4. Community guidelines
By using the Services or attending our events, you agree to:
- Treat other members, guests, staff, and partners with respect.
- Respect the privacy and confidentiality of members and event details. Do not photograph, film, record, or publicly identify other members without their consent.

5. Confidentiality
Syndicate 11 is a private community. You agree not to publicly disclose the identities of other members, the contents of private discussions, private contact information, event locations not intended for public distribution, or the substance of member-only programming, except with the express permission of the individuals involved or as required by law.
6. Events
Attendance at Syndicate 11 events is voluntary and at your own risk. You are responsible for your own conduct, belongings, transportation, and consumption of food or alcohol.
Syndicate 11 may take photographs, video, or audio at events for private community use and, in select cases, promotional use. Please see our Privacy Policy for additional information and available choices.
Additional event-specific terms, releases, venue rules, or partner requirements may apply to particular events. Where provided, you agree to comply with them.
7. Fees, refunds and payments
Where membership fees, event fees, or other charges apply, they will be described at the point of purchase.
All fees are non-refundable except as required by law or as expressly stated at the point of purchase. Third-party payment processors may process payments, and you are responsible for the accuracy of the information you provide to them.
8. Content you submit
If you submit content to Syndicate 11, including application materials, messages, profile information, photographs, video, or other materials, you retain ownership of your content.
You grant Syndicate 11 a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, format, display, and use that content solely as reasonably necessary to operate, secure, improve, and promote the Services and to communicate with you.
Any materially broader commercial use of your name, likeness, voice, or content in a paid third-party brand campaign will be subject to the applicable written agreement, release, event terms, or other authorization.
You represent that you have all rights necessary to submit the content and grant the permissions described above. Do not submit content you do not have the right to share.

You may not copy, distribute, modify, publicly display, sell, license, or create derivative works from our content without our prior written consent, except as permitted by applicable law.
10. Third-party links and services
The Services may reference, integrate with, or link to third-party websites, platforms, products, services, venues, brands, or content.

11. Disclaimers
The Services are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Syndicate 11 disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Syndicate 11's total aggregate liability for claims arising out of or relating to the Services will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid directly to Syndicate 11 during the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) US $100.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
13. Indemnification
To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Syndicate 11, its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, contractors, and agents from claims, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, expenses, and costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising from:

Sections that by their nature should survive termination, including confidentiality, intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and governing law, will survive.
15. Copyright infringement notices
