Terms of Service

1. Who we are

Still On Tour (“the site”, “we”) is operated by Deadnorth LLC, [TO BE FILED — Deadnorth LLC mailing address]. Write to [email protected] for anything legal and [email protected] for anything else. A person reads both. The site is a member-built archive of live performance data — what was played, where, in what order — with a social layer around it: a wall, crews, show-day meetups, ride and crash-space boards, a lot for pins and posters. It hosts no audio and takes no money.

2. Eligibility

• You must be at least 16 to have an account. We ask your year of birth at registration and store only the year.
• The Road features — rides, crash space, missed connections, show-day meetups — are 18+ to post or respond. The first time you open one you will be shown a three-line notice and asked to acknowledge it.
• One account per person. An accurate email address that you control. A handle that does not impersonate anyone.
• If you have been banned, you may not register again under another address. Doing so is itself a reason to ban the new account.
• This service is not offered to persons located in the European Union, the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom. You are welcome to read; registration and posting from those places are closed. See section 14.

3. Your content and the licence you give us

You own what you write. By posting it you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, display, format, excerpt and adapt it as needed to run the site — show it on the page, in a feed, in a notification, in a search result, in a backup. The licence ends when the last backup copy of the content is gone, which is about 35 days after you delete it or your account. Two carve-outs, because an archive is a shared thing:

• Setlist, attendance and correction contributions are perpetual. A proposal the Committee approved is part of the historical record. When you erase your account it stays, credited to “a former member”. Your rationale, citation and comments on it are removed or blanked; the fact — song, position, segue, date, venue — is not.
• Other people’s replies remain. If someone quoted you, their post is theirs. Your words inside it are not removed by your erasure.

You must have the right to post what you post. Do not paste lyrics you do not own, someone else’s photo description, or a recording’s tracklist copied wholesale from a source that forbids it. Setlist facts themselves are public, historical facts and are not anyone’s copyright.

4. Prohibited conduct

The Community Guidelines are part of these Terms and say all of this in plain words. The list below maps one-to-one to the reasons on the report form. Do not:

• Harass, bully or threaten anyone; post hate; incite violence; make a credible threat to a person’s life or safety.
• Post anyone’s personal information — real names, addresses, licence plates, employers, phone numbers, handles elsewhere — that they did not put here themselves.
• Impersonate a person, a band, a venue, a crew or the site.
• Post sexual content of any kind, or intimate content of a person without their consent, or anything sexualising a minor. The last two are reported to the authorities.
• Promote or instruct self-harm, suicide or disordered eating.
• Sell, source or arrange drugs. Post payment links or handles. Offer or seek tickets above face value. Charge a fare for a ride. Exchange anything for crash space.
• Spam, advertise, scrape, automate posting, or manipulate votes.
• Post copyrighted material you do not have the right to post.
• Use an account while under the age floor, or help someone else do so.
• Try to break the site, probe other members’ data, or evade a block, a suspension or a ban.

5. Moderation

Moderation is report-driven: every surface has a Report control, and anyone — member or not — can use the open report form. We do not read every post and we make no promise to. A classifier may pre-screen text before a person sees it; if one is in use it is named on the Moderation and transparency page. Every decision to hide, remove, strike, suspend or ban is made by a person.

When we act on your content or account you receive a statement of reasons: what was restricted and for how long, what we relied on and whether a report triggered it, whether any automated step was involved, which rule or law applies, and how to appeal. Strikes come in three kinds (guidelines, safety, copyright) and count for 12 months. Any strike removes posting trust for 30 days. Three actioned copyright strikes in 12 months ends the account. The ladder is written out in the Guidelines.

Appeals go to [email protected]. A different person than the one who acted reads it where we can manage that. You may also go to court; nothing here stops you.

6. In-person activities

Rides, crash space, meetups, events and anything else arranged here happen in the world, between members, and we are not there.

We do not screen, vet, verify, insure, match, or supervise members, rides, hosts, guests, meetups or events. We take no fee. We are not a party to any arrangement between members. You assume all risk of meeting, travelling with, hosting or staying with another member, and you release Still On Tour, Deadnorth LLC and their officers, and the named organisers, drivers and hosts, from claims of ordinary negligence arising from those activities, to the fullest extent the law where you live allows.

