These Checked Mates Terms of Service are entered into by and between You (“you” or “your”) and CM Events LLC (“Company,” “we,” or “us”). The following terms and conditions, together with any documents they expressly incorporate by reference (collectively, “Terms”), govern your access to and use of the Checked Mates platform, including (a) the website checked-mates.com and all its subdomains (“Website”), (b) any mobile application(s) provided by the Company, (c) the purchase and use of Checked Mates event tickets, and (d) participation in Checked Mates events (collectively, (a) – (d) are the “Services”).
The Services are offered and available to persons who meet all the Eligibility Requirements:
Please read these Terms carefully before engaging with Checked Mates. By accessing or using the Services, you accept and agree to be bound and abide by these Terms, including our Privacy Policy, found at link and expressly incorporated herein. Additionally, you certify that you are at of legal age to form a binding contract with the Company, and you meet all of the Eligibility Requirements. If you do not or cannot agree to the Terms or meet the Eligibility Requirements, you must not use the Services.
We may revise and/or update these Terms from time to time in our sole discretion. While we will endeavor to provide notice of material changes to these Terms via email, all changes are effective immediately when we post them, and apply to all access to and use of the Services thereafter. Your continued use of the Services following the posting of revised Terms means that you accept and agree to the changes.
Event Tickets and Refund Policy. When available, tickets may be purchased through the Checked Mates app. One ticket per member per event. We reserve the right to issue complimentary tickets at our discretion (such as for featured friends).
All ticket sales are final. Because a portion of net proceeds from every event is donated to charity, your purchase has a giving component from the moment it is made. Tickets are non-refundable under any circumstances, including non-attendance, and cannot be transferred or resold. If you can’t make it to an event, your contribution still supports the designated charity.
In the unlikely situation where we need to cancel an event, we will endeavor to offer ticketholders a credit toward a future event.
The Pitching Mechanism. The Services may allow you to propose a new participant, by providing some information about the candidate and answers to some introductory questions about them (a “Pitch”). By submitting a Pitch, you confirm that you have the explicit consent of the person you are Pitching, that all information you supply is truthful, and that you understand that we may review and reject any pitch. By providing any Pitch information to us, you grant Company and its licensees, successors, and assigns the right to reproduce, modify, perform, display, distribute, and otherwise use any such material in association with the Services. Pitch answers are not shared with other users within the app or on the Website; instead, these are shared verbally at events only.
When participating in the Services (including attending events), you are required to comply with all applicable laws, treat guests and staff with respect, obtain consent before approaching anyone, and refrain from recording or posting about other guests without their consent. Harassment, discrimination, or aggressive behavior of any kind will result in immediate removal, account termination, and where applicable, referral to law enforcement.
