NearArc Event & Organiser Terms

Effective date: 20 October 2026 · Last updated: 21 October 2026

These terms explain how events work on NearArc, for people who attend events and for people who organise them. NearArc is a service provided by Zach Jensz (ABN 95 243 396 633), a sole trader based in Victoria, Australia (we, us, our). These terms form part of our Terms of Use. If you organise an event on NearArc, they are part of your agreement with us. If you attend one, they tell you what to expect from organisers and from us. The Code of Conduct applies at every event, and the Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information.

At a glance

  • Three kinds of events. Events are run by NearArc, by members who register as organisers, or are imported listings we bring in from other websites. Each event page will show which kind it is (planned).
  • Imported listings are run by someone else. You RSVP on the external site. The details may be incomplete or out of date. Real organisers can ask to claim a listing, and we check each claim by hand (planned).
  • Organisers run their own events. They are responsible for accurate listings, a suitable and safe venue, any permits or insurance they need, serving alcohol lawfully, and enforcing the Code of Conduct. We ask them to describe accessibility.
  • Private homes and alcohol are allowed. Listings must say so. We don't inspect venues or supervise events, but your rights under consumer law are not affected.
  • Attendee information is for running the event. Organisers will be able to view, not export, attendee information (planned). They may contact you about the event and about future meetups of the same organiser or community. Any other marketing needs your explicit opt-in.
  • Photos. Expect that photos may be taken at events. You can ask not to be photographed, and ask the organiser or us to remove or blur a photo of you.
  • Changes and cancellations must be shared with attendees promptly.
  • Events on NearArc are free for now. Paid events may be added later. If an event uses an external ticketing site, that site handles tickets and refunds.
  • We can edit or remove listings, and remove organiser access, to keep events accurate and safe. We will usually explain why and let you ask for a review.

1. About these terms

Who these terms apply to

These terms apply to:

  • attendees: anyone who views, RSVPs to, joins a waitlist for, or attends an event listed on NearArc; and
  • organisers: members who register as organisers, members of an organiser team, and anyone who claims an imported listing or creates, edits or manages an event or community on NearArc.

Some sections are mainly for organisers. They still matter to attendees, because they explain what organisers have agreed to do.

How these terms fit with our other documents

DocumentWhat it covers
Terms of UseYour agreement with us for using NearArc. These terms add event-specific rules to it.
Code of ConductHow everyone must behave on NearArc and at every event, online or in person.
Privacy PolicyHow we collect, use and share personal information, including event information.
Consumer Health Data Privacy NoticeHow we handle accessibility and health-related dietary information for residents of Washington, Nevada and similar places.
Safety CentrePractical safety advice, and what happens when you report something.
Accessibility StatementOur accessibility goals for the platform and for events.

If these terms conflict with the Terms of Use on an event-related matter, these terms apply. Nothing in these terms reduces your rights under the Privacy Policy, or under laws that can't be excluded by contract (see section 16).

Where NearArc is available

NearArc is available in Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the United States. It is not available to residents of Québec or the United Kingdom. You must be 16 or older to use NearArc, and 18 or older to register as an organiser (see section 4).

2. Who organises events on NearArc

Every event page will show who runs the event (planned).

Kind of eventWho runs itHow you RSVP
NearArc eventWe do.On NearArc (planned)
Organiser eventA member who has registered as an organiser, or their organiser team. They are not our employees or agents.On NearArc (planned)
Imported listingThe original organiser, who may have no connection with NearArc.On the external website, under that website's terms

Events that are run on NearArc (NearArc events and organiser events, including imported listings that have been claimed) will be labelled so you can tell them apart from imported listings (planned). They will get the full set of NearArc event features, such as RSVPs, waitlists, updates and attendee messages (all planned).

We curate events. We choose which events and communities appear on NearArc, and we may review, edit, categorise, feature or hide listings to keep them accurate, relevant and safe (see section 15). Featuring or recommending an event doesn't mean we have checked or endorse it, unless we say so.

When we organise an event, we have the same responsibilities as any other organiser under these terms, and we are responsible for running it with due care and skill.

3. Imported listings

What they are

Many events on NearArc are imported listings. We bring in event information from external sources, such as public event pages, feeds and links that members submit, so you can find more of what's happening near you.

