6. Business Profile Submission and Management

BeeyNet enables the creation and display of business profiles to promote local services and increase the visibility of entrepreneurs and companies.

How a Business Profile Is Created:

A business profile can be:

  • Manually added by the BeeyNet team, based on publicly available information,
  • Or submitted directly by the business owner or an authorized representative through the official submission form.

During submission, users are asked to provide key business details, such as the company name, address, contact information, business hours, and more.

Who Can Edit Business Information:

Only the original creator of the profile — or a verified representative of the business — has the right to update or manage the information.

The BeeyNet team reserves the right to update, correct, or supplement publicly available information to improve accuracy and user experience.

Business Ownership Verification:

Ownership verification may be completed through:

  • A company email address associated with the business’s official domain,
  • Proof of business registration or other official documentation.

In the event of a dispute regarding profile ownership, BeeyNet may temporarily lock or remove the profile until the rightful owner is verified.

BeeyNet reserves the right to reject any business listing that fails to meet minimum quality standards, contains inaccurate information, or is deemed irrelevant to the platform’s users.

Restrictions on Unauthorized Use:

It is strictly prohibited to copy, reproduce, distribute, publish, modify, or download any part of the website — including business profiles — without prior written permission from the BeeyNet team.

Automated data collection methods (such as scraping or crawling) are expressly forbidden without explicit authorization and may result in legal action.
