2. Himeet’s Services and Role

2.1 What We Provide

Himeet delivers a comprehensive mini‑program on Wechat or event discovery and RSVP, including:

• Search & Discovery: Keyword and category-based search; location-based suggestions; personalized recommendations based on your interests and past activity.

• Event Listings: Detailed pages with descriptions, schedules, speaker/host bios, multimedia galleries, and real-time attendee counts.

All financial transactions are conducted off-platform.

• Payment Arrangements: Consumers must contact Organisers to arrange payment by bank transfer, digital wallet, or in-person at the Venue.

• Liability Disclaimer: Himeet is neither agent nor escrow for any payments; we do not hold funds or process refunds. Organisers set and enforce their own payment and refund policies.

2.3 Flagging Algorithm

Himeet employs both automated algorithms and manual reviews to identify and mitigate fraud, abuse, and other suspicious activity, ensuring a safe and trustworthy environment for all Users:

• Detection Criteria: Flags may be raised for patterns such as unusual login locations or frequencies, repeated event cancellations, high no-show rates, multiple complaints from attendees, or registration via disposable or unverified contact information.

• Account Review: When flagged, a User will receive an in-app notification explaining the reason for review. The User may be asked to verify identity or provide supplemental documentation (e.g., government ID, proof of address).

• Actions & Enforcement: Following review, Himeet may, in its sole discretion, issue warnings, restrict access to certain features (e.g., event creation, messaging), impose temporary suspensions, or permanently ban the account and associated devices.

• Appeals & Final Determination: Flagged Users may submit an appeal within 14 days by contacting support and providing relevant evidence. While Himeet will consider submitted materials, Himeet expressly reserves the right to make the final determination regarding any enforcement action. All decisions on account status, restrictions, or bans are at Himeet’s sole and absolute discretion and are final.

2.4 Organiser Responsibilities

Organisers are critical to the success and safety of each Event. You must ensure the following at all times:

• Compliance & Permits: Obtain and maintain all necessary licences, permits, approvals, and contracts for the Event and Venue, including:

  • Local authority permits (e.g., public gathering, noise, alcohol service).

  • Venue rental or partnership agreements outlining rights and responsibilities.

  • Insurance coverage, such as public-liability and event cancellation insurance.

• Event Logistics & Safety: Plan and execute Events with clear attention to attendee well‑being:

  • Accurate Event Descriptions: Publish full details including date, time, location, agenda, speakers, and any fees. Update descriptions promptly if changes occur.

  • Capacity Management: Confirm venue capacity limits, manage RSVPs to avoid overbooking, and have an approved plan for crowd control.

  • Safety Protocols: Implement venue safety measures (e.g., fire exits, first‑aid kits, emergency contacts) and adhere to local health guidelines (e.g., COVID‑19 precautions).

  • Accessibility & Inclusion: Provide reasonable accommodations (ramps, seating, sign-language interpretation) and clearly state accessibility features in Event listings.

  • Equipment & Vendors: Verify third‑party vendors (caterers, audio/visual) hold required licences and insurance, and coordinate setup/tear‑down safely.

  • Pre‑Event Notifications: Send reminders, directions, parking and transit tips via WeChat subscription messages or email at least 48 hours and 2 hours before the Event.

  • On‑Site Announcements: Provide clear signage and on-site staff or volunteers to assist attendees.

  • Change & Cancellation Policy: Publicly post your refund, rescheduling, and cancellation policy at registration and notify all RSVPed attendees immediately if any change occurs.

• Event Execution & Post‑Event: Deliver a high‑quality, compliant experience:

  • Check‑In Procedures: Use in‑app attendee lists; verify identities manually if needed; keep backup lists.

  • Content & Conduct Oversight: Ensure speakers and staff adhere to Community Guidelines; actively monitor for harassment, policy violations, or inappropriate materials.

  • Content Compliance & Screening: Do not upload, display, or distribute any images or text that may be illegal, defamatory, extremist, or otherwise suspicious. All uploaded media must comply with local laws, venue policies, and WeChat’s developer and content rules. Himeet may employ automated or manual screening to detect prohibited content, and Organisers must promptly remove or correct any flagged materials.