For an imported listing:

  • Someone else runs the event. The original organiser is responsible for it, not NearArc. They may not know the event appears on NearArc.
  • You RSVP or buy tickets on the external site. That site's terms, privacy policy and refund policy apply to your registration. We don't receive your registration and can't change or cancel it for you.
  • The information may be wrong. We take reasonable care when importing and curating, but details can be incomplete, out of date or inaccurate, especially if the event changes after we import it. Check the original listing before you go.
  • It's labelled (planned). Imported listings will be marked as imported. They link to their source where we have one.

Reporting a problem with an imported listing

If an imported listing is wrong, misleading, harmful or shouldn't be on NearArc, use the report option on the event page (planned) or email support@neararc.com. For safety concerns, email safety@neararc.com.

If you run the original event and don't want it listed on NearArc, email support@neararc.com from an address we can link to the event, and we will remove or update the listing.

Claiming an imported listing

If you are a genuine organiser of an imported event, you can ask to claim it. Claiming moves the event onto NearArc, so you can manage it and attendees can RSVP on NearArc (planned).

  • We verify each claim by hand (planned). We may ask for evidence that you run the event, such as access to the original event page or the organiser's email address, or confirmation from the venue or community.
  • We curate before handover (planned). We may edit the listing, ask you to update it, or decline the claim.
  • Once you claim a listing, you are its organiser and these terms apply to it in full. You must check the imported details are correct and fix anything that isn't.
  • We may reverse a claim if it turns out you weren't entitled to make it, or if there's a dispute about who runs the event. While we look into it, we may pause the listing.

Claiming a listing for an event you don't run, or impersonating an organiser, breaks the Code of Conduct and may lead to your account being suspended or closed.

4. Becoming an organiser

Registering

To organise events on NearArc, you register as an organiser. While NearArc is in alpha this happens through our community onboarding flow (claiming or creating a community), or we set organisers up by hand; a self-service organiser registration is planned. To register you must:

  • be 18 or older;
  • have a NearArc account in good standing, with a verified email address;
  • give accurate information about yourself and, if relevant, the community, business or organisation you organise for; and
  • agree to these terms.

We review registrations (planned) and may decline one, or ask for more information, for example while NearArc is in alpha or where we have safety concerns.

Organising for a community, business or organisation

If you organise on behalf of a community group, business or other organisation, you confirm you are authorised to do so. That organisation is then also bound by these terms for its events. A business or organisation that runs events on NearArc in the course of its business is treated as an organiser acting in trade (this matters for section 16).

Organiser teams

An organiser can add other members to an organiser team to help run their community and its events.

  • Each community has a lead organiser. The lead organiser decides who is on the team, and stays responsible for the community and its events under these terms.
  • Every team member must follow these terms, including the rules on attendee information in section 7.
  • Give team members only the access they need, and remove them promptly when they no longer help run the event.
  • Keep your account secure. Actions taken from your account, or by team members you added, are treated as yours unless your account was compromised without your fault. Tell us at security@neararc.com or support@neararc.com if you think an account has been compromised.

If a lead organiser leaves or becomes unreachable, we may hand an event or community to another team member, or pause it.

5. Organiser responsibilities

As an organiser, you are responsible for your events. You agree to do the following.

Accurate, complete listings

  • Describe your event honestly: what it is, who it's for, who is running it, the date, time, location (or online platform) and any costs.
  • Disclose anything an attendee would reasonably want to know before deciding to attend, including:
    • if the event is in a private home (see section 6);
    • if alcohol will be served or allowed, and whether the event is suitable for people under 18;
    • any sponsor or business connection, and whether the event promotes a product, service or job (see section 13);
    • whether photos or recordings will be taken or shared (encouraged, see section 8); and
    • any eligibility rules, such as a membership requirement.
  • Keep the listing up to date, and correct mistakes promptly.
  • Don't use a listing to mislead people, collect information under false pretences, sell anything not described, or promote something unlawful.

Venue suitability and safety

  • Choose a venue that is suitable for the event and the number of people expected, and that you have permission to use.
  • Take reasonable steps to keep attendees safe, such as knowing the exits, keeping within venue capacity, and having a way to contact the venue or emergency services.
  • Have at least one organiser present at an in-person event, as the attendees' point of contact. Share how attendees can reach you on the day.

Permits, licences and insurance

Depending on your event, the law or your venue may require permits, licences or insurance, such as a liquor licence, a permit to use a park or public space, food safety approvals, or public liability insurance. You are responsible for working out what applies to your event and getting it. We may ask for evidence and may pause a listing until you provide it. We don't check every event and don't give legal advice about what you need.

