Terms of Use

1. Editorial purpose

This site publishes editorial information about the Cotswold area of Charlotte, North Carolina. It does not list properties for sale, transact real estate, provide brokerage services, or perform licensed construction, design, or engineering work.

2. No professional relationship

Reading this site, submitting a form, or contacting a firm we recommend does not create an agency, brokerage, client, fiduciary, or contractual relationship with Discover Cotswold. Any such relationship exists only under a separate written agreement with the firm itself.

3. Accuracy and change

Local information changes. School assignments, business hours, road projects, market conditions, zoning, and tax rates are all subject to revision by the responsible authority at any time, often without notice. We research carefully and cite primary sources, but we do not warrant that any figure is current at the moment you read it. Verify anything you intend to rely on directly with the responsible authority.
