Terms of service

1. Using LA This Weekend

By using lathisweekend.com, you agree to these terms and to our privacy policy. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.

You must be at least 13 to create an account. If you're under 18, you need a parent's or guardian's permission. Give accurate details when you sign up, keep your password private, and let us know if you think someone else has used your account. You're responsible for what happens under your account.

2. Our content

Our news stories, weekend guides and other articles are for general information. We work to get things right, but events, hours, prices and plans change, so check with the organizer or business before you go.

Our articles, photos, logo and design belong to LA This Weekend or to the people who licensed them to us. You're welcome to read, link to and share our stories. Please don't copy or republish whole articles without our permission.

3. What you post

You keep ownership of the comments, posts, listings and photos you add. By posting, you give LA This Weekend permission to host, show, copy, format and share that content on the site, in our newsletter and on our social channels, free of charge. You confirm that you have the right to post it.

4. Community rules

Keep the site useful and welcoming. Don't post anything that:

• Harasses, threatens or attacks people, including hate speech.
• Is illegal, or promotes illegal activity.
• Is spam, a scam, or advertising outside the places we offer for it.
• Shares someone else's private information without their permission.
• Pretends to be someone else.
• Is sexually explicit, or involves minors in any harmful way.
• Copies someone else's work without permission.
• Discriminates in housing or job posts, including anything that breaks fair housing or employment laws.

We can remove any content, and limit or close any account, that breaks these rules or harms the community, at our discretion.

5. Directory listings

You may only add or claim a listing for a business or group you own or are allowed to represent, and the details must be accurate. New listings carry a one-time fee shown before checkout, currently $50, paid through Stripe. A listing goes live once payment goes through. Claiming an existing listing is free, and we may check that you represent the business first.

We may edit listings for format and clarity, and remove listings that are inaccurate or break these terms. A listing isn't an endorsement by LA This Weekend. If you think you were charged by mistake, contact us.

6. Donations

Donations are voluntary, one-time payments processed by Stripe that help our volunteers keep the site running. Unless we say otherwise, LA This Weekend isn't a registered charity, so donations aren't tax-deductible.

7. Advertising

Ads on the site are labeled. Ads, sponsorships and partnerships are arranged separately with each advertiser. We don't endorse advertisers or what they sell, and we're not responsible for their offers.

8. Other websites

The site links to other websites, including advertisers, directory businesses and our sources. We don't control those sites and aren't responsible for their content or practices.

9. Disclaimers

LA This Weekend is provided "as is" and "as available." To the extent the law allows, we make no promises that the site will always be available, error-free or accurate, and we disclaim all warranties, including fitness for a particular purpose.

10. Limits on our liability

To the extent the law allows, LA This Weekend and its volunteers aren't liable for indirect, incidental or consequential losses from your use of the site. Our total liability to you for any claim is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim or $50.

If your use of the site, or content you post, leads to a claim against us, you agree to cover our reasonable costs from that claim, to the extent the law allows.

11. Copyright complaints

If you believe something on the site copies your work without permission, contact us with a link to the content, a description of your work and how to reach you. We'll review it and remove material that infringes.

12. Ending your use

You can stop using the site at any time and ask us to delete your account. We may suspend or close accounts that break these terms.

13. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California. Any dispute will be handled in the state or federal courts in Los Angeles County, California.

14. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as the site grows. When we do, we'll change the date at the top, and we'll post a notice on the site for important changes. Using the site after an update means you accept the new terms.
