By creating an account, publishing content, sharing a public link, purchasing BandPin Access or otherwise using BandPin, you agree to these Terms and the BandPin Privacy Policy.

If you use BandPin on behalf of a band, artist, service provider, food creator, culture organizer, venue, promoter, company, or other organization, you represent that you are authorized to bind that entity to these terms.

Description of Service

BandPin is a platform designed to help users discover bands, artists, Band Service profiles, FoodPin profiles, CulturePin profiles, products, menus, activities, service events, live events and local places, save favorites, browse map-based music discovery, share public content with others, and manage public profile-related content.

BandPin is not intended for children under 13 without any consent or permission required by applicable law.

User Accounts

Some features may require an account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for activities that occur under your account.

If you create or manage a band profile, Band Service profile, FoodPin profile, CulturePin profile, band member content, products, menus, activities, event listing, service event, or other public page, you represent that you are authorized to do so and that the information you publish is not misleading, fraudulent, defamatory, or impersonating another person or entity.

BandPin can be used through a browser and through the iPhone and Android apps. Users may create an account and sign in on any supported platform. Profile owners may create and manage one or more profiles and related Dashboard content where those tools are available.

Some account actions may require email confirmation before they become fully available.

Public Profiles, Public Links, and Visibility

BandPin may create public pages for band profiles, Band Service profiles, FoodPin profiles, CulturePin profiles, events, shared map views, and selected location-based content.

If you use BandPin’s sharing features, the resulting public link may be accessible to anyone who receives it. Public pages may include information such as a band name, service name, FoodPin name, CulturePin name, category, band member details, products, offers, menus, activities, artist details, event title, image, description, date, place, city, contact details you choose to publish, tickets, or map-related details.

If a profile is updated through BandPin on web or in the app, those changes may affect the public profile, public event pages, share previews, analytics, and notifications shown or sent through BandPin.

Third-party services such as messaging apps, social platforms, browsers, or search engines may generate previews or cache public pages. BandPin does not fully control how those third-party services display or refresh public previews.

Location and Map Features

BandPin includes map and location-based features to help users discover bands, Band Services, FoodPin profiles, CulturePin profiles, events, products, activities, venues, and related places.

If you publish a location through a band profile, event, or other public content, you are responsible for the information you make public. Do not publish a private residential location unless you explicitly want it associated with that content.

BandPin may also use current-location and manual place search features to support nearby discovery, My Location, map search, and related app flows.

Camera, Photos, and Media

BandPin may let you upload photos from your device, choose photos from your photo library, or use camera-related features to capture or attach images for supported content such as band profiles, band member profiles, products, menus, activities, or events.

You are responsible for ensuring that you have the right to use and publish any image, photo, logo, artwork, or other media you upload or share through BandPin.

We may remove, restrict, or refuse media that violates these terms or creates risk for users or the service.

User Content

BandPin may display band profiles, Band Service profiles, FoodPin profiles, CulturePin profiles, band member information, product information, menu information, activity information, event information, images, descriptions, links, contact details you choose to publish, map-related information, and other user-provided or third-party content.

You retain ownership of content you submit, but by uploading or publishing content through BandPin, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, display, and distribute that content only as needed to operate, maintain, improve, secure, and present the service.

You are responsible for ensuring that you have the rights to use and publish any content you upload or share.

Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Use BandPin for unlawful, harmful, abusive, or fraudulent purposes.
• Interfere with the operation, security, or integrity of the service.
• Attempt unauthorized access to accounts, systems, or data.
• Upload, publish, or share content you do not have the right to use.
• Create fake, misleading, or impersonating profiles, products, activities, or event pages.
• Use scraping, bots, malware, or similar methods to exploit or disrupt the service.
• Use the service in a way that may damage BandPin or other users.

Content Accuracy and Availability

BandPin may display profiles, products, menus, activities, event information, images, descriptions, and other user-provided or third-party content. We do not guarantee that all content is complete, accurate, current, or up to date at all times.

We may remove, restrict, or refuse content that violates these terms or creates risk for users or the service.

We also do not guarantee uninterrupted availability, flawless map results, successful delivery of every email, successful image upload on every network or device, perfect deep-link behavior, or uninterrupted operation when a device is offline or connectivity is unstable.

Intellectual Property

BandPin and its branding, design, service elements, software, and visual materials are protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, or misuse BandPin materials except as permitted by law or with prior permission.

If you believe content on BandPin infringes your rights, you may contact us at legal@bandpin.com.

Third-Party Services

BandPin may rely on or link to third-party services, platforms, or content. We are not responsible for third-party websites, services, content, or policies.

This includes social media platforms, music services, map services, payment platforms, app stores, subscription services, image handling infrastructure, and services that generate previews for public links.

Notifications and Updates

BandPin may support notifications or in-app notices related to favorite profiles, new events, event updates, cancellations, profile changes, service activity, FoodPin, CulturePin, access, security, or account status. Notification availability depends on device settings, app permissions, platform delivery, and the features enabled in BandPin.

Updates made through BandPin on web or in the app may affect what other users see or receive where notification features are available.

BandPin Access, Payments, and Billing

BandPin can be browsed without charge. BandPin Access is a paid annual subscription without a free trial. The current price is NOK 35 per year and is charged from the day the subscription starts.

Billing may be handled by Apple App Store, Google Play, or a RevenueCat web purchase flow using Stripe, depending on the device and platform. Subscription management, cancellation, renewals, restore handling, and refunds are generally handled according to the rules of the provider used for the purchase.

Auto-renewing subscriptions continue until cancelled through the provider used for the purchase, unless otherwise stated by that provider.

Prices and included features may change over time to the extent permitted by applicable law and platform rules.

Offline Use and Connectivity

BandPin depends on internet access for many live features, including discovery, maps, account syncing, profile updates, event loading, sharing, and purchase or restore checks.

If your device is offline, some features may not work and the app or website may show an offline or connectivity-related message until connection is restored.

Termination and Account Deletion

We may suspend or terminate access to BandPin if necessary to protect the service, comply with legal obligations, address violations of these terms, or protect users, rights holders, or the service itself.

Account deletion is permanent and may remove your account data, favorites, profile information, member content, products, menus, activities, events, and connected profile content.

Account deletion does not automatically cancel an active subscription. Subscription cancellation must generally be handled through Apple App Store, Google Play, or the RevenueCat and Stripe management flow used for the purchase.

Public content that has already been shared, cached, indexed, or previewed by third-party services may continue to exist outside BandPin’s systems for some time.

Disclaimers

BandPin is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We do not make warranties of any kind regarding availability, reliability, accuracy, fitness for a particular purpose, successful delivery of every email, deep-link behavior, restore behavior, map results, search results, or uninterrupted operation.

BandPin does not endorse any specific band, artist, service, food creator, culture organizer, venue, event, or third-party service unless explicitly stated.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, BandPin shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from use of the service.

Nothing in these terms limits liability where such limitation is not allowed under applicable law.

Changes to the Service or Terms

We may update the service or these Terms of Service from time to time. Updated terms will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date.

Continued use of BandPin after updated terms take effect means you accept the revised terms.

Governing Law

These terms shall be governed by the laws of Norway, unless otherwise required by applicable law.

Disputes relating to the service shall be handled by the competent courts in Norway, unless mandatory rules provide otherwise.
