Description of the Application Services

The Gigle.me Application has been designed to simplify and accelerate the process of connecting Venues and Artists, offering an efficient, transparent, and secure platform for the search, booking, and payment of services. The core functionalities of the Application include:

Search and Discovery: The Application provides advanced filtering tools that allow Venues to identify suitable Artists for their events and Artists to find performance opportunities at suitable Venues, based on criteria such as location, type of event, and specific requirements.
Booking Management: Through the Application, Venues can send booking requests to Artists, negotiate terms through an organized counter-offer system, and manage their event schedule via a unified calendar.
Secure Payments: The Application features an automated payment system powered by Stripe, which ensures the secure and transparent processing of payments between Venues and Artists upon mutual confirmation of successful service delivery.

Purpose and Operation

The Gigle.me Application operates exclusively as an intermediary platform, providing the technological tools to facilitate communication, agreement formation, and payment execution between Venues and Artists. The Company is not a party to any agreements concluded between users and bears no responsibility for the quality of the services provided, the fulfillment of any agreements, or any disputes that may arise between the parties, except as expressly set forth in these Terms of Use.

The Application is intended exclusively for business-to-business (B2B) use and is not intended for individuals or consumers for personal use.

Services for Venues

Venues may use the Application to search for and select Artists who meet the needs of their events, thereby ensuring the creation of memorable experiences for their audience. The Application offers a user-friendly interface for the rapid and effective discovery of talent.

Services for Artists

The services provided by Artists (live performances and events) are real, physical services that take place outside the Application and in physical venues. The Application functions solely as a digital intermediary for search, booking, and payment purposes and does not provide, control, or supervise the actual delivery of these services.

Use of the Application is subject to these Terms of Use and all applicable laws and regulations.

1. SERVICES

The Gigle.me platform ("Services") provides an online marketplace that enables artists, venues, and related professionals to connect, communicate, and arrange potential collaborations and events.

Gigle.me acts solely as a technology platform and intermediary and is not a party to any agreements, transactions, or arrangements entered into between users. The Company does not guarantee the availability, quality, legality, or completion of any services, performances, bookings, or payments between users.

The Services are intended for use by individuals and businesses operating in the United States, including the State of Texas, and may be accessible from other jurisdictions. Users who access the Services from outside the United States do so at their own initiative and are solely responsible for compliance with applicable local laws and regulations.

We reserve the right to limit or restrict access to the Services in any jurisdiction at our sole discretion.

2. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

All rights, title, and interest in and to the Gigle.me platform and Services, including but not limited to software, source code, functionality, architecture, databases, design, user interface, text, graphics, logos, trademarks, and other content (collectively, the "Platform Content"), are owned by or licensed to the Company and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, the Company grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Services solely for legitimate business purposes related to connecting with other users and facilitating live event opportunities between artists and venues.

Except as expressly permitted, you may not copy, reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works from, publicly display, or otherwise exploit any Platform Content without prior written consent from the Company.

Users may submit, upload, or display content through the Services, including profiles, descriptions, images, logos, messages, and reviews ("User Content"). Users retain ownership of their User Content.

By submitting User Content, you grant the Company a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, host, store, reproduce, display, and distribute such content for the purpose of operating, improving, and providing the Services, including displaying profiles and facilitating interactions between users. This license may include the use of third-party service providers solely for technical and operational purposes.

You represent and warrant that you own or have all necessary rights to your User Content and that such content does not violate any third-party rights or applicable laws. You are solely responsible for your User Content.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Company from any claims, damages, or expenses arising out of or related to your User Content or your violation of these Terms.

The Company is not obligated to monitor User Content but reserves the right to remove or restrict access to any content at its sole discretion.

The Company respects intellectual property rights and will respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Repeat infringers may have their accounts terminated.

You further state that you are at least eighteen (18) years of age and have the legal capacity to enter into binding agreements. You agree that you are using the Services for legitimate business purposes related to your professional activities as an artist, venue, or other industry professional, and not for personal or non-commercial use.

