Terms Of Use
Last Updated: December 25, 2025
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using the Loca website, mobile applications, text messages, text chat bot, chat bots or any related services (collectively, the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you are using the Service on behalf of a company, organization, or other entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity. You must be at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering into contracts. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you may not use the Service.
2. Description of the Service
Loca is a platform that:
- Connects businesses, landlords, property managers, and service professionals (collectively "Businesses/Property Managers") with content creators/influencers ("Creators") for promotional campaigns, and
- Provides property-management and rental tools that allow Property Managers to list rental units, screen and communicate with tenants ("Tenants"), collect rent and security deposits, manage leases, maintenance requests, and other rental-related services.
We are NOT a party to any agreement between Businesses/Property Managers and Creators, nor to any rental agreement, lease, or transaction between Property Managers and Tenants. We do not own, manage, or lease any real property. We simply provide the venue and tools; all contractual relationships and liability remain solely between the users themselves.

B. Creators (aka The Cool Influencer Squad)
You're rolling as your own boss – independent contractor vibes only!
- Every time a Business or Property Manager hooks you up with perks, cash rewards or anything juicy, you gotta shout it from the rooftops with #ad, #sponsored, #gifted, or whatever the law says. Transparency.
- Only serve the real tea – everything you post has to be 100% honest, based on stuff you've actually experienced, legit property facts, or the official promo goodies they gave you.
- Keep the energy sunny and fabulous! We're here to hype things up and make people go "I need to go there now," not to throw shade. Positive vibes only,
- Everything stays squeaky-clean and "G-rated" – think Disney Channel, not late-night cable. No spicy adult stuff, no swearing, no pics that would make grandma clutch her pearls. Keep it kid-friendly and wholesome!
- If you use someone else's music, photo, meme, or anything that isn't yours, make sure you've got full permission or the proper license. No sneaky borrowing – we play fair!
- Rock on, legends! Let's make the internet a happier (and prettier) place and support local businesses.
