Artisans Almanac — Terms of Service

Effective date: June 18, 2026 · Version: 2.1 · Operator: Artisans Almanac ("we", "us", "Artisans Almanac") · Contact: hello@artisansalmanac.com

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of Artisans Almanac. Please also read our Privacy Policy, which is part of these Terms. Artisans Almanac is operated by an individual based in South Carolina, United States.

1. Acceptance

By creating an account or using Artisans Almanac (the "Service"), you agree to these Terms and the Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, don't use the Service. You must be 18 or older and able to form a binding contract.

2. The Service

Artisans Almanac is a tool for craft-show and market vendors to track shows, deadlines, applications, sales, and expenses, and to discover events. Artisans Almanac is an organizational tool, not an authority on any event. We do not run, endorse, or guarantee any show, organizer, or third party.

3. Accounts, Teams & Account Types

• Your account. You're responsible for your account, your credentials, and activity under it. Provide accurate info, keep your password secure, and notify us of unauthorized use. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.
• Teams (shared workspaces). You may invite others to a shared team. Everyone on a team can view and edit the team's shows, applications, expenses, notes, and profile. The team admin controls who is invited and may remove members; removing a member ends their access but does not delete the team's shared data. Don't invite anyone who isn't authorized to see the team's information.
• Account types. Vendor accounts are paid subscriptions (with a free trial). Organizer accounts are free and limited to submitting and managing event listings.

4. Subscriptions, Trial & Billing

• Free trial. We may offer a free trial of a stated length (which we can change for new sign-ups). Depending on the current setup, a payment method may be required to start the trial. At trial end, unless you cancel, your paid subscription begins and your payment method is charged.
• Billing. Paid plans are billed monthly or annually in advance via our payment processor (Square). Prices are shown at purchase.
• Auto-renewal. Subscriptions automatically renew at the then-current price for the same term until cancelled. By subscribing you authorize recurring charges.
• Cancellation. Cancel anytime from the Billing page; cancellation stops the next renewal and takes effect at the end of the current paid period. You keep access through the period you already paid for.
• Price changes. We may change prices; changes apply to renewals after notice and don't affect the current paid term.
• Trial abuse. One trial per person/household; we may refuse trials we believe are duplicative.

5. NO REFUNDS

ALL FEES ARE FINAL AND NON-REFUNDABLE. THERE ARE NO REFUNDS — NOT IN FULL, NOT IN PART, AND NOT ON A PRORATED BASIS — UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, EXCEPT WHERE A REFUND IS STRICTLY REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

For clarity, and to the maximum extent permitted by law:

• We do not issue refunds or credits for any payment, including monthly or annual subscription fees, renewals, or any portion of a subscription term.
• We do not prorate or refund for unused time, partial periods, or time remaining after you cancel, downgrade, are suspended, or are terminated.
• Cancelling stops your next renewal only. It does not refund the current period, and you remain responsible for charges already incurred.
• We do not refund based on lack of use, forgetting to cancel, dissatisfaction, missed deadlines or events, rejected or lost applications, downtime, errors in event information, or changes to features, pricing, or availability.
• Annual plans are paid in advance for the full year and are non-refundable in whole or in part, including if you cancel mid-term.

By subscribing you expressly acknowledge and agree to this no-refund policy. If a refund is ever required by law in your jurisdiction, it will be limited to the minimum the law requires.

6. Event Information — Accuracy Disclaimer (read this)

Event details in Artisans Almanac — deadlines, dates, fees, locations, and whether applications appear open or closed — come from you, other users, market organizers, public sources, and third parties, and may be incomplete, outdated, or wrong. Although we de-duplicate and review listings before publishing them, we do not guarantee that any event detail is accurate. You are solely responsible for confirming every detail (especially deadlines and fees) directly with the official organizer before relying on it. Artisans Almanac is not liable for missed deadlines, rejected or lost applications, fees, travel, or any loss arising from event information in the Service. Reminders are a convenience, not a guarantee of delivery or timing.

7. Your Content & the Discover Directory

• Your content. You retain ownership of content you add (notes, images, entries). You grant us a license to host and process it to operate the Service for you and your team.
• Event facts feed the Discover directory. When you add a show to your tracker, a narrow set of factual event details (event name, venue/location, dates, and links) is used to build and improve the shared Discover directory shown to other users, without identifying you. Contributing these factual details is a standard, non-optional part of using the Service — there is no opt-out. By using the Service you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable, perpetual license to use those facts for that purpose. This covers facts only: we never share your identity, application status, the application deadline, any fees (booth or application/jury) or amounts you paid, sales, expenses, notes, profile, or images.
• Organizer & other submissions. Anyone — including a market organizer — may submit factual event details for the directory. By submitting, you confirm the information is accurate to the best of your knowledge and that you have the right to share it, and you grant us the same license. We also compile event facts from publicly available sources. All listings are reviewed and may be edited, verified, declined, or removed at our discretion.
• Vendor reviews. Where review features are available, you may rate and review events you have actually attended. Reviews are your own opinions, not Artisans Almanac's; we do not endorse, verify, or guarantee them. You agree every review you post is truthful, based on your own first-hand experience, and free of unlawful, defamatory, harassing, hateful, threatening, deceptive, or infringing content, of other people's personal or confidential information, and of spam or paid/incentivized or competitor-manipulating content. We display reviews to other users only in aggregated and/or de-identified form (we don't show who wrote a review), and we may generate an AI-written summary of review comments to display on an event; like all AI output, these summaries are machine-generated approximations and may be inaccurate or incomplete. You grant us the license in this Section to host, display, adapt, translate, aggregate, and summarize your reviews for the Service. We may moderate, screen, edit, withhold, decline, or remove any review at our discretion, before or after it appears, and are not obligated to publish or restore it. You're responsible for your reviews and indemnify us for them under Section 14.
• Your responsibility. You will only submit information you believe accurate and have the right to share, and won't submit others' personal data or any unlawful, infringing, or harmful content.
• No compensation. Contributions are voluntary and uncompensated.
• Reporting & takedowns. If you believe a listing or other content is inaccurate, infringes your rights, or is otherwise objectionable, email hello@artisansalmanac.com with enough detail for us to locate it. If you are a copyright owner (or their agent), include the material at issue, your contact information, and a good-faith statement; we will review and may remove content and terminate repeat infringers. We may remove or edit any content at our discretion and are not obligated to restore it.