You further represent and warrant that your use of the Services will comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and industry requirements, including but not limited to those relating to licensing, permits, taxation, employment, and intellectual property. You also represent that you possess all necessary rights, licenses, and authorizations required to offer, promote, or perform any services, events, or activities listed or arranged through the platform.

You acknowledge and agree that the Company does not guarantee any bookings, engagements, payments, or outcomes resulting from the use of the Services, and that you use the platform at your own risk.

If any information you provide is untrue, inaccurate, or incomplete, or if you violate these Terms, the Company reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to suspend or terminate your account and deny any current or future access to the Services, without prior notice.

4. USER REGISTRATION

To access and use certain features of the Services, you are required to create and maintain an active user account. You agree to provide true, accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to keep such information updated at all times. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials, including your username and password, and you accept full responsibility for all activities that occur under your account, whether authorized by you or not. You agree to notify the Company immediately of any unauthorized use of your account or any other breach of security. The Company shall not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to safeguard your account credentials or from unauthorized access resulting from your actions or omissions.

You may not create more than one account or create an account on behalf of another person or entity unless you are authorized to do so. The Company reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to refuse registration, suspend, or terminate accounts, or reclaim usernames that are deemed misleading, offensive, infringing, unlawful, or otherwise in violation of these Terms or the proper operation of the Services.

All personal information you provide in connection with your account is subject to the Company's Privacy Policy. By using the Services, you consent to the collection and use of your information in accordance with that policy.

The Company reserves the right to take any necessary actions to protect the security and integrity of the Services, including suspending or restricting access to accounts in the event of suspected fraud, abuse, or security incidents, without prior notice where appropriate.

5. SERVICES AND PLATFORM CONTENT

The Company provides the Services as an online marketplace that enables artists, venues, and related professionals to connect with and arrange live events. Information made available through the Services, including but not limited to artist profiles, service descriptions, pricing, availability, and other related details, is primarily provided by users and may be subject to errors, inaccuracies, omissions, or delays. The Company does not independently verify such information and makes no representations or warranties regarding its accuracy, completeness, or reliability.

You acknowledge and agree that the Company acts solely as a technology platform and intermediary and is not a party to any agreements, transactions, or arrangements between users. The Company does not guarantee the quality, legality, suitability, availability, or performance of any services, events, or engagements offered or arranged through the platform. Any dealings, agreements, or disputes between users are solely between the respective parties, and the Company shall have no responsibility or liability arising from or related to such interactions.

The Company reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to modify, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of the Services, including features, content, or categories, at any time and for any reason, without liability or prior notice where permitted by law. Where practicable, the Company may provide notice of material changes that may affect ongoing interactions between users.

The Services and all content made available through the platform are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. You agree that your use of the Services is at your own risk and that the Company makes no guarantees regarding the outcome of any interactions, bookings, or engagements facilitated through the platform.

6. TRANSACTIONS AND PAYMENTS

The Services may facilitate bookings and related payments between users for live events. All payment processing services are provided by a third-party payment processor, currently Stripe, and are subject to that provider's terms and conditions. By using the Services to make or accept payments, you agree to be bound by the applicable agreements of such payment processor, as may be updated from time to time.

The Company is not a bank, payment institution, or money transmitter and does not process payments directly. The Company acts solely as a technology platform that enables users to initiate and manage transactions through third-party providers. The Company does not hold funds on behalf of users, does not guarantee payments, and is not responsible for any payment processing errors, delays, failures, chargebacks, or disputes arising from transactions between users.

Users may be required to create and maintain an account with the payment processor to receive or send payments. You are solely responsible for providing accurate and complete payment information and for complying with all applicable requirements of the payment processor.

