Terms and conditions

1. About Baz Lokal

Baz Lokal (bazlokal.com) is an online directory of small businesses in Mauritius and Rodrigues. It lets visitors find businesses and contact them directly, mainly by WhatsApp, phone or email.

By using the website you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, please do not use the website.

2. Baz Lokal is not a party to your purchase

Orders, bookings, prices, payment, delivery, refunds and after-sales service are agreed directly between the customer and the business. Baz Lokal does not sell anything, does not take payments and takes no commission.

The information on each business page (prices, products, services, opening hours, photos) is provided by the business. We do our best to keep the directory accurate but cannot guarantee that every detail is complete or up to date. Please confirm important details with the business before you buy.

3. Business accounts

To list a business you need an account. You must give true information, be allowed to represent the business, and keep your password private. You are responsible for everything done with your account.

A page can be created by the business owner or, at the owner’s request, by the Baz Lokal team. In that case the login details are sent to the owner’s email address, and the owner should change the password after the first login.

Every new page is reviewed before it is published. Baz Lokal may ask for changes, refuse, suspend or remove a page, for example if the information is false or misleading, the activity is illegal, or these terms are not respected.

4. Content you publish

You keep the rights to the texts, logos and photos you upload. You confirm that you own them or have permission to use them, and you allow Baz Lokal to show them on the website and to share your page on our social media to promote the directory.

You must not publish anything that is false, offensive, discriminatory, that infringes someone else’s rights, or that promotes illegal products or services.

5. Bazar: selling your own items

Anyone can post an item for sale on the Bazar for free. You must own the item, describe it honestly and only sell items that are legal to sell in Mauritius. Weapons, drugs, medicines, alcohol, tobacco, live animals, counterfeit goods and stolen goods are not allowed.

When you post an item you receive a private link. Use it to change the price or to remove the item once it is sold, so buyers stop contacting you. Items are removed automatically after 60 days unless renewed. Baz Lokal may hide or delete any item without notice.

Buyers and sellers deal directly with each other. Meet in a safe public place, check the item before paying and never send money in advance to someone you do not know.

6. Prices for paid options

A basic business page is free. Optional paid services, such as Featured listings or a Starter website, are shown with their price on the website or quoted to you before you order. A Featured listing runs for the period paid for and is not refunded once it has started.

7. Messages and personal data

When you use the contact form on a business page, your name, email, phone (if given) and message are sent to that business and kept by Baz Lokal so we can deal with problems and abuse.

Account holders’ details are used only to run the directory and to contact them about their page. We do not sell personal data. We handle personal data in line with the Data Protection Act 2017 of Mauritius. You can ask us to correct or delete your data by contacting us.

8. Responsibility

Baz Lokal provides the directory as it is. We are not responsible for the products, services, prices or behaviour of the businesses listed, nor for any loss arising from a transaction between a customer and a business. We try to keep the website available but cannot promise it will never be interrupted.

9. Changes and applicable law

We may update these terms. The date at the top shows the latest version. These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Mauritius.
