Big Tim's Entertainer's Directory: Terms of Use
Last updated: 11/08/2026
These terms apply to everyone who uses the Entertainer's Directory at bigtimsmagic.com: performers who list ("Performers") and people who search or contact them ("Visitors"). Big Tim Ventures LLC, doing business as Big Tim's Magic Emporium ("we," "us"), operates the Directory. By submitting a listing or using the Directory, you agree to these terms and to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy . If these terms conflict with the Terms of Service on a Directory matter, these terms control.
PART A: TERMS FOR EVERYONE
1. What the Directory Is (and Is Not)
1.1 The Directory is a free online listing service. It helps Visitors find Performers and contact them directly.
1.2 We are not a talent agency, booking agent, employer, or party to any agreement between a Performer and a Visitor. We take no commission and no booking fee.
1.3 We do not screen, vet, audition, license-check, insure, or endorse Performers. A listing, a "Featured Entertainer" badge, or a spot on the Entertainers page is not a recommendation or a guarantee of quality, safety, or availability.
2. Eligibility
2.1 You must be at least 18 years old to create a listing or contact a Performer. [A Performer under 18 may only be listed with a parent or guardian submitting on their behalf.]
2.2 If you list on behalf of a business, band, or troupe, you confirm you have authority to do so.
3. Dealings Between Performers and Visitors
3.1 Any agreement, price, deposit, contract, cancellation, or payment is solely between the Performer and the Visitor. We do not process payments for bookings.
3.2 Visitors are responsible for checking a Performer's references, insurance, licenses, and background, especially for events involving children, alcohol, fire, animals, or special equipment.
3.3 Performers are responsible for their own licenses, permits, taxes, insurance, and safety, and for complying with the law at every event. This includes laws on fire performance, working with minors, and local business licensing.
3.4 To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for a Performer's conduct, no-shows, quality, safety, or injuries, or for a Visitor's non-payment or conduct. Any claim is between the Performer and the Visitor.
4. Safety and Conduct
You agree not to: post false or misleading information; impersonate another person or act; harass anyone; use the Directory to send spam or to scrape contact details; collect personal data for any purpose other than arranging an engagement; or post anything unlawful, defamatory, hateful, sexually explicit, or that infringes someone else's rights. We may remove any listing or block any user at our discretion.
5. Reporting Illegal or Infringing Content
5.1 To report a listing you believe is illegal, infringing, or harmful, email [INSERT DIRECTORY LEGAL EMAIL] with: the page URL, a description of the problem, why you believe it is unlawful or infringing, and your name and email. We aim to review reports promptly and to tell the reporter and the Performer what we decide.
5.2 Copyright (US). We respond to notices under 17 U.S.C. §512. Send notices to our designated agent: Tim Doyon, bigtim@bigtimsmagic.com. We may remove content on notice and end the accounts of repeat infringers.
5.3 Appeals. A Performer whose listing we remove can email support@bigtimsmagic.com within [14] days to ask us to reconsider. We will give a short reason for any removal.
6. Disclaimers and Limits of Liability
6.1 The Directory and everything in it are provided "as is" and "as available." We do not guarantee that listings are accurate, complete, current, or that the Directory will be uninterrupted or error-free.
6.2 To the fullest extent permitted by law, Big Tim Ventures LLC is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, or for lost profits or lost bookings, arising from use of the Directory. Our total liability to you for any claim relating to the Directory will not exceed U.S. $100.00..
6.3 Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law (including mandatory consumer protection law in the EU/UK).
6.4 Performers' indemnity. You will defend and compensate us for third-party claims arising from your listing content, your performances, or your breach of these terms. This does not apply to Visitors who are consumers in the EU/UK.
Plain English: Your maximum exposure is capped, and a Performer who causes a problem has to cover it. 6.3 is required in the EU and is also good practice in the US. A cap without 6.3 can be struck down for EU consumers.
PART B: TERMS FOR PERFORMERS
7. Your Listing
7.1 You promise that everything in your listing is true and that you have the right to post it.
7.2 Your listing may include: name, act type, location, contact email and phone, price range, availability, description, photos, and video links. This information will be public, including your contact details, so Visitors can reach you.
7.3 We review listings before they go live. We may decline, edit for formatting or length, or remove any listing for any reason, without liability.
7.4 Listings are free. We may add optional paid features later. If we do, we will tell you first, and your free listing will stay free unless we give you at least [30] days' notice.
8. License to Your Content
8.1 You keep ownership of your photos, videos, text, names, and logos ("Your Content").
8.2 You give Big Tim Ventures LLC a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, display, reproduce, resize, and promote Your Content on bigtimsmagic.com and in our social media, newsletter, and advertising for the purpose of promoting the Directory and your listing.
8.3 You can end the license at any time by deleting your listing or emailing support@bigtimsmagic.com. We will remove it from the site within [14] days. We may not be able to recall posts already published on third-party platforms or copies sent in emails, but we will stop reusing it.
8.4 You promise that you own Your Content or have permission to use it, that it doesn't infringe anyone's copyright, trademark, privacy, or publicity rights, and that every identifiable person in your photos and videos has agreed to appear (a parent or guardian for any minor). Don't upload other people's photos, copyrighted music, or footage.
9. Privacy
9.1 We publish the contact details you give us. Only list a phone number and email you are willing to make public.
9.2 We act as the "controller" of the personal data in your listing. See our Privacy Policy for how it is used, how long we keep it, and your rights (including access, correction, and deletion; in the EU/UK, GDPR Arts. 15-21).
9.3 Visitors who contact you receive your contact details and may use them only to arrange an engagement with you. You are responsible for how you handle any personal data you receive from Visitors.
10. Ending a Listing
You can delete your listing at any time. We can remove it for breach of these terms, inaccuracy, inactivity longer than [12] months, or at our discretion. Sections 3.4, 6, 8.4, and 11-13 survive termination.