The Company may charge service fees or commissions in connection with transactions facilitated through the platform. Unless otherwise stated, all fees are non-refundable, including in cases of cancellations or disputes between users, to the extent permitted by applicable law. Any applicable fees will be disclosed prior to the completion of a transaction.

All payments shall be processed in U.S. dollars (USD), unless otherwise specified. Users are solely responsible for any taxes, duties, or other governmental charges associated with their transactions, including income, sales, or withholding taxes, as applicable.

The Company reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to refuse, suspend, or cancel transactions where necessary for security reasons, suspected fraud, violation of these Terms, or as required by the payment processor or applicable law.

Any disputes regarding payments, cancellations, or the performance of services must be resolved directly between the users involved. The Company shall have no responsibility or liability with respect to such disputes. Stripe's Privacy Policy: https://stripe.com/en-gr/legal/privacy-center

7. PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES

By using the Services, you agree not to access, use, or attempt to use the Services for any purpose other than as intended by the platform, which is to facilitate lawful business interactions between artists and venues. You agree not to engage in any activity that interferes with, disrupts, or compromises the security, functionality, or integrity of the Services or the experience of other users.

Prohibited activities include, but are not limited to, the following: attempting to access the Services through automated means (such as bots, scrapers, or scripts) without prior authorization; collecting, harvesting, or storing personal information of other users for unsolicited communications; creating accounts under false pretenses; impersonating any person or entity; exploiting the Services or platform content for commercial purposes without prior written permission; transmitting malware, viruses, or any other harmful code; reverse engineering, decompiling, or attempting to bypass security measures of the Services; interfering with the servers or networks connected to the Services; engaging in harassment, intimidation, or threats against any user, employee, or partner of the platform; and any other activity that violates applicable law or these Terms.

You acknowledge that the Company may, at its sole discretion, suspend, terminate, or restrict access to the Services for any violation of this Section or any behavior deemed harmful, abusive, or illegal, without liability to the Company.

8. USER CONTRIBUTIONS AND LICENSE

The Services may invite you to participate in professional discussions or to submit content through blogs, message boards, forums, or other interactive features, where you may create, post, publish, or distribute content and materials, including text, photos, graphics, comments, reviews, information, or other materials (collectively, "Contributions"). Contributions may be visible to other users of the Services and, where applicable, through third-party professional platforms. Therefore, any content you submit must be intended for professional use (B2B) and must not include material intended for private consumers.

You represent and warrant that:

You are the creator and owner of, or have all necessary rights, licenses, and consents to submit, your Contributions, including any third-party intellectual property rights.
Any identifiable individual depicted in your Contributions has provided consent for the use of their image, voice, or personal data for lawful purposes.
Contributions must not contain false, misleading, inappropriate, defamatory, or unlawful content, or unsolicited advertising.
Contributions must not violate any applicable law, regulation, or third-party rights, including intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or protection of minors.
Contributions must not contain content that promotes violence, hatred, deception, or threatens others, and must comply with these Terms and the proper use of the Services.

The Company reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to monitor, review, categorize, restrict, or remove any Contributions for security, operational, or legal compliance reasons. You are solely responsible for your Contributions and agree to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any claims, except to the extent caused by the Company's gross negligence or willful misconduct.

By submitting Contributions or linking your account to third-party accounts, you grant the Company and its professional partners a non-exclusive, transferable, and irrevocable license to host, use, copy, reproduce, publish, transmit, adapt, create derivative works from, and distribute your Contributions, solely for lawful professional purposes. This license applies across any media now known or developed in the future, and includes use of any names, corporate logos, trademarks, or images you provide for professional purposes.

You retain all ownership and intellectual property rights in your Contributions. The Company may review or modify Contributions for safety or operational reasons and reserves the right to reject any Contributions that do not comply with these Terms or applicable law. The Company ensures that any use of your Contributions respects your moral rights and is within legal boundaries. Contributions must also comply with the functional specifications of the Services to ensure proper display, storage, reproduction, and distribution to users.

