General use of this site
505 Spotlight is a curated local business spotlight and discovery website focused on Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, Corrales, Los Ranchos, Bernalillo, and nearby parts of New Mexico.
By using this site, you agree to use it only for lawful purposes and in a way that does not interfere with the site, its readers, or the businesses featured on it.
Intellectual property and site content
Unless otherwise stated, the written content, site branding, design, graphics, and original editorial material on 505 Spotlight are owned by or licensed to 505 Spotlight.
You may view and use the site for normal personal, non-commercial use. You may not copy, republish, scrape at scale, reproduce, or commercially reuse site content in a way that exceeds normal linking or fair use without permission.
Editorial discretion
505 Spotlight is a curated platform, not an open public directory. 505 Spotlight reserves the right to decide which businesses, submissions, promotions, reviews, and other materials are featured, edited, updated, unpublished, or declined.
Submitting a business, contacting me, or applying to be featured does not guarantee publication.
505 Spotlight also reserves the right to correct, revise, or remove listings, spotlight pages, submissions, or promotional content at any time.
Business information and accuracy
I aim to publish useful and accurate information, but business details can change without notice. Hours, services, availability, pricing, ownership, contact information, promotions, and other facts may change after a page is published.
505 Spotlight does not guarantee that every listing, spotlight, or linked third-party resource is complete, current, or error-free. Readers should confirm important details directly with the business before relying on them.
Inclusion on 505 Spotlight does not mean I guarantee, warrant, certify, or formally endorse any business, offer, or representation made by that business.
Third-party websites and services
This site may link to third-party websites, maps, social platforms, booking tools, menus, and other services operated by businesses or outside providers.
Those third-party sites are outside 505 Spotlight's control, and your use of them is governed by their own terms, policies, and practices.
Giveaways, raffles, scavenger hunts, and promotions
The following terms apply to giveaways, raffles, scavenger hunts, and similar community promotions run by 505 Spotlight or in partnership with featured businesses.
No guarantee of value
The stated value of a giveaway or promotion is determined by 505 Spotlight and/or the participating business in its sole discretion. There is no guaranteed cash, resale, refund, or replacement value unless explicitly stated in writing.
If a participating business is unable or unwilling to fulfill a giveaway, promotion, or prize for any reason, the offer may be changed, limited, suspended, or canceled.
No cash value
Giveaways and promotional offers have no cash value and cannot be exchanged for cash unless explicitly stated otherwise in writing.
No resale
Giveaways and promotional offers may not be sold or listed for sale. If a transfer is allowed, it may only be transferred without payment and subject to any stated promotion rules.
Redemption and expiration
Unless otherwise stated in writing, a claimed giveaway or promotional offer expires 30 days after it is awarded.
505 Spotlight may set additional rules, redemption limits, blackout dates, eligibility requirements, or claim windows for any specific promotion.
Claim limits
505 Spotlight may limit how often a person may claim a giveaway or promotional offer. If a specific promotion includes its own eligibility or frequency rules, those promotion-specific rules control.
Promotion changes
505 Spotlight reserves the right to modify, pause, end, or void a promotion at any time if needed for operational, legal, fraud-prevention, or business reasons.
User submissions
If you send me a message, submit a business, respond to a promotion, or otherwise provide content or information, you represent that the information you provide is accurate to the best of your knowledge and that you have the right to share it.
If you submit information about a business, event, promotion, or other listing-related detail, you also grant 505 Spotlight permission to review, edit, publish, decline, or remove that material in connection with operating the site.
Indemnification
You agree not to hold 505 Spotlight responsible for claims, liabilities, damages, or expenses arising out of information you submit, your misuse of the site, your violation of these terms, or your interactions with third parties found through the site.
Limitation of liability