• Rides are actual-cost sharing only — fuel and tolls, split. No fares, no profit, no payment through the site. A ride with a fare is a taxi, and we are not a taxi company.
• Crash space is offered for free. No money, no goods, no services, no expectations. A separate sleeping surface. No romantic solicitation. A guest may leave and a host may cancel at any time, without reason. No minors.
• Meetups are hosted by a member, not by staff. Every meetup ends at a physical, public place.
• Trust chips, shared-show counts and similar signals are computed from what members said they attended. They are not verification of anything.

Nothing in this section limits liability for our own gross negligence, wilful misconduct, or anything the law does not allow us to disclaim.

7. No emergency service

The site is not monitored in real time. If someone is in danger, call 911 or your local emergency number. Reports filed here are read by a person on a schedule, not by a dispatcher. Any “ping your crew” or peer-alert feature, if one exists, is a best-effort broadcast to members who opted in. It is not help, and nobody is on the way because of it.

8. Deleting your account

You can delete your own account from your account page. It is three steps so that nothing is destroyed by a click: your password, a confirmation link sent to your email, and a 14-day cooling-off during which your account is hidden and you can cancel from the same email. Then it runs.

You choose whether your posts go with you. The default is yes: wall posts, comments, crew posts, event posts, missed connections and similar are deleted. Otherwise they stay, unattributed. Either way, the perpetual carve-outs in section 3 apply. What stays regardless is listed in the Privacy Notice: reports about you with their snapshot, legal holds until they lapse, strikes for their term, a moderation ledger with your account number zeroed, your handle reserved for 12 months so nobody can pass as you, and encrypted backups for up to 35 days.

9. Copyright

We respond to notices under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Our designated agent, the required elements of a notice, the counter-notice process and the repeat-infringer rule are on the Copyright and DMCA page. Three actioned copyright strikes in 12 months ends the account. Catalog data — shows, venues, songs, running order — is first-party; if it is wrong, that is a correction, not a takedown: [email protected].

10. Disclaimers and limitation of liability

The site is provided as-is and as-available, with no warranty of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, non-infringement, or uninterrupted operation. Setlist data is frequently wrong; correcting it is the point. Do not rely on it for anything that matters.

To the fullest extent the law allows, our total liability to you for any claim arising out of or relating to the site or these Terms is limited to $50 US. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for loss of data, even if advised of the possibility. Some places do not allow some of these limits; where that is true, they apply only as far as allowed.

11. Governing law, venue, and how disputes are handled

• These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of [STATE — TO BE CONFIRMED], without regard to conflict-of-laws rules.
• Any dispute is brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in [STATE — TO BE CONFIRMED], and you consent to their jurisdiction. Small-claims court where you live is fine for a claim within its limits.
• Class and representative action waiver. You bring claims only in your individual capacity, not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective or representative proceeding.
• One-year limitation. Any claim must be filed within 1 year of when it arose, or it is permanently barred.
• There is no arbitration clause. If you want to sue us, sue us.

12. Changes

We will change these Terms. When the change is material you will be asked to accept the new version before your next post; the acceptance is recorded with the version string shown at the top of this page. Non-material changes (typos, contact details, clarifications) take effect when posted, with the date updated. A changelog is kept on the Moderation and transparency page.

13. Termination

You may leave any time (section 8). We may suspend or end your account for a breach of these Terms or the Guidelines, for a legal requirement, or because the site is closing. Where we end it for conduct you get a statement of reasons and an appeal route. Sections 3 (carve-outs), 6, 7, 10, 11 and this one survive.

14. Availability outside the United States

Still On Tour is operated from the United States for people in the United States. It is not offered to persons located in the EU, the EEA or the UK: registration, sign-in and posting are closed from those places and no marketing, language or currency is directed there. Reading is open to everyone. Every right and mechanism described in these documents — export, erasure, reporting, statement of reasons, appeal — is available to every member regardless of where they are. If that posture changes, this section, the Privacy Notice and the Contact and representatives page will say so first.

How you agree

At registration there is a separate, unchecked box: “I have read and agree to the Terms (including the release for in-person meetups, rides and hosting) and the Community Guidelines.” Registration does not proceed without it. Your acceptance, the version string, the time and a keyed hash of your address are recorded. You can see your own record in your data export.