Accessibility information

We ask every organiser to describe the accessibility of their event clearly, for example step-free access, accessible toilets, seating, lighting and noise, quiet spaces, hearing loops, captions for online events, and how to get there by public transport. Our Accessibility Statement explains why this matters.

Accessibility information is strongly encouraged, not mandatory. But if you give it, it must be accurate. Don't describe a venue as accessible unless it is. If you can't meet a request for an accommodation, tell the attendee early so they can decide whether to attend. Anti-discrimination laws in each of our markets may apply to how you run your event.

Enforcing the Code of Conduct

The Code of Conduct applies at all events, including events in private homes, online events and anything that happens at an after-event gathering arranged through NearArc. As an organiser you agree to:

  • make attendees aware that the Code of Conduct applies, for example by linking to it on your event page;
  • act on breaches you see or are told about, which can include asking someone to stop, asking them to leave, or not admitting them to future events;
  • not discriminate against, harass or exclude people in breach of the Code of Conduct or the law; and
  • not retaliate against anyone who reports a concern.

Alcohol

If alcohol is served, sold or allowed at your event, you must manage it responsibly and lawfully:

  • follow the liquor laws where the event is held. In many places, selling alcohol, or including it in a ticket price, needs a licence, and a venue may have its own rules;
  • don't supply alcohol to anyone under the legal drinking age (18 in Australia and New Zealand, 19 in most of Canada and 18 in Alberta and Manitoba, and 21 in the United States). NearArc members can be 16 or 17;
  • don't serve anyone who is intoxicated, and don't pressure anyone to drink;
  • provide non-alcoholic drinks, and food where practical; and
  • don't make alcohol the main purpose of an event marketed as a professional or networking event, without saying so clearly.

Incidents

If something goes wrong at your event:

  • In an emergency, call emergency services first: 000 in Australia, 111 in New Zealand, 911 in Canada and the United States.
  • Respond to concerns raised with you promptly and fairly, and take reasonable steps to keep attendees safe.
  • Report serious incidents to us at safety@neararc.com as soon as practicable. Serious incidents include violence or threats, sexual harassment or assault, injuries needing medical treatment, drink spiking, conduct involving anyone under 18, and anything reported to police.
  • Cooperate with our review of the incident, and keep any relevant records.

You can also report a member's behaviour using the report option in NearArc. The Safety Centre explains what happens next.

Following the law

Run your events in line with the laws that apply to you and to the event, including consumer, privacy, anti-spam, anti-discrimination, health and safety, liquor and tax laws.

Your listing content

You keep ownership of the content you add to an event or community page, such as text, logos and images. You give us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, display, adapt (for example, resize or translate), promote and keep that content on NearArc and in our communications about NearArc, for as long as the event or community record exists. You confirm you have the rights to the content you add. Past event records may stay on NearArc after the event, as described in the Privacy Policy, section 6.

6. Private homes, alcohol and what NearArc does and doesn't do

Events on NearArc can be held in private homes, and alcohol can be served. We allow these because many good community events happen this way. This section explains how responsibility is shared.

What organisers must do

An organiser holding an event in a private home must:

  • say clearly on the listing that it is in a private home;
  • give a clear organiser name, purpose and enough location detail for attendees to decide whether to attend (the full address can be shared only with confirmed attendees);
  • make sure the home is suitable for the number of guests, and have the permission of anyone they share it with; and
  • follow every other responsibility in section 5.

What we do and don't do

  • We don't inspect venues, supervise events or check every listing. For organiser events and imported listings, we are not the organiser, host or venue, and we are not responsible for how the event is run, what happens there, the condition of the venue, or the conduct of people who attend.
  • We do act on reports. If we learn of a safety problem, we may contact the organiser, change or remove the listing, or remove an organiser (see section 15).
  • The Code of Conduct and Terms of Use apply in full at events in private homes and at events where alcohol is served.

Your rights are not affected

This section doesn't exclude or limit:

  • any rights you have under the Australian Consumer Law, the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act or Fair Trading Act, or consumer laws in Canada and the United States, that can't be excluded by contract;
  • our responsibility for our own negligence, our own breach of these terms, or our own misleading conduct; or
  • our responsibility for events that we organise ourselves.

The Safety Centre has practical advice for attendees going to events in private homes or with alcohol.

