Curi

Curi is currently in early access. A dedicated legal entity for the service is being formed; until then these documents refer to the operator of the Curi service. They will be updated with the entity name when formation completes.

Terms of service

Last updated August 31, 2026

1. Agreement to these terms

These terms of service (the “Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and the operator of the Curi service(“Curi”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). They govern your access to and use of the Curi website at curi.events and www.curi.events, the Curi mobile application, and every feature, content surface, and service we offer through them (together, the “Service”).

By creating an account, or by accessing or using the Service, you accept these Terms, our privacy policy, and our community guidelines (which are part of these Terms). If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

Please read section 15 carefully. It requires that most disputes between you and Curi be resolved through binding individual arbitration, and it waives your right to a jury trial and to participate in a class action. Section 15.8 explains how to opt out within 30 days.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to use the Service. By using the Service you represent that you are 18 or older, that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms, and that you are not barred from using the Service under any applicable law. We do not knowingly permit anyone under 18 to create an account, and we will close accounts we discover to belong to anyone under 18.

The Service is operated from the United States and is currently directed to users in the United States.

3. The service

Curi helps you discover live music events, keep a record of the nights you attend, and share that with friends: an event catalog with artist and venue pages, saves and RSVPs, reviews with photos and short videos, comments, reactions, lists, and a friends activity feed.

Curi is in active development and currently in an early access period. Features may change, be added, or be removed at any time, and access to the Service may be limited, gated (for example by invitation, access code, or waitlist), suspended, or discontinued at our discretion. We may establish limits on use or storage at any time. The Service is currently free of charge; if paid features are ever introduced, they will come with their own terms presented at the time.

4. Your account

You sign in to Curi with a supported third-party identity provider (such as Apple or Google) or with credentials we issue. You are responsible for the security of your sign-in method and for all activity that happens under your account. Notify us at support@curi.events immediately if you believe your account has been accessed without your authorization.

Information you provide in connection with your account must be accurate, and you may not impersonate any person or entity or use a username that infringes anyone’s rights. One account per person; accounts are for your personal, non-commercial use and may not be sold, transferred, or shared.

You can delete your account at any time in Settings, on the web or in the app. Deletion is permanent; section 4 of the privacy policy describes what happens to your data.

5. Your content

5.1 Ownership

“Your Content” means everything you submit to the Service: reviews and ratings, photos and videos, comments, RSVP notes, lists, profile information, reactions, and any other material you post. Your Content remains yours. We claim no ownership of it.

5.2 License to us

So that we can operate the Service, you grant Curi a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to host, store, reproduce, adapt (for example, to reformat or create thumbnails), publish, display, and distribute Your Content, in each case in connection with operating, improving, and promoting the Service. This license respects the visibility settings you choose for each piece of content. It ends when you delete the content or your account, except that (a) removal from backup systems and caches may take a limited additional period, (b) content you shared with others may remain visible where they have re-shared or interacted with it as the product design describes, and (c) we may retain copies where required by law or needed to enforce these Terms.

5.3 Your responsibilities for Your Content

You are solely responsible for Your Content. You represent that you own it or have all rights needed to post it and to grant the license above, and that it does not infringe or misappropriate anyone’s intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights, and complies with these Terms, the community guidelines, and applicable law. If your photos or videos include other people, you are responsible for having whatever permission is appropriate to share them.

5.4 Moderation

We do not pre-screen content, but we reserve the right (not the obligation) to review, refuse, flag, restrict the visibility of, or remove any content at any time and for any reason, including content we believe violates these Terms or the community guidelines, without notice and without liability. We may also consider relevant off-platform behavior when making enforcement decisions. Reporting and blocking tools are available on user content surfaces throughout the Service.

6. Acceptable use

You agree not to, and not to attempt to:

  • use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms or the community guidelines;
  • harass, threaten, defame, dox, or otherwise abuse any person, or post content that is hateful, sexually explicit, exploitative of minors in any way, or that incites or glorifies violence;
  • post spam, chain content, or commercial solicitations, or use the Service to promote a business without our written permission;
  • scrape, harvest, crawl, or bulk-download data from the Service, or access it by any automated means (including bots and AI agents) other than interfaces we make publicly available for that purpose;
  • probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Service, bypass any security or access control (including access gates and rate limits), or interfere with the Service’s operation;
  • reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any part of the Service except to the extent the law expressly permits it despite this restriction;
  • create accounts or submit content by automated means, mint, share, or redeem access codes in ways we have not authorized, or misrepresent your identity to us or to other users;
  • vandalize the catalog: submit events, artists, or venues you know to be false, or manipulate ratings, saves, or other signals; or
  • use another person’s account, or sell, rent, or transfer yours.

