Terms of Service

Agreement

By using CityCheck (citycheck.live), you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, don't use the site.

What CityCheck is

CityCheck is an informational resource. We compile publicly available data about US cities including crime statistics, cost of living, climate data, and local service providers. Our data comes from government sources (FBI, BLS, NOAA) and public records.

Accuracy and limitations

• We strive for accuracy but make no guarantees. City data changes frequently and there may be delays between source updates and our site.
• Safety grades and scores are derived from FBI Uniform Crime Report data using our own methodology. They are not official government ratings.
• Cost of living comparisons are estimates based on BLS data and should not be used as the sole basis for financial decisions.
• Provider listings (dentists, electricians, etc.) are compiled from public directories. We do not endorse, vet, or guarantee any listed provider. Always verify credentials independently.
• CityCheck is not a substitute for professional advice (legal, financial, medical, or otherwise).

Acceptable use

You may use CityCheck for personal, non-commercial research. You may not:

• Scrape, crawl, or bulk-download data from CityCheck without permission.
• Use CityCheck data to build a competing product.
• Misrepresent CityCheck data as your own or as official government data.
• Use automated tools to overload our servers.

API and data access

CityCheck offers public data APIs at /data. API access is subject to rate limits. Commercial use of API data requires prior written permission.

Intellectual property

CityCheck's original content (text, design, code, methodology) is owned by CityCheck. Underlying government data (FBI, BLS, NOAA) is public domain. You may cite CityCheck data with attribution.

No warranty

CityCheck is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We are not liable for decisions made based on our data, downtime, data errors, or any damages arising from use of the site.

Changes

We may update these terms. Changes take effect when posted. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
