Terms of Use
Last updated:
By using What’s On Durham (WOD) at whatsondurham.com you agree to these terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the site. WOD is an independent project run by Chris in Durham, NC.
The guide is information, not a promise
Events, hours, prices, and offers change, and we rely on venues, organizers, and community tips. We try to keep listings accurate but can’t guarantee it. Confirm details with the venue or organizer before you go. Report mistakes on our Corrections page. Links to other sites are provided for convenience; we don’t control them.
Community submissions (UGC)
- You may submit events, places, edits, and stories through our forms. Anyone can tip us off; a submission is not a claim that you run the event or business.
- Only submit what you have the right to share, and don’t include anyone’s private information.
- Don’t submit anything unlawful, misleading, hateful, harassing, or spam, and don’t try to bypass our bot checks or rate limits.
- We review submissions and may edit, decline, or remove them at any time, without notice.
- By submitting content you grant WOD a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to publish, display, edit for format and clarity, and promote it on the site and our channels. You keep your ownership. You confirm you have the rights to grant this license, including for any photos you send.
Images and our content
Photos on WOD are published with credit, and some come from photographers, venues, or stock providers with their own limits. Don’t copy, scrape, or republish WOD images or text at scale, or use them to train AI systems, without permission. For what you can and can’t do, see Image use and licensing, or email [email protected]. If you believe content on WOD infringes your rights, email us with the page link and what you’d like changed.
Durham Passport
- Passport is optional and has no account. Your stamps and progress live in your browser and can be lost if you clear your data or switch devices, unless you saved a recovery key.
- Check in only when you’re actually at the location, and use it once per visit as the rules shown for each place describe. Don’t spoof location or automate check-ins.
- Partner offers are set by the partners and may change, expire, or end at any time. They have no cash value. We may remove stamps or offers that were obtained by abuse.
- Passport has its own page: Passport Terms.
Chat assistant
The assistant uses AI and WOD listings to suggest things to do. It can be wrong or out of date. Treat it as a starting point and confirm important details.
Disclaimers and liability
WOD is provided “as is” and “as available.” To the extent allowed by law, WOD and its operator aren’t liable for losses arising from your use of the site or reliance on listings, including changes, cancellations, or third-party offers and venues.
Changes and contact
We may update these terms; the “Last updated” date above shows the latest version. Questions: contact us. See also the Privacy Policy and Paid Relationship Disclosure.
