The deal, kept simple

Use AsianMall and you’re agreeing to these. We’ve kept the lawyer-speak to a minimum.

The basics

AsianMall is a guide to Asian-owned and Asian-focused businesses. We work hard to keep listings accurate, but we’re a directory. We don’t run the restaurants, shops, or salons we list, and we can’t promise every detail is current (hours move, places close). When in doubt, call ahead.

Your account

You must be 18 or older to create an account and post. Anyone can browse AsianMall, but posting reviews or photos requires an account, and you confirm you’re 18+ when you sign up. Keep your login to yourself. You’re responsible for what happens under your account.

What you post

Your reviews and photos are yours. By posting them, you’re letting us show them on AsianMall. Keep it honest and first-hand, and follow our Community Guidelines: no fake reviews, nothing you don’t have the rights to, nothing hateful or illegal. Customer photos are reviewed before they appear publicly. Reports send reviews to our moderation queue; reports alone do not automatically hide criticism. After review, we can remove or hide content that crosses the line and close accounts that abuse the place.

Reporting & illegal content

See something that breaks the rules? Report it. No account needed. We don’t tolerate illegal content, including non-consensual intimate imagery (NCII). We remove it as required by law (typically within 48 hours of a valid report) and cooperate with the authorities. Sexual content involving minors is removed immediately and reported.

Copyright & DMCA takedowns

If you believe material here infringes your copyright, send a notice via our report form or to hello@asianmall.com including: (1) your physical or electronic signature, (2) identification of the copyrighted work, (3) the exact link or enough detail for us to locate the material, (4) your contact details, (5) a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is unauthorized, and (6) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and you’re authorized to act. We remove qualifying material promptly, honor valid counter-notices, and terminate the accounts of repeat infringers.

For business owners

Claim your listing for free and manage it yourself. Sponsored placement is always labeled “Sponsored.” Paying never buys better reviews or hides criticism. Ads and reviews are kept completely separate. Only claim a business you actually own or run. Listed in our directory and want a correction or removal? Email hello@asianmall.com and we’ll update or take down your listing.

Member subscriptions & billing

Business owners can subscribe to the optional Member tier to show a Member badge on their listing. It costs $5.00/month or $45.00/year (USD), billed through Stripe. We never see or store your card details.

Automatic renewal: the plan you choose renews automatically at the same price each month or year until you cancel. You can cancel anytime from “Manage billing” on your listing dashboard (the Stripe customer portal); cancellation stops future charges and your badge stays active through the end of the period you’ve already paid for.

Refunds: because you keep access through the end of each paid period, we don’t give partial refunds for a period already underway. If you were charged in error or something went wrong, email hello@asianmall.com and we’ll make it right. We’ll give notice here before any price change, and a price change only takes effect on your next renewal. The Member badge reflects an active subscription — it’s a way to support AsianMall, not a factual verification of the business. (Our separate Verified mark is a staff check of specific details and is never sold.) A subscription never buys better reviews or hides criticism.

Please don’t

Scrape the site, pound it with bots, try to break it, or use it to spam people. Just be normal.

The legal bit

No warranties. AsianMall is a directory, provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement. We don’t promise the site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any listing’s hours, prices, contact details, photos, or reviews are accurate or current.

Third parties & user content. Businesses, reviews, and photos come from their owners and other users, not from us. We don’t endorse, verify, or take responsibility for them, and we’re not a party to your dealings with any business you find here. If the dumplings disappoint, that’s between you and the kitchen.

Limitation of liability. To the fullest extent permitted by law, AsianMall and its operators won’t be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any lost profits, data, or goodwill, arising from your use of (or inability to use) the site. Our total liability for any claim relating to the service is capped at the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or US$100. Some jurisdictions don’t allow certain limitations, so parts of this may not apply to you; nothing here limits liability that can’t be limited by law.

Indemnification. If your use of the site or your content causes a third-party claim against us, you agree to cover the reasonable costs (including legal fees) we incur from it, to the extent the claim arises from your actions or content.

Changes & contact

We may update these terms and will change the date below when we do. These are governed by the laws of the State of California, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and you agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located there. If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest still applies. Questions? hello@asianmall.com.

These terms are written in plain language for clarity and are not legal advice; they don’t create an attorney-client relationship.
