In general
To use, access, leave a review or subscribe your business to this website, then you must agree to these terms and conditions.
City-Advisor cannot be held responsible for the pricing, quality or competence of any services or goods supplied by advertisers displayed on or linked to our pages.
Reviews of businesses and service providers published on City-Advisor are the individual opinions and views of their author. Neither City-Advisor nor its owners will be held liable.
Business listings
City-Advisor holds no responsibility for the accuracy of any published listing information.
City-Advisor offers free listings for which there are no charges as well as optional paid listing options.
To use this service a business must have a trading address for each business listing displayed. This is defined as a physical or virtual business centre address. Any fake or false location will result in a listing not being approved or being removed.
Free listings will display business location and contact information. Other third party advertising may be displayed on the same page.
Signing up for a Business Listing will require us to capture information as well as have a means to communicate with you. Examples include system emails such as sending work enquiries, password resets and other essential emails in order to for your business listing to be displayed and be fully operational. All information is collected and held in line with current General Data Protection Regulations. Select here to view our privacy policy.
Free listings are by their very nature part of a free service and we reserve the right to limit the number of listings per company, remove or ban if abuse is suspected. If you have or represent clients with multiple branches (minimum 10+), then we are happy to bulk upload your data for you. Please contact us to find out more information.
For paid listing options companies are entering into a paid agreement with City-Advisor, and we will display the business details on our database for the duration of the agreement.
By accepting these terms and conditions, you agree that you hold the relevant copyright to all images, logos and text that you place on our website and you are authorised to display any approved Trademark. Failure to comply with these conditions may result in City-Advisor taking legal action in the event of any dispute.
Lifetime listings will be displayed on City-Advisor until either the customer requests either verbally or in writing to have their listing removed. Or if contact details go out of date then the lifetime listing may be removed from the database.
By signing up to any type of listing on City-Advisor the customer must understand that City-Advisor will send an automated email every 12 months to confirm address and email details. This email will contain a confirmation link and will be sent to the email address we have for their listing. It is a customer’s responsibility to ensure any email contact details are kept-up-to date.
If a business listing's details cannot be confirmed within 90 days of receiving an automated confirmation email then that listing will be removed from our public database. If we have no contact from this listing within 12 months, then it will be automatically deleted from our system. If a new listing is required after this time, then the customer will be considered as a new customer and charges will apply for any paid listings.
A lifetime listing is only valid for as long as the mylocalservices.co.uk website remains online or City-Advisor Ltd remains in business.
City-Advisor reserves the right to exclude or remove any business listing, either free or paid from the database at any time. Examples include business no longer trading, adult related services such as erotic massages and escort services, complaints regarding obscene material and illegal business practices.

Business reviews
The reviews of businesses and service providers published on City-Advisor are posted by third parties and do not represent the opinion of City-Advisor or its owners.
City-Advisor assumes no responsibility for or is otherwise legally responsible for remarks posted upon this website by third parties even if those remarks are defamatory.
City-Advisor asks third parties to follow guidelines such as not leaving defamatory or abusive comments. City-Advisor will take all reasonable measures to ensure only appropriate opinions are published by means of human or automated intervention, but will not partially edit or censor opinions. Opinions deemed inappropriate will be deleted. The final decision as to what is deemed appropriate and shall be allowed to be published on the website will lie with City-Advisor.
The reviewer must leave their name and telephone number when adding a review. You may decide to allow your name to be displayed publicly or you can remain anonymous. But we will need your name and telephone number to allow any review moderation. Your details will remain confidential and will only be used by a City-Advisor member of staff to verify your review. Any review left with false details or without a name or phone number will be deleted.
Reviews are moderated and any perceived libel abuse or profanity will be deleted and will not go live
If there is an issue with any particular comments or review then contact us, state the business name concerned and outline the issue. City-Advisor are not a legal body and will act in what it believes to be the correct manner, unless ordered to do otherwise by an official legal representative.
Businesses will have the right to reply to any reviews left for their business listing. This can be done by logging into your listing editor. This means the business has the final say on any review left.
We will not remove negative reviews simply because a business asks us to. We may ask for proof of use of a service such as an invoice if a business doubts the authenticity of a reviewer. If it is deemed to be a fair review by our customer services staff, then the comments will stand. In this case simply leave a right to reply to explain the situation. You can also enhance this by encouraging positive reviews from your customers to give a balanced picture.
If a business demands that their listing is removed in order to remove any negative reviews, then that listing will be deleted completely, meaning any third party links to it or search engine indexing will be lost. If the listing is a paid listing including lifetime listings then there will be no refund due. The business will be subject to an exclusion period before being able to relist their services.
