TERMS & CONDITIONS

Welcome to Communities

Communities is a platform that facilitates real-world connections through local community building. We're here to create a space where meaningful, authentic connections happen effortlessly.

By signing up and participating, you agree to the following terms and commit to being part of something real and human.

Who Can Join

Communities is open to individuals who:

• Provide accurate information when signing up
• Respect the community and engage with good intentions
• Are committed to fostering real, meaningful connections

We reserve the right to deny or remove access to anyone who violates these terms or disrupts the community experience.

How Communities Works

Our platform is designed to connect you with local communities and like-minded individuals in your area:

Communities is not a dating app or a business networking service. We provide opportunities for real human connection, and what happens next is up to you.

Community Guidelines

Communities is built on trust and respect. By participating, you agree to:

• Be Present: Engage with an open mind and a willingness to connect authentically
• Respect Others: Treat everyone with kindness, consideration, and dignity
• Prioritise Safety: Harassment, discrimination, or inappropriate behaviour will not be tolerated
• Foster Community: Contribute positively to the communities you join
• Be Authentic: Be yourself and encourage others to do the same

If you feel unsafe or witness a violation of our community guidelines, please contact us immediately at info@communities.support.

Any violation of these principles may result in removal from the platform.

Privacy & Data Usage

Your information is used solely to enhance your community experience:

• We use your data to connect you with relevant communities and events
• We do not sell your data to third parties
• Community feedback helps us improve future experiences but remains confidential
• You may request account deletion and data removal at any time

For more details, refer to our Privacy Policy.

Event Costs & Payments

While Communities is a free platform, there are paid features and services available:

Refund Policy

• Refunds for community-hosted events are handled directly by the individual communities
• Each community sets their own refund policy and terms for their events
• Communities (the platform) does not process or guarantee refunds for community-hosted events
• Please check with the event organizer about their specific refund policy before purchasing

Life is unpredictable, and we understand that. We're human too, and we'll work with you when genuine emergencies arise.

Limitation of Liability

While Communities creates opportunities for connection, we are not responsible for:

• The actions, behaviours, or interactions of community members
• Any personal or financial loss during events
• Last-minute changes due to unforeseen circumstances beyond our control

However, if there's any misconduct, harm, or serious violation of our community values, we will take action—including legal steps if necessary.

By participating, you acknowledge that you do so at your own risk but also with the trust that Communities is built to keep things meaningful, safe, and human.

Updates to These Terms

As Communities evolves, so may these terms. If we make significant changes, we'll notify users via email or through platform notifications. Continued participation after updates implies acceptance of the revised terms.
