Terms and Conditions

Last updated: August 27, 2026

These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of https://swflcircus.com, including its inquiry forms, proposals, payment pages, client and performer portals, referral features, communications, and related online services (collectively, the “Website”). The Website is operated by Meck Events, LLC, doing business as Southwest Florida Circus Company (“Southwest Florida Circus Company,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

By accessing or using the Website, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Website.

1. Eligibility and Authority

You must be at least 18 years old to submit an inquiry, accept a proposal, enter into a booking, make a payment, or create or use an account or portal through the Website.

If you use the Website on behalf of a company, venue, organization, school, homeowners association, government agency, or another person, you represent that you have authority to act for and bind that party.

2. Website Information and Availability

We attempt to keep the Website and its information accurate and available, but entertainment availability, performers, pricing, packages, dates, travel requirements, equipment, and other details may change. Website content is provided for general information and does not guarantee availability or create a reservation, hold, or booking.

We may modify, suspend, restrict, or discontinue any part of the Website at any time. We do not guarantee that the Website will always be available, uninterrupted, secure, or error-free.

3. Inquiries, Quotes, and Proposals

Submitting an inquiry does not create a booking or obligate either party to proceed. Quotes and proposals may be based on the information you provide, including the event date, location, schedule, venue, attendance, requested services, and performance conditions. You are responsible for providing complete and accurate information.

Unless a proposal expressly states otherwise:

• A quote is an estimate or offer for the specific event details presented.
• Availability is not guaranteed until the applicable proposal or agreement is accepted and the required payment is received.
• Pricing may change if event details, location, schedule, scope, access conditions, technical requirements, staffing, insurance requirements, or requested services change.
• A proposal may expire or be withdrawn according to the deadline displayed in the proposal.

4. Event Bookings and Separate Agreements

Entertainment and event services are governed by the proposal, contract, booking agreement, invoice terms, rider, or other written agreement presented for that event (collectively, the “Event Agreement”). The Event Agreement may include terms concerning deposits, payment deadlines, cancellations, postponements, weather, safety, venue requirements, performer substitutions, access, setup, overtime, refunds, and other event-specific matters.

If these Website Terms conflict with an accepted Event Agreement, the Event Agreement controls with respect to that event. Nothing displayed generally on the Website modifies an accepted Event Agreement unless we agree to the modification in writing.

5. Electronic Transactions and Signatures

You consent to conducting transactions electronically. Clicking a button indicating acceptance, signing electronically, checking an acknowledgment box, or otherwise completing an electronic acceptance process may constitute your electronic signature and agreement to the applicable proposal, Event Agreement, payment authorization, or other terms.

You are responsible for reviewing all information before accepting or paying. You agree that electronic records and signatures may be used to the same extent as paper records and handwritten signatures, subject to applicable law.

6. Payments

Payments may be processed through third-party payment providers such as Stripe. You agree to provide accurate billing information and authorize the applicable charges shown at checkout or in the relevant invoice or Event Agreement.

Deposits, payment schedules, refund eligibility, cancellation charges, and other event-related payment conditions are governed by the applicable Event Agreement. Payment processing may also be subject to the payment provider’s terms and privacy policy.

We do not intentionally store complete payment-card numbers or card security codes on our systems.

7. Accounts, Portals, and Access Links

Certain Website features may be available through an account, private portal, or unique access link. You are responsible for safeguarding login credentials and private access links and for activity performed through them.

You must promptly notify us if you believe an account or private link has been lost, disclosed, compromised, or used without authorization. We may disable or replace access credentials or links when reasonably necessary to protect you, other users, or our systems.

You may not access another person’s records, impersonate another person, share access without authorization, circumvent access controls, or use a portal for any unlawful or unauthorized purpose.

8. Communications

By providing contact information, you authorize us to contact you as reasonably necessary to respond to your requests and administer inquiries, proposals, transactions, bookings, accounts, payments, and support. Communication may occur by email, telephone, or other methods you provide or request.

Promotional communications are subject to the consent and opt-out choices described in our Privacy Policy and the communication itself.

9. SMS Terms

Program and Message Types

If you enter your mobile phone number through our inquiry or booking form and affirmatively select the SMS consent checkbox, you agree to receive transactional and customer-care text messages from Southwest Florida Circus Company regarding your inquiry, proposal, booking, payments, and event updates.

Consent

SMS consent is optional and is not a condition of purchasing any goods or services. The SMS checkbox must be selected by you and is not intended to be preselected. We will not use operational SMS consent to send unrelated promotional messages unless you separately and expressly opt in to receive them.

Frequency and Charges

Message frequency varies depending on your inquiry and booking activity. Message and data rates may apply according to your wireless plan.

Opt-Out and Help

Reply STOP to opt out. After opting out, you may receive one final confirmation message. Reply HELP for assistance, email info@swflcircus.com, or contact us using the information at the end of these Terms.

An SMS opt-out applies to text messages sent through the applicable messaging program. It does not cancel an Event Agreement, payment obligation, or booking, and it does not prevent necessary communications through email, telephone, or another permitted method.

Delivery

Wireless carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Delivery may be affected by carrier availability, device settings, network conditions, and other circumstances outside our control.

Privacy

Our collection and use of mobile information and SMS consent are governed by our Privacy Policy. Mobile information and SMS consent will not be sold, rented, or shared with third parties or affiliates for their marketing or promotional purposes.

10. User Submissions and Uploaded Materials

You may be able to submit event details, messages, forms, files, photographs, logos, designs, insurance information, promotional materials, or other content (“Submitted Materials”). You retain ownership of your Submitted Materials.

You grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to host, copy, process, transmit, resize, and otherwise use Submitted Materials only as reasonably necessary to:

• Respond to your inquiry or provide requested Services.
• Prepare proposals and coordinate or fulfill an event.
• Operate the Website, portals, and customer support.
• Maintain business, safety, insurance, and transaction records.
• Carry out another use you separately authorize.

Submitting materials does not grant us permission to use a person’s name, likeness, photograph, video, or other content in public advertising or promotional materials unless separate media consent or another written authorization permits that use.

You represent that you have the rights and permissions necessary to provide Submitted Materials and that our authorized use of them will not violate another person’s rights or applicable law.

11. Performer and Job-Opportunity Features

Performer portals, job boards, availability requests, and similar features are informational and administrative tools. Responding as available does not guarantee an assignment, employment, engagement, minimum amount of work, or compensation.

Unless a separate written agreement expressly states otherwise, performers and vendors are independent contractors and are responsible for their own taxes, licenses, permits, insurance, equipment, conduct, and legal obligations. Any confirmed engagement and compensation are governed by the applicable written agreement or assignment terms.

12. Referral Programs, Rewards, and Special Offers

Referral programs, portal rewards, upgrades, discounts, and special offers may be governed by additional terms displayed with the applicable program or offer. Eligibility may depend on completed, qualifying bookings and other stated requirements. Unless otherwise stated, rewards have no cash value, are nontransferable, and are subject to performer and date availability.

We may modify or discontinue a referral program or special offer prospectively. Any reward already earned will be handled according to the terms in effect when it was earned, unless modification is required by law or necessary to prevent fraud or abuse.

13. Acceptable Use

You may not use the Website to:

• Violate applicable law or another person’s rights.
• Submit false, fraudulent, defamatory, threatening, obscene, discriminatory, or unlawful material.
• Impersonate another person or misrepresent your identity, authority, or affiliation.
• Introduce malware or attempt to disrupt, damage, probe, or gain unauthorized access to the Website, accounts, data, or systems.
• Scrape, harvest, or collect information through automated means without written authorization.
• Send spam or use the Website for unauthorized advertising or solicitation.
• Interfere with another person’s use of the Website.

We may restrict or terminate access when we reasonably believe these Terms, applicable law, security requirements, or another person’s rights have been violated.

14. Intellectual Property

The Website and its original text, graphics, photographs, videos, branding, logos, designs, software, databases, features, and other content are owned by or licensed to Southwest Florida Circus Company and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.

You may view and use the Website for personal or internal business purposes related to evaluating, requesting, purchasing, or managing our Services. You may not reproduce, distribute, sell, publicly display, create derivative works from, reverse engineer, or commercially exploit Website content or software without our prior written permission, except where applicable law expressly permits otherwise.

15. Copyright Complaints

If you believe material on the Website infringes your copyright, email info@swflcircus.com with:

• Identification of the copyrighted work.
• Identification and location of the allegedly infringing material.
• Your contact information.
• A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized.
• A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act for the owner.
• Your physical or electronic signature.

16. Third-Party Services and Links

The Website may use or link to services operated by third parties, including payment processors, mapping tools, analytics providers, social-media platforms, file-storage providers, and communication services. We do not control their independent websites or services, and their terms and privacy policies may apply.

A link or integration does not imply our endorsement of all third-party content, products, practices, or services. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for third-party websites or services outside our control.

17. Disclaimers

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Website is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We disclaim warranties regarding the Website’s uninterrupted availability, security, accuracy, completeness, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

Website descriptions, photographs, videos, reviews, examples, and past-event materials are illustrative and do not guarantee identical performers, appearances, audience reactions, results, weather, attendance, sales, engagement, or event outcomes. Any warranties or commitments concerning a booked service are limited to those expressly stated in the applicable Event Agreement.

Some jurisdictions do not permit certain warranty exclusions, so portions of this section may not apply to you.

18. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Meck Events, LLC, doing business as Southwest Florida Circus Company, and its owners, officers, employees, service providers, and representatives will not be liable under these Website Terms for indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, punitive, or consequential damages, including lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, business interruption, or loss of goodwill, arising from or connected with the Website.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability arising from or connected with the Website will not exceed the greater of $100 or the amount you paid directly through the Website for the specific online service giving rise to the claim during the twelve months before the event giving rise to liability.

This limitation governs Website use only. Liability concerning an entertainment booking or event service is governed by the applicable Event Agreement. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited.

19. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Meck Events, LLC, doing business as Southwest Florida Circus Company, and its owners, officers, employees, and representatives from third-party claims, damages, liabilities, and reasonable costs arising from your unlawful use of the Website, your material breach of these Terms, or Submitted Materials that infringe another person’s rights.

This obligation does not apply to the extent a claim was caused by our own negligence, willful misconduct, or violation of law.

20. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, retain, protect, and disclose personal information. By using the Website, you acknowledge that you have reviewed the Privacy Policy.

21. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Before filing a legal claim concerning the Website, you agree to make a reasonable attempt to resolve the matter informally by contacting us.

Unless applicable law requires otherwise, any legal proceeding arising from these Website Terms will be brought in a state or federal court with jurisdiction in Lee County, Florida, and the parties consent to that venue and jurisdiction.

22. Severability and Waiver

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or severed if modification is not possible. The remaining provisions will remain in effect.

Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of that provision or our right to enforce it later.

23. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms to reflect changes in the Website, our practices, technology, or legal requirements. The revised Terms will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Changes apply prospectively unless applicable law permits or requires otherwise.

Material changes affecting an existing Event Agreement will not modify that agreement unless the parties agree in writing or the Event Agreement expressly permits the change.
