Terms & Conditions

Last updated 2 August 2026.

1. Who you are contracting with

Globe Connected is operated by Globe Connected Limited (trading as Globe Connected), registered under number 166707, of 10 Fremont Perle, La Route Du Mont Mado, St John, JE3 4DN, Jersey (“we”, “us”, “our”). When you use this site or buy any of our paid services you are contracting with us, and these terms form that contract.

Payments are not taken by us. Paddle.com Market Limited (“Paddle”) is our reseller and the merchant of record for every paid service on this site. Your purchase is therefore also subject to Paddle's buyer terms, and Paddle — not us — is the party that charges you, invoices you, handles tax and issues refunds.

2. Acceptance

By accessing this site, creating an account, submitting content or buying a paid service you accept these terms. If you keep using Globe Connected after we change them, you accept the changed terms. If you do not accept them, stop using the service.

You must be at least 18 years old and, where you act for a business, authorised to bind that business.

3. Your account

You are responsible for the accuracy of your account details, for keeping your password confidential, and for everything done under your account. Tell us promptly if you believe your account has been compromised.

4. What we provide

Globe Connected is a business directory and classifieds marketplace. We offer:

  • The directory and classifieds — free to browse, and free to submit an entry subject to moderation.
  • Verified plans — a recurring subscription granting a number of listing slots, verified treatment on the listings you attach to them, an extended profile, priority placement and priority moderation.
  • Classified upgrades — one-off, per-item upgrades such as a featured placement, a longer listing duration, or additional photos.
  • Advertising credits — one-off credit packs spent on sidebar advertising campaigns you book yourself.

Verified treatment renders only while the listing is also publicly active following moderation. Placement, badges and profile features are the entitlements you are buying; we do not sell, and do not promise, any level of traffic, enquiries, impressions, clicks, leads or sales.

5. Content you submit

You keep ownership of the listings, classifieds, images and advertising creative you submit, and you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, reproduce, adapt for display, and publish that content on Globe Connected and in connection with promoting it. You confirm you have the rights needed to grant that licence.

All submissions and edits pass through automated and human moderation. We may refuse, edit, deactivate or remove any content, and we may reject or suspend advertising creative, where it breaches these terms or applicable law. Moderation is a check on obvious problems, not a warranty that content is lawful or accurate.

6. Acceptable use

You must not:

  • use Globe Connected for any unlawful purpose, or in breach of any law or regulation that applies to you;
  • submit false, misleading, deceptive or fraudulent content, impersonate anyone, or list a business you have no authority to list;
  • send spam or unsolicited marketing, or harvest contact details from the directory or classifieds for that purpose;
  • infringe anyone's intellectual property, privacy or other rights;
  • upload malware, probe, scan or test the security of the service, circumvent authentication, rate limits or moderation, or interfere with its operation;
  • scrape, crawl, bulk-download or systematically copy the directory, classifieds or advertising data except as expressly permitted by our robots directives;
  • inflate advertising impressions or clicks, or otherwise manipulate metrics, placement or search ranking.

7. Our intellectual property

We own, or are licensed to use, the Globe Connected service and everything in it other than user-submitted content — including the software, database, category structure, compiled directory data, documentation, design, and the Globe Connected name and branding. Nothing in these terms transfers any of it to you. You get a limited, revocable, non-transferable right to use the service for its intended purpose only.

8. Service availability

The service is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We do not guarantee that Globe Connected will be uninterrupted, timely, secure or error-free, that defects will be corrected, or that any particular feature will remain available. We may change, suspend or withdraw features, and we carry out maintenance that may make the site temporarily unavailable. To the extent the law allows, we exclude all implied warranties.

Directory information is compiled from many sources and changes constantly. We take care over it but do not warrant that any listing is accurate, current or complete, and we are not a party to any dealing between you and a business, seller or advertiser you find here.

9. Payment, renewal and cancellation

Prices are shown before checkout and are charged in the currency shown there. Paddle handles billing, currency, sales tax and VAT as merchant of record, and the payment, renewal, price-change, invoicing and cancellation mechanics that apply to your purchase are those set out in Paddle's buyer terms. In summary, and subject to those terms:

  • Verified plans are subscriptions that renew automatically at the end of each billing period, monthly or yearly as chosen at checkout, until cancelled.
  • You can cancel a subscription at any time from your billing page. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the billing period you have already paid for; your slots and verified treatment continue until then and stop afterwards.
  • If a renewal payment fails, we may keep your entitlements active during Paddle's retry period and withdraw them if payment is not recovered.
  • Classified upgrades and advertising credit packs are one-off purchases, not subscriptions. Credits do not expire, and cancelling a campaign returns any credits for days not yet delivered to your credit balance.

Refunds are dealt with in our Refund Policy.

10. Suspension and termination

You may stop using Globe Connected at any time and may ask us to close your account. We may suspend or terminate your access, remove your content, revoke verified treatment, suspend advertising campaigns, or withhold unspent credits where:

  • you materially breach these terms, including the acceptable use rules above;
  • a payment due for a paid service is not made, is reversed, or is charged back;
  • we reasonably suspect fraud, abuse, or a security or legal risk to us, our users or the service;
  • you repeatedly or seriously breach our content or advertising policies; or
  • we are required to do so by law.

Where it is reasonable and lawful to do so we will tell you why and, for a breach capable of being fixed, give you an opportunity to fix it. On termination your right to use the service ends immediately; the sections on intellectual property, liability and governing law survive.

11. Liability

Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited, including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud. Subject to that, we are not liable for lost profits, lost revenue, lost business, lost goodwill, or loss or corruption of data, or for any indirect or consequential loss; and our total liability arising out of or in connection with the service is limited to the amount you paid us for the paid services in the twelve months before the claim arose, or £100 if you have paid us nothing.

If you are a consumer, these terms do not affect your statutory rights.

12. Changes to these terms

We may change these terms from time to time. The version published on this page is the one that applies, and the date at the top shows when it last changed. Where a change materially reduces what you get from a paid service we will give you reasonable notice, and you may cancel before it takes effect.

13. Governing law

These terms and any dispute arising from them are governed by the laws of Jersey, and the courts of Jersey have jurisdiction. If you are a consumer resident elsewhere, you keep the benefit of any mandatory protections of your country of residence.
