Terms of Use

Updated November 2, 2026.

Maryland Authority is a local information and publishing website operated by Coastal Authority Group, LLC. These terms describe the permitted use of the website. Separate written agreements govern advertising purchases or other contracted services.

Using the information

You may read the site, share links and use its information for personal reference. Articles, directory entries and guides provide general context. Dates, prices, hours, services, access rules and other details can change. Confirm information with the organization responsible before making plans or commitments.

The website does not replace advice from a qualified professional about your individual legal, financial, medical, property or business circumstances. See the Disclaimer.

Content and reuse

Rights in text, photographs, graphics and other material belong to their respective owners. Applicable law, an asset's stated license or written permission determines whether material may be reused. Sharing a link is different from copying an article or photograph. See Copyright & Takedown for credit and permissions information.

Do not remove attribution or present Maryland Authority's material, name or branding in a way that falsely suggests our endorsement. Third-party names and logos belong to their owners.

Responsible use

Do not try to gain unauthorized access, bypass access controls, disrupt the service, introduce harmful software, impersonate another person or use site features for unlawful purposes. Do not submit material that violates someone else's rights. Use an available contact route to report a problem without exposing private information.

Listings, links and transactions

A listing or editorial mention does not certify an organization, guarantee its work or create an agency relationship. Verify qualifications, licensing, insurance, availability and terms directly with a provider. Any purchase or other arrangement you make with a listed organization is between you and that organization.

Outside websites have their own terms and privacy practices. Paid placements, when present, are identified under our Advertising & Sponsorship Disclosure.

Contributions and availability

Story suggestions may be sent by email. Any contribution we agree to consider is subject to the Submission Terms and any separate agreement made with the contributor.

Pages and features may change or become unavailable. Access may be restricted for maintenance, security or misuse. We do not promise uninterrupted access or that every page is free of errors. Nothing in these terms removes rights or remedies that applicable law does not allow to be excluded.

Questions and updates

Email info@coastalvirginiaauthority.com or use the Contact page. Changes to these terms will be presented here. A separate signed agreement controls its subject matter if it conflicts with these general website terms.
