Terms of Service

Bandhamster lets a band build a professional website and manage the work behind it: gigs, setlist, booking enquiries, availability and the people in the band. We give you the tools and host the result. We do not act as your agent or manager.

• You must be at least 18 and give accurate details when you sign up.
• Keep your login details safe. You are responsible for what happens under your account.
• Tell us promptly if you think someone else has access to it.

You keep ownership of everything you add: your band's name, words, images, recordings and the rest. To run the service we need your permission to host and display that content, so you grant us a licence to store, copy and show it for the purpose of operating your site and the platform. That licence ends when you remove the content or close your account, except for short-term backups that age out on their normal cycle.

This is the important one. When you upload anything to Bandhamster, you confirm that:

We cannot get those permissions for you, so we rely on you to have them. If content on your site breaches these promises, we can remove it. If you are featured in something on the platform and object, contact us at privacy@bandhamster.com and see our Privacy Policy.

Please do not use Bandhamster to:

• break the law or infringe anyone's rights;
• upload someone else's personal data without their permission;
• post content that is harmful, abusive, misleading or designed to deceive;
• send spam, or interfere with, overload or try to break the service.

When someone enquires through your site, any conversation, agreement, gig or payment is directly between your band and that person. Bandhamster provides the tools to manage it but is not a party to it, and is not responsible for the booking, the event or any payment between you.

There is a free plan, and paid plans for more features. You are billed through our payment provider for the plan you choose. Prices and any tax are shown before you pay, and you can cancel from your account at any time. We will give reasonable notice of any price change.

Bandhamster is offered as is. We work hard to keep it reliable, but we do not promise it will always be available or error-free. We may change or improve features over time.

You can close your account at any time. We may suspend or close an account that breaches these terms or puts the platform or other people at risk. When an account is closed we handle the data as described in our Privacy Policy.

Some liability cannot be limited by law, and we do not try to: that includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, and any rights you have as a consumer that cannot be excluded. Beyond that, and to the fullest extent the law allows:

• Bandhamster is a tool for building and running your site. We are not liable for your content, for any booking or event, or for anything that happens between you and a booker.
• We are not liable for indirect or unforeseeable loss, or for loss of profit, income, bookings, goodwill, opportunity or anticipated savings, or for loss of or damage to data. Please keep your own copies of anything important.
• We are not liable for problems caused by things outside our reasonable control, including outages of the third-party services we rely on, such as hosting, database or email providers.
• Our total liability to you for everything arising from the service is limited to the total amount you have paid us in the twelve months before the claim.

If we face a claim, loss or cost because of content you uploaded, or because you broke these terms, you agree to cover what we reasonably incur. This includes a claim by a rights-holder, or by someone featured in a recording or photo you uploaded without their permission.

We may update these terms as the service grows. We will update the date at the top, and flag significant changes. Continuing to use Bandhamster after a change means you accept the updated terms.

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction over any dispute.