  • Data Protection: Handle attendee data securely, using it only for Event‑related communications and in compliance with data-protection laws.

  • Post‑Event Follow-Up: Share thank-you messages, distribute surveys, and process any refunds or issue reports within your stated timeframes.

Failure to uphold these responsibilities may result in Event removal, suspension of Organiser privileges, or other enforcement actions by Himeet.**

Consumers agree to:

• Code of Conduct: Respect Organisers, venues, and fellow attendees; avoid harassment or disruptive behaviour.

• Information Accuracy: Provide truthful RSVP details and update contact information if changed.

• Risk Awareness: Review event safety guidelines and health requirements prior to attendance.

• Feedback & Ratings: Submit honest post‑event reviews to help future Consumers and Organisers.

Reports can be submitted directly from the Event page by selecting “Report an Issue,” and Himeet will investigate and follow up as needed.

2.6 Featured Events and Merchant Partnerships

Himeet may collaborate with select Merchants or Organisers to feature certain Events or listings as “精选活动” (Featured Events) or “精选商家” (Featured Merchants). Such designations indicate a commercial partnership or sponsorship arrangement.

  • Calendar integrations require explicit user consent and may prompt OAuth login flows.

Himeet is committed to protecting your personal data and ensuring transparent handling of your information. This section explains how we collect, use, share, and safeguard data within the Platform and the WeChat ecosystem.

3.1 Privacy Policy

We collect, use, and store personal data in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable data‑protection laws (including UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018). This includes data you provide directly (e.g., registration details) and data collected automatically (e.g., usage metrics).

3.2 Consent to Cookies & Tracking

We use cookies, pixels, and analytics tools to improve Platform performance and user experience. Examples include:

• Session Cookies: Maintain login and navigation states.

• Analytics Pixels: Track page views, feature usage, and conversion metrics.

• Performance Cookies: Identify and remedy technical issues.

You may manage or disable cookies and tracking in your WeChat privacy settings, though some features may be degraded.

3.3 Organiser Data Obligations

Organisers collecting Consumer data through the Platform must:

• Provide clear, conspicuous privacy notices at the point of data collection.

• Obtain all necessary consents for processing personal data (e.g., email, phone number).

• Use collected data solely for Event administration (e.g., sending updates, check‑in lists).

• Retain data no longer than required for the Event and related legal obligations.

• Securely delete or anonymise data once no longer needed, unless retention is mandated by law.

3.4 Location Privacy

Location sharing is entirely optional, and you may choose one of the following settings when prompted by WeChat or within the Platform’s privacy panel:

• No Location: Decline all location access; Himeet will base event suggestions on your profile settings, selected region, or manual searches.

• Precise Location (GPS‑Level): Share your exact GPS coordinates via WeChat Location Tracking service to access highly accurate nearby Events, navigation, and on‑demand directions.

Use Case & Data Handling:

• We use location data solely to power event discovery, map displays, and navigation features.

• No location history is stored longer than necessary for the current session; location data is discarded once it is no longer in active use.

Revocation & Change:

• You can revoke or modify location permissions at any time via your WeChat privacy settings or later via website, application or any other official site og HiMeet in the Platform’s privacy panel.

• If you switch from Precise to Coarse or No Location, existing location‑based recommendations will cease, and you may need to reload or restart the mini‑program for changes to take effect.

Transparency & Control:

• At any point, Himeet will display your current location‑sharing status in the Platform’s “Privacy Settings” screen.

• Detailed guidance on managing WeChat mini‑program permissions is available via WeChat’s help documentation.

3.5 WeChat Data Privacy & Third‑Party Screening

Operating as a WeChat mini‑program, we access certain WeChat-provided data under Tencent’s developer policies:

• Profile Information: We receive your WeChat nickname, avatar, and unique OpenID to authenticate and personalise your experience.

• No Access to Contacts or Messages: We do not access your WeChat friend list, chat histories, phonebook, or other sensitive modules.

• Media Screening: With your consent, Himeet may scan user-uploaded avatars, event photos, and multimedia content using third‑party moderation APIs (e.g., image-recognition services) to detect illegal, extremist, defamatory, or otherwise prohibited content. Any flagged media will be quarantined pending manual review, and Organisers must rectify non-compliant items within 24 hours.