7. Attendee information

What attendees share, and what organisers see

When you RSVP to an event on NearArc (planned), we will show you what information the organiser will see before you confirm. This usually includes your name, profile details, contact details, your RSVP and attendance status and any answers you give to the organiser's questions. If you choose to share accessibility needs or dietary requirements, the organiser and their team also see those (see below). The Privacy Policy, section 4, explains this in full.

View only (planned)

Organisers will be able to view attendee information on NearArc, and will not be able to export it (planned). If we add export later, it will be limited, we will update these terms and the Privacy Policy first, and organisers who export information will be responsible for keeping it secure and deleting it when no longer needed, where export is available.

Organisers must not get around this by copying, scraping, photographing or re-entering attendee information into other systems. The exception is what's reasonably needed to run a specific event, such as a printed check-in list or name badges, which must be kept secure and destroyed after the event.

How organisers may use attendee information

Organisers and their teams may use attendee information only to:

  1. run the event: for example confirmations, reminders, changes, check-in, follow-up, lost property, safety and responding to incidents; and
  2. tell attendees about future meetups of the same organiser or community: for example the next event in a series, or another event run by the same community.

Messages about future meetups must be sent through NearArc's tools where available (planned), must clearly identify the organiser or community, and must let attendees opt out easily. Organisers must respect opt-outs. Attendees can opt out of an organiser's future-meetup messages at any time, without affecting messages about events they have already RSVP'd to.

Any other use needs the attendee's explicit opt-in. This includes marketing products or services, recruiting, newsletters unrelated to the community's events, and sharing information with sponsors or anyone else. The opt-in must be specific, separate from the RSVP, and not a condition of attending. Organisers must not sell, rent or give attendee information to anyone else.

Organisers are also responsible for following anti-spam and privacy laws that apply to them, such as the Spam Act 2003 (Australia), the Unsolicited Electronic Messages Act 2007 (New Zealand) and Canada's anti-spam legislation (CASL).

Accessibility and dietary information

Accessibility needs and dietary requirements can reveal health information or religious beliefs. We collect them only with the attendee's consent, as described in the Privacy Policy and the Consumer Health Data Privacy Notice. Organisers and their teams must:

  • use this information only to deliver the accommodations it was given for, such as choosing a venue, arranging seating or ordering suitable food;
  • share it with venues and caterers only where necessary to deliver those accommodations, and identify the attendee only where necessary (often a count is enough);
  • never use it for marketing, to judge or exclude anyone, or for any other purpose; and
  • delete any copies (such as a catering order) once the event is over and they're no longer needed.

Problems with attendee information

If an organiser learns that attendee information has been misused, lost or accessed without permission, they must tell us promptly at support@neararc.com (or security@neararc.com for security issues), so we can meet our obligations under privacy law.

Attendees can ask us about their information, or ask us to correct or delete it, as set out in the Privacy Policy.

8. Photography and recordings

Events listed on NearArc are public events. Photos and videos are often taken at them, and organisers may share photos on NearArc event pages (a planned feature) or elsewhere. Attendees should expect that they may be photographed at an event. That doesn't mean you have no say.

  • Organisers are encouraged to tell attendees about photography on the listing and at the event, for example by saying who will take photos and where they'll be shared, and by offering a way to opt out, such as a coloured lanyard or a photo-free area.
  • You can ask not to be photographed. Tell the person taking photos, or the organiser. Photographing or recording someone who has asked not to be photographed breaks the Code of Conduct.
  • You can ask for a photo to be removed or blurred. Ask the organiser, or email support@neararc.com (or safety@neararc.com if there is a safety concern). We will remove or blur a photo of you on NearArc on request, unless there is a good reason not to, such as a crowd shot where you can't reasonably be identified. We will tell you if we decline.
  • Organisers must not take or share images in toilets, change rooms or other private places, share images of anyone in a way that is demeaning, sexualised or harassing, or take photos of people under 18 for publication without care.
  • Recording talks or sessions: tell attendees and speakers beforehand, and get speakers' agreement before recording or publishing their talk.

Privacy and surveillance laws differ between places, and some make certain recordings unlawful, for example recording private conversations without consent. Organisers and attendees are responsible for following them. Photos shared on NearArc are handled under the Privacy Policy.

