The terms on which you may use Prog Rock Atlas.

Last updated: 20 June 2026.

Welcome to Prog Rock Atlas (prog-atlas.com, "the site"). By accessing or using the site, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

About this site

Prog Rock Atlas is an independent, non-commercial website created by a fan of progressive rock. It exists for information and enjoyment: to document bands, albums and scenes, and to recommend further reading. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or an official source for any band, label or organisation mentioned.

Permitted use

You may browse and enjoy the site for your own personal, non-commercial use. You may share links to our pages freely. You may not, without our written permission, copy, republish, scrape, resell or otherwise exploit substantial parts of the site’s content, or use it in any way that is unlawful or that could damage, disable or impair the site.

Our content

Unless stated otherwise, the original content on this site — including the written articles, the site design, our original artwork, and the Beyond the Sound books and their covers — is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by copyright and other rights. Please don’t reproduce it without asking.

Names, trademarks and referenced works

Band names, album titles, song titles, logos and trademarks belong to their respective owners and are used here only for identification and editorial purposes, as part of writing about the music. Their use does not imply any endorsement or affiliation. We do not host or reproduce copyrighted recordings, lyrics or album artwork; where we point to such material, we link to official or licensed sources.

Links to other websites

The site contains links to third-party websites, including streaming platforms, retailers and reference sites. We provide these for convenience and have no control over their content, policies or availability. Visiting them is at your own risk, and their own terms and privacy policies apply.

Affiliate links

Some outbound links — in particular to books and products on Amazon — are affiliate links, which means we may earn a small commission on qualifying purchases at no extra cost to you. This never changes what we recommend or what you pay. Full details are in our Affiliate Disclosure.

Accuracy and "as is" content

We research carefully and aim to be accurate, but this is an enthusiast project and the site is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind. We do not guarantee that the content is complete, current or error-free, and nothing here is professional, legal or financial advice. If you spot a mistake, we’d be glad to hear from you.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of, or inability to use, the site or any third-party site linked from it. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.

Comments and submissions

If the site allows comments or messages, you are responsible for what you submit: it must be lawful, respectful and your own to share. We may remove any content at our discretion, and we are not responsible for opinions expressed by visitors.

Changes

We may update the site or these Terms at any time. Changes take effect when posted, and we will revise the "last updated" date above. Your continued use of the site means you accept the current Terms.

Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Italy, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute relating to the site or these Terms will be subject to the competent courts of Italy, unless mandatory local law provides otherwise.
