Terms & Conditions

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) govern your use of Baja Amigo. Baja AI LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company (“Baja AI,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), operates Baja Amigo. By using the service or creating an account, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy.

Eligibility and Accounts

You must be at least 18 years old and able to enter into a binding agreement to use an account. Keep your login credentials confidential and promptly notify us of suspected unauthorized account use. You are responsible for activity under your account.

You may not use Baja Amigo if you are located in, or are a national or resident of, a country or region subject to comprehensive U.S. sanctions, or if you appear on a U.S. government restricted-party list. You represent that neither you nor your business is such a party.

Using Baja Amigo

Baja Amigo provides practical Baja California information, tools, community features, and local-business discovery. You may use it only lawfully and may not interfere with the service, attempt unauthorized access, misuse another person's information, or submit unlawful, harmful, misleading, or infringing content.

Informational Content and Third Parties

Our guides, alerts, directory entries, exchange rates, and other content are general information only. They are not legal, immigration, medical, financial, safety, or professional advice, and rules in Mexico change more often than we can republish them. Before you rely on anything here for something that matters, confirm it with the official source or a qualified professional.

We link to and may display information from third-party services and local businesses. We do not control, endorse, or guarantee those services, listings, offers, or information. Your dealings with a third party are between you and that third party.

Baja Amigo is an independent information and local-business utility operated by Baja AI. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any listed business, any similarly named business, any government agency, or any third-party service named on this site unless we say so expressly.

Managed Introductions

For selected service categories, Baja Amigo may review your request and propose an introduction to one screened participating business. We ask for your permission before sharing your contact details. The selected business pays Baja Amigo for a confirmed introduction at no added cost to you. Screening uses factual criteria but is not an endorsement, warranty, or guarantee of the business, its work, pricing, or your outcome.

Community and Submitted Content

You retain ownership of content you submit, but grant Baja AI a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, display, and use it to operate, improve, and promote Baja Amigo. We may remove content that violates these Terms or creates risk for users or the service.

Submit only what is yours to submit. Do not upload photos, reviews, listings, or other material that you do not own or have permission to share.

Copyright Complaints and Takedown

If you believe content on Baja Amigo infringes your copyright, send a written notice to our designated agent at the address below. Please include: your contact information; a description of the work you say was infringed; the URL or enough detail for us to find the content; a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; a statement that the information in your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the owner or authorized to act for the owner; and your physical or electronic signature.

We remove or disable access to content that is the subject of a valid notice, and we notify the person who submitted it. If you believe your content was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice with the same contact and signature details, identifying the removed content and stating, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief it was removed in error, and consenting to the jurisdiction of the federal court for your district (or, if you are outside the United States, the District of Wyoming). We may restore the content unless the original complainant files a court action.

We terminate the accounts of users and businesses who repeatedly infringe the intellectual property of others. Knowingly sending a materially false notice or counter-notice can make you liable for damages.

Payments, Automatic Renewals, Cancellations, and Refunds

Baja Amigo offers paid memberships and one-time Visitor Passes through Stripe Checkout. Prices are stated in U.S. dollars. The complete amount, billing period, and any applicable taxes are shown before you authorize payment. Baja AI does not receive or store your full payment-card number.

Recurring Memberships

Monthly and annual memberships renew automatically on approximately the same calendar date at the price and frequency displayed at checkout until you cancel. By selecting the separate billing-terms checkbox and completing Stripe Checkout, you expressly authorize the initial charge and each automatic renewal. We record the accepted Terms version, selected plan, billing frequency, and Stripe Checkout reference with the transaction.

Amigo Plus is offered at $5 per month. While Early Adopter enrollment remains open, eligible new subscribers may instead select the Early Adopter annual price of $40 per year. Its standard annual price after Early Adopter enrollment closes will be $50 per year. The $40 Early Adopter price is grandfathered: it applies to every annual renewal for as long as that subscription remains continuously active. Baja AI will not increase that subscription's $40 annual price. Canceling the subscription ends the grandfathered price; a later enrollment uses the price then being offered.

Baja Partner charges $3 per verified customer and never more than $30 in a billing month. After 10 verified customers in a month, further customers that month are included. A month with no verified customers has no deal charge. Nacho for the business is $5 per month, free in any billing month that reaches 10 verified customers, and included with a prepaid year. It is not part of that cap. While Early Adopter enrollment remains open, an eligible business may instead prepay a year at $240. The standard annual price after Early Adopter enrollment closes will be $300 per year. A prepaid year includes the monthly cap, and a month with fewer than 3 verified customers adds one free month to the end of that term. The Early Adopter annual price is grandfathered: it applies to every annual renewal for as long as that subscription remains continuously active, and canceling the subscription ends it. Subscriptions that already started at the earlier $29 monthly price or the $230 annual price stay on that price.

