Terms of Use

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of upstateevents.co (the “Site”), operated by Upstate Events (“we,” “us,” “our”). By using the Site you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.

The service

Upstate Events is an event discovery site for New York's Capital Region. We aggregate event information from venue websites, ticketing platforms, public sources, and user submissions, and we publish editorial guides. Listings are provided for general informational purposes only.

Accuracy of listings

We work to keep listings accurate, but event details (dates, times, prices, availability, age restrictions, cancellations) are set by venues and organizers and can change without notice. Always confirm details directly with the venue or organizer before traveling, purchasing tickets, or making plans.

Event submissions

When you submit an event through our submission form or by email, you represent that the information is accurate and that you have the right to share it. You grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to publish, edit, format, and distribute the submitted information on the Site and in related communications (such as our newsletter and social media).

We may decline, edit, or remove submissions at our discretion. Submission does not guarantee publication.

Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use the Site to violate any law or the rights of others.
• Scrape, harvest, or copy listings in bulk without our written permission.
• Submit false, misleading, infringing, or unlawful content.
• Interfere with the Site's operation or attempt to gain unauthorized access.
• Use the Site to send spam, malware, or harassing communications.

Third-party links and venues

The Site contains links to third-party websites, including venues, ticket sellers, and organizers. We do not control these sites and are not responsible for their content, products, services, pricing, or privacy practices. Tickets and admission are sold by the third parties listed; any transaction is between you and that third party.
