Terms of Use and Disclaimer:

The ShopBIPOC Directory is a community-powered platform created to elevate businesses owned by Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC). It exists to foster economic equity, visibility, and trust across communities.

Acceptable Use:

Use of this directory for unsolicited advertising, spam, data scraping, or any form of exploitation is strictly prohibited. This platform is intended for positive engagement, business discovery, and community uplift.

Content Accuracy and Endorsements:

ShopBIPOC.com reviews information submitted by businesses to ensure listings are complete and accurate to the best of our ability. However, we do not independently verify all claims nor do we formally endorse or guarantee the quality, availability, or safety of the goods and services offered. Consumers are encouraged to conduct their own due diligence before making purchasing decisions.

Equity Commitment in Action:

Our platform is rooted in trust and accountability. We recognize that many BIPOC entrepreneurs have been historically excluded from traditional business systems and subject to bias in online reviews. As such, we are committed to handling concerns with care, respect, and fairness. No business will be removed due to bias, cultural misunderstanding, or isolated customer dissatisfaction. We value culturally informed, trauma-aware engagement and will always approach concerns with fairness, confidentiality, and a focus on restorative practices when applicable.

Concerns or Inquiries:

If you have concerns relating to illegal or fraudulent activity of a business on ShopBIPOC, please contact us at info@shopbipoc.com. All inquiries will be handled confidentially and with a commitment to transparency and restorative practices when appropriate. Concerns about quality of goods or services are beyond the scope of ShopBIPOC and will not be investigated.