9. Online events

Online events follow the same rules as in-person events, including the Code of Conduct. Organisers of online events should:

  • say which platform the event uses, and whether attendees need an account or software for it;
  • share joining links only with registered attendees where the event is meant to be limited, to reduce disruption;
  • say whether the event will be recorded, and whether captions or transcripts will be available;
  • know how to remove or mute disruptive participants on the platform; and
  • remember that the platform's own terms and privacy policy apply to attendees who use it.

10. RSVPs, waitlists, capacity and no-shows

On-NearArc RSVPs, waitlists, capacity limits and attendance tracking are planned and not yet available. Until then, RSVPs happen on the event's external site. The rules below will apply when these features launch.

  • RSVPs. An RSVP tells the organiser you plan to attend. For free events it isn't a contract to attend, but please update your RSVP if your plans change, so someone else can have your place.
  • Capacity. Organisers set the capacity and must not exceed the venue's safe or legal limit.
  • Waitlists. If an event is full, you may be able to join a waitlist. When a place opens up, we offer it to people on the waitlist in the order the organiser sets (usually first come, first served), and may ask you to confirm within a set time. A waitlist place isn't a guarantee you'll get in.
  • Approval. Some organisers approve each RSVP. If so, the listing will say so. Organisers must not refuse attendees for reasons that breach the Code of Conduct or anti-discrimination law.
  • No-shows. Organisers may see attendance history for their own events, and may use it to manage future RSVPs, for example by limiting RSVPs from people who repeatedly don't attend. They must apply this fairly and consistently. We may also use attendance information to estimate turnout and improve recommendations, as described in the Privacy Policy.
  • Removing an attendee. An organiser may cancel an RSVP or refuse entry for a breach of the Code of Conduct, a safety concern, or another reasonable reason they have told attendees about.

11. Changes and cancellations

Organisers

If you change or cancel an event:

  • tell attendees promptly, using NearArc's tools so everyone who RSVP'd is notified (planned), and update the listing;
  • give as much notice as you reasonably can, and say why if you can;
  • for an important change (such as date, time, venue, online platform, format, main speaker, cost, or whether alcohol is served or the event is in a private home), make it clear what has changed, so attendees can decide whether to still attend; and

If an organiser repeatedly cancels late or makes misleading changes, we may limit their organiser access.

Attendees

You can cancel your RSVP at any time from the event page (planned). Please do it as early as you can. If you bought a ticket on an external site, its refund policy and your consumer law rights apply.

When we change or cancel a NearArc event

We will tell attendees promptly, using NearArc and the contact details on your account.

12. Paid events (may be added later)

NearArc events are free to RSVP to on NearArc (planned). We may add paid events and ticketing in future. If we do, we will publish the rules for prices, fees, refunds and payments in these terms, and give organisers notice, before the feature is switched on. Those rules will always be subject to the Australian Consumer Law and the other consumer laws that apply to you.

Until then, if an event links to an external ticketing website, that website's terms apply to the ticket purchase, and the organiser (or the external site) is responsible for the sale and any refunds.

13. Sponsors, venues and caterers

  • Disclose sponsors. If an event is sponsored, or the organiser is promoting their own or someone else's business, products or jobs, the listing must say so.
  • Sponsors don't get attendee information. Organisers may give sponsors aggregate figures that don't identify anyone, such as attendance numbers. Organisers must not give sponsors attendee names, contact details or other personal information unless each attendee has explicitly opted in to that (section 7).
  • Venues and caterers may receive what they need to deliver the event, such as numbers, and accessibility or dietary requirements, identified only where necessary. A sponsor that also provides the venue or catering receives information only in that role, and only for that purpose. This matches the Privacy Policy, section 4, and the Consumer Health Data Privacy Notice.
  • Your arrangements are your own. Agreements between organisers and their sponsors, venues, caterers and speakers are between them. We aren't a party to them unless we have signed them.
  • Sponsored and promotional content must follow the Code of Conduct and the law, including rules on advertising and misleading claims.

14. Communities

Many organisers run a community on NearArc as well as events. These terms apply to communities in the same way: the lead organiser is responsible for the community, can add an organiser team, and must use member information only to run the community and its events, and to tell members about the community's future meetups. Any other use needs explicit opt-in. Past community and event records may stay on NearArc as part of its history, as described in the Privacy Policy, section 6.

