2. Intellectual Property and Database Rights

Unless otherwise stated, GO UN LIMITED owns the intellectual property rights, copyright, trademarks, database rights, and layout design of the Website and all materials published on it. This includes but is not limited to: editorial articles, business directories, directories classification, guide rankings, graphic designs, code, stylesheets, and data.

Subject to the licence below, all these intellectual property rights are reserved. You may view, download for caching purposes only, and print pages or other content from the Website for your own personal, non-commercial use.

You must not republish material from this Website, sell, rent, sub-licence, duplicate, copy, or redistribute any content for commercial purposes without our express written consent.

3. Prohibition of Web Scraping and AI Training

The extraction, gathering, copying, or monitoring of any data, directories, rankings, or text from this Website through automated means is strictly prohibited. You agree not to:

  • Use any robot, spider, scraper, crawler, deep-link, or other automated data extraction tool, program, algorithm, or methodology to access, acquire, copy, index, or monitor any portion of the Website.
  • Conduct web scraping, screen scraping, database harvesting, or data mining on the Website for any purpose, including building competing directories, websites, tools, or services.

  • Business standings, operational statuses, and compliance can change rapidly. You must verify all critical details, licensing, and pricing directly with the business, venue, or professional provider before entering into any transaction.
