Terms of Service
Welcome to RochesterMN Art. By using this site or our mobile apps, you agree to the terms below. We've kept them short and plain.
What we do
RochesterMN Art is a free, community-built directory of public art, galleries, artist-owned businesses, exhibiting venues, and art events in Rochester, Minnesota. Anyone can browse. Account holders can submit photos and recommend events for moderator review.
Accounts
- You must provide accurate information when creating an account.
- You're responsible for keeping your password secure.
- One person per account. Don't share credentials.
- We may suspend or delete accounts used for spam, harassment, or abuse.
What you can submit
You can submit photos of public art, suggest places we've missed, recommend events, and report issues with listings (e.g., damaged sculpture, incorrect information). By submitting content, you confirm:
- You own the content or have the right to share it.
- You grant us a non-exclusive license to display your submission on the site and apps, with attribution if you've provided your name.
- Your submission doesn't violate anyone's privacy, copyright, or other rights.
What you can't submit
- Content that is unlawful, hateful, defamatory, or sexually explicit.
- Photos of identifiable people without their consent.
- Spam, advertising, or off-topic content (this isn't a marketplace).
- Content that infringes copyright or other intellectual property rights.
Moderation
All user submissions go through human review before being published. We may edit for clarity, decline a submission without explanation, or remove content that violates these terms after publication.
Our content
The site, app code, design, and original editorial content are owned by the RochesterMN Art project. The names and likenesses of artworks, artists, galleries, and venues belong to their respective owners. We display them to help visitors find the work. If you're a featured artist or owner and want a listing updated or removed, email hello@rochestermnart.org.
App stores
Our mobile apps are distributed through the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Your use of the apps is also subject to those platforms' terms.
Third-party services & links
We use third-party services for hosting, DNS, fonts, and event discovery (listed in our Privacy Policy). We may link to external sites — galleries, artist portfolios, event pages. We don't control those sites and are not responsible for their content.
Disclaimer
The site and apps are provided as-is. We do our best to keep listings accurate, but we can't guarantee that every gallery is open when we say it is or every event happens as scheduled. Verify important details directly with the venue before you go.
Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by law, RochesterMN Art and its volunteers are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the site or apps.
Changes
We may update these terms occasionally. Material changes will be noted on the homepage for at least 30 days before taking effect. The "Last updated" date above reflects the current version.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota, USA.
