LynkUps — Terms of Use (Draft v0.1, en-GB)

⚠️ DRAFT for review by a qualified solicitor before launch. UK-first;

jurisdiction-specific versions are added as policy packs (see

docs/COMPLIANCE.md). This document is summarised in-app at signup; users

must actively accept it (no pre-ticked boxes).

1. Who we are

LynkUps ("we", "us") provides an app and website where people discover,

join and host local events. Operator details, registered address and contact

([email protected]) to be completed at incorporation.

2. Your account

• You must be 18 or over. We use government-approved digital identity

services to verify age (see Privacy Policy §6). Unverified accounts have

limited functionality.

• One account per person; keep your credentials secure; you are responsible

for activity on your account.

3. Community rules (user-generated content)

You may not create events, messages or profiles that involve or promote:

illegal activity; violence or threats; hate or harassment; sexual services;

weapons or drugs; scams, pyramid schemes or unauthorised commercial

promotion; the exploitation of any person (see our Modern Slavery Statement);

or the endangerment of minors — minors are not permitted on the platform.

We use a combination of automated systems (including AI review of events and

chat) and human moderators to enforce these rules. We may remove content,

restrict, suspend or ban accounts, and where legally required we report to

authorities. You can appeal moderation decisions via in-app support.

4. Events — hosting and attending

• Hosts are responsible for the lawfulness and safety of their events,

describing them accurately (including cost, equipment and risks), and

complying with venue rules, licensing and insurance where applicable.

• LynkUps is a discovery platform, not the organiser of events and not a

party to arrangements between attendees; attend at your own judgement.

• Hosts may take an attendance register and must use report tools responsibly.
• Safety tools: report a person, event or message from any screen where you

see them; block users; contact emergency services first for danger.

5. Promoted events

Some events are paid promotions. They are always labelled "Promoted", are

subject to the same content rules and moderation, and are shown subject to

the same relevance and distance controls as any other event.

6. Cancellations & no-shows

Repeated no-shows or last-minute host cancellations may reduce account

standing and visibility.

7. Your content & licence

You keep ownership of what you post; you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive

licence to host, display and distribute it for operating the service.

8. Liability

Nothing excludes liability that cannot be excluded under law (including

death or personal injury caused by our negligence). Otherwise the service is

provided "as is"; our total liability is limited to the greater of £100 or

amounts you paid us in the previous 12 months.

9. Changes, termination, governing law

We may update these terms with notice; continued use is acceptance. You may

delete your account at any time in-app (see Privacy Policy for retention).

England & Wales law; UK users retain their statutory rights.
