Welcome to LOCORA ("we," "us," or "the Marketplace"). By using this website, you agree to these Terms of Use.

1. About the Marketplace

LOCORA is a local classified marketplace for Vancouver Island, British Columbia. We connect buyers and sellers but do not facilitate payments, shipping, or escrow. All transactions are arranged directly between users.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter contracts in British Columbia. You must provide accurate registration information.

The following are strictly prohibited:

  • Sexual services or adult content
  • Illegal goods, stolen property, or counterfeit items
  • Weapons, drugs, or regulated substances without proper authorization
  • Items that violate any applicable law in Canada or British Columbia
  • Spam, scams, or misleading listings

We reserve the right to remove listings and deactivate accounts that violate these rules.

4. Listings & Profile/Shops

When you register, you create a unique profile/shop name or use your real name. Your profile/shop name becomes your public page URL. Free accounts may list up to 5 active items. Additional listings and expanded photo options may be available for a fee as configured by administrators.

Each listing requires at least one photo (up to 5). You are responsible for the accuracy of your listings.

7. Account Termination

We may suspend or deactivate accounts that violate these terms. Administrators may message users regarding account status.

8. Limitation of Liability

The Marketplace is provided "as is." We are not liable for disputes between users, item quality, or safety incidents arising from in-person meetings.