8. Acceptable Use

You won't: misuse or disrupt the Service; access it by automated means or scrape it; copy or resell its data; reverse-engineer it; infringe others' rights; upload malware; submit others' personal data without authorization; or use it unlawfully. The event directory is provided for your own use in finding shows — bulk extraction, automated collection, and redistribution of directory listings are prohibited. We enforce per-account rate and volume limits and monitor for abuse; attempting to circumvent them is a violation. We may suspend or terminate access for violations.

9. Third-Party Services

• Payments are handled by Square; their terms apply, and we don't store full card data.
• AI processing. Content you submit (text, screenshots, links, import samples, profile/show context for answer drafting, and review comments for summarization) is sent to a third-party AI provider (Anthropic) for the features described in our Privacy Policy. AI outputs are drafts or convenience signals only — they may be wrong or incomplete, are not professional advice, and you must review them before relying on or submitting them. Don't submit anything confidential you don't want processed this way.
• Other providers. We use third parties for email delivery, geocoding (map coordinates from the locations you enter), optional Google sign-in, hosting, and data storage.
• External sites. Links and event sources are third-party; we're not responsible for them.

We're not liable for third-party services' acts, outages, or data practices.

10. No Professional Advice

Artisans Almanac does not provide legal, tax, financial, or business advice. Tax/expense exports and ROI figures are informational tools, not advice; verify with a qualified professional.

11. Intellectual Property

The Service, its software, and branding are ours or our licensors'. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-transferable license to use the Service per these Terms. No other rights are granted.

12. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement. We don't warrant the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or that any information (including event details or reminders) is accurate, timely, or delivered. AI-generated output (including extracted fields, verification signals, import mappings, drafted answers, and review summaries) may be inaccurate or incomplete and is provided without warranty; you are responsible for reviewing it before use.

13. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, Artisans Almanac AND ITS OPERATOR WON'T BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, DATA, OR OPPORTUNITIES, OR FOR MISSED DEADLINES OR EVENTS. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 3 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, OR US $50. Some jurisdictions don't allow these limits, so they may not fully apply to you.

14. Indemnification

You'll indemnify and hold harmless Artisans Almanac and its operator from claims, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your content or contributions, your use of the Service, or your violation of these Terms or any law or third-party right.

15. Termination & Lapsed Accounts

You may stop using the Service and delete your account anytime. We may suspend or terminate access for violations or to protect the Service. If your trial or subscription ends, your account moves to a limited, read-only view where you can still see your dashboard, calendar, and pipeline and export your data, but can't add or edit shows or use the full Discover directory until you resubscribe. On termination, your license ends; you may request export/deletion of your data per the Privacy Policy. Termination does not entitle you to any refund (see Section 5). Sections that by nature should survive (5, 6, 7 license, 10–14, 17, 19, 20) survive.

16. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms. Material changes will be posted with a new effective date and, where they affect your rights, we'll request your acceptance before they apply to you. Continued use after changes means acceptance.

17. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of South Carolina, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.

Binding individual arbitration. Except for small-claims matters and requests for injunctive relief, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by binding individual arbitration, not in court. Arbitration will be administered under the rules of a recognized arbitration provider, seated in Kershaw County, South Carolina. You and we waive any right to a jury trial and to participate in a class, collective, or representative action; disputes are resolved only on an individual basis.

30-day opt-out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement within 30 days of first accepting these Terms by emailing hello@artisansalmanac.com with your account email and a clear statement that you opt out of arbitration. If you opt out, or where arbitration is unenforceable, disputes will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Kershaw County, South Carolina, and you consent to their jurisdiction.

18. Changes to & Availability of the Service

We are continually developing Artisans Almanac and may add, change, suspend, or discontinue any feature, plan, or the entire Service at any time, with or without notice. We won't be liable to you for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the Service. Whether any refund is owed on discontinuation is governed exclusively by Section 5 (No Refunds).

19. Force Majeure

We are not liable for any delay or failure to perform due to causes beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, outages, third-party service failures, network or hosting interruptions, labor issues, or government action.

20. Miscellaneous

These Terms (plus the Privacy Policy) are the entire agreement. If any provision — including any part of the arbitration agreement or class-action waiver in Section 17 — is held unenforceable, it will be limited or severed to the minimum extent necessary and the rest stays in effect (except that if the class-action waiver is held unenforceable, the arbitration agreement is void as to that dispute). Our failure to enforce a provision isn't a waiver. You can't assign these Terms; we may assign them, including in connection with a transfer of the Service. Contact: hello@artisansalmanac.com.
