Description of Website
The Website offers information about Boots and Hearts and the events it produces or is affiliated with. Boots and Hearts reserves the right, in its sole discretion, and for any reason, to modify, restrict, suspend, cancel, or discontinue any aspect of the Website, including, but not limited to, the services, content, features or availability, without notice or penalty.
Security and Safety Guidelines
Boots and Hearts uses current industry-standard technology and security procedures to maintain the confidentiality and accuracy of the information you provide to us and to prevent against its loss or misuse. However, despite our efforts, no website can be 100% secure. To help reduce the risk of unauthorized access or disclosure of information, users of the Website should understand generally the risks involved in using the Internet and take precautions when using it (e.g., refrain from sharing account passwords).

Boots and Hearts often promotes its products or services on its official third party social media platforms (e.g., Boots and Hearts’ Facebook, TikTok, Twitter/X or Instagram accounts, or an account relating to one of its events) (collectively, the “Boots and Hearts Social Media Accounts”). The Boots and Hearts Social Media Accounts are generally used as an extension of the content posted on the Website and they are also intended to be platforms through which we can engage our current and prospective fans, answer relevant questions, provide updates and promote contests and events. These Terms apply to the content on Boots and Hearts Social Media Accounts, in addition to other terms of use and privacy policies of such social media platforms (“Additional Terms of Use”), which you should review.
