1. Platform Role

Socialize provides an online platform that allows users to discover and participate in social events organized by independent venues or organizers.

Socialize acts solely as a technology platform facilitating event discovery and communication between users and organizers.

3. Event Participation Disclaimer

By attending an event discovered through Socialize, participants acknowledge that Socialize only provides the platform for event discovery; events are organized by independent organizers; and Socialize does not supervise or manage events. Participation is voluntary and occurs at the participant's own risk.

Socialize shall not be responsible for:

• injuries
• accidents
• lost property
• criminal behavior of participants
• event cancellations
• schedule changes

Any disputes must be addressed directly with the event organizer or venue.

8. Acceptable Use Policy

Users confirm they have the rights to share this content.

Socialize reserves the right to review, remove, or restrict content that violates laws or platform policies, threatens safety, or is misleading or fraudulent. Moderation decisions are made at Socialize's discretion.

14. Account Suspension and Termination
