Terms of Service

NextPlace helps you explore US cities — to decide where to live, compare places, and plan trips. We bring together public data (such as the U.S. Census Bureau, Bureau of Labor Statistics, NOAA and FBI crime reports), AI-written summaries and matches, and links to outside services like real-estate agents and travel booking sites.

NextPlace is a research and planning tool. It is not financial, legal, tax, real-estate or immigration advice, and we are not a real-estate brokerage or travel agency.

• You need to be at least 18 years old to create an account.
• Give us accurate information and keep your sign-in secure. You're responsible for activity on your account.
• You can stop using NextPlace at any time. To close your account, contact us.

• NextPlace has a free plan and a paid Pro plan (billed monthly or yearly; existing Premium subscriptions continue on their current terms), plus a one-time Full City Report. Current prices are on our pricing page and are shown again before you pay.
• Paid plans renew automatically at the end of each billing period until you cancel.
• You can cancel any time from your account (Manage billing). When you cancel, you keep paid features until the end of the period you've already paid for, and you won't be charged again.
• Except where the law requires otherwise, we don't give refunds for partial billing periods. If you think you were charged by mistake, contact us and we'll look into it.
• Payments are processed by Stripe. We never see or store your full card number.
• If we change a plan's price, we'll tell you before your next renewal at the new price.

City figures come from public sources and can be out of date, estimated, or incomplete. AI-generated matches, summaries, trip plans and job suggestions can contain mistakes. Always double-check anything important — rent, home prices, schools, safety, salaries, travel details — with the original source or a local professional before you sign a lease, buy a home, accept a job or book a trip.

NextPlace does not rank, filter or recommend places based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability or familial status, and you agree not to use NextPlace to do so. Some public Census figures may appear on city pages as plain reference data; they are never used to score or match places.

• If you ask to be connected with a real-estate agent, and you agree to share your details, we pass the information you provide to a partner agent (or our team, who will find one). Partner agents are independent professionals, not NextPlace employees. Partner agents pay NextPlace to be featured. Any agreement you make with an agent is between you and them.
• Some links to travel and booking sites (for example Booking.com and Viator) are affiliate links, which means we may earn a commission if you book — at no extra cost to you. Bookings are made with those companies under their own terms.
• We aren't responsible for outside websites or services, even when we link to them.

• Break the law, or use NextPlace to discriminate against or harass anyone.
• Scrape, copy or resell NextPlace data or AI output in bulk, or try to get around plan limits.
• Interfere with the site, probe it for weaknesses, or access other people's accounts.
• Post reviews or other content that is false, abusive, or that you don't have the right to share.

We may suspend or close accounts that break these rules.

You own what you write — notes, saved plans, reviews and messages. You give us permission to store and process it to run NextPlace for you, and to show reviews you choose to publish on city pages. You can delete saved plans at any time.

The NextPlace site, design, and the way we organize and present data belong to NextPlace. You may use them for your own personal planning.

NextPlace is provided "as is." To the fullest extent the law allows, we don't promise the service will always be available, error-free, or that the data is complete or current, and we aren't liable for indirect or consequential losses, or for decisions you make based on information from NextPlace. If we are found liable to you, our total liability is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim.

We may update these terms as NextPlace changes. We'll update the date at the top, and for important changes we'll let account holders know. Continuing to use NextPlace after a change means you accept the new terms.
