Paid Business Directory Website Terms of Use 
These Website Terms of Use for Paid Business Directories are designed for use on websites which provide directory listing services in exchange for a fee. Such sites may be broad ranging, covering a variety of business types; or may be more specific, targeting specific industries or sectors.
This document has been recently updated and now includes a clause prohibiting scraping and text and data mining, practices commonly used in the development and training of AI models. The clause is designed to ensure that such activities are a direct breach of the website’s terms of use. It is also recommended that technical measures be taken to further protect a website’s content from scraping and text and data mining.
While it is expected that more users of such websites are likely to be businesses rather than consumers, these Terms of Use nevertheless cater for both business users and consumer users.
This document is designed for use with a counterpart set of terms of sale. This template applies to the use of your website itself, leaving the terms governing the sale of paid directory listings to a separate document.
These Terms of Use are designed for acceptance through use. When a user visits your website, they are deemed to have accepted the terms of use. Optional wording in this template also allows for the terms to be accepted as part of the sign-up process on your website.
Optional provisions in these Terms of Use also cover free directory listings which may or may not be supported by third-party advertising (also available via optional provisions in the template). Other key provisions govern user accounts, intellectual property ownership, linking, disclaimers, legal rights, liability, acceptable usage, privacy, and data protection.
Optional phrases / clauses are enclosed in square brackets. These should be read carefully and selected so as to be compatible with one another. Unused options should be removed from the document.
