Terms of use

1. Acceptance of these terms

By accessing this website or participating in an Elite Forums programme, you agree to these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the website or submit a registration.

2. Our services and content

Elite Forums provides community activities, events, workshops, founder sessions, resources and partnership opportunities. Programme details, dates, locations, speakers and availability may change. A listing or expression of interest does not guarantee admission, attendance, a partnership or any particular outcome.

Some pages may contain illustrative or sample concepts. Where content is marked as sample, it is not a confirmed programme or promise of delivery.

3. Eligibility and registration

You must provide accurate, current and complete information when submitting a form. You are responsible for keeping your contact details up to date and for ensuring you have permission to submit information about any organisation or other person.

We may accept, decline or cancel registrations at our discretion, including where capacity, safety, eligibility, programme fit or inaccurate information is involved. If an event changes or is cancelled, we will make reasonable efforts to notify registered participants using the contact details provided.

4. Legal compliance and consumer information

We will describe material programme terms, eligibility, fees (if any), dates, locations, cancellation conditions and support channels in the relevant event or registration information. Nothing in these terms removes rights that cannot be excluded under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 or another applicable law.

You must comply with laws relating to online conduct, privacy, intellectual property, cyber security, anti-fraud, advertising, taxation and venue safety. You must not use our service to facilitate unlawful activity or publish deceptive claims.

5. Community standards and reporting

When interacting with Elite Forums or other participants, you agree to:

• treat people respectfully and avoid harassment, discrimination, threats or abuse;
• avoid spam, impersonation, fraud, malicious code and unauthorised access;
• respect confidentiality and intellectual property shared by other participants;
• not use the community to solicit unlawfully or exploit other members; and
• follow reasonable instructions from event organisers and venue staff.

We may remove content, restrict participation or suspend access where these standards are breached or where necessary to protect the community.

Report abuse, illegal content, impersonation, security concerns or urgent safety issues through our Contact page. Include the relevant URL, event, account or message and supporting details. We may preserve evidence, restrict access, cooperate with lawful requests and notify affected people or authorities where required.

6. Your submissions and publicity consent

You retain ownership of information and materials you submit. You grant Elite Forums a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free permission to use, store and reproduce those materials as necessary to review your request, operate a programme and communicate with you.

Do not submit material that is unlawful, infringing, confidential without permission, malicious or unsafe. You are responsible for having the rights and permissions needed for anything you provide.

We will not use your name, photograph, recording, testimonial or identifiable story for promotional publication unless you provide separate permission where required. Event photography or recording will be disclosed through the event notice and reasonable opt-out or alternative arrangements will be provided where practicable.

7. Intellectual property

The Elite Forums name, logo, visual identity, website design, original copy and other materials we provide belong to Elite Forums or our licensors. You may view and use the website for personal, educational or legitimate programme purposes. You may not copy, modify, sell, distribute, scrape or commercially exploit our materials without written permission.

8. Payments, cancellations and refunds

If an event or service has a fee, the applicable page or checkout will state the price, taxes, payment provider, cancellation window and refund conditions. A payment may be processed by a third-party provider under its terms. We will not request card numbers, one-time passwords or banking credentials through an ordinary website form.

Where an event is cancelled or materially changed by us, the event-specific notice will explain available alternatives or refunds, subject to applicable consumer law and the terms shown at purchase.

9. Third-party services and links

The website may link to third-party services, social platforms, event venues or resources. Those services are controlled by their own providers and terms. We are not responsible for their content, availability, security or privacy practices.

10. Event safety and assumption of risk

You must follow organiser, venue and emergency instructions. You are responsible for providing accurate accessibility, dietary or health information relevant to a safe participation decision. We do not ask you to disclose unnecessary medical information through public forms.

Events can involve travel, crowds, equipment, public venues and interactions with other participants. We take reasonable precautions but cannot eliminate every risk. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence where such exclusion is unlawful.

11. Disclaimers

The website and programme information are provided on an “as available” basis. To the extent permitted by law, we do not guarantee that the website will always be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, current or suitable for a particular purpose. Community content and founder perspectives are informational and do not constitute legal, financial, investment, employment or professional advice.

12. Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Elite Forums and its organisers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss arising from your use of the website, participation in a programme, reliance on content or interactions with other participants. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot legally be limited.

13. Indemnity

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Elite Forums, its organisers and service providers from claims, losses and reasonable costs arising from your unlawful use of the website, breach of these terms, infringement of another person’s rights, or material you submit. This does not apply to the extent a claim is caused by our own unlawful conduct or negligence.

14. Changes, suspension and termination

We may update these terms, change a programme or discontinue website features from time to time. We may suspend or end access where necessary for security, legal, operational or community reasons. The latest version will be posted on this page.

15. Complaints, governing law and disputes
