1. Agreement and operator
These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) govern your access to and use of ErieCalendar.com and its related pages, accounts, calendars, forms, communications, and services (collectively, the “Service”). By selecting “Agree and continue,” using the Service after being presented with these Terms, creating an account, submitting content, or purchasing or requesting a service, you agree to these Terms and acknowledge the Privacy Policy.
The Service is operated by Erie Calendar, LLC, a Pennsylvania limited liability company (“Erie Calendar,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). References to Erie Calendar in these Terms, the Privacy Policy, the Event Submission Agreement, the Live Beta and Event Accuracy Disclaimer, and the Service’s account, submission, advertising, and paid-service notices identify Erie Calendar, LLC as the operator and contracting party, unless expressly stated otherwise.
2. Live beta
The Service is a live beta. Features, coverage, data sources, availability, and functionality may change, contain errors, or be interrupted. We may add, modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service. The Live Beta and Event Accuracy Disclaimer is incorporated into these Terms.
3. Event information and aggregation
Erie Calendar aggregates, imports, transforms, categorizes, deduplicates, and displays event information from public websites, feeds, calendars, organizers, users, and other third-party sources. Automated processing may shorten, reformat, classify, merge, or update information. An Erie Calendar listing is informational only and does not mean that we organize, sponsor, endorse, verify, insure, license, or supervise the event or organizer.
Event dates, times, locations, admission terms, accessibility, age restrictions, ticket availability, cancellations, postponements, and other details may be inaccurate, incomplete, delayed, or outdated. Before traveling, paying, or relying on a listing, confirm material details directly with the organizer, venue, or official ticket source.
4. Third-party events, websites, and transactions
Third-party organizers are solely responsible for their events, statements, safety measures, permits, insurance, accessibility, staffing, admission decisions, refunds, and compliance with law. Links to organizer, venue, social-media, map, registration, and ticketing sites are provided for convenience. Those services are controlled by third parties and have their own terms and privacy practices. Except where Erie Calendar expressly sells one of its own services, we are not a party to a transaction between you and a third party.
5. Accounts and acceptable use
You must provide accurate account information, keep your sign-in method secure, and promptly notify us of suspected unauthorized access. You are responsible for activity under your account. You may not scrape or access the Service at a rate that burdens it; bypass security or access controls; introduce malicious code; impersonate another person or organization; submit deceptive, unlawful, infringing, or unsafe content; harvest personal information; interfere with the Service; or use the Service to violate law or another person’s rights.
We may review, reject, edit, hide, suspend, or remove accounts, listings, submissions, or access when reasonably necessary to operate or protect the Service, enforce these Terms, respond to complaints, or comply with law.
6. Event submissions and organizer responsibilities
If you submit, claim, edit, or manage an event, you also agree to the Event Submission Agreement. You represent that you are authorized to provide the information and materials; that they are accurate to the best of your knowledge; and that your submission and event comply with applicable law and do not infringe another person’s rights.
You remain solely responsible for the event, including venue permission, permits, licenses, insurance, security, crowd control, accessibility, food or alcohol service, performers, vendors, minors, weather planning, emergency procedures, taxes, admissions, cancellations, refunds, and all organizer communications. Erie Calendar’s review or publication does not transfer those duties to us.
7. License to submitted content
You retain ownership of content you submit. You grant Erie Calendar a worldwide, nonexclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, format, adapt, categorize, combine, distribute, display, and promote the content as reasonably necessary to operate, improve, market, and archive the Service and its calendars. You represent that you have all rights needed to grant this license. The license ends when the content is removed from active use, except for reasonable backups, records, legal compliance, and materials already used in completed promotions.
8. Corrections, removal, and intellectual property
To request a correction, attribution change, or removal, email info@eriecalendar.com with the listing URL, the requested change, your relationship to the event or material, and supporting information. We may verify the request and preserve records needed for security, disputes, legal compliance, or suppression of re-imported content.
The Service’s original design, software, branding, compilations, and original content are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. Those rights belong to their respective owners; operation of the Service by Erie Calendar, LLC does not mean that the company owns every item of intellectual property used on the Service. Third-party event information and marks remain the property of their respective owners.