Before each automatic renewal we email the account address a reminder showing the renewal date, the amount, and a cancellation link. We send it at least 15 days and no more than 45 days ahead of the renewal date. If we ever change the price of an existing subscription, we will tell you at least 7 days and no more than 30 days before the new price takes effect, in a message you can keep, and we will explain how to cancel. Email can go astray for reasons outside our control, so keep your account address current and check the billing section of your account as well.

Cancellation

You can cancel at any time through Manage Billing in your account. It takes effect immediately and stops every later renewal — no phone call, no retention offer, no cancellation fee. If you would rather have us do it, email hola@baja-amigo.com. Your paid access runs to the end of the billing period you have already paid for, unless a refund, a payment reversal, a violation of these Terms, or the law requires it to end sooner.

Refunds and Billing Problems

Once paid access begins, payments are generally final, and canceling does not by itself refund a billing period you have already used. We do review duplicate or unauthorized charges, billing errors, significant outages, and other good-faith requests — and we honor every refund and cancellation right the law gives you, whatever this section says. Email hola@baja-amigo.com with the account email, charge date, and issue. Approved refunds return to the original payment method. A full refund ends the access and promotional benefits funded by that payment; a partial refund may result in a proportional adjustment when appropriate.

Visitor Passes

A Visitor Pass is a one-time purchase for the period displayed at checkout. It expires automatically, does not renew, and is generally not refundable after activation except for a duplicate or unauthorized charge, a material service failure, or when required by law.

Payment Disputes

Please contact us promptly if you do not recognize a charge or believe it is incorrect; doing so does not limit any right you have to contact your card issuer. When a payment is refunded or disputed, we may immediately suspend or revoke access, a Visitor Pass, and any referral or promotional benefit funded by that payment while the matter is resolved. We may cancel a subscription associated with a disputed charge to prevent another renewal. If the dispute is withdrawn, rejected, or otherwise resolved with the funds returned to Baja AI, we will review and restore any remaining eligible access or equivalent credit when appropriate.

Risk-Free Start Program

Invited businesses may receive a temporary Baja Partner Preview at no charge for the fixed deadline displayed in the business dashboard. The initial Risk-Free Start cohort receives a 180-day preview; Baja Amigo may explicitly extend an individual deadline. A qualifying outcome must occur on or before that deadline. Baja Amigo delivers the number of verified customer outcomes shown in the business dashboard. A qualifying outcome is an operator-verified managed introduction or a server-verified deal redemption. Profile views, link taps, calls, Maps visits, and unconfirmed contacts do not qualify, and Baja Amigo does not promise a completed sale or any amount of revenue.

When the displayed threshold is reached before the Partner Preview deadline, the business has seven days to review the results, dispute an invalid or duplicate outcome, and choose whether to start the recurring Baja Partner subscription through Stripe Checkout. Baja Amigo does not collect a card at enrollment, charge automatically, or charge retroactively for the free outcomes. If the business does not subscribe by the displayed deadline, or the Partner Preview ends before the threshold is reached, the preview ends and its listing moves to Directory Only. Public facts and community reviews remain visible, but managed growth tools are disabled until Baja Partner is reactivated.

Complimentary Registered-User Deal

A registered free account may complete up to three complimentary deal redemptions per UTC calendar month across the marketplace. The allowance resets at the start of each month and is used only when the participating business confirms redemption; an unused, expired Deal Pass does not use it. Each offer remains subject to its displayed one-time or cooldown terms. The offers have no cash value and may be withheld or reversed for fraud, duplicate accounts, self-dealing, or misuse.

Confirmed-Deal Rewards

Confirmed deal redemptions accumulate for eligible paid memberships and do not reset each month. An active Amigo Plus subscriber earns an introductory five-dollar account credit at three confirmed redemptions and another five-dollar credit after each additional ten. An active Baja Partner subscriber earns an introductory twenty-nine-dollar account credit at ten confirmed redemptions and another twenty-nine-dollar credit after each additional forty. The introductory reward counts toward the annual limit.

Each program is limited to two deal-reward credits in any rolling twelve-month period. Credits have no cash value and are applied to the account's next eligible Stripe invoice; they do not create a refund for a previously paid invoice. Only server-confirmed deal redemptions qualify. Managed introductions may count toward the separate three-customer Risk-Free Start threshold, but do not count as confirmed deal redemptions for these rewards. We may reverse or withhold duplicate, fraudulent, self-dealing, or manipulated activity.

