Terms of Service
Effective June 23, 2026.
These Terms govern your use of recognizingthebay.com, operated by Recognizing The Bay ("RTB," "we," "us"). By using the site you agree to them. Questions: [email protected].
What RTB is
RTB is a free guide to events and culture across Tampa Bay. We curate and fact-check what we list, but we provide everything on an "as is" basis for your general information.
Event and listing information
Event dates, times, prices, locations, and other details change often and are set by third parties, not by us. We check listings before we publish them, but we cannot guarantee they are current or error-free. Always confirm details with the venue or organizer before you rely on them. We are not responsible for changes, cancellations, sold-out events, or mistakes in third-party information.
Links to other sites
We link to websites we do not control (venues, ticketing, organizers, businesses). We are not responsible for their content, accuracy, or practices, and a link is not an endorsement.
Affiliate and advertising disclosure
Some links on RTB may be affiliate or referral links, and we may feature clearly labeled paid placements. If you click an affiliate link and make a purchase or booking, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. This never decides our editorial picks: we recommend things on their merit, and payment cannot buy a recommendation. See our Disclosure.
Reader submissions
When you submit a tip or other content, you confirm it is accurate to the best of your knowledge and that you have the right to share it, and you grant RTB a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, edit, and publish it. We are not obligated to use any submission and may decline or remove anything at our discretion. Do not submit content that is unlawful, infringing, or not yours to share.
Our content
The RTB name, brand, and original content are ours or used with permission. You are welcome to read, share, and link to it; please do not republish it wholesale or for commercial use without our permission.
Acceptable use
Do not misuse the site: no automated scraping or bulk harvesting, no attempts to break security, and no unlawful use.
No warranty and limitation of liability
The site is provided "as is," without warranties of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, RTB is not liable for any damages arising from your use of, or reliance on, the site or its information.
Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules.
Changes
We may update these Terms; continued use after a change means you accept the updated Terms.
