Terms of Use

Last updated: Saturday, October 31, 2026

These terms are the ground rules for using ArtsCal.org. By using the site or the app you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use it.

Personal use

ArtsCal.org is free for your own personal, non-commercial use. You may browse, make picks, and subscribe to your own calendar.

Event information

Where listings come from. Our software gathers event details from venues' own public calendars, feeds and ticket pages, and it can misread a page. We are not the venue or the seller, and we don't sell tickets. Times, prices and line-ups change, sometimes after our last check. Prices are as the venue lists them; fees may apply. Please confirm with the venue before you buy or travel. Tell us about a mistake and we'll fix it, usually within a day. We are not responsible for events, venues or third-party sites.

Short event descriptions are written by an AI model from the venue's own text and can get things wrong; the venue's page is the final word.

No reliance

ArtsCal.org is a free guide, not a promise. Please don't make plans or buy anything based only on what you see here.

Accounts

An account is free. Give us a real email address, keep your sign-in secure, and tell us if you think someone else is using it. You must be at least 13. You can delete your account at any time from More, Delete my account in the app, or by asking us (see the Privacy page). We may suspend or close accounts that break these terms.

Acceptable use

Please do not:

  • attack, overload, probe or try to break into the site, or get around its limits;
  • overload the site with automated requests (use the feeds instead);
  • send spam, or use sign-in emails to bother other people;
  • use another person's account or calendar link;
  • post or send anything unlawful, harassing or misleading;
  • pretend to be someone else or misuse the ArtsCal.org name.

Your personal calendar link shows your picks to anyone who has it. Do not share it unless you want them to see your picks. You can ask us to reset it at any time.

Reusing our feeds

events.json, events.ics and llms.txt are free to use, commercially too. Event facts belong to no one. Our short descriptions are AI-drafted from venue text, so we don't license them. Please credit "ArtsCal.org", link each event to the venue's page, refresh at least daily, and remove an event if the venue asks.

Crawling us

Please use the feeds. If you crawl pages, follow robots.txt, name your bot and go gently. We may block traffic that overloads the site.

Names and logos

Venue, artist and event names are used only to tell you what is on and where. They belong to their owners. We don't use venues' logos, and a listing doesn't mean a venue or artist endorses, sponsors or works with ArtsCal.org. If you'd like your name shown differently or not at all, tell us.

Content and links

Event details, names and images belong to their owners. Our design, text and code belong to us. We may change, hide or remove any listing, for example at a venue's or artist's request. Links to other sites are for your convenience; we do not control them and are not responsible for what is on them.

Our designated agent for copyright notices is David Payette, ArtsCal.org, 3 Oregon Trl, Waterford, NY 12188, contact@artscal.org. Include the work, the page link, your contact details, a good-faith statement that the use isn't authorized, a statement under penalty of perjury that the notice is accurate and you are the owner or authorized to act for them, and your signature (a typed name is fine). We remove material promptly, accept counter-notices, and end access for repeat infringers. A plain "please take this down" email works too.

No warranty

ArtsCal.org is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including accuracy, availability, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We do not promise the site will always work or be error-free.

Limit of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, ArtsCal.org and David Payette are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or for lost profits, tickets, travel costs or time, arising from your use of the site or from relying on event information. Our total liability for any claim is limited to $100. This applies whatever the legal theory, and even if we were told a loss was possible. Some places do not allow these limits, so they may not apply to you.

Indemnity

If you misuse ArtsCal.org or our feeds, or break these terms, and someone makes a claim against us because of it, you agree to cover our reasonable costs of that claim.

Changes

We may update these terms. The date at the top shows the latest version. Big changes are posted 14 days ahead, and account holders get an email. If you keep using ArtsCal.org after a change, you accept the new terms.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Disputes will be heard in the state courts in Saratoga County, New York, or the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of New York. Small claims court is always fine.
