A Legal Disclaimer

The explanations and information provided on this page are only general and high-level explanations and information on how to write your own document of Terms & Conditions. You should not rely on this article as legal advice or as recommendations regarding what you should actually do, because we cannot know in advance what are the specific terms you wish to establish between your business and your customers and visitors. We recommend that you seek legal advice to help you understand and to assist you in the creation of your own Terms & Conditions.

Terms & Conditions - The Basics

Having said that, Terms and Conditions (“T&C”) are a set of legally binding terms defined by you, as the owner of this website. The T&C set forth the legal boundaries governing the activities of the website visitors, or your customers, while they visit or engage with this website. The T&C are meant to establish the legal relationship between the site visitors and you as the website owner.

T&C should be defined according to the specific needs and nature of each website. For example, a website offering products to customers in e-commerce transactions requires T&C that are different from the T&C of a website only providing information (like a blog, a landing page, and so on).

T&C provide you as the website owner the ability to protect yourself from potential legal exposure, but this may differ from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, so make sure to receive local legal advice if you are trying to protect yourself from legal exposure.

What to Include in the T&C Document

Generally speaking, T&C often address these types of issues: Who is allowed to use the website; the possible payment methods; a declaration that the website owner may change his or her offering in the future; the types of warranties the website owner gives his or her customers; a reference to issues of intellectual property or copyrights, where relevant; the website owner’s right to suspend or cancel a member’s account; and much, much more.

Against Adversity
Wbrew przeciwnościom

Conflict and adversity forms the inspiration behind the programme running in collaboration between Hard Rain and Hashtag throughout 2025.

Presenting four distinct performances, it combines musicians from two ground-breaking ensembles both formed in 2013, and based in Belfast and Warsaw. Together they explore challenging concepts by featuring the most cutting-edge composers from the respective countries.

Songs of Travel
This programme aims to raise awareness of climate change and foster empathy for migration through music. The interactive graphic novel paints a vivid picture of the topic of migration through the personal stories of five individuals as they fled their troubled homelands of Syria, Vietnam, Italy,
Turkey and Ukraine in search of new beginnings.

Pierrette
This Northern Irish/Polish programme for International Women’s Day features some of the most original voices in contemporary music. With challenging, provocative, and political subjects, Hard Rain and Hashtag merge together to explore and execute compelling works by composers with whom they independently enjoy close collaborations.

AżTak Festival
Hard Rain and Hashtag ensembles join forces at the AżTak Festival. Highlighting the festival’s theme for 2025 of Contemplation, they perform works by Greg Caffrey, Amy Rooney and Ryan Molloy, all of whom bring a distinctly reflective and personal process to their music.

Peaceline Perspectives: Voices from a Divided City in association with Warsaw Autumn
Peaceline Perspectives features highly evocative pieces by Northern Irish composers from the last decade. The music is interwoven with voices and soundscapes inspired by Belfast’s Peaceline which separates the nationalist and loyalist communities.
