Terms of Service

Last updated: March 2026

1. Use of the Directory

LodgeFinder is a free, publicly accessible directory of Masonic lodges. No account or registration is required to browse or search the directory. You may use LodgeFinder for personal, non-commercial purposes in accordance with these terms and any applicable laws.

2. Data Accuracy Disclaimer

The lodge information contained in LodgeFinder is sourced from Google Maps and other publicly available sources. While we make efforts to maintain accuracy, we cannot guarantee that all information is current, complete, or error-free. Lodge locations, contact details, meeting times, and other information may contain inaccuracies or outdated data.

We recommend verifying information directly with lodges before relying on it for important decisions or attendance. We are not responsible for any losses, damages, or inconveniences arising from inaccurate or outdated information in the directory.

3. Non-Affiliation

LodgeFinder is an independent directory and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or associated with any Grand Lodge, Masonic organization, or individual lodge unless explicitly stated. We do not represent any Masonic governing body or claim authority over lodge operations, membership, or practices.

4. Affiliate Links Disclosure

LodgeFinder may contain affiliate links to third-party products, services, or websites. When you click on an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may receive a commission at no additional cost to you. We only promote products and services we believe are relevant to our users. Your use of affiliate links is entirely voluntary.

5. Premium Lodge Listings

LodgeFinder offers optional premium listing services for lodges that wish to enhance their directory presence. Premium listings may include additional features such as extended descriptions, custom photos, website links, or featured placement. Terms for premium listings are governed by a separate service agreement. Premium listings are subject to our content policies and may be modified or removed at our discretion if they violate these terms or our guidelines.

6. Intellectual Property

The LodgeFinder website, including its design, layout, logos, text, images, and all other content not attributed to third parties, is the property of LodgeFinder or its licensors. All intellectual property rights are reserved. You may view and print content for personal, non-commercial use only. Reproduction, distribution, modification, or republication of LodgeFinder content without written permission is prohibited.

7. User Content and Submissions

If you submit lodge information, corrections, reviews, or other content to LodgeFinder, you grant us the right to use, modify, and display that content in the directory. You represent and warrant that you have the right to submit such content and that it does not violate the rights of any third party. We are not obligated to publish user submissions and may reject, edit, or remove any content at our discretion.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, LodgeFinder, its owners, operators, and employees are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of or inability to use the directory, including but not limited to damages for lost profits, data, or goodwill, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Your exclusive remedy for any dissatisfaction with LodgeFinder is to discontinue use of the service. Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation of liability, so this limitation may not apply to you.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

LodgeFinder is provided on an "as-is" and "as-available" basis without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the directory will be error-free, uninterrupted, or free from viruses or other harmful components.

10. Prohibited Conduct

You agree not to use LodgeFinder to:

• Violate any applicable laws or regulations
• Harass, threaten, or defame any individual or organization
• Spam, scrape, or use automated tools to extract data without permission
• Distribute malware or other harmful code
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the directory or its systems
• Interfere with the operation or security of LodgeFinder
• Submit false, fraudulent, or misleading information

11. Third-Party Links

LodgeFinder may contain links to third-party websites and services. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or practices of third-party sites. Your use of third-party links is at your own risk and subject to their terms and policies.

12. Modification and Termination

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue LodgeFinder at any time without notice or liability. We may also modify these terms at any time by posting updates to this page. Your continued use of the directory following any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms.
