The Platform operates solely as an online marketplace that connects artists and venues. The Platform does not organize, promote, host, supervise, or control any performances or events listed on the Platform. All events are organized and conducted solely by the applicable venue and/or artist.
The Platform makes no representations or warranties regarding the quality, safety, legality, or suitability of any performance, event, venue, or artist listed on the Platform.
Venues are solely responsible for obtaining and maintaining all required public performance licenses and permissions necessary for the performance of copyrighted works at their location, including licenses from Performing Rights Organizations such as ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, GMR, and any other applicable domestic or foreign rights organization.
The Platform does not verify, monitor, or guarantee the existence, validity, or scope of any such licenses. Venues acknowledge that failure to obtain appropriate licenses may result in legal liability to the venue, and that the Platform bears no responsibility for any such failure.
Artists represent and warrant that they have the legal right to perform the musical works included in their performances and that their performances will not infringe upon the intellectual property rights of any third party.
Artists are solely responsible for ensuring that their repertoire, setlists, and any audio or visual materials used during performances comply with all applicable copyright and intellectual property laws.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Platform, its officers, directors, employees, and affiliates from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to:
This indemnification obligation survives the termination of your account and your use of the Platform.
Nothing in these Terms creates any partnership, joint venture, agency, employment, or fiduciary relationship between the Platform and any user. The Platform is not the promoter, organizer, or operator of any event listed on the Platform.
Artists and venues are independent parties. The Platform does not employ, manage, or direct any artist or venue. No user has the authority to bind the Platform to any obligation, contract, or liability.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Platform and its affiliates shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising out of or related to your use of the Platform.
In no event shall the Platform's total aggregate liability to you for all claims arising from your use of the Platform exceed the amount you paid to the Platform, if any, during the twelve (12) months preceding the claim.
The Platform is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.
Any disputes arising between artists and venues — including but not limited to payment disputes, performance quality, cancellation disagreements, or scheduling conflicts — are to be resolved directly between the involved parties. The Platform is not a party to any agreement between artists and venues and has no obligation to mediate, arbitrate, or resolve such disputes.
The Platform may, at its sole discretion, provide tools or processes to facilitate communication between disputing parties, but participation in any such process is voluntary and does not constitute legal mediation or arbitration.
The Platform provides tools to facilitate the exchange of tax documents, including W-9 forms and 1099-NEC forms, between venues and artists. These tools are provided as a convenience only.
The Platform is not a tax advisor, accountant, or legal professional. The Platform does not verify the accuracy of any tax information submitted by users and makes no representations regarding users' tax obligations. Users are solely responsible for ensuring the accuracy of their tax information and for complying with all applicable federal, state, and local tax laws.
Users should consult a qualified tax professional for advice regarding their specific tax situations.

When you use the Platform we may collect:
We use your data to operate the Platform, process bookings and payments, send transactional emails (booking confirmations, contract notifications, payout receipts), surface relevant gigs and artists to you, and to investigate and prevent fraud or abuse. We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
When you visit the Platform's homepage, your IP address is sent to a third-party geolocation provider (ipapi.co) to estimate your approximate city. We use this only to pre-fill the "Find Live Music" city field so you don't have to type it. The result is cached in memory for up to 24 hours and is not stored in our database. You can clear or change the city field at any time, and the rest of the Platform works exactly the same whether or not we made a city guess.
If your browser sends a Do Not Track (DNT) or Global Privacy Control (Sec-GPC) signal, we skip this lookup entirely.
The Platform shares limited data with the following service providers as necessary to operate the service:
We use a small number of first-party cookies and browser storage entries strictly necessary to operate the Platform — most notably a signed session cookie that keeps you logged in, and an affiliate-referral cookie (30-day expiry) used only when you arrive via an affiliate link. We do not use third-party advertising or behavioral-tracking cookies.
We retain account, gig, contract, and payment records for as long as your account is active and for a reasonable period afterward so that we can respond to disputes, comply with legal obligations, and produce accurate tax reporting. IP-based geolocation results are cached for up to 24 hours and then discarded. You may request deletion of your account by contacting us at support@gigsfill.com; we may retain limited records as required by law (for example, transaction history for tax purposes).