9. SERVICE MANAGEMENT

We reserve the right, but are not obligated, to monitor the operation of the Services for purposes of security, technical maintenance, and compliance with these Terms. Such monitoring is limited to technical issues, violations of the Terms, and security concerns, and does not include personal or sensitive user content unless there is a clear legal basis. We may take appropriate legal action against any party who, in our reasonable judgment, violates applicable law or these Terms, including reporting to relevant authorities.

At our discretion and for operational or security reasons, we may refuse or limit access to any content or Contribution, modify it, or remove it temporarily or permanently, always respecting legal obligations and providing notice or opportunity to appeal where required. We may also remove files that are excessively large or burdensome to our systems to maintain the smooth functioning of the Services.

The purpose of these measures is to protect our rights and property, ensure the proper functioning of the Services, and comply with applicable laws and regulations. Such management actions do not constitute censorship or restriction of users' business activities, but are solely intended for maintenance, security, and regulatory compliance of the platform.

10. PRIVACY POLICY

Your use of our Services is governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into and forms an integral part of these Terms. The Privacy Policy describes in detail how personal data is collected, used, processed, and retained in accordance with applicable United States and Texas state law, including requirements for data protection, security, and user privacy. The Services are hosted in the United States, and by continuing to use them, you agree that any personal data you provide may be transferred to and processed in these jurisdictions in full compliance with applicable laws. We do not knowingly collect data from individuals under the age of 18, and if it is discovered that such data has been submitted without valid parental consent, it will be promptly deleted from the Services. The full Privacy Policy is available for review here, and we recommend that you read it carefully before using the Services to fully understand your rights and our obligations under Texas law.

11. TERM AND TERMINATION

These Legal Terms will remain in full force and effect while you use the Services.

Without limiting any other provision of these Legal Terms, we reserve the right, in our sole discretion and without notice or liability, to deny access to and use of the Services (including blocking certain IP addresses), to any person for any reason or for no reason, including without limitation for breach of any representation, warranty, or covenant contained in these Legal Terms or of any applicable law or regulation.

We may terminate or suspend your account and your access to or use of the Services or delete your account and any content or information that you have posted, at any time, in our sole discretion, with or without notice.

If we terminate or suspend your account for any reason, you are prohibited from registering and creating a new account under your name, a fake or borrowed name, or the name of any third party, even if you may be acting on behalf of that third party. In addition to terminating or suspending your account, we reserve the right to take appropriate legal action, including without limitation pursuing civil, criminal, and injunctive relief.

Users in the United States acknowledge that certain state laws (including Texas law) may provide additional rights or protections regarding account termination, to the extent such laws are applicable and cannot be waived.

12. MODIFICATIONS AND INTERRUPTIONS

We reserve the right, at our reasonable business discretion, to modify, update, or upgrade the content, structure, functionality, or technical features of our Services as necessary or appropriate to improve the Application, ensure its security and smooth operation, comply with legal or regulatory obligations, or adapt to technological developments. Any modifications that materially affect users, such as the removal of key functionality or substantial changes to the commercial operation of the Services, will be communicated in a reasonable manner and timeframe through in-app notifications or other appropriate means.

We also reserve the right to temporarily suspend or permanently discontinue, in whole or in part, the availability of the Services for reasons of technical maintenance, upgrades, system security, compliance with binding legal obligations, or due to force majeure events. In the case of scheduled and significant suspension or permanent discontinuation of the Services, we will make reasonable efforts to notify users in advance, unless the suspension or discontinuation results from unforeseen or urgent events that make prior notice impossible.

You acknowledge and agree that the Services are provided "as is" and "as available," and that temporary interruptions, delays, or technical errors may occur. We are not responsible for any damages arising from such temporary interruptions or availability limitations, provided they are not caused by willful misconduct or gross negligence. In all cases, our liability is strictly limited to the intermediary function of the Application and does not extend to loss of revenue or indirect damages of users.

13. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

These Legal Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, United States. Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to the use of the Services, or the interpretation or enforcement of these Terms, shall be resolved in accordance with Texas law.

The Parties agree that, before pursuing legal action in court, they may — but are not required to — make reasonable efforts to resolve disputes amicably through informal negotiations or voluntary mediation if deemed appropriate. Pursuing any form of alternative dispute resolution is not a prerequisite and does not limit the right to seek judicial relief.

If amicable resolution is not possible, or if any Party chooses to proceed directly to court, the courts located in Travis County, Texas shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any disputes. The Parties expressly consent to this jurisdiction and waive any objections based on lack of jurisdiction or inconvenient forum (forum non conveniens).

Disputes related to intellectual property or industrial property rights, unauthorized use of the Services, security issues, or requests for injunctive relief are not subject to informal resolution or mediation, and each Party retains the right to seek immediate judicial intervention.

14. CORRECTIONS

The Services may contain information that includes typographical errors, inaccuracies, or omissions, including but not limited to service descriptions, availability, technical specifications, or other information related to the operation of the Application. We make reasonable efforts to ensure the accuracy and currency of such information; however, we do not guarantee that the content of the Services will always be completely free of errors.

We reserve the right to correct, modify, or update any information on the Services at any time without prior notice, particularly in cases of obvious errors or technical inaccuracies. If such corrections materially affect an active professional transaction or confirmed booking, the affected users will be notified promptly via email or in-app notification and will be provided with a reasonable opportunity to cancel or adjust the transaction in accordance with principles of good faith and applicable Texas law.

15. DISCLAIMER AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

The Services are provided in accordance with these Legal Terms and applicable Texas law. We make reasonable efforts to ensure that the Services operate correctly, securely, and for their intended purpose; however, we do not guarantee that they will be uninterrupted, completely error-free, or fully secure at all times.

To the fullest extent permitted under Texas law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including but not limited to lost profits, loss of business opportunities, or reputational harm, arising from the use of or inability to use the Services. Our liability is not excluded or limited in cases of violation of mandatory legal provisions, fraud, or gross negligence.

We are not responsible for user-generated content, actions or omissions of third parties, or third-party services or links that may appear or be accessible through the Application, as further described in these Terms. Users are solely responsible for their use of the Services during their professional activities.

Nothing in this section limits rights that may not be waived under Texas law. If any provision of this section is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

16. USER DATA

We will retain certain data that you transmit through the Services for the purpose of managing the performance of the Services, as well as data regarding your use of the Services. Some data may be transferred to third-party providers outside the United States (e.g., Stripe, Google Cloud) with appropriate safeguards in place. While we regularly perform data backups, you are solely responsible for all data you transmit or that is associated with any activity you undertake using the Services.

17. ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS, TRANSACTIONS, AND SIGNATURES

When you use the Services or communicate with us via email or the application, you acknowledge that such communications are considered in writing and satisfy any legal requirement for a written form.

You consent to the use of electronic signatures, agreements, orders, and other documents through the Services, as well as the electronic delivery of notices, policies, or transaction records.

You waive any right to require a physical signature or paper delivery, except as required by law. Your electronic transactions and communications carry the same legal effect as traditional handwritten procedures.

18. INDEMNIFICATION

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Gigle.me, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, and partners (collectively, the "Platform Parties") from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, or expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs, arising out of or related to:

Your use of the Services, including any transactions or interactions with other users;
Any User Contributions or content you submit, post, or transmit through the Services, including claims of intellectual property infringement, privacy violations, or defamation;
Any violation by you of these Terms of Use, applicable law, or the rights of any third party;
Any claim resulting from your failure to comply with applicable rules, regulations, or obligations under U.S. federal, Texas state law, or other jurisdictions relevant to your activity on the Platform.

The Platform Parties reserve the right, at their own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, in which case you agree to cooperate fully. This indemnification obligation will survive the termination or suspension of your access to the Services.

