Policies and disclosures

Legal, privacy and accessibility.

Important terms governing directory information, tickets, marketplace activity, reviews, privacy, accessibility and festival participation.

Terms of use

Users must provide accurate information, comply with applicable law and avoid fraud, harassment, scraping abuse, unauthorized commercial use, intellectual-property violations and interference with platform security. The platform may review, reject, suspend or remove content and access when reasonably necessary.

Privacy policy

The platform may collect account, listing, transaction, device, usage, communication and preference information to operate, secure and improve its services. Precise location should not be publicly disclosed by default. Payment credentials are handled by authorized payment processors. Users may request applicable access, correction or deletion through the contact page.

Cookie policy

Necessary technologies support security, sessions and core functionality. Analytics and advertising technologies should operate with appropriate notice and consent controls where required. Browser settings may limit some technologies but can affect functionality.

Event-information accuracy

Dates, times, venues, prices, schedules, performers, policies and availability can change. Automatically discovered information enters a review workflow, but users must confirm time-sensitive details with the official organizer before traveling, applying or purchasing.

Tickets, cancellations and refunds

The applicable organizer or seller controls inventory, admission, transfer, cancellation, weather, refund and credit terms. Demonstration listings cannot accept real payments. Stripe and PayPal processing should be enabled only for authorized live content.

Marketplace and independent providers

Performers, artisans, vendors, sellers and organizers are independent parties unless explicitly stated otherwise. The directory does not guarantee identity, licensing, safety, product quality, performance, availability or outcomes. Users must conduct their own diligence and use written agreements.

Review policy

Reviews should reflect firsthand experiences from verified ticket holders or confirmed attendees where supported. Incentivized positive reviews, fabricated reviews, conflicts of interest, harassment and disclosure of private information are prohibited. Organizers may respond and appeal moderation decisions.

Safety, costumes, weapons and assumption of risk

Festival attendance can involve crowds, animals, uneven terrain, heat, weather, performances, food, alcohol and props. Follow organizer rules, posted notices and staff instructions. The directory does not certify any costume weapon, prop, attraction, food or activity as safe or lawful.

Accessibility statement

We aim to support WCAG 2.2 AA practices and publish useful details about terrain, routes, seating, captioning, ASL, sensory considerations and service animals when available. Contact us to report a digital accessibility barrier. Confirm onsite accommodations directly with the organizer.

Advertising and affiliate disclosure

Featured placements, sponsorships and affiliate links may generate revenue and should be labeled. Payment never purchases a positive review, verification result or visitor-choice award.
