Clubs and Events:

When you make a join/request to part of clubs or an activity, the admin will review your request along with other requests and decide which users will be allowed to join/attend. However, the admin has full discretion to choose the users and can limit the overall number of users for any given club or event. We cannot guarantee that you will be selected to participate in any activity.

We or the admin may require additional verifications or information from you before selecting you to join a club or attend an event. If the information provided by you is incomplete or inaccurate, you may not be able to join a club or attend an event

Conduct in Clubs and Events:

When attending or hosting a club or an event, you must act with respect towards other users and should not engage in any unlawful or fraudulent activities or harm any user, animal, or any other person. You must not bully, insult, intimidate, or humiliate any user or person. If we have a reason to limit, change, or cancel an activity, we may do so at our sole discretion. We will try to notify you in advance if possible, but we reserve the right to provide a written explanation if we cannot notify you in advance.

Free and Paid Events:

Admins may host a free Event. Free Clubs and Events do not require any payment, or financial contribution to participate. For paid Events and Clubs, admins can sell registrations through the Third party websites. If a admin needs to change or cancel a confirmed event, they must do so with timely notice to the participant, except for weather, safety, or force majeure reasons.
