Furthermore, I pledge to strive to treat all consumers and patrons with equal respect and fairness by providing good products and good services to consumers or patrons of my business or businesses. I affirm that I will do my absolute best to remedy any situation contrary to the statements above that may arise out of a bad consumer or patron experience provided my business has some fault when a consumer or patron has a legitimate complaint or concern.

Business owners, you, are responsible for upholding and living up to this pledge. We will not do background checks for our members, nor will we be the mediator, arbitrator, or moderator for any of our members or users. However, we do take this pledge very seriously because it is a statement of good will and good intentions to FindTheBiz App and website users (consumers, patrons) and to our FindThebiz Member Community as a whole. As such, it promotes and conveys our commitment to good customer service and good customer experiences that will be had from our business members. It likewise confirms the strong and rigid integrity and the honest and true intentions of the FindTheBiz service to members and users alike.

Therefore, if your business has a well-earned and well-deserved bad reputation, and you don't completely agree and accept our pledge and terms of service, or your business(s) is/are not committed to providing good customer service, you are barred from membership with us. Any business(s) found to be in violation of this pledge, or our terms of service will be removed from our service with no refund or recourse.

FYI: Members, if you happen to receive a harmful or bad testimonial or review and you make amends with the customer, consumer, or patron it is a clever idea to ask them for a good testimonial.

Counter-Notice. If you believe that your Content that was removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing, or that you have the authorization from the copyright owner, the copyright owner's agent, or pursuant to the law, to post and use the material in your Content, you may send a counter-notice containing the following information to the Copyright Agent:

    • Your physical or electronic signature;
    • Identification of the Content that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the Content appeared before it was removed or disabled;
    • A statement that you have a good faith belief that the Content was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or a misidentification of the Content; and
    • Your name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address, a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court in San Francisco, California, and a statement that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement.

If a counter-notice is received by the Copyright Agent, FTB may send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party informing that person that it may replace the removed Content or cease disabling it in 10 business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the Content provider, member or user, the removed Content may be replaced, or access to it restored, in 10 to 14 business days or more after receipt of the counter-notice, at FTB’s sole discretion.
