Terms of Use

These Terms govern your access to and use of www.shorelinelivemusic.com.
Effective Date: July 28, 2026 | Last Updated: August 16, 2026

Who We Are
The Website is operated by Shoreline Live Music ("Shoreline Live Music," "we," "us," or "our"), based in Connecticut.

By accessing or using the Website, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree to them, do not use the Website.

Purpose of the Website
Shoreline Live Music provides information about live-music events, performers, venues, and related entertainment throughout the Connecticut shoreline and surrounding areas.

The Website is an informational event-listing service. Except for paid Featured Venue placements described below, Shoreline Live Music is not the performer, venue, promoter, booking agent, ticket seller, or event organizer for any listing, and does not sell tickets, take reservations, or process payments for events.

Event Information May Change
Event information may be submitted by venues, performers, event organizers, website users, public sources, social-media pages, or other third parties.

Although we may review or verify information, we do not guarantee that any listing is:

accurate
complete
current
officially confirmed
free from errors
available to the public
suitable for any particular visitor
Events may be changed, postponed, relocated, sold out, restricted, or canceled without notice.

Always contact the venue directly, or check the venue's official website or social-media page, before you travel to an event.

No Guarantee of Admission or Experience
A listing on the Website does not guarantee:

admission
ticket availability
seating
parking
food or beverage availability
accessibility
performer appearance
event quality
weather suitability
safety
compliance by a venue or organizer with applicable laws

You are responsible for your own decisions about whether to attend an event.

Featured Venues and Paid Placements
★ Featured Venue

Featured Venue placements are paid advertising. A venue marked with the Featured Venue badge, or shown in a Featured Venues section, has paid a fee to Shoreline Live Music for that placement.

A Featured Venue placement may include a badge, priority position in the Venue Directory or on the event calendar, an expanded venue page, or additional promotional treatment.

Paid placement affects where and how a venue appears. It does not affect the accuracy standards we apply to event listings, and it is not an endorsement, review, rating, or recommendation of a venue, its food and beverage service, its performers, or its safety practices.

Listings that do not carry a Featured Venue badge are unpaid editorial listings. We do not accept payment in exchange for a favorable description of any venue or performer.

Information about Featured Venue placement is available at Become a Featured Venue.

Age, Admission, and Venue Rules
Venues and event organizers may impose age restrictions, cover charges, reservation requirements, dress codes, conduct rules, alcohol restrictions, or other conditions. Some listed events are restricted to guests 21 and over.

You are responsible for confirming and following all venue and event requirements.

The Website is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. See our Privacy Policy for details.

Third-Party Links
The Website may contain links to venue websites, performer pages, social-media platforms, maps, ticketing providers, reservation systems, and other third-party services.

A link does not necessarily constitute an endorsement. Shoreline Live Music does not control and is not responsible for third-party content, products, availability, privacy practices, security, transactions, or conduct.

Any transaction with a third party is solely between you and that third party.

In addition, and notwithstanding the restrictions above:

A venue may share, repost, embed, or link to listings for events at that venue, including on its own commercial website and social-media accounts.
A performer may share, repost, embed, or link to listings for that performer's own appearances.
An event organizer may share, repost, embed, or link to listings for events that organizer is presenting.
