Terms of Use

What Troubadour is

Troubadour is meant to help artists, acts, agents, and venues build working relationships across the globe. The platform includes public discovery, claimable profiles, agent-managed unclaimed profiles, bookings, contracts, invoices, field notes, messages, threads, and moderation/admin review tools.

This page is a draft policy. It is meant to explain how the product is intended to work in plain English while legal review is still pending.

Who can use the platform

People may use Troubadour to represent themselves, their venue, or an act they manage. Some parts of the platform may also allow a trusted agent to create an unclaimed profile for an artist, act, or venue before that person or business joins directly.

If you use Troubadour, you are expected to provide truthful profile, booking, and contact information for the role you are claiming or managing.

• Artists should only claim or control profiles they are genuinely connected to.
• Acts remain claimable working entities and may be managed by artists or agents depending on the product flow.
• Agents should only create or manage roster entities they are authorized to manage.
• Venues should only present rooms, calendars, and booking practices they can actually stand behind.

Protected relationships and managed profiles

Troubadour is built around the idea that some relationships are open and some are protected. If a profile is marked as agent-managed or agent-only, the platform may route contact and booking activity through the managing agent rather than allowing direct bypasses.

Claimable profiles and agent-managed unclaimed profiles are meant to preserve real working history without pretending that every profile already belongs to a signed-up user.

Bookings, contracts, invoices, and workflow tools

Troubadour may help people organize bookings, contracts, invoices, field notes, and messages or threads. These tools are meant to support professional coordination, but users remain responsible for the accuracy of the terms, files, and business decisions they enter.

The draft tools on the platform are not a promise that every booking, contract, or invoice flow is legally complete in every location. Users should still apply their own judgment and professional advice where needed.

Trust tiers and moderation

Some actions may depend on trust tiers, moderation history, profile completeness, or admin review. Troubadour may limit messaging, profile creation, visibility, or workflow access when the platform needs to protect users, protected relationships, or the integrity of the network.

Moderation/admin review may affect reports, claims, profile access, messages, threads, field notes, or other workflow surfaces if safety or authenticity concerns arise.

Placeholders and legal details

Troubadour is still preparing its formal legal details. Until legal review is complete, references to the operator of the service should be read as placeholders such as [LEGAL ENTITY NAME], [COMPANY ADDRESS], and [CONTACT EMAIL].
