1. Agreement to Terms

By accessing or using LocalGroove (the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service.

LocalGroove is operated as a sole proprietorship doing business as LocalGroove ("we," "us," or "our").

2. Our Mission

LocalGroove exists to help music enthusiasts, bands, and venues—especially independent venues and smaller artists—connect so live music can continue to thrive. We aim to provide the best possible match between you and live music experiences, not to maximize revenue.

Transparency Commitment: Any sponsored or paid content placement will be clearly identified. We do not use potential advertising revenue as the primary factor in how we prioritize or display information.

Event listings and schedules
Artist information, including embedded videos and music samples
Venue information and links
Personalized recommendations based on your preferences
Search and filtering tools

Artist and Band Matching

We use algorithms to match artist names with related information (videos, music, genres).
