Events, Safety and Assumption of Risk

Hypefindr shows you what is happening. It does not run any of it. Every event on Hypefindr is organized by someone else, or by no one, and you go at your own risk. This policy is part of the Terms of Service, and Sections 13, 23, 24 and 25 of the Terms apply to everything in it.

1. What Hypefindr does and does not do

2. If you host or list an event

You are the organizer, and you alone are responsible for the event and for everyone who comes because of your listing. You must:

1. Be accurate. Give the true date, time, location, cost, age limit, what is good to know and nature of the event, and keep the listing current. Name only real hosts, and only with their permission, including a person or business that is not on Hypefindr.
2. Have the right to the place. Get the owner's or venue's permission. Never list a private home without the owner's consent, and never publish an address you are not authorized to share.
3. Get permits and follow the law. Obtain every permit and license required, and follow fire-code capacity, noise, liquor, food safety, accessibility, zoning and public assembly laws.
4. Control the crowd. Do not invite more people than the place can safely hold. Provide security, crowd management, first aid and clear exits suited to the crowd you expect.
5. Check ID. For any event with an age limit, check government ID at the door. The app's 18+ or 21+ rating is not age verification.
6. Never serve minors. Do not provide alcohol, cannabis, tobacco, vapes or drugs to anyone under the legal age.
7. Plan for emergencies. Know the nearest exits, how to reach emergency services, and who is in charge if something goes wrong.
8. Confirm or cancel. For a plan made more than a day ahead, we ask you 24, 12 and 6 hours before it starts whether it is still on. Tap It's on, or Call it off. If you do not answer, we take it down 3 hours before the start and tell everyone who was attending or saved it as a favorite. If the event is canceled or changed at any time, update it or call it off immediately. For a repeating plan, call off any date that will not happen and stop repeating when the series ends. Refunds for anything you charged are your responsibility.
9. Carry insurance. We strongly recommend event liability insurance. Hypefindr has no insurance that covers your event.
10. Do not claim affiliation. Do not suggest that Hypefindr, a venue, a brand or a performer endorses or sponsors your event unless they have agreed in writing.

3. If you attend an event

• Decide for yourself. Look at who is hosting, whether the details make sense, whether the host has confirmed it, and whether you feel safe.
• Assume some listings are wrong or fake. Confirm details with the venue or host where you can.
• Go with people you trust and tell someone where you are going.
• Arrange your own transportation and have a way home.
• Watch your drink and your belongings.
• Leave if a place is overcrowded, a crowd starts pushing, or you feel unsafe. In a dense crowd, move diagonally toward open space and keep your arms in front of your chest.
• Call 911 or your local emergency number in an emergency, then report the event or account to us.

4. Age limits at events

Every Hypefindr user must be 18 or older, but the real-world events people list may be open to anyone. Every event and post in the app is rated 18+ (the default) or 21+. A 21+ rating means the app shows it only to users whose date of birth says they are 21 or older. Ratings depend on what hosts choose and on the dates of birth users give us. We cannot guarantee that everyone at an event is of age. Hosts must check ID. Parents and guardians are responsible for the events their children attend.

5. Public happenings no one listed

Users may post or stream about public happenings they did not organize, such as street festivals, parades, sports celebrations or traffic. These posts are not official listings and may be wrong. Nobody on Hypefindr is responsible for organizing them.

6. Protests and demonstrations

You may share lawful protests and demonstrations. Hypefindr takes no position on any cause. Follow permit rules and police lawful orders. Participants assume the risks of attending, including arrest, injury and exposure to crowd-control measures. Using the app to plan violence, property destruction or the blocking of emergency routes is never allowed.

7. Weather, cancellations and changes

Events may be canceled, moved or changed without the listing being updated, even after the host confirmed them. Reminders for events you are attending ("Tomorrow" and "Starting soon") are sent automatically unless the host turned them off, and they do not mean the details are still right. When a plan is called off or taken down, we tell the people who pulled up or were interested, but a message may arrive late or not at all. Check weather and official sources before you go.

8. Tickets and payments

Hypefindr does not sell tickets or process payments for events. Any money you pay goes to the host or a third party, under their terms. We are not responsible for refunds, cancellations, fake tickets or chargebacks. Never pay by gift card, wire transfer, cryptocurrency or any other untraceable method.

9. Venues and businesses

If your venue or business is named in an event you did not approve, or a listing falsely claims your affiliation or uses your property without permission, email hype.hypefindr@gmail.com with the subject "Venue Request," the link to the listing, and proof of your connection to the venue. We will review it and may remove or relabel the listing. We do not remove truthful posts, photos or opinions just because they are negative. Counts, energy and atmosphere averages reflect user activity and our algorithms, not Hypefindr's opinion.

10. If something happened at an event

1. Call 911, your local emergency number, or the police.
2. Report the event, or the posts and live streams involved, in the app, or email hype.hypefindr@gmail.com with the subject "Safety."
3. Ask the police to contact us if they need records. We preserve relevant data when we receive a valid preservation request.

We do not investigate crimes, and we do not give information about users to other users or their lawyers without valid legal process, such as a subpoena. See the Law Enforcement Guidelines.

11. Assumption of risk

BY USING HYPEFINDR TO FIND, ATTEND, HOST, PROMOTE OR STREAM ANY EVENT OR PLACE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THE RISKS LISTED IN SECTION 24.1 OF THE TERMS OF SERVICE, YOU VOLUNTARILY ASSUME THEM, AND YOU GIVE THE RELEASE IN SECTION 24.3 OF THE TERMS. HYPEFINDR IS NOT LIABLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS AT ANY EVENT OR PLACE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS.
