The Service

Cirquo is a discovery platform that helps users find Black-owned businesses, cultural events, and content creators in their city. Listings on the Service are aggregated from public sources and partner submissions; Cirquo does not own, operate, or endorse any third-party business, event, or creator featured on the Service.

Your Account

You may use the Service as a guest or by creating an account. If you create an account, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You must provide accurate information when registering and notify us promptly of any unauthorized use of your account.

User Content and Submissions

You may submit suggestions for businesses, events, creators, or reviews ("User Content"). By submitting User Content, you grant Cirquo a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to use, display, reproduce, and distribute that content within the Service. You represent that you have the rights necessary to grant this license and that your submissions do not violate any third-party rights or applicable law.

We reserve the right to remove any User Content at our discretion, including content that is inaccurate, misleading, abusive, infringing, or otherwise inconsistent with these Terms.

Third-Party Content and Links

The Service displays information about third-party businesses, events, and creators, and may link to external websites including ticketing platforms, social media profiles, and business websites. Cirquo does not control these third parties and is not responsible for their content, products, services, or practices. Your interactions with any third party are solely between you and that third party.

Cirquo does not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any information displayed is accurate, complete, or current. Event dates, business hours, contact information, and other details are subject to change by third parties without notice.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Cirquo will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or related to your use of the Service, including but not limited to losses resulting from inaccurate listings, cancelled events, or interactions with third-party businesses or creators.

Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms or if we discontinue the Service. You may stop using the Service at any time and may request account deletion by contacting us.
