By accessing placeaut.com, subscribing to our newsletter, submitting a business listing, purchasing a membership, or engaging PlaceAut for consulting services, you agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions (“Terms”). If you do not agree, do not use our platform or services. These Terms apply to all users of placeaut.com, including parents and caregivers who browse the directory, businesses that submit or claim listings, and clients who purchase consulting services.
PlaceAut is a directory, certification platform, and media brand focused on autism and sensory-friendly businesses in Florida. PlaceAut is founded and operated by a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) and does not provide therapy, behavioral intervention, or any form of licensed professional services through this platform.
PlaceAut is not a licensed healthcare provider, therapy practice, or medical organization. Nothing on this website constitutes therapy recommendations, behavioral guidance, or professional advice of any kind. All directory listings, product recommendations, and content are for informational purposes only.
PlaceAut may create and publish listings for businesses without their prior request. These listings are compiled from publicly available information including Google Maps, business websites, and public social media profiles. Unclaimed listings are clearly labeled as unverified and do not display the PlaceAut Verified icon or badge. Publishing an unclaimed listing does not imply any endorsement of, affiliation with, or certification of the business. To request a correction, contact contact@placeaut.com; we will review and update or remove the listing within 10 business days.
Business owners may claim their listing by submitting a claim request through placeaut.com.
If you believe your business listing has been claimed by an unauthorized party, contact us immediately at contact@placeaut.com. We will investigate and take corrective action within 5 business days.
Business owners may request removal of their listing at any time by contacting contact@placeaut.com with the subject line “Listing Removal Request.” PlaceAut will process removal requests within 10 business days. Removal does not constitute a refund of any paid membership fees already charged; if a paid member requests removal, their membership is cancelled at the end of the current billing cycle. PlaceAut reserves the right to decline removal requests for listings that are factually accurate and in the public interest, and will notify the business in writing.
The Verified icon is displayed on Member and Member+ listings after a 15-minute verification call is completed. It confirms that PlaceAut has spoken with the business and verified their sensory-friendly features; it is not awarded at signup. The PlaceAut badge is separate from the Verified icon and is not included in any membership tier. It is awarded solely at PlaceAut’s discretion following a full sensory evaluation completed as part of the Sensory Consulting program. Completion of the consulting program does not guarantee the badge. Businesses may not use the PlaceAut badge outside of placeaut.com without written permission.
Businesses that join the directory represent and warrant that all information submitted is accurate and up to date, that they will notify PlaceAut of material changes to their sensory-friendly accommodations, and that they will not misuse the PlaceAut badge or Verified icon.
Businesses may purchase individual promoted posts on PlaceAut city Instagram accounts.
PlaceAut offers Sensory Consulting to extracurricular businesses (indoor playgrounds, art studios, dance and gymnastics studios, trampoline parks, swim schools, and similar venues). A single engagement includes: an environment walkthrough and assessment; a 20-point written evaluation report; a 60-minute call with the founder (RBT); a 90-minute staff awareness training delivered by a licensed BCBA partner; a certificate of completion for staff; quiet zone setup guidance; visual support templates; a parent-facing sensory guide; a full sensory evaluation (PlaceAut badge awarded at our discretion if criteria are met); and two follow-up calls. Pricing is provided after a discovery conversation; no fixed price is published on the website.
PlaceAut consulting services are business environment and operations consulting only. They are not behavioral therapy, clinical intervention, or licensed professional services of any kind. The BCBA partner who delivers staff training does so as an independent contractor. Staff training provides general awareness education and does not constitute individualized behavioral programming or therapy for any person.
PlaceAut does not guarantee that completion of a consulting engagement will result in any specific business outcome, increase in customers, or improvement in any measurable metric. Results depend entirely on the business’s own implementation of guidance provided. Completion of consulting does not guarantee award of the PlaceAut badge.
PlaceAut treats all information shared during consulting engagements as confidential and will not disclose business-specific findings, audit reports, or internal information to third parties without written consent, except as required by law.
All payments are processed through Stripe. By providing payment information, you authorize PlaceAut to charge the applicable fees to your payment method.
All content on placeaut.com — including text, images, logos, brand characters, graphics, and the PlaceAut badge — is the property of PlaceAut and is protected by applicable copyright and trademark law. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, or use PlaceAut content, logos, or certification marks without prior written permission. Businesses that earn a PlaceAut badge may display it on their own website and social media solely to indicate their status, provided the badge is not modified and PlaceAut is credited.
By submitting content to PlaceAut (photos, descriptions, testimonials), you grant PlaceAut a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, display, and distribute that content in connection with our platform and marketing.

PlaceAut does not endorse, warrant, or take responsibility for any third-party products recommended through affiliate links; all product purchases are transactions between the buyer and the third-party retailer.
To the fullest extent permitted by Florida law, PlaceAut and its founders, employees, contractors, and partners shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of this platform or our services. PlaceAut’s total liability for any claim arising from use of the platform or our services shall not exceed the amount you paid to PlaceAut in the 30 days preceding the claim. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or limitation of liability, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising from these Terms or your use of PlaceAut shall be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Miami-Dade County, Florida, and you consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts. Before initiating any legal action, you agree to first contact PlaceAut at contact@placeaut.com and allow 30 days for good-faith resolution.
PlaceAut reserves the right to suspend or terminate your access to the platform or any services, with or without notice, for any reason including violation of these Terms, non-payment, or conduct that PlaceAut determines is harmful to the platform or its community. Upon termination, all licenses granted to you under these Terms immediately cease. The Intellectual property, Disclaimer of warranties, Limitation of liability, Indemnification, and Governing law sections survive termination.
PlaceAut reserves the right to update these Terms at any time. We will post the revised Terms on this page with an updated effective date. Your continued use of placeaut.com after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms. Material changes affecting paying customers will be communicated by email at least 14 days before taking effect.
