Terms of Service
Last updated: August 2, 2026
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using Cheers (the "Platform"), operated by Cheers Bartenders, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the Platform.
2. Description of Service
Cheers is a marketplace that helps bartenders, event organizers, and hospitality employers discover each other, publish profiles and events, post gigs, and send booking or hiring requests. We facilitate listings and communications. We are not a party to agreements between bartenders and clients, and we do not employ bartenders listed on the Platform unless expressly stated otherwise.
3. Accounts
You must provide accurate information when creating an account and keep your credentials secure. You are responsible for activity under your account. You must verify your email address before signing in. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms or applicable law.
4. Memberships and Fees
Certain features require a paid membership (for example bartender, employer, or organizer plans). Prices, allowances, and overage fees are shown on our membership pages. Subscriptions are billed through Stripe. New subscriptions typically include a 14-day trial as shown at checkout. You can manage or cancel from the billing page via Stripe Customer Portal. Cancellation stops future renewals; access continues through the end of the paid (or trial) period unless otherwise stated. Overage charges for extra shift confirmations or published events are one-time payments processed at the time of the action. Fees for bartending services themselves remain between users; Cheers does not collect or remit those service payments unless a separate written agreement says so.
5. Acceptable Use
You agree not to use the Platform for unlawful purposes, to harass others, or to post false or misleading information. You will comply with all applicable laws, including those governing alcohol service, employment, and independent contractor relationships in your jurisdiction.
6. Bookings and Listings
Booking and hiring arrangements are between the users involved. Cheers does not guarantee availability, performance, licensing, insurance, or the outcome of any booking, event, or shift. Users are responsible for screening, contracts, and compliance with local alcohol and labor laws.
7. Intellectual Property
You retain ownership of content you submit, and grant Cheers Bartenders a worldwide, non-exclusive license to host, display, and distribute that content as needed to operate the Platform. Platform software, branding, and design remain our property.
8. Disclaimers
The Platform is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
9. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Cheers Bartenders shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising from your use of the Platform or any transactions conducted through it. Our aggregate liability for claims relating to the Platform shall not exceed the greater of (a) the amounts you paid us for memberships in the twelve months before the claim or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars.
10. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Cheers Bartenders and its operators from claims arising out of your content, your use of the Platform, or your violation of these terms or applicable law.
11. Changes
We may modify these terms by posting an updated version with a new "Last updated" date. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. Material changes to paid memberships may also be communicated by email when required.
12. Contact
Questions about these terms: use the contact options on our About page or email the address configured for platform support (see your account emails from Cheers).
