Terms of Service


Last updated: August 5, 2026

Please read these Terms of Service (“Terms”) before using https://www.salsavida.com and related Salsa Vida pages, directories, editorial content, submission forms, and newsletter forms (the “Service”). The Service is operated by Salsa Vida (“Salsa Vida”, “we”, “us”, or “our”).

By accessing or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

Salsa Vida Is A Directory And Media Resource

Salsa Vida provides salsa and Latin dance event listings, city and country guides, instructor and artist profiles, team, DJ, and band listings, editorial articles, Dancepedia content, news, and related resources. Salsa Vida is not the organizer, venue, promoter, ticket seller, travel provider, payment processor, or employer for the events, classes, festivals, instructors, teams, DJs, bands, or third-party services listed on the Service unless we expressly say otherwise.

Event And Listing Accuracy

We try to keep Salsa Vida useful and accurate, but event details can change quickly. Dates, times, prices, venues, age limits, lineups, ticket availability, cancellation status, organizer details, contact information, and accessibility details may be incomplete, outdated, incorrect, or changed by third parties without notice. You are responsible for verifying important information directly with the organizer, venue, instructor, promoter, or ticket vendor before attending, traveling, purchasing, or relying on a listing.

User Submissions

If you submit an event, instructor profile, team, DJ, band, photo, biography, organizer detail, website, ticket link, social media link, email address, phone number, correction, or other material, you represent that you have the rights and permissions needed to submit it and to allow Salsa Vida to use it.

You grant Salsa Vida a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to review, store, edit, format, excerpt, translate, publish, display, distribute, promote, and create related content from your submission in connection with the Service. This includes publishing submitted contact details or photos when they are intended for a public listing.

We may accept, reject, edit, remove, archive, translate, or decline to publish submissions at our discretion. Submitting information does not guarantee publication, ranking, placement, traffic, leads, or continued display.

AI-Assisted Tools

Salsa Vida may provide AI-assisted tools to help pre-fill, summarize, rewrite, translate, or normalize event submissions. These tools are provided for convenience only. AI output may be incomplete or incorrect, and you are responsible for reviewing all fields before submitting. We may edit or reject AI-assisted submissions like any other submission.

Advertising, Sponsored Links, And Affiliate Links

Salsa Vida may display ads, sponsored placements, affiliate links, or promotional links. We may earn commissions, referral fees, advertising revenue, or other benefits when users view, click, purchase, register, or interact with certain links or ads. Advertising or affiliate relationships do not mean that Salsa Vida endorses every third-party product, event, vendor, or claim.

Salsa Vida works with Mediavine to manage programmatic advertising. Advertising may be personalized or non-personalized, and interactions with ads may be subject to the applicable advertiser’s or technology provider’s terms and privacy practices. See our Privacy Policy for details about advertising data and choices.

Tickets, Payments, Refunds, And Third-Party Vendors

Ticket purchases, registrations, classes, travel, subscriptions, merchandise, and other transactions are handled by third-party vendors unless Salsa Vida expressly states otherwise. Their terms, privacy policies, fees, refund rules, cancellation policies, payment processing, customer support, and dispute processes apply. Salsa Vida is not responsible for third-party payments, refunds, cancellations, chargebacks, delivery, access issues, event changes, or vendor conduct.

Third-Party Links And Content

The Service may link to or display content from third-party websites, social networks, ticketing platforms, organizers, venues, instructors, sponsors, advertisers, or other resources. We do not control and are not responsible for third-party content, availability, security, privacy practices, terms, accuracy, or actions. Use third-party sites at your own risk.

Acceptable Use

You agree not to misuse the Service. You may not submit false, misleading, infringing, defamatory, illegal, abusive, hateful, spammy, malicious, or unauthorized content; interfere with site security or operation; scrape or copy the Service at scale without permission; attempt to access non-public systems; or use the Service in a way that violates law or the rights of others.

The Service, including Salsa Vida’s original text, design, organization, logos, trademarks, features, code, and functionality, is owned by Salsa Vida or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. You may not copy, reproduce, redistribute, sell, or exploit the Service except as allowed by law or with our permission.

Corrections, Takedowns, And Rights Requests

Disclaimer

Limitation Of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Salsa Vida and its owners, operators, contributors, partners, and service providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data, lost opportunities, travel costs, ticket costs, event cancellations, third-party conduct, or reliance on listing information.

Indemnity

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Salsa Vida from claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses arising from your use of the Service, your submissions, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right.

Termination

We may suspend, restrict, or terminate access to the Service, remove submissions, or block abusive activity at any time, with or without notice, if we believe it is appropriate to protect Salsa Vida, users, third parties, or the public.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States, without regard to conflict of law rules. If a court finds any part of these Terms unenforceable, the remaining parts will remain in effect.
