Terms of Service

Last updated: 29 June 2026

1. About these terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of FestWave at festwave.app, operated by Joel Perrenoud, Alte Forchstrasse 16, 8126 Zumikon, Switzerland ("FestWave", "we", "us"). By using the site or buying access, you agree to these Terms.

2. What FestWave does

FestWave is a personalised festival-planning tool. You provide your own music taste — by uploading a library you have exported yourself (for example via Exportify) or by selecting artists — and FestWave matches it, in your browser, against a festival's published line-up to show you which acts you may like and when and where they play. You can also view a festival's schedule without providing any taste data.

3. Independence — no affiliation

FestWave is an independent tool. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or an official tool of any music festival, venue, artist, record label, or of Spotify or any other streaming service. Festival names, artist names, and logos are the property of their respective owners and are used only descriptively to identify publicly known events and performers. We present line-up and schedule information as factual event data.

4. Access (no accounts)

FestWave does not require you to create an account. Access to content you have unlocked is remembered in your browser. A monthly subscription is associated with the email address you provide at checkout so we can recognise your active subscription.

5. Purchases, pricing and delivery

6. Accuracy of festival data — important

Line-ups, set times, and stage information are compiled from public and community sources and from official festival material. They are provisional and may change, sometimes at short notice. We make reasonable efforts to verify the data but do not guarantee its accuracy or completeness. Always confirm set times in the festival's own official app or programme. We are not liable for any act you miss or any reliance on schedule data.

7. Acceptable use

You may use FestWave for your own personal, non-commercial planning. You must not: copy, scrape, resell, or redistribute our festival data or content; attempt to bypass payment or access controls; or reverse-engineer, disrupt, or misuse the service.

8. Intellectual property

The FestWave name, site, software, design, and the compilation and curation of our festival data are our property or licensed to us, and are protected by law. Third-party names and marks remain the property of their owners (see section 3).

9. Disclaimers and limitation of liability

The service is provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent permitted by Swiss law, we exclude implied warranties and are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for loss arising from inaccurate schedule data or service interruptions. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be excluded under Swiss law (including for unlawful intent or gross negligence).

10. Subscriptions and cancellation

You may cancel your monthly subscription at any time; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period, and you keep access until then. See our Refund Policy for how payments are handled.

11. Refunds

Purchases are subject to our Refund Policy, which forms part of these Terms.

12. Changes

We may update the service and these Terms. Material changes will be posted on this page with a new "last updated" date. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated Terms.

13. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by Swiss law, excluding its conflict-of-law rules and the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). The exclusive place of jurisdiction is Zürich, Switzerland, subject to any mandatory consumer-protection provisions in your favour.

FAQ

How does FestWave know my music taste?

You export your own Spotify Liked Songs with the free Exportify tool and upload the CSV — or just pick your favourite artists by hand. The file is read in your browser; your music data never reaches our servers.

What does FestWave cost?

Nothing right now — every 2026 festival is completely free, including the full personalised, editable grid. Just pick a festival and add your taste. Festivals in later years may become paid.

Why is there no “Log in with Spotify”?

Spotify's API programme is closed to new independent apps, so FestWave doesn't connect to your account at all. Exporting the file yourself is your right as a user — and it means we never see or store your listening data.

What do the colours in the grid mean?

Green (★ Liked) — the artist is in your library. Amber (◆ Taste) — the act fits the genres you listen to most. Everything else just plays. You can click any set to re-tier it yourself.

Are the set times official?

Set times are curated from public sources and verified by hand, but they are provisional — festivals shuffle schedules late. Always confirm in the festival's official app. FestWave is an independent tool, not affiliated with any festival, artist, or Spotify.

Do I need an account?

No — FestWave works completely without one, and that way we store nothing about you (your taste and saved festivals live in your browser). But a free account — just your email, no password — keeps them in the cloud, restores them on any device, and can email you about lineup changes or new festivals matching your taste.

What if I clear my browser or lose my device?

With an account, just sign in anywhere and press “Sync” — your taste and saved festivals come back. Without one, they live only in this browser. Questions? Contact support@festwave.app.
