By accessing or using Providence Downs Guide (the "Site"), you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.
Independent editorial resource
Providence Downs Guide is an independent informational website about the Providence Downs and Providence Downs South communities. The Site is not the official website of, and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or representing, the Providence Downs HOA, any club or governing body, the community's developer, or any municipal authority. All community names, trademarks, and references belong to their respective owners and are used descriptively.
Informational content, not professional advice
Content on the Site — including community information, buying and selling guides, construction and design commentary, market observations, school notes, and neighborhood comparisons — is provided for general informational purposes only. It is not, and should not be relied upon as, legal, tax, financial, real estate, appraisal, construction, or other professional advice. Always consult a licensed professional before acting on information you read here.
No offer or solicitation
Nothing on the Site constitutes an offer to sell, a solicitation of an offer to buy, or a recommendation regarding any real estate transaction. Property availability, price, and terms are subject to change without notice. Any listing or property reference is provided for context only and may be inaccurate or out of date.
Third-party links & referrals
The Site links to independent third-party resources — including trusted local real estate, construction, design, and technology providers. We do not control and are not responsible for the content, accuracy, offers, or practices of any linked website. Your interactions with any third party are solely between you and that party.
Acceptable use
- Do not use the Site to violate any law, infringe intellectual property, or harass any person.
- Do not attempt to gain unauthorized access, disrupt, probe, or reverse-engineer the Site.
- Do not scrape, copy, or republish substantial portions of the Site without written permission.
Intellectual property
All content on the Site — text, photographs, illustrations, code, and layout — is owned by Providence Downs Guide or its licensors and is protected by copyright and other laws. You may view and share links to the Site for personal, non-commercial use.
Disclaimer of warranties
THE SITE AND ITS CONTENT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AND FREEDOM FROM ERROR.
Limitation of liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, PROVIDENCE DOWNS GUIDE AND ITS CONTRIBUTORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SITE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Providence Downs Guide, its owners, contributors, and service providers from any claim, demand, loss, liability, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your use of the Site, your violation of these Terms, your violation of any law, or your dealings with any third party referenced on the Site.
Assumption of risk & verification duty
You acknowledge that real estate information changes constantly and that we obtain some content from third-party sources we do not control. You assume all risk of relying on Site content and agree that you are solely responsible for independently verifying any fact material to a decision you make, including through licensed professionals and the applicable recorded documents.
Fair Housing & equal opportunity
The Site is published in compliance with the federal Fair Housing Act and the North Carolina Fair Housing Act. We do not make, and do not permit, statements indicating any preference, limitation, or discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, familial status, national origin, disability, or other protected class. See our Fair Housing statement.
User submissions
The Site provides no contact form, inquiry form, or email sign-up, and we do not solicit user submissions. If you nonetheless send us material by any means, it is provided non-confidentially. You represent that you have the right to send it, and you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use it for operating and improving the Site. We may remove or decline to publish any submission for any reason.
Copyright complaints (DMCA)
We respect intellectual property rights. If you believe content on the Site infringes your copyright, send a notice through the resources listed on our contact page containing: (1) your physical or electronic signature; (2) identification of the copyrighted work; (3) identification of the material claimed to be infringing and its location on the Site; (4) your contact information; (5) a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized; and (6) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the notice is accurate and you are authorized to act. We will investigate and remove infringing material where appropriate, and we accept counter-notices under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g).
Electronic communications
We do not collect email addresses or phone numbers through this Site and do not send marketing messages, newsletters, or automated texts. Any communication you initiate with an independent business linked from this Site is governed by that business's own terms and privacy policy, not ours.
Termination
We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Site, or restrict your access, at any time and without notice. Sections intended to survive termination — including disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and dispute resolution — survive.
Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina, without regard to conflict of law principles.
Dispute resolution; binding arbitration; class-action waiver
Please read this section carefully — it affects your legal rights. The parties will first attempt to resolve any dispute informally by contacting one another and negotiating in good faith for at least 30 days. If unresolved, any dispute arising out of or relating to the Site or these Terms shall be resolved by final and binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, seated in Union or Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. You and Providence Downs Guide each waive any right to a jury trial and to participate in a class, collective, consolidated, or representative action. Either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court instead. If the class-action waiver is held unenforceable, this arbitration section is void in its entirety, and exclusive venue for any dispute lies in the state or federal courts located in Mecklenburg County or Union County, North Carolina.
Time limit on claims
To the fullest extent permitted by law, any claim arising out of or relating to the Site must be filed within one (1) year after it arises, or it is permanently barred.
Severability & entire agreement
If any provision is found unenforceable, it will be limited or severed to the minimum extent necessary and the remaining provisions stay in full force. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, and Legal Disclaimer, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Site.
Changes
We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the Site after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