15. Our rights to edit, delist and remove organisers

To keep events on NearArc accurate, safe and lawful, we may:

  • edit a listing, for example to fix factual errors, improve formatting or accessibility, or remove content that breaks our rules (adding labels such as "imported", "private home" or "sponsored" is planned);
  • pause, hide or delist an event or community, including an imported listing, at any time;
  • ask for information or evidence, such as proof of a permit, a licence, or that you run an event you've claimed;
  • limit organiser features, for example limiting RSVPs or messaging;
  • reverse a claim, reassign an event or community, or remove someone from an organiser team; and
  • remove a member's organiser status, or suspend or close their account under the Terms of Use.

We may do this if an organiser breaks these terms, the Terms of Use or the Code of Conduct, if we receive credible safety reports, if the law requires it, if a listing is inaccurate or harmful, or if we reasonably need to protect attendees, other members or NearArc.

How we'll do it. Our response will be proportionate to the issue. Except where it would be unsafe, unlawful or impractical (for example, where an event is about to start, or there's a serious safety risk), we will tell the organiser what we are doing and why, and give them a chance to fix the problem or respond first. If you think we got it wrong, reply to our message or email support@neararc.com, and a person will review the decision. If we delist a paid event, section 12 applies to refunds.

Ending your organiser role yourself. You can stop being an organiser at any time by emailing support@neararc.com (or from your settings, once available). You must first cancel or hand over any upcoming events. Sections 7 and 16 continue to apply after you stop.

16. Responsibility, liability and indemnity

Consumer guarantees can't be excluded

Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts or modifies any right or remedy, or any guarantee, warranty or other term or condition, that is implied or given by law and can't lawfully be excluded or limited. This includes the consumer guarantees in the Australian Consumer Law, the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 and Fair Trading Act 1986, and consumer protection laws in Canada and the United States. Where we're allowed to limit our liability for a breach of a consumer guarantee, our liability is limited as set out in the Terms of Use.

If you are a New Zealand organiser acting in trade, you agree that the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 doesn't apply to services we provide to you for business purposes, to the extent allowed by section 43 of that Act.

What we are responsible for

We are responsible for:

  • providing NearArc's event features with due care and skill;
  • events we organise ourselves;
  • our own negligence, our own breach of these terms or the law, and our own misleading or deceptive conduct; and
  • handling personal information as set out in the Privacy Policy.

What we're not responsible for

For organiser events and imported listings, the organiser runs the event, not us. To the extent the law allows, we are not responsible for:

  • the accuracy of information supplied by organisers or imported from external sources, beyond taking reasonable care in curating it;
  • how an organiser plans or runs an event, the venue, food or drink served, or whether the event goes ahead;
  • the conduct of organisers, attendees or other people at an event; or
  • loss caused by an organiser's breach of these terms or the law.

This doesn't limit our responsibility where we contributed to the loss, and our share of responsibility will be reduced only to the extent someone else caused it.

Organisers' responsibility

Organisers are responsible for their events, and for their own and their team's acts and omissions, under these terms and the law.

Organisers acting in trade. If you organise events as a business or organisation, or in the course of a business, you agree to compensate us for any loss, damage or reasonable cost (including reasonable legal costs) we incur from a third-party claim, to the extent it arises from your breach of these terms, your breach of the law, or your event. This doesn't apply to the extent the loss was caused or contributed to by us, our negligence or our breach of these terms. We will tell you promptly about any claim, and let you take part in responding to it.

Individual organisers. If you organise events as an individual and not in the course of a business (for example, as a volunteer for a community group), we won't ask you to indemnify us. You're still responsible for your own conduct under the law.

Disputes between attendees and organisers

If you have a problem with an organiser event, raise it with the organiser first. If that doesn't work, email support@neararc.com and we will try to help, although we may not be able to resolve every dispute. For safety concerns, email safety@neararc.com. You can also contact your local consumer protection agency, such as the ACCC or your state or territory fair trading agency in Australia, or the Commerce Commission or Disputes Tribunal in New Zealand.

Governing law, and your rights to bring claims in your local courts, are set out in the Terms of Use.

17. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as NearArc's event features change, for example if paid events are added or when event photos launch. We will publish the current version on neararc.com with its effective date.

If we make a material change, we will give organisers reasonable notice before it takes effect, by email or a notice in NearArc, usually at least 30 days. If you don't agree with a change, you can stop being an organiser before it takes effect (section 15). Changes won't apply to paid tickets already sold, or to refund policies already shown to buyers, unless the change is required by law or is better for attendees.
