By accessing or using Ripple, you agree to these Terms of Service ("Terms") and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you may not use the Service.

Last updated: 2 July 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By creating an account, using Ripple, or attending any event discovered through or organized via Ripple, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy.

Access to Terms: These Terms are publicly available and accessible at all times through the Ripple app and website. You confirm that you have had the opportunity to review these Terms before using the Service or attending any event.

Agreement by Attendance: Your attendance at any event, whether organized by Ripple or by other users through the platform, constitutes your acceptance of and agreement to be bound by these Terms, including all liability waivers, releases, and indemnification provisions contained herein.

2. Eligibility and Age Requirements (18+)

Ripple is an 18+ service. You must be at least 18 years old to create an account or otherwise access or use Ripple. Persons under 18 are not permitted to use Ripple. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you are 18 years of age or older. We do not knowingly permit anyone under 18 to use Ripple. Accounts we identify as belonging to a person under 18 may be restricted, deactivated, or removed.

You must provide your true age. You agree to enter your date of birth and age accurately and truthfully, and not to misrepresent your age or provide false information to circumvent our age requirements. Providing a false age, or helping anyone under 18 access the Service, is a breach of these Terms and may result in immediate suspension or termination of your account.

How we confirm your age. We confirm your age using the date of birth you provide when you create your account, and we may take further reasonable steps to confirm your age where we consider it necessary or where the law requires. How we handle the information involved is described in our Privacy Policy.

Appeals. If your account is flagged, restricted, or deactivated because we believe you may be under 18, and you are in fact 18 or older, you may appeal. To request a review, contact us at ripplesocialapphelp@gmail.com. Where an appeal is upheld, we will restore your account and associated data. Before any permanent deletion of a flagged account, we will provide notice, an opportunity to appeal, and the ability to export your data.

3. Platform Role and Responsibilities

Ripple is a platform provider only. We provide a platform that enables users to discover, create, and host events. We are not the organizer, host, or operator of events listed on our platform, except where explicitly stated by us.

Even for events we organize, we act solely as facilitators. We do not control, supervise, or manage the conduct of event hosts or attendees. While we make reasonable efforts to promote safe and positive experiences, we provide no guarantees regarding event quality, safety, suitability, or outcomes.

You acknowledge that event hosts are independent third parties responsible for their own events, and Ripple has no obligation to screen, vet, or monitor hosts, attendees, or event content.

4. Event Liability and Assumption of Risk

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE TO THE FOLLOWING:

No Liability for User Conduct: We are not responsible for and expressly disclaim all liability related to the behavior, actions, or conduct of any user, whether at events or on the platform. Users are solely responsible for their own actions and interactions.

No Duty to Monitor: We have no obligation to monitor, supervise, or intervene in events or user interactions. Any safety measures, guidelines, or recommendations we provide are voluntary and do not create any duty of care or liability on our part.

5. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Released Parties from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, expenses, or fees (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from or related to: (a) your use of the Service; (b) your attendance at or hosting of any event; (c) your violation of these Terms; (d) your violation of any rights of another person or entity; or (e) any injury, damage, or harm caused by you to any third party.

6. Data Privacy and Security Risks

No Guarantee of Data Security: While we implement reasonable security measures, we make NO WARRANTIES OR GUARANTEES regarding the security, integrity, or availability of your data. We cannot and do not guarantee that your information will be protected from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

Assumption of Privacy Risks: By using our Service and providing your personal information, you voluntarily assume all risks associated with data storage, transmission, and processing. You acknowledge that no data transmission over the internet or electronic storage method is 100% secure.

Release from Data-Related Claims: You release and hold harmless the Released Parties from any and all claims, damages, losses, or liabilities arising from or related to:

• Loss, corruption, or deletion of your data or personal information
• Unauthorized access to or disclosure of your account or personal information
• Data breaches, security incidents, or cyberattacks affecting the Service
• Privacy violations or exposure of your personal information to third parties
• Identity theft, fraud, or financial loss resulting from compromised data
• Emotional distress or reputational harm from privacy breaches

Your Responsibility: You are solely responsible for maintaining backups of any important information and for protecting the confidentiality of your account credentials. We strongly recommend that you do not store highly sensitive or irreplaceable information on our platform.

7. User Responsibilities and Prohibited Conduct

You are solely responsible for your conduct on the platform and at events. You must not:

• Engage in harassment, abuse, stalking, threats, intimidation, discrimination, or defamation
• Participate in bullying or incite others to harass users
• Post explicit sexual content, pornography, or make unsolicited sexual advances
• Promote hate speech, racism, bigotry, or physical harm
• Use the Service for illegal activities or violate any laws
• Impersonate others or misrepresent your affiliations
• Send spam, advertisements, or unauthorized commercial content
• Transmit malicious software or interfere with the Service
• Scrape data or create compilations without written permission

Violations may result in immediate account termination and reporting to law enforcement.

8. Intellectual Property

The Service and its content, features, and functionality are the exclusive property of Ripple and its licensors. Our trademarks may not be used without prior written consent.

9. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

We make no warranties regarding event safety, quality, accuracy of event information, or suitability for any purpose. We do not guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free.

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE RELEASED PARTIES SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:

• Data loss, corruption, deletion, or destruction of your personal information or account data
• Data breaches, security incidents, or unauthorized access to your information
• Privacy violations, identity theft, or fraud resulting from compromised data
• Loss of profits, data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses
• Personal injury, illness, death, or property damage
• Damages arising from your use of or inability to use the Service
• Conduct or content of any third party, including event hosts and attendees
• Events, incidents, or accidents occurring at or related to events

This limitation applies regardless of the legal theory (warranty, contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise) and even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or limitation of liability for incidental or consequential damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you.

11. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia, without regard to conflict of law provisions.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may modify these Terms at any time at our sole discretion. Material changes will be notified at least 30 days in advance. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