7. Events, venues, and tickets

7.1 The catalog is informational

The Curi event catalog is aggregated from publicly available sources (such as ticketing platforms, event listing services, and venue websites) and from user submissions, and is processed with automated tooling. It is provided for information and discovery only. We do not organize, host, sponsor, endorse, or control any event, artist, or venue listed on the Service, and we make no promise that any listing (including dates, times, prices, lineups, or venues) is accurate, complete, or current. Events change and get cancelled; always confirm details with the venue or ticket seller.

7.2 Tickets are third-party transactions

Curi does not sell tickets. “Get tickets” and similar links take you to third-party sellers, and any purchase is solely between you and that seller, on their terms. We are not a party to those transactions and are not responsible for pricing, availability, fees, refunds, cancellations, or anything else about them.

7.3 Attending events is at your own risk

If you attend an event you found through the Service, you do so voluntarily and at your own risk. To the maximum extent permitted by law, you assume all risks arising out of or related to attending any event, and Curi is not responsible or liable for anything that occurs at, en route to, or in connection with any event, including personal injury, death, property damage or loss, or the acts or omissions of venues, organizers, performers, security staff, or other attendees. You are responsible for complying with each venue’s rules, including age and identification requirements.

7.4 Interactions with other users

You are solely responsible for your interactions with other users, online and off. We do not screen users and make no representations about anyone’s conduct. Use good judgment when connecting with people or meeting anyone in person.

8. Third-party services and content

The Service links to and embeds content from third parties: ticketing pages, artist audio players (such as SoundCloud and Bandcamp embeds), optional connected accounts, and external websites. Those services belong to their operators and are governed by their own terms and privacy policies. We do not control, endorse, or assume responsibility for any third-party service or content, and your use of them is at your own risk.

9. Our intellectual property

The Service itself, including its software, design, look and feel, text, graphics, logos, and the selection, arrangement, and curation of the catalog, is owned by Curi or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Service, including the mobile application on devices you own or control, for your personal, non-commercial use in accordance with these Terms. All rights not expressly granted are reserved. The Curi name and logo may not be used without our prior written permission.

Event, artist, and venue names, images, and related materials that appear in the catalog belong to their respective owners; their appearance on the Service does not imply any affiliation with or endorsement of Curi.

10. Feedback

If you send us ideas, suggestions, or other feedback, you grant us an irrevocable, perpetual, royalty-free license to use it for any purpose without restriction or compensation, and we have no obligation to keep it confidential.

We respect intellectual property rights and expect users to do the same. If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, send a notice to our copyright agent at support@curi.events with the subject line “DMCA notice”, including: (a) your physical or electronic signature; (b) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed; (c) identification of the material claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient to locate it on the Service; (d) your contact information; (e) a statement that you have a good faith belief the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and (f) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act for the owner.

We may remove or disable access to allegedly infringing material, may forward notices to the affected user, accept counter-notices that comply with 17 U.S.C. § 512(g), and will terminate the accounts of repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances. Misrepresentations in a notice or counter-notice can make you liable for damages under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f).

12. Apple App Store terms

If you use the Curi iOS application, the following also applies. These Terms are between you and Curi only, not with Apple Inc. (“Apple”), and Apple is not responsible for the application or its content. Your license to the application is limited to a non-transferable license to use it on Apple-branded products that you own or control, as permitted by the App Store Terms of Service (except that the application may be accessed by other accounts associated with yours via family sharing or volume purchasing). Apple has no obligation to furnish any maintenance or support for the application. In the event the application fails to conform to an applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund any purchase price you paid for the application (if any); to the maximum extent permitted by law Apple has no other warranty obligation, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to a failure to conform to a warranty are governed by these Terms. Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims by you or a third party relating to the application, including product liability claims, claims that the application fails to conform to legal or regulatory requirements, and consumer protection or similar claims. In the event of a third-party claim that the application or your possession and use of it infringes intellectual property rights, Curi, not Apple, is responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of the claim to the extent required by these Terms. You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. government embargo or designated a “terrorist supporting” country, and that you are not on any U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of this section and may enforce it against you.

13. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE AND ALL CONTENT ON IT ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, CURI DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, CURI MAKES NO WARRANTY THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE; THAT ANY CONTENT, INCLUDING EVENT LISTINGS, WILL BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, OR CURRENT; OR THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED. NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION OBTAINED FROM CURI OR THROUGH THE SERVICE CREATES ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY MADE HERE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN WARRANTY EXCLUSIONS, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

14. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW: (A) IN NO EVENT WILL CURI OR ITS OWNERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AGENTS, LICENSORS, OR SERVICE PROVIDERS (THE “CURI PARTIES”) BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, USE, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND EVEN IF A CURI PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES; (B) IN NO EVENT WILL THE CURI PARTIES’ TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNTS YOU HAVE PAID CURI IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AROSE OR ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100); AND (C) THE CURI PARTIES ARE NOT LIABLE FOR EVENTS, VENUES, TICKET SELLERS, OTHER USERS, OR ANY THIRD-PARTY CONDUCT OR CONTENT, INCLUDING ANYTHING THAT OCCURS AT AN EVENT. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU; IN THAT CASE THE CURI PARTIES’ LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THE LAW PERMITS. THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION ARE FUNDAMENTAL TO THE BARGAIN BETWEEN YOU AND CURI AND APPLY EVEN IF A REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

15. Indemnification, disputes, and arbitration

15.1 Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Curi Parties from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) Your Content; (b) your use of the Service, including your attendance at any event; (c) your violation of these Terms or of any law; or (d) your violation of any third party’s rights. We may assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, in which case you agree to cooperate with our defense.