• Address & Contact Data: If you provide address or phone number details for event logistics, we only hold these information in necessary time.

• Future API Integrations: Himeet reserves the right to incorporate additional third-party privacy or security services (e.g., phone-number validation, address verification, fraud detection) to enhance safety. All new integrations will be subject to explicit user consent and documented in our Privacy Policy.

Your continued use of the Platform after any updates to these practices indicates your acceptance of the revised data-handling methods.

4. Term; Termination

4.1 Term

These Terms are effective upon your first use of the Platform and remain in effect until terminated.

4.2 Suspension, Review & Termination by Himeet

We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms, engage in harmful conduct, or as required by law.

In addition, Himeet reserves the right at any time, in its sole discretion and without prior notice, to:

• Flag your account for review based on suspicious activity detected by our automated algorithms or manual reports;

• Restrict your access to certain features or events while a review is pending;

• Manage your account status by imposing conditions, such as additional verification steps;

• Delete your account and associated data if we determine a material violation of these Terms or deem the risk to our community unacceptable.

Such actions do not require proof of wrongdoing and may be taken as a precautionary or protective measure for the safety and integrity of the Platform.

4.3 Deleting Your Account

You may delete your account at any time by accessing the "Delete Account" option within the Platform settings. Upon deletion:

• Data Retention: We will deactivate your profile immediately but retain certain information (e.g., transaction logs, messages, flagging history) as required to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce these Terms, or prevent fraud.

• Obligations and Liabilities: Deleting your account does not relieve you of obligations or liabilities that arose prior to deletion, including payment or refund obligations to Organisers or Consumers.

• Reactivation: You may request account reactivation within 30 days of deletion by contacting support; after 30 days, your profile and associated data may be permanently deleted and cannot be recovered.

• Third‑Party Data: Any data shared with Organisers or third parties (e.g., messages, RSVPs) before deletion remains subject to those Organisers’ own data practices and policies.

4.4 Survival

Even if you delete your account or stop using Himeet, some rights and responsibilities will still apply after termination. This includes:

• Responsibilities for things that happened before account deletion (e.g. event-related claims or damages).

• Legal disclaimers and your acceptance of risks from past activities.

• Limitations on liability for past platform use or event issues.

• Ongoing rules for resolving disputes (e.g. arbitration, no class actions).

• Himeet’s continued right to use content or trademarks you shared before deletion.

• The ability to send or receive legal notices even after your account is closed.

• Governing law and jurisdiction still apply to unresolved matters.

• Confidentiality obligations and intellectual property rights continue indefinitely.

These terms survive to help resolve any unfinished issues and protect both you and Himeet fairly, even after our service relationship ends.

5. Event Responsibility and Reporting

5.1 Platform Role and No Guarantees

Himeet provides a platform to discover, promote, and manage events, but does not organize or control most events listed. Himeet does not guarantee the quality, accuracy, safety, legality, or success of any event, nor does it endorse any Organiser, venue, or participant. Attendance is at your own discretion and risk.

5.2 User Discretion and Due Diligence

You are solely responsible for evaluating whether an event is appropriate for you. This includes reviewing event details, Organiser profiles, venue policies, and any associated risks. Himeet encourages you to conduct reasonable due diligence before attending or purchasing tickets for any event.

5.3 Event Feedback and Reporting System

To support community safety and quality, Himeet maintains a reporting and feedback system. You may report issues such as inappropriate conduct, safety concerns, event misrepresentation, or violations of platform rules directly through the Platform. Reports are reviewed by Himeet’s moderation team and may result in warnings, suspension, or removal of events, users, or Organisers.

5.4 No Refunds or Guarantees

Unless stated otherwise in an event’s specific refund policy, Himeet is not responsible for refunding tickets or resolving disputes related to event quality or experience. Resolution of such matters is typically the responsibility of the Organiser, though Himeet may intervene at its discretion in cases of verified misconduct or fraud.

5.5 Pattern-Based Enforcement

Repeated reports of misconduct or event issues may result in disciplinary action by Himeet, including but not limited to suspension of Organiser accounts, delisting of events, or permanent bans. Enforcement is based on verified patterns of behavior, not isolated complaints.

