Terms & Conditions

These Terms & Conditions govern access to and use of GhanaBusinesses, a Ghana-focused business directory and promotional platform that helps users discover businesses, create accounts, submit listings, manage profiles, request verification, run ads, and engage with directory content.

Last updated: March 29, 2026 Applies to all users, visitors, advertisers, and listers

1. Acceptance of these terms

By accessing, browsing, registering on, or using GhanaBusinesses, you agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions and by any other policies published on the platform, including the Privacy Policy, Disclaimer, and Listing Policy.

If you do not agree with these terms, you should not use the platform.

2. What GhanaBusinesses does

GhanaBusinesses is a directory and visibility platform. It may allow users to create accounts, submit business listings, upload logos and images, publish descriptions, add contact information, receive reviews, request verification, run advertisements, and monitor listing activity.

GhanaBusinesses is not the direct seller, employer, manufacturer, distributor, or service provider of the businesses listed on the platform unless expressly stated otherwise.

3. Eligibility and accounts

You must provide accurate, current, and complete information when creating an account or submitting a listing. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account.

You must not create an account or listing using false identities, misleading contact details, impersonation, or unauthorized information belonging to another person or business.

We may require email or SMS verification, identity confirmation, or additional proof before activating or maintaining an account or listing.

4. Listings, submissions, and business information

Users who submit businesses must ensure that all listing content is lawful, truthful, non-defamatory, non-infringing, and reasonably up to date. This includes names, categories, locations, contact details, social links, descriptions, photos, logos, operating hours, products, services, and FAQs.

You must only publish content that you own or that you have permission to use. By uploading or submitting listing content, you grant GhanaBusinesses a non-exclusive right to host, display, store, resize, format, and promote that content within the platform for directory, marketing, moderation, backup, and operational purposes.

We may edit formatting, correct obvious categorization issues, request clarification, or refuse publication where needed to maintain platform quality and trust.

5. Prohibited conduct

You must not use the platform to:

  • publish false, deceptive, fraudulent, offensive, or unlawful content;
  • submit duplicate listings or spam listings intended to manipulate visibility;
  • upload malware, harmful code, or attempt to disrupt the platform;
  • scrape, harvest, copy, or reuse platform data without authorization;
  • infringe intellectual property or privacy rights;
  • post content relating to prohibited, unsafe, illegal, or regulated goods or services where publication would be inappropriate;
  • abuse reviews, reports, contact forms, ads, or verification systems.

6. Reviews, reports, and user-generated content

The platform may allow reviews, ratings, reports, and other user-generated content. Users are solely responsible for the content they submit.

We reserve the right to moderate, hide, edit, restrict, or remove reviews, reports, comments, media, or other content that appears abusive, misleading, irrelevant, defamatory, duplicated, or contrary to our policies.

Moderation decisions are made to protect the integrity of the platform and may be made with or without prior notice.

7. Ads, promotions, and featured visibility

GhanaBusinesses may offer paid advertising, sponsorships, boosts, featured placements, or other promotional visibility options. Payment for visibility does not guarantee specific business outcomes, leads, sales, or search ranking outside the agreed promotional placement.

We may approve, reject, pause, remove, or reclassify ads that violate platform rules, are misleading, or create legal, reputational, or technical risk.

Where ad metrics such as impressions, clicks, or activity are displayed, those metrics are provided as platform reporting tools and may be subject to fraud prevention, filtering, correction, or verification controls.

8. Verification and trust signals

Any verification badge, approval mark, or trust signal displayed on GhanaBusinesses only means that the platform has completed its own internal review to the extent it considers appropriate at the time.

Verification is not a guarantee of quality, safety, solvency, licensing status, regulatory compliance, or future conduct. Users should still carry out their own checks before doing business with any listed entity.

9. Intellectual property

All platform design, code, text, branding, layout, and non-user platform content belong to GhanaBusinesses or its licensors unless otherwise stated.

You may not reproduce, republish, copy, modify, distribute, or commercially exploit platform content without written permission, except where permitted by law or by the platform for ordinary use.

10. Suspension, removal, and termination

We may suspend, deactivate, restrict, or terminate accounts, listings, ads, or access where we reasonably believe there has been a breach of these terms, abuse of the platform, suspected fraud, policy non-compliance, legal risk, or operational necessity.

We may also remove outdated, duplicate, incomplete, unverified, disputed, inactive, or low-quality listings in order to maintain directory quality.

11. Disclaimers and limitation of liability

The platform is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. While we aim to keep information useful and the service reliable, we do not guarantee uninterrupted availability, total accuracy of third-party content, or that all listings will remain current at all times.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, GhanaBusinesses is not liable for losses arising from reliance on listing information, reviews, ads, availability of services, user conduct, or transactions between users and listed businesses.

12. Changes to the platform or terms

We may update, improve, suspend, or discontinue parts of the platform at any time. We may also revise these Terms & Conditions from time to time. Updated versions become effective once published unless a later date is stated.

Your continued use of the platform after an update means you accept the revised terms.

13. Governing framework and contact

These terms are intended to operate in line with applicable laws and regulations in Ghana. If any part is found unenforceable, the remaining parts continue in effect.
