Terms of Service

Last updated: September 29, 2026

1. Agreement to Terms

By using Struggling Musicians Blueprint (the “Service”), you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

2. Accounts and Workspaces

Keep your account information accurate and your sign-in secure. You are responsible for activity under your account. If you create a Tour OS workspace, you control who is invited and what role they have, and you are responsible for the data you and your members add to it.

3. Pricing

Core features are currently offered at no charge. We may add, change or remove features, introduce paid options, or set usage limits (for example on AI requests). We will not charge you for anything without telling you first.

4. Educational Content, Legal & Financial Disclaimers

Struggling Musicians Blueprint and Tour OS provide educational guides, masterclass courses, software tools, contract templates, split sheet generators, and settlement calculators for informational and organizational purposes only.

Nothing contained on this Service, including articles, AI-generated contract drafts, template rider terms, Deal Room redline tools, or Legal Vault documents, constitutes formal legal advice. Use of the Service does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and Struggling Musicians Blueprint, its owners, contributors, or technology providers. Music business law, copyright assignments, performance rights, and contractual obligations vary by jurisdiction and factual scenario. You should always consult a licensed entertainment attorney before executing binding contracts, licensing master recordings, or signing management or publishing agreements.

4.2 No Financial, Tax, Accounting, or Investment Advice

The financial calculators, door split simulators, settlement tools, budget planners, and royalty distribution models provided on the Service are interactive scaffolding tools intended strictly for estimation and organizational planning. They do not constitute certified accounting, tax, investment, or financial advice. You are solely responsible for verifying tax obligations (including 1099 reporting, state sales tax, withholding, and international performance taxes) with a certified public accountant (CPA) or tax professional.

4.3 No Outcome or Earnings Guarantees

The music industry involves substantial economic uncertainty. We make no representations, warranties, or assurances that following the Blueprint curriculum, utilizing Tour OS routing, or implementing our marketing and booking strategies will result in venue bookings, playlist placements, record label contracts, streaming revenue, or financial profit. Individual outcomes depend entirely on talent, execution, market conditions, and independent business decisions.

4.4 Contract Scaffolding & Calculator Scaffolding Limitation

All contract templates, split sheets, and settlement sheets generated through Tour OS or the Legal Vault are provided as self-declared starting points. You assume full legal responsibility for any modification, negotiation, or signature of these documents. We disclaim all liability for disputes arising from enforceability, ambiguous terms, or counterparty default.

5. Tour OS and the Deal Room

Tour OS and the Deal Room are tools to help you organize bookings and negotiate terms with venues, promoters and other parties. We are not a party to, agent for, or guarantor of any agreement you make through them. In particular:

  • Whether an agreement is enforceable depends on its terms, the parties, and the laws that apply to it. We do not guarantee that any contract or electronic signature created on the Service will be enforceable.
  • You are responsible for reviewing every term before you accept or sign, and for confirming you have authority to sign for yourself or your organization.
  • We keep a record of redlines, comments, signatures and related metadata (see the Privacy Policy) so both parties can review the negotiation history.
  • Payments, deposits, settlements and disputes are between you and the other party.

6. Your Content

You own the content you add, including profile details, music links, posts, tour data and contract terms. You give us a limited license to host, display and process that content to operate the Service, including showing public content you choose to publish. You are responsible for having the rights to what you post.

7. Community Standards & Content Moderation

Struggling Musicians Blueprint is a collaborative network built to empower independent musicians, managers, and touring crews. To maintain a safe, productive, and professional environment, all users must adhere to our Community Standards.

7.1 Prohibited Conduct & Content

You agree not to post, transmit, upload, or facilitate any content or conduct that:

  • Is unlawful, defamatory, libelous, fraudulent, obscene, pornographic, or harassing;
  • Promotes hate speech, violence, discrimination, or threats of harm against individuals or groups;
  • Infringes on the intellectual property, copyrights, trademarks, publicity, or privacy rights of any party;
  • Distributes malicious software, viruses, phishing links, scraping bots, or spam;
  • Doxes, shares, or threatens to expose the private personal information (phone numbers, physical addresses, tax IDs) of other creators, promoters, or staff without authorization;
  • Attempts to impersonate any artist, venue representative, industry professional, or platform administrator/moderator.

7.2 Moderation Team & Staff Authority

We employ authorized administrators, moderators, and designated community managers (“Staff”) to oversee community interactions, review flagged content, and protect the platform:

  • Right to Moderate: Staff have the authority, but not the obligation, to monitor, pre-screen, review, flag, edit, hide, or permanently remove any user content, comments, reviews, or tour posts at their sole discretion, with or without prior notice.
  • User Reporting: Users can flag objectionable content or abusive behavior through our built-in report and feedback tools. Reports are queued for review by our moderation team.
  • Appeals: If you believe a piece of content was removed or your account was moderated in error, you may submit an appeal to strugglinmusiciansblueprint@gmail.com. Staff decisions on appeals are final.

8. AI Features

AI-generated output may be inaccurate, incomplete or similar to output given to others. Review it before you use or rely on it.

9. Third-Party Services and Affiliate Links

The Service links to and integrates with third-party services. We are not responsible for their content or practices. Some links are affiliate links, and we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.

10. Intellectual Property

The Service and its original content (excluding user content), features and design belong to Struggling Musicians Blueprint and its licensors.

11. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damages, or for losses arising from agreements, bookings or dealings between users and third parties.

12. Account Suspension, Banning & Termination

You may terminate your account or stop using the Service at any time. We also reserve the right to suspend, restrict, or permanently ban any account or workspace under the following terms:

  • Discretionary Suspension & Banning: We reserve the right, exercised by authorized administrators or moderators, to temporarily suspend or permanently terminate your access to the Service immediately, without prior notice or liability, for conduct that violates these Terms, our Community Standards, or applicable laws, or for conduct that we determine is harmful to other users, touring crew members, venues, or the platform.
  • Banning Scope & Effect: Upon suspension or permanent banning, your right to use the Service ceases immediately. We may disable access to your account, profile, Tour OS workspaces, public artist EPK pages, and community feeds. Any content, comments, or public notices associated with a banned account may be removed, hidden, or archived.
  • Ban Circumvention Prohibited: If your account has been suspended or banned, you are expressly prohibited from creating new accounts, registering under alternative email addresses, or accessing the Service through other users’ workspaces without prior written authorization from platform administration. Attempted ban circumvention will result in immediate termination of any newly created accounts.

13. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms. We will change the “Last updated” date above and, for significant changes, give notice on the site. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated Terms.