19. THIRD-PARTY RELATIONSHIPS / MARKETPLACE DISCLAIMER

The Services provided by Gigle.me are intended to facilitate connections and transactions between independent third parties, including Artists and Venues. Gigle.me is a technology platform and intermediary only. We do not provide services as a principal or party to any transaction, and we do not control, supervise, or guarantee the actions, performance, or behavior of any third-party users.

By using the Services, you acknowledge and agree that:

Independent Parties: Any agreements, contracts, or transactions between users (such as bookings, event arrangements, or service provisions) are solely between the parties involved. Gigle.me is not a party to such agreements and assumes no responsibility for their execution.

You are solely responsible for performing your own due diligence before entering into agreements.

You agree to release, indemnify, and hold harmless the Platform Parties from any claims, losses, or liabilities arising from your interactions with third parties through the Services.

20. NO EMPLOYMENT / NO PARTNERSHIP

You acknowledge and agree that your use of the Services does not create an employment, agency, partnership, or joint venture relationship between you and Gigle.me or between any users of the Services. Artists, Venues, and other users of the platform remain fully independent and are solely responsible for their own actions, decisions, obligations, and compliance with applicable laws. Gigle.me does not control, direct, or supervise any third-party users and does not provide any employment benefits, compensation guarantees, or tax obligations on behalf of any user. All users are responsible for their own tax reporting, licensing, insurance, and legal compliance in connection with any services, transactions, or agreements facilitated through the Services. Any reference to Gigle.me in user communications or marketing materials must not imply an employment or partnership relationship. By using the Services, you expressly waive any claim that Gigle.me is your employer, partner, or co-venturer in any transaction or engagement conducted via the platform.

21. DMCA / COPYRIGHT POLICY

Gigle.me respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users to do the same. If you believe that any content available through the Services infringes your copyright or other intellectual property rights, you may submit a notification to Gigle.me in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and other applicable U.S. copyright laws. Each notification must include: (i) a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner; (ii) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed; (iii) identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing, with sufficient information to allow us to locate it; (iv) your contact information, including address, telephone number, and email; (v) a statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and (vi) a statement that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on behalf of the owner.

Gigle.me will respond to valid DMCA takedown notices by removing or disabling access to the allegedly infringing content. Users who repeatedly infringe copyrights may have their accounts terminated. If your content is removed as a result of a DMCA notice, you may submit a counter-notification asserting your rights to the material. All notices and counter-notices must be sent to the designated DMCA agent of Gigle.me, whose contact information is provided on the Services. By using the Services, you agree to comply with all applicable copyright laws and acknowledge that Gigle.me is not responsible for user-generated content except as required under the DMCA and other applicable laws.

22. GOVERNING LAW (TEXAS)

These Terms and all disputes arising out of or related to your use of the Services, including any claims relating to the interpretation, performance, or enforcement of these Terms, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

By using the Services, you expressly consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Travis County, Texas, for the resolution of any disputes that cannot be resolved through informal negotiation or arbitration as provided herein. You agree to waive any objection to jurisdiction or venue in these courts, including claims of inconvenient forum. Nothing in these Terms shall limit Gigle.me's right to seek injunctive or equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property, confidential information, or other proprietary rights.

All users acknowledge and agree that Texas law, rather than the law of any other state or country, will govern the interpretation and enforcement of these Terms, and that any statutory or common law rights are subject to the limitations, disclaimers, and remedies set forth herein.

23. MISCELLANEOUS

These Legal Terms and any policies or rules we post within the Services constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding your use of the application. Anything not explicitly stated herein does not modify or invalidate these Terms. The failure or delay in exercising any right or provision of the Terms does not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.

If any part of these Terms is found to be illegal or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full effect. You agree that the electronic form of these Terms is binding and does not require a paper signature. We reserve the right to assign our rights and obligations to third parties without notice.
