Terms of use
The terms for using Manchester Picks: lists that are an editorial opinion, not professional advice, business pages and paid plans, fair use and liability.
These terms
These terms cover every use of Manchester Picks (manchesterpicks.co.uk), free lists of businesses in and around Manchester. By carrying on using the site, you agree to them.
An editorial opinion, not advice
Each list is our editorial opinion of which local businesses are worth considering and in what order. It is not legal, medical, financial, technical or any other professional advice, and it is no promise about any business’s work, prices, safety or availability.
We don’t do the work
Manchester Picks does not carry out jobs, treat patients, give quotes, book appointments or take money from readers. Whatever you arrange, you arrange directly with the business, and any contract, guarantee or finance deal is between you and them.
How the lists are put together
From public information about each business, what its customers say about it, what it publishes about itself and the questions on our ‘How we select’ page. Pro gives a business a fuller page and Top a highlighted place on a list it was already chosen for. Both carry a label, and neither is a check or an endorsement by us.
Check before you rely on it
We revisit the lists, but numbers, addresses, prices and opening hours change. Confirm the details with the business, get quotes in writing and check any registration the work calls for.
Business pages
Owners who claim a listing are telling us they are allowed to manage it and that whatever they add is true, lawful and not misleading. We may correct or take down content that is not. Plan prices and renewal terms appear in the business area before any payment, which Stripe processes.
Fair use
Please don’t break the law through the site, scrape the lists with bots, try to reach parts that are not open to the public, impersonate another person or business, or send us false details.
Our content
The writing, the choice and order of businesses, the design and the name of Manchester Picks are ours or licensed to us. Quoting a short passage with a link back is fine. Copying more needs our written agreement.
Liability and law
Where the law says liability cannot be excluded, these terms do not try to exclude it. Otherwise, we answer for neither the work, goods or advice of listed businesses nor the content of websites we link to. These terms follow English law, and readers in Scotland or Northern Ireland may also bring a claim in their local courts. We may revise them, and the wording shown here on the day you visit is what counts.
