Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Oriental Store Directory UK website and any information or services we provide through it. Please read them carefully because accessing the directory means you agree to the obligations below.

Last updated: 27 May 2024

Acceptance of terms

By viewing, downloading or otherwise interacting with the directory you confirm that you are at least 16 years old and that you have the authority to accept these Terms on behalf of yourself or your organisation. If you disagree with any part of the Terms you must stop using the site.

Permitted use

The directory is intended for individuals, communities and professionals who want to discover Asian grocery retailers. You may browse, bookmark and share individual listings for planning purposes. Systematic copying of the database, automated scraping, or any use that degrades site performance or misleads shoppers is prohibited unless we grant written permission.

Directory content

We review each listing before publication, but store details may change without notice. All information is provided on an "as is" basis and should be verified directly with the retailer before you travel or place an order. We do not warrant that the site will always be accurate, available or error-free, and we are not responsible for losses that result from relying on the listings.

Submissions & licence

When you submit content (including corrections, reviews, media or spreadsheets) you confirm that it is accurate to the best of your knowledge, that you have the right to share it, and that it does not infringe the rights of others. You grant us a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive licence to edit, host, reproduce and publish that content on this website, in data exports, or in promotional materials for the project. Please avoid submitting sensitive personal data.

Prohibited conduct

  • Interference: Attempting to compromise the site’s security, availability or integrity.
  • Misrepresentation: Presenting the directory as an official partner or using the branding without consent.
  • Bulk extraction: Scraping or harvesting listings for resale, marketing databases or unsolicited communications.
  • Unlawful activity: Using the directory to harass, defame or break any applicable laws or regulations.

Links & third-party services

Listings contain links to third-party websites, delivery apps and social channels that we do not control. Visiting those sites is at your own risk. We do not endorse, monitor or assume responsibility for third-party content, products or privacy practices.

Disclaimer & limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Oriental Store Directory UK disclaims all warranties, express or implied, regarding the site and its content. We are not liable for any indirect, consequential or special damages, lost profits, loss of data or business interruption arising out of your use of the directory. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount (if any) you paid us in the twelve months prior to the claim.

Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Oriental Store Directory UK, its contributors and volunteers from any claims or damages arising from your misuse of the site, your submissions, or your breach of these Terms.

Changes & availability

We may modify the site, suspend features or update these Terms at any time. When we make material updates we will revise the date at the top of this page, and continuing to use the site after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of those changes.

Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and disputes will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales, unless overridden by mandatory law in your country of residence.
