Why these documents matter
Bandmate is a small classifieds service for bands, musicians, and ensembles. The pages below explain, in plain language, what you agree to when you use the site, what data we collect and why, and what you can expect — and what you should not expect — from the service. We've written them to be read by musicians, not lawyers. If anything is unclear, email us at legal@bandmate.co.
We do not represent that postings on Bandmate will lead to gigs, payments, or any specific outcome. The directory is a meeting place; what happens between members after they meet is between those members. Read the general disclaimer and the earnings disclosure before relying on any figure you see on the site.
We try to revise these documents when the service changes in a material way. The "Last revised" column above shows the date of the most recent update for each document. For material changes we email active members at least 14 days before they take effect, per our terms of service.