Lotería Tabla

Where the Lotería Tabla is offered, any registered user with a personal account may play. No purchase is necessary, and nothing can be bought to fill squares faster. A board has nine squares, each standing for a kind of business. A square fills when a deal pass at a matching business is confirmed by that business, or confirmed by us after you report that the business could not scan it. Each business can fill at most one square per board, and a square only counts visits made after its card was placed there. Completing any full row or column wins; winning depends only on confirmed visits, never on chance.

Each win earns one month of Amigo Plus: an active Amigo Plus subscriber receives a five-dollar credit applied to the next eligible Stripe invoice, and anyone else receives a one-month gift code, which may be given to another person and is subject to the gift-code terms. Business-tier accounts do not receive member prizes. Prizes are limited to five in any rolling twelve-month period and have no cash value. A member who starts a board earns board prizes in place of the Amigo Plus confirmed-deal credits described above; credits already earned are still applied. We may void boards or prizes marked by fraudulent, duplicate, self-dealing, or manipulated activity.

Marketer Program

Baja Amigo may invite individuals to promote the service as marketers. A marketer is an independent contractor, not an employee, agent, or partner of Baja AI LLC; sets their own hours and methods; uses their own equipment; may promote other products; and is responsible for any taxes owed on commissions in their own country. Applications are approved by hand and may be declined, paused, or ended at any time without notice.

A marketer earns eight US dollars when a customer who registered through the marketer's referral link, or was linked by Baja Amigo to that marketer, pays their first annual Amigo Plus invoice. For Baja Partner, a marketer earns twenty percent of each payment that business actually makes, until the marketer has earned forty-five US dollars from that business. The last payment pays only the remainder under that cap. A payment of zero earns nothing. There is no separate signup bonus. Monthly Amigo Plus plans, Visitor Passes, gift codes, and free listings earn nothing. A referred customer who also qualifies for the Referral Program reward earns only the marketer commission.

Commissions become payable thirty days after the qualifying payment. A refund, chargeback, or reversal voids the commission on that payment and reduces what the marketer has earned, including toward the forty-five dollar cap. If the commission was already paid, the unpaid balance is reduced by the same amount. Baja Amigo records payouts by cash or transfer to the details on the marketer's application. Payment is not automatic. Marketers may not send unsolicited messages, bid on the words “Baja Amigo” in paid advertising, make claims the service does not make, refer themselves, or hide that they are compensated where disclosure is required. Baja Amigo may void commissions arising from any of these, from self-dealing, or from fraudulent or manipulated purchases. Commissions earned before the program or a marketer's participation ends are still paid.

Intellectual Property

Baja Amigo and its content, design, software, and branding are owned by Baja AI or its licensors and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. These Terms grant you a limited, personal, revocable right to use the service; they do not transfer ownership to you.

“Baja Amigo,” the Baja Amigo logo, and the Nacho character are trademarks of Baja AI. You may not use them without our written permission, except to refer to Baja Amigo accurately.

Business names, logos, and trademarks shown on Baja Amigo belong to their respective owners and appear only to identify those businesses and services. Their appearance does not imply any affiliation with or endorsement by their owners.

Disclaimers and Liability

In plain terms: we build this carefully, but we cannot promise it is perfect or always available, and you use it at your own risk. To the maximum extent the law allows, Baja Amigo is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, and Baja AI is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the service, from third-party services, or from relying on information you found here.

Suspension and Termination

You may stop using Baja Amigo at any time. We may suspend or terminate access when we reasonably believe these Terms have been violated, when repeated infringement has occurred as described above, when necessary to protect users or the service, or as required by law.

This applies to every account, including paid memberships, Visitor Passes, and business plans. When other users report your content or conduct (for example harassment, spam, scams, hateful or sexual content, or misleading listings), we review the reports. If we find a violation, we will first send a warning to your account email explaining the problem. If the conduct continues after that warning, we may remove the content and deactivate the account, including any paid membership, Visitor Pass, or business plan. We may skip the warning and act immediately when conduct is illegal, involves fraud, or threatens someone's safety. Deactivation stops future renewals; any refund follows the Refunds and Billing Problems section above.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The effective date above will change when we do. We will provide advance notice and obtain any consent required by law before a material change affects a paid membership. Updates do not change a completed charge or the grandfathered Early Adopter annual price, including subscriptions that already started at $40 or $230. Continued use after any other update takes effect means you accept the updated Terms.

Governing Law and Contact

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute arising from these Terms or Baja Amigo must be brought in the state courts located in Sheridan County, Wyoming, or the federal courts in the District of Wyoming, unless applicable law requires otherwise.
