    1. Acceptance of Terms

    These Terms of Service govern your use of What's Local at www.seekwhatslocal.com. By using our website, submitting information, or registering for an event, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use our website or services.

    2. What's Local

    What's Local helps people discover local workshops, events, makers, spaces, and small businesses. Some events are listed for discovery and may link to external websites. Other events may allow registration, RSVP, waitlist, or payment through What's Local.

    3. Event Registration

    When you register for an event or workshop, you agree to provide accurate information. Your spot may be subject to capacity limits, payment confirmation, host approval, or event-specific requirements.

    Your name and email address will be shared with the workshop host or provider for the event you registered for so they can manage registration, check-in, updates, and attendee support.

    4. Payments and Refunds

    Some paid events may use third-party payment providers, manual payment methods, or host-managed payment instructions. Your spot may not be confirmed until payment is completed or verified.

    Refunds, cancellations, transfers, and credits may vary by event and host. Any event-specific refund policy shown on the event page or event terms will apply.

    5. Event Terms

    Some events may include additional event-specific terms, safety guidelines, age requirements, refund rules, or participation requirements. By registering, you agree to follow the event terms and the host's reasonable instructions.

    6. Photos and Videos

    Photos or videos may be taken at What's Local events and workshops. What's Local may use event media for recaps, social media, website content, and marketing for What's Local or future workshops. If you do not want your image used, email hello@seekwhatslocal.com.

    7. External Events and Third-Party Sites

    Some listings link to external websites, ticketing platforms, payment services, maps, calendars, social media pages, or host websites. We are not responsible for third-party websites, policies, payments, refunds, or event experiences outside our control.

    8. User Submissions

    If you submit an event, brand, story, photo, link, or other content to What's Local, you confirm that you have the right to share it. You give What's Local permission to review, edit, display, publish, and promote that content in connection with our website, social media, newsletters, and marketing.

    • Submit false, misleading, infringing, harmful, abusive, or unlawful content