6. Release and Indemnification

6.1 Release

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you hereby forever release and discharge Himeet (and its Affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns, the “Released Parties”) from any and all claims, demands, actions, causes of action, liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal and accounting fees) of any nature whatsoever, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, arising out of or in connection with:

• Your access to, use of, or inability to use the Services;

• Your attendance at, participation in, or hosting of any event discovered, managed, or advertised via the Platform;

• The negligence, acts, or omissions of any Organiser, venue operator, or other third party related to any event;

• Your reliance on any Site Content or information provided by other Users;

• Any personal injury, property damage, illness, or other harm you may suffer in connection with an event;

• Any dispute between you and another User or third party in connection with the Platform or an event.

You acknowledge and agree that this release applies to claims you do not know or suspect to exist at the time you accept these Terms, and that you may hereafter discover facts different from or in addition to those you now know or believe to be true.

6.2 Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Released Parties from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees) arising out of, relating to, or resulting from any third-party claim, suit, or proceeding (each, a “Claim”) that arises from or relates to:

1. Your breach of these Terms, any Policies incorporated herein, or any representation, warranty, or covenant you make under these Terms;

2. Your negligence, willful misconduct, or fraud in connection with your use of the Services or participation in any event;

3. Any content you submit, post, or transmit through the Platform, including infringement or misappropriation of any intellectual property or privacy rights;

4. Your violation of any applicable law, regulation, or third-party right;

5. Your use of third-party services or products in connection with the Services or any event;

6. Any obligations you owe to other Users or third parties, including Organisers or venues, arising from events you attend or host.

6.2.1 Indemnification Procedure

• Notice: Himeet will provide you with prompt written notice of any Claim for which it seeks indemnification. Failure to provide prompt notice will only relieve you of indemnification obligations to the extent materially prejudiced.

• Control of Defense: You have sole control over the defense and settlement of any Claim, provided that you may not settle any Claim without Himeet’s prior written consent if such settlement imposes any liability on the Released Parties or requires any admission of fault.

• Cooperation: You shall cooperate fully with Himeet in the defense of any Claim, including providing reasonable assistance and authority at no cost to Himeet.

These indemnification obligations will survive termination of these Terms.

7. Disclaimer of Warranties and Assumption of Risks by You

7.1 No Warranties (AS IS, AS AVAILABLE)

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Services (including all features, Site Content, and any communications or materials provided through the Platform) are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without any warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise.

• Merchantability: No warranty that the Services will meet your needs or be merchantable.

• Fitness for a Particular Purpose: No warranty the Services are fit for any specific purpose or use.

• Accuracy or Reliability: No warranty the information, event listings, or Site Content will be accurate, complete, or reliable.

• Non-Infringement: No warranty the Services or events will not infringe any third-party rights.

• Availability, Security, or Performance: No warranty the Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of viruses or other harmful components.

7.2 No Control Over Third Parties

Himeet does not control, endorse, or guarantee the actions, omissions, policies, or practices of Organisers, venues, or other third parties. You are solely responsible for any personal or financial arrangements made off-platform (including event fees, refunds, or insurance).

7.3 Assumption of Risks

Attendance at or participation in meetups and events carries inherent risks, including but not limited to:

• Physical injury, illness, or medical emergencies;

• Property loss, theft, or damage;

• Adverse reactions to venue conditions (e.g., loud noise, lighting, allergens);

• Transmission of communicable diseases;

• Weather-related hazards for outdoor events.

By choosing to attend or host an event, you assume all such risks, known or unknown, and accept full responsibility for any harm, loss, or damage you may suffer.

7.4 Waiver for Himeet-Hosted Events

If Himeet or its Affiliates directly host or organise an event, you agree that Himeet and its Released Parties shall not be liable for any claims, damages, losses, or expenses arising from your participation. You hereby waive, release, and forever discharge any rights to sue or recover compensation from Himeet for bodily injury, property damage, or wrongful death in connection with such events.

7.5 Beta and Experimental Features

Himeet may introduce beta or experimental features ("Beta Features") at its sole discretion. Such features may be unstable or subject to change. Any use of Beta Features is voluntary and at your own risk, and Himeet disclaims all liability arising from their use.