Matthew D Orton is the applicant, in his personal name, for the pending Erie Calendar trademark application. The application has not completed registration. Operation of the Service through Erie Calendar, LLC does not by itself transfer that application or personally held trademark rights to the company. Nothing in these Terms grants permission to use Erie Calendar branding in a way that infringes another person’s rights or falsely suggests affiliation, sponsorship, or endorsement. Separately authorized uses and uses permitted by law remain available.
Copyright notices should identify the protected work, the allegedly infringing material and its location, your contact information, a good-faith statement, an accuracy and authority statement, and your physical or electronic signature. Send notices to the same email address. We may remove material or restrict repeat infringers.
9. Paid and promotional services
Advertising, sponsorships, featured placements, branded calendars, and other paid services may be offered now or in the future. The displayed proposal, order details, approved creative, service period, price, renewal terms, and any additional written terms become part of these Terms. Unless stated otherwise, charges are processed by Stripe, prices are in U.S. dollars, placement and creative remain subject to approval, and payment does not guarantee impressions, attendance, sales, or results.
Recurring services continue for the disclosed billing period until canceled. Cancellation stops future renewal and does not ordinarily refund a service period already started. One-time services do not renew. We may reject or remove promotions that are unlawful, misleading, unsafe, technically unsuitable, or inconsistent with the Service. Any legally required refund or cancellation right still applies.
10. Safety and assumption of risk
You decide whether to attend, organize, submit, purchase from, or otherwise interact with an event or third party. Events may involve travel, crowds, weather, physical activity, food, alcohol, animals, equipment, illness, crime, or other hazards. Use reasonable care, assess conditions and suitability, follow organizer and public-safety instructions, and seek professional advice when appropriate. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you assume the ordinary risks of attending or participating in third-party events.
11. Disclaimers
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICE AND ALL LISTINGS, CONTENT, AUTOMATED PROCESSING, LINKS, AND FEATURES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” ERIE CALENDAR DISCLAIMS ALL EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, TIMELINESS, AVAILABILITY, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, SECURITY, AND RESULTS. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT AN EVENT WILL OCCUR, THAT A LISTING IS AUTHORIZED OR CORRECT, OR THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE.
12. Limitation of liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ERIE CALENDAR, LLC AND THE SERVICE’S CURRENT AND FUTURE OWNERS, OPERATORS, MEMBERS, MANAGERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AGENTS, SUCCESSORS, AND ASSIGNS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES; LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OPPORTUNITY; OR LOSSES ARISING FROM A THIRD-PARTY EVENT, ORGANIZER, VENUE, WEBSITE, TICKETING SERVICE, CANCELLATION, INACCURATE LISTING, PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE, OR UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THEIR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID ERIE CALENDAR FOR THE SERVICE GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM DURING THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY OR (B) $100. THESE LIMITATIONS DO NOT APPLY TO LIABILITY THAT CANNOT LAWFULLY BE LIMITED, INCLUDING LIABILITY TO THE EXTENT CAUSED BY RECKLESS, WILLFUL, OR FRAUDULENT CONDUCT.
13. Indemnification
To the fullest extent permitted by law, you will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Erie Calendar and the persons and entities listed in Section 12 from claims, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, penalties, costs, and reasonable attorneys’ fees arising from your event, submission, content, organization, products or services, breach of these Terms, violation of law, or infringement of another person’s rights. This obligation does not require indemnification for a protected party’s own reckless, willful, or fraudulent conduct and will be applied only to the extent permitted by law.
14. Governing law and disputes
Pennsylvania law governs these Terms, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Unless applicable law requires otherwise, any court proceeding concerning the Service or these Terms must be brought in a state or federal court with jurisdiction in or over Erie County, Pennsylvania. Before filing a claim, please email info@eriecalendar.com and allow a reasonable opportunity to resolve it informally. These Terms do not require arbitration and do not waive any nonwaivable right.
15. Changes and general terms
We may update these Terms by posting a revised effective date. Material changes may also be presented through the Service. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance, except where law requires another form of consent. If a provision is unenforceable, it will be limited to the minimum extent necessary and the remaining provisions will remain effective. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign your rights without our consent; we may assign these Terms in connection with reorganization, financing, sale, or transfer of the Service. Assignment of these Terms does not by itself transfer intellectual property held separately by another owner.
