Welcome to BandBoard ("we", "us", "our"). These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the BandBoard website, applications and services (collectively, the "Service"). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By creating an account or using the Service in any way, you confirm that you are at least 13 years of age (or the minimum age of digital consent in your jurisdiction) and that you have read, understood and agree to these Terms and our privacy practices.

2. Changes to These Terms

BandBoard is under active development, and the Service — including features, pages and data — is subject to change at any time without notice. We may modify these Terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date above reflects the most recent revision. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

3. Your Account

You sign in to BandBoard using a third-party identity provider (such as Google). You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and for all activity that occurs under it. You agree to provide accurate information and to notify us promptly of any unauthorized use of your account. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

4. User Content

The Service allows you to create, upload and share content such as songs, lyrics, setlists, venue details, profile information and messages ("User Content"). You retain ownership of your User Content. By posting User Content, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, display and distribute that content solely for the purpose of operating and improving the Service.

If you mark a song Public or publish a Showcase (an audio or video recording), you additionally grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to display, stream and perform that content publicly through the Service for as long as it remains public. You may only publish your own original music, and you confirm that you own it (or have written permission from every owner) when you do. You can make a song private or remove a showcase at any time. Stems and other uploads are never made public.

You are solely responsible for your User Content. You represent and warrant that you own or have the necessary rights, licenses and permissions to post it — including rights to any song lyrics, compositions or recordings — and that it does not infringe the intellectual-property or other rights of any third party.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable law;

• Post content that is infringing, defamatory, harassing, hateful, obscene or otherwise objectionable;

• Send spam, including abusing invitations, friend/follow requests or email features;

• Impersonate any person or entity, or misrepresent your affiliation with anyone;

• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service, other accounts or our systems;

• Interfere with or disrupt the Service, or use automated means to scrape or harvest data.

Fans may rate a band from 1 to 10 and, for ratings of 8 or higher, leave a short comment. Comments are shown publicly only after the band approves them, and a band may decline to publish any comment. Ratings and comments must be honest, based on your own experience, and must not be abusive, harassing, hateful, misleading or promotional. A band may report a comment it believes violates these Terms; reported comments are hidden while we review them, and we may remove content and suspend or terminate accounts that abuse the rating feature.

6. Copyright & Infringement Claims (DMCA)

We respect intellectual-property rights and expect users to do the same. If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, you can use the Report this content link on the content's public page, or send a written notice to our designated copyright agent:

BandBoard Copyright Agent
U.S. Copyright Office DMCA Designated Agent registration: DMCA-1081731
Email: copyright@bandboard.com

A notice should include:

• Identification of the copyrighted work you claim is infringed;

• Identification of the material and where it is located on the Service (for example its BandBoard link);

• Your name, address, telephone number and email;

• 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, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act for the owner; and

• Your physical or electronic signature.

We may remove or disable access to allegedly infringing content, and we will notify the user who posted it. If you believe your content was removed by mistake, you may send us a counter-notice with your name, contact details, identification of the removed material, a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief it was removed by mistake or misidentification, and your consent to the jurisdiction of the courts described in Section 13. We may restore the content unless the complaining party notifies us that it has filed a court action. Knowingly submitting a false notice or counter-notice may make you liable for damages.

We will terminate the accounts of users who are repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances. Creators can learn how to protect and register their work on our Protect your work page.

7. Email & Communications

By using the Service you consent to receive service-related emails (such as request notifications and invitations you trigger). Invitation and messaging features are rate-limited and monitored to prevent abuse. You must have the recipient's consent before sending invitations or messages to them.

8. Third-Party Services

The Service integrates third-party services such as Google sign-in and Google Maps. Your use of those services is governed by their own terms and privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their content or practices.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. BANDBOARD IS IN ACTIVE DEVELOPMENT: WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE OR SECURE, OR THAT DATA WILL NOT BE LOST. PLEASE KEEP BACKUP COPIES OF ANY IMPORTANT CONTENT.

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) THE SERVICE, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

12. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without cause or notice. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 4, 9, 10 and 11) will survive.
