Picked, LLC — Legal & Privacy Policy

2. Platform Role

Picked, LLC operates solely as an online marketplace that connects event organizers and hosts (“Bookers”) with musicians, bands, DJs, and other performers (“Artists”).

Picked does not:

• Employ, manage, or control Artists;
• Act as an agent or representative for any User;
• Guarantee the quality, safety, legality, timing, or success of any event or service; or
• Become a party to any contract between Bookers and Artists.

All Artists using the Platform do so as independent businesses.

3. Independent Contractor Relationship

Artists acknowledge that they are independent contractors and not employees, partners, joint venturers, or agents of Picked, LLC. Artists are solely responsible for:

• Setting their own rates, schedules, and availability;
• Complying with tax, licensing, and insurance requirements;
• Delivering the services they advertise;
• Any representations made to Bookers.

Bookers acknowledge that any service agreement, performance arrangement, or booking is made directly with the Artist and not with Picked, LLC.

4. Payment Processing

Payments made through the Platform may be processed via secure, third-party payment providers (such as Stripe or PayPal). Picked may charge a platform, service, or booking fee for use of the Platform.

Picked acts only as a facilitator of payments and does not guarantee, insure, or underwrite payments, deposits, or refunds between Users. Any disputes about charges or refunds must be handled directly between the parties or with the payment provider.

5. Cancellations & Refunds

Cancellation, rescheduling, and refund policies are determined by the Artist and/or the Booker. Picked, LLC:

• Is not responsible for enforcing individual cancellation terms;
• Does not issue refunds on behalf of Users;
• May, but is not required to, assist with communication.

6. No Responsibility for User Actions

Picked, LLC is not responsible for the acts, omissions, negligence, or conduct of any Artist or Booker. This includes, without limitation:

• Performance quality or style;
• No-shows, lateness, or cancellations;
• Property damage or personal injury related to an event;
• Misrepresentations or contract breaches by Users.

All Users participate in bookings and events at their own risk.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Picked, LLC and its owners, affiliates, employees, and agents shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to lost profits, loss of data, loss of goodwill, personal injury, property damage, or event-related losses, arising out of or in connection with your use of the Platform.

In any case, Picked’s total liability shall not exceed the total amount of fees (if any) paid directly to Picked by the User for the specific transaction giving rise to the claim.

8. User Responsibilities

All Users agree to:

• Provide accurate and current information;
• Comply with all applicable laws and regulations;
• Verify the identity, qualifications, and insurance of the party they are contracting with;
• Assume all risks associated with booking or performing.

9. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Picked, LLC, its owners, affiliates, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or in any way connected with:

• Your use or misuse of the Platform;
• Your bookings, events, or performances;
• Your violation of these Terms or any applicable law;
• Your dispute with another User.

10. No Warranty

The Platform is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. Picked, LLC makes no warranties, express or implied, about the operation, availability, or reliability of the Platform, or about any Users, listings, or services found through it.

11. Dispute Resolution

Bookers and Artists agree to first try to resolve disputes informally between themselves. Picked is not obligated to mediate disputes.

If a dispute arises involving Picked, it shall be resolved by binding arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association, seated in the State of Wisconsin. Each party will bear its own costs and attorneys’ fees.

12. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Wisconsin, without regard to its conflict of law rules.

13. Modifications

Picked, LLC may modify or update these Terms and this Policy at any time. The latest version will always be posted on this page. Your continued use of the Platform after changes means you accept the updated version.

14. Privacy Policy

We collect information that you provide to us (such as name, email, profile details, booking details) and information collected automatically (such as IP address, device data, and usage data).

We use this information to:

• Operate and improve the Platform;

• Prevent fraud and protect Users.

We may share information with trusted service providers (payment processors, analytics, hosting) as needed to run the Platform. We do not sell or trade your personal information.
