  • All listings are reviewed, and the admin may reject any listing.
  • We may reject, delist or remove any listing that breaks these rules, without notice.
  • Breaking these rules may also lead to action under applicable law, including legal action.

3Our role

  • What's On Bengaluru only helps people discover events. We don't organise, host, sponsor, manage or check them.
  • Listing an event doesn't mean we recommend or guarantee it.
  • We don't guarantee that any event is genuine, safe, accurate or will go ahead.
  • No guarantee of audience: What's On Bengaluru is only a platform to list and discover events. We do not promise or guarantee any number of visitors, views, enquiries, ticket sales or footfall for any listing. How many people see or attend an event depends entirely on visitors' own interest and choices.
  • The organiser is solely responsible for the event, including tickets, ticket sales, ticket payments, ticket refunds, money matters, venue changes, cancellations and postponements.
  • What's On Bengaluru does not interfere or get involved in any of these. We are only a platform to post and discover events.

4Tickets, payments and refunds

  • If a listing fee applies, it is charged only after approval and is non-refundable once paid.
  • Suggesting a place is free: there is no fee and no payment. Place suggestions appear on the site only after the admin approves them.
  • Submitting a listing is free and waits for the admin to review it. A listing that is not approved is never charged.
  • After listing, the event date and time cannot be changed. If your event is cancelled or postponed, you can mark it as Cancelled or Postponed on My listings and give the reason (and the new date if postponed). This only updates the information for visitors and does not make you eligible for any refund.
  • We don't sell, book or reserve tickets, and we don't collect ticket or registration money.
  • Tickets, ticket payments and ticket refunds are directly between visitors and the organiser.
  • Cancellations, postponements, venue changes, ticket payment disputes and ticket refunds are the organiser's responsibility. We do not interfere or get involved.
  • Always check the organiser's ticket refund policy before you buy a ticket.

5Changes and cancellations

  • Organisers must tell attendees about any change of date, time or venue, or a cancellation.
  • Venue changes, cancellations and postponements are decided and handled only by the organiser. What's On Bengaluru does not interfere or get involved.
  • We're not responsible for any loss or inconvenience caused by wrong details, changes or cancellations.

6Safety

  • Visitors attend events at their own risk.
  • Organisers must get all the permissions they need and follow safety rules.
  • We don't control venues, security, crowds or how events are run.
  • We're not responsible for anything that happens at an event or venue, including injury, loss, theft or misbehaviour.
  • Complaints about an event should go to its organiser.

7If you post an event

  • You must have the right to advertise it.
  • You must be authorised to publish the event and accept full responsibility for organising it, attendee safety, ticket payments, cancellations and ticket refunds.
  • You're responsible for making sure it is legal and accurate.
  • Only upload photos, logos or posters you own or have permission to use.
  • You handle attendee questions, complaints, ticket sales, ticket payments and ticket refunds.

8How we check listings

  • Every listing is reviewed by the admin before it goes live: nothing goes live before it's approved. Listings are reviewed and approved within 12 hours of submission (listings accepted 6 AM – 9 PM), often sooner. It goes live the moment it is approved.
  • We may reject any listing during review. Rejected listings are never charged, because the fee is paid only after approval.
  • After a listing is published, we may edit, hide or remove it if it breaks these rules, with no refund of the listing fee.
  • We may suspend or permanently block anyone who misuses the site.
  • Any illegal, unlawful or anti-social activity will be reported to the police or other authorities and dealt with under the law.

9Privacy

  • Don't post anyone else's contact details, photos or personal information without their permission.
  • Organisers must not misuse visitors' information or collect personal data unlawfully.
  • We keep only your name, mobile number, email and payment ID, and use them only to run the site.
  • We ask organisers for their name, mobile number and email so we know who posted each event. These are never shown publicly or shared outside What's On Bengaluru.
  • If you report a listing, any email or phone you choose to give is used only to follow up.
  • We count anonymous visits on our own server to improve the site (no cookies, no personal data, no IP addresses stored, nothing shared with others).

10Limits of our responsibility

  • As far as the law allows, we're not liable for any losses, injuries, damage, disputes, cancellations or payments connected to events listed by others.
  • We don't act as an agent or representative of any organiser.
  • Attend at your own risk. We only list events—we do not organise or manage them. Organisers are responsible for running their events.

11Covering us for your listing

  • If someone makes a claim against us because of your unlawful event, misleading listing or breaking these rules, you agree to cover the costs, including reasonable legal fees, as far as the law allows.

12Reporting a problem

  • Use the 'Report this event' button on any event page to report anything suspicious, fake or inappropriate. You can report anonymously.
  • For anything else, contact the site admin.