15.2 Informal resolution first

Before filing an arbitration or any permitted court claim, you and Curi each agree to try to resolve the dispute informally. Send a written notice to support@curi.events with the subject “Dispute notice” describing the dispute, the supporting facts, and the relief you seek, and including your name and the email associated with your account. We will do the same if we have a dispute with you, using the email on your account. If the dispute is not resolved within 60 days after the notice is received, either party may proceed under this section. This step is a condition to starting any arbitration or claim.

15.3 Binding individual arbitration

Except as provided in section 15.5, you and Curi agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms (including their formation, interpretation, breach, or termination, and including claims that arose before you accepted these Terms) will be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect, as modified by this section. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this agreement to arbitrate. The arbitrator (not a court) has exclusive authority to resolve disputes about the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this arbitration agreement, except that only a court may decide disputes about the validity or scope of the class action waiver in section 15.4.

The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator, in English. For claims of $25,000 or less, the arbitration will be conducted on the basis of documents only, unless the arbitrator decides a telephonic or video hearing is appropriate or either party requests one; any in-person hearing will be held in the county where you live or another mutually agreed location. Payment of filing, administration, and arbitrator fees is governed by the AAA’s rules; if your claim is for $10,000 or less and is not frivolous, Curi will pay the portion of those fees that exceeds the amount you would pay to file the claim in court. The arbitrator may award the same individual relief a court could, must follow these Terms, and must issue a reasoned written decision. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

15.4 Class action and jury waiver

YOU AND CURI EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES’ INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, AND THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS. IF THIS PARAGRAPH IS FOUND UNENFORCEABLE AS TO A PARTICULAR CLAIM FOR RELIEF, THEN THAT CLAIM (AND ONLY THAT CLAIM) MUST BE SEVERED AND BROUGHT IN COURT, AND ALL OTHER CLAIMS REMAIN SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION.

15.5 Exceptions

Either party may (a) bring an individual claim in small claims court if it qualifies, and (b) seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement or misuse of intellectual property rights or unauthorized access to the Service.

15.6 Mass filings

If 25 or more arbitration demands of a substantially similar nature are filed against Curi by the same or coordinated counsel or entities, the demands will be resolved in staged proceedings: the parties will each select up to 10 demands to proceed first as bellwether arbitrations, and the remaining demands will be held in abeyance (with any applicable statutes of limitations tolled) until the bellwether arbitrations conclude, after which the parties will engage in a global mediation before further staged sets proceed. A court may enforce this paragraph.

15.7 One-year limit on claims

To the extent permitted by law, any claim arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms must be filed within one year after the claim accrued, or it is permanently barred.

15.8 Your right to opt out

You may opt out of this arbitration agreement (sections 15.3 through 15.6) by emailing support@curi.events with the subject “Arbitration opt-out” within 30 days after you first accept these Terms, stating your name and the email associated with your account. Opting out does not affect any other part of these Terms, including the class action waiver to the extent the law allows it to stand independently, and does not affect any earlier arbitration agreement between us.

16. Suspension and termination

We may suspend, restrict, or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, including if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms or the community guidelines, created risk or possible legal exposure for us or other users, or if we discontinue the Service. Where practicable we will tell you why. You may stop using the Service, or delete your account, at any time. Sections that by their nature should survive termination do survive, including sections 5.2 (to the extent stated there), 10, 13, 14, 15, and 18.

17. Changes to these terms

We may revise these Terms from time to time. If a change is material, we will give notice before it takes effect, for example in the app, on the website, or by email, and update the date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the Service after a change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree, stop using the Service and delete your account. Material changes to section 15 will apply prospectively only, and you may reject them by writing to us within 30 days of the notice, in which case the prior arbitration terms continue to apply to you.

18. General

Governing law and venue. These Terms and any dispute arising out of them or the Service are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict of laws principles. Subject to section 15, any claim not subject to arbitration must be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in New York, and you consent to their jurisdiction.

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the remaining provisions remain in full force.

No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later.

Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign them, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, or by operation of law.

Force majeure. We are not liable for any delay or failure caused by events beyond our reasonable control.

Electronic communications. You consent to receive communications from us electronically (in the app, on the site, by push notification, or by email), and agree that they satisfy any legal requirement that communications be in writing.

Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the privacy policy and community guidelines, are the entire agreement between you and Curi about the Service and supersede any prior agreements about it.
