released (nothing charged) if it declines or doesn't answer within 24 hours or by the start of the night. Cancellations follow the refund window shown on the table; outside it, the deposit is refunded only at the venue's choice. The service fee is nonrefundable unless the venue cancels the night or your table, in which case you are refunded in full.

11. Donations

Donations on a nonprofit's or church's LocalSpecials page go to that organization through its own Stripe account; LocalSpecials doesn't hold the money. We charge a 3% fee, and you can choose to cover it so the organization receives your full gift. Online giving opens only after we've verified the organization, but the organization, not LocalSpecials, is responsible for how gifts are used and for whether a gift is tax deductible. Your receipt shows the gift and the fee separately, since only the gift may be deductible; ask your tax advisor.

Weekly and monthly gifts repeat until you stop them with the link in your receipt; stopping takes effect before the next charge. Donations are generally final; refunds are up to the organization. A failed or duplicate charge is refunded in full. To report a problem with an organization, email business@localspecials.net.

12. Text Messages (SMS)

LocalSpecials sends text messages to business owners only when they ask: one time verification codes (for example, when adding a venue or confirming a phone number), and, for venue owners who register their phone to text us listing updates, replies to the updates they send. We don't send marketing texts. Message frequency varies; a verification code is a single text. Message and data rates may apply.

Reply STOP to opt out at any time; you'll get one confirmation and no further texts. Reply HELP for help, or email business@localspecials.net. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. See our Privacy Policy for how we handle phone numbers.
