Terms of Service

1. Overview of Services

SwipeStage is a live music discovery and ticketing platform that allows fans to discover live events and purchase tickets, allows artists and event organizers to list events and sell tickets, provides optional music preview functionality, and processes ticket transactions through secure third-party payment providers. SwipeStage acts as a technology platform and marketplace. We are not the organizer of events listed on the Platform unless explicitly stated.

You agree to provide accurate information, maintain the security of your login credentials, and accept responsibility for activity under your account. SwipeStage reserves the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

4. Ticket Purchases

When purchasing tickets through SwipeStage, all sales may be final unless otherwise specified. Refund policies are determined by the event organizer unless SwipeStage explicitly states otherwise.

In the event of cancellation, refund processing will follow the organizer's stated policy.

Artists agree to provide accurate payout information, comply with applicable tax laws, and accept payout timelines as stated in the Artist Dashboard. SwipeStage is not responsible for delays caused by payment processors or banking institutions.
