By visiting lastbellfamily.com, subscribing to our newsletter or texts, or submitting content, you agree to these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the service. We may update these terms from time to time; continued use means you accept the changes.
We are an independent information service that aggregates and summarizes publicly available listings of kid- and family-related events, parks, recreational places, and local businesses in and around Bergen County, New Jersey, plus listings submitted by organizers. We are not the organizer, host, sponsor, operator, or owner of any event, venue, business, or place we list. We do not sell tickets, provide childcare, or supervise any activity.
All information is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including accuracy, completeness, timeliness, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. Listings may contain errors, may be out of date, or may describe events that have changed, moved, or been cancelled. We do not guarantee any event will occur, any place will be open, or that any listing (including age recommendations, accessibility, pricing, or safety information) is accurate. Verify everything with the source before relying on it.
You are solely responsible for your own safety and for the safety and supervision of any children in your care. Activities, venues, and travel involve inherent risks. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you assume all risk arising from your use of the information and from attending or visiting any event, venue, business, or place you learned about through Last Bell Family. You agree that Last Bell Family is not responsible for supervising children, screening venues or other attendees, or ensuring any location is safe, open, or suitable.
Listings, links, sponsorships, and advertisements do not constitute an endorsement, recommendation, or guarantee. Third-party events, venues, businesses, and websites are operated by others under their own terms, policies, and rules; we are not responsible or liable for their actions, omissions, content, products, services, conduct, or safety practices. Any dealings you have with a third party are solely between you and that third party.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Last Bell Family and its owner, operators, and contributors will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any personal injury, property damage, loss, or harm, arising out of or relating to your use of (or inability to use) the service or any information in it, any event/venue/place you attended, or the acts or omissions of any third party — even if advised of the possibility of such damages. Where liability cannot be excluded, our total aggregate liability is limited to [USD $100, or the amount you paid us in the past 12 months, whichever is greater]. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions, so some may not apply to you.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Last Bell Family and its owner and contributors from any claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from your use of the service, your violation of these terms, or your attendance at or interaction with any listed event, venue, or place.
If you submit an event or other content, you represent that the information is accurate and that you have the right to submit it and to authorize its publication. You grant Last Bell Family a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to edit, summarize, display, and distribute the submitted information across our website, email, social media, and texts. You remain responsible for what you submit. We may decline, edit, or remove any submission at our discretion. To request a correction or removal, email us (see Contact).
Our original text, design, and compilation are owned by Last Bell Family. Park and place data is © OpenStreetMap contributors, used under the Open Database License (ODbL). You may not scrape, copy, republish, or resell our listings or database, or use the service for any unlawful purpose, without written permission. Event facts are summarized in our own words and link back to their sources.
What we collect. If you subscribe, we collect the email address (and, if you opt in, the mobile number) you give us, plus basic, non-identifying analytics about how the site is used (e.g., pages viewed). If you submit an event, we collect the contact details you provide.
How we use it. To send you the newsletter/texts you signed up for, to operate and improve the service, and to respond to you. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it except with the service providers that help us run the product (for example, our email platform [beehiiv], analytics, and hosting), who process it on our behalf.
Your choices. You can unsubscribe from email at any time via the link in every message, reply STOP to texts, or email us to access, correct, or delete your information.
Cookies & analytics. We use minimal, privacy-respecting analytics and may use cookies for basic functionality. Your browser’s “Do Not Track” preference is respected where feasible.
Last Bell Family is intended for parents, caregivers, and other adults — it is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it. (We aim to comply with COPPA and applicable children’s-privacy laws.)
By subscribing, you consent to receive recurring informational emails (and, if you opt in, texts) from Last Bell Family. Email complies with CAN-SPAM: every message includes our mailing address and a one-click unsubscribe. Texts (when offered) comply with the TCPA and carrier rules: message and data rates may apply, reply HELP for help and STOP to cancel. Consent is not a condition of any purchase.
Some links may be affiliate links, and some listings may be paid sponsorships. This never changes the price you pay, and sponsorship does not imply we vet or endorse the advertiser. Paid placements are part of how we keep the guide free for families.
We may modify the service or these terms at any time; material changes will be noted by updating the “last updated” date. These terms are governed by the laws of the State of [New Jersey], without regard to conflict-of-laws rules, and you agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in [Bergen County, New Jersey]. [Optional: binding arbitration & class-action waiver — confirm with counsel.]
