Terms of Service
Last updated: October 22, 2026
These terms are an agreement between you and Townmore Inc. ("Townmore", "we", "us"). They apply to www.townmore.com, its subdomains and the Townmore app. By creating an account or using Townmore you accept these terms and our Privacy Policy.
1. Accounts and eligibility
-
Age: you must be at least 18 to use Townmore.
-
Accurate information: give accurate information and keep your email address current.
-
Your account: keep your password safe; you are responsible for what happens on your account. We recommend turning on two-step verification.
-
One person per account: don't share your account. Don't create accounts to get around a ban or a limit.
-
Entities: if you create or act for an entity (a business or organization), you confirm you're allowed to act for it. Its members act on its behalf according to the roles it gives them.
2. Listings
-
Categories: you can list items for sale, services, jobs, housing, events and classes.
-
Accurate listings: describe what you list accurately. Only list what you have the right to offer, at the price and terms you show.
-
Rights to your content: you keep ownership of your content. You give Townmore a license to host it, show it, and adapt it for display (for example resizing photos) while it is on Townmore.
-
Our role: Townmore is a place to meet. Unless a page says otherwise, we are not a party to the deals made through listings. We do not process payments between members, hold money, inspect items, or vet members.
3. Offers and applications
-
Offers:
-
An offer is a real proposal to buy at the amount and quantity you state. You have one active offer per listing; making a new one updates it.
-
The seller can accept, decline or counter. When an offer is accepted, the quantity is reserved for you.
-
The deal is complete when both sides mark it complete.
-
Applications (services, jobs, housing, events, classes):
-
The listing owner may ask questions, and you choose which contact details to share and whether to attach a resume.
-
What you submit is shown to the listing owner and, for an entity, to its members who have permission.
-
The owner decides whether to accept, and may limit the number of places.
-
Ratings:
-
After a completed deal, each side may rate the other once.
-
A rating stays hidden until both sides have rated, or until 14 days after completion.
-
Ratings must be honest and about the transaction.
-
Withdrawing: you can withdraw an offer or application before it is completed. Repeatedly backing out of accepted deals may lead to limits on your account.
4. Prohibited content and conduct
Do not post, send or do any of the following on Townmore:
-
Illegal items or services, or anything that breaks the law where you or the other person are. That includes weapons, drugs, counterfeit goods, stolen property and recalled products.
-
Fraud and scams: fake listings, bait-and-switch, phishing, asking for payment by untraceable methods, or deals moved elsewhere to get around our rules.
-
Harassment and hate: harassment, threats, hate speech, or content that sexualizes minors.
-
Spam: spam, repeated unwanted messages, or mass unsolicited ads.
-
Other people's information or rights: their personal information without permission, or anything that infringes their copyright, trademark or privacy.

6. Points

-
Not money: points are not cash or property, and they can't be withdrawn, exchanged for money or sold outside Townmore.

Bought points are non-refundable except where the law requires, or when your payment provider refunds or reverses the payment.

If a payment is refunded or reversed, we remove the points it bought.
-
Earning rules: we may change how points are earned.
-
Removing points: we may remove points obtained by mistake, fraud or abuse.