7.6 Flagging System & Ultimate Risk

While Himeet employs an automated flagging algorithm combined with manual review to detect and mitigate suspicious or unsafe Events, Organisers, and Consumers (Section 2.3), these measures cannot guarantee your safety or eliminate all risks. You acknowledge that:

• Preventive Measures: The flagging system may restrict or remove accounts, Events, or content deemed suspicious, but it may not catch every potential hazard.

• No Guarantee: Himeet does not warrant that flagged or unflagged content is free from risk or compliant with all legal or safety standards.

• Assumption of Risk: You remain fully responsible for assessing and accepting any remaining risks associated with attending or hosting an Event, regardless of any protective measures implemented by Himeet.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Himeet’s liability to you arising out of or related to these Terms and your use of the Platform or any Event shall be subject to the following limits and exceptions:

8.1 Cap on Liability

Himeet’s aggregate liability arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services shall not exceed the greater of:

• £100 GBP, or

• The total fees you have paid to Himeet in the three (3) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

This cap reflects the parties’ allocation of risk, the nominal cost of providing the free-to-use Platform, and the limited potential for Himeet to control or influence off-platform transactions. the parties’ allocation of risk, the nominal cost of providing the free-to-use Platform, and the limited potential for Himeet to control or influence Off‑Platform transactions.

8.2 No Indirect or Consequential Damages

Except as prohibited by applicable law, in no event shall Himeet, its Affiliates, or any Released Parties be liable for any:

• Indirect, incidental, special, punitive, or consequential damages (including lost profits, lost data, lost opportunities, or business interruption), even if Himeet has been advised of the possibility of such damages;

• Loss of goodwill or reputational harm;

• Any damages arising from events organized by third parties, such as Organisers or venues, to which Himeet merely provides technical or promotional support.

Except for liability described in Section 8.2, in no event shall Himeet, its Affiliates, or any Released Parties be liable for any:

• Indirect, incidental, special, punitive, or consequential damages (including lost profits, lost data, lost opportunities, or business interruption), even if Himeet has been advised of the possibility of such damages;

• Loss of goodwill or reputational harm;

• Any damages arising from events organized by third parties, such as Organisers or venues, to which Himeet merely provides technical or promotional support.

8.3 Reasonableness and Fairness

The parties agree that these limitations are reasonable given the free or low‑cost nature of the Services, the community-driven model of event curation, and the function of the Platform as a connector rather than a direct provider of off‑Platform products or services.

8.4 Remedies

Your sole and exclusive remedy for any dispute with Himeet shall be limited to the remedies expressly set forth in these Terms, including the caps and exclusions in this Section 8 and the dispute-resolution procedures in Section 9.

Nothing in this Section 8 shall affect any other rights or remedies you may have under mandatory provisions of consumer protection laws in your jurisdiction.

9. IMPORTANT: BINDING ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER PROVISIONS

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

Any dispute under these Terms will be resolved by individual arbitration before the London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA) in London, UK, under its rules. You may choose small claims court for disputes under £10,000. Class or representative actions are waived.

9.1 Informal Resolution

Before initiating arbitration, you must first contact Himeet support through the mini-program’s Help & Support section. If the dispute remains unresolved 60 days after your notice, you may proceed to arbitration.

9.2 Opt-Out

You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration by contacting Himeet support via the mini-program’s Help & Support section within 30 days of your first use of the Services.

10.1 Grant of License

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, revocable license to use the Platform to list/manage Events or browse/RSVP.

10.3 Ownership

All intellectual-property rights in the Platform and Site Content are owned by Himeet or its licensors.

10.4 Professional Certifications Requirement

Organisers offering professional services or activities that legally require specific qualifications (e.g., diving instruction, fitness training, childcare supervision) must hold and maintain valid certifications or licences as mandated by local regulatory bodies. Since the Platform cannot automatically verify such credentials, Organisers must:

• Display Certifications: Prominently upload or link to scanned copies of relevant certificates, licences, or accreditation documents on the Event listing.

• Verification on Request: Produce original or certified copies of certificates upon request by Consumers or Himeet staff at any time before or during the Event.
