Terms of Service

These terms are between you and TheVibeNestSocial ("VibeNest", "we", "us"), based in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. They apply to https://www.vibenestsocial.com, to our member area, and to every event we host.

By booking an event, creating an account, or attending, you accept these terms, our Privacy Policy, our Code of Conduct and our Cancellation & Refunds. If you don't accept them, please don't book.

You must be at least 18 years old to book or attend unaccompanied. We may ask for photo ID at the door, and we may refuse entry if we can't reasonably satisfy ourselves of your age.

A ticket admits the number of people stated on it and no more. Tickets are personal to you; you may transfer one to a named friend by telling us in advance, but tickets may not be resold at a profit or advertised publicly.

A booking is confirmed only once payment succeeds and you receive a confirmation with a ticket code. Until then, your spot isn't held.

Prices are shown in Indian Rupees and include applicable taxes unless stated otherwise. Payments are processed by our payment partner; we don't store your card details.

Occasionally an obvious pricing or availability error slips through. If that happens we'll tell you before taking payment, or refund you in full if it's already been taken — we won't quietly hold you to a mistake.

You can ask to cancel your booking from your account at any time — that's a request, not an instant cancellation. Your seat stays held and counted against capacity, exactly as booked, until we review and decide on it; asking does not, by itself, cancel your ticket or entitle you to a refund.

Whether an approved cancellation carries a refund depends on how much notice you gave us, measured from the moment you asked, not from whenever we get to reviewing it: ask more than 12 hours before the event and an approved cancellation is refunded in full; ask inside 12 hours and an approved cancellation carries no refund, because the seat is already committed on our side by then.

Members on a membership plan that includes anytime cancellation (Inner Circle) get a full refund for a cancellation requested any time before the event starts, and an Event Pass used on that booking is returned.

If you don't turn up, and haven't had a cancellation approved before the event starts, the ticket isn't refundable. Full detail, including how long an approved refund takes to come back, is in our Cancellation & Refunds.

A paid membership bills monthly or yearly, as you choose at sign-up, automatically, until you cancel — you'll see the plan and price before you subscribe, and every charge after that follows the same amount unless you're told otherwise in advance.

Yearly plans are paid for the whole year up front; we email you a week before a yearly plan renews.

A festive offer lowers the membership price for the months (or first year) it states, paid as one up-front payment. Renewal at the normal price only starts if you then approve AutoPay; if you don't, your membership simply ends when the period you paid for does. We show both prices before you pay.

Event Passes included in a plan are free entry for your own seat only, granted each month, valid until the next month's passes are granted (they don't carry over), and can't be transferred or exchanged for money. A pass used on a booking stays used if you don't attend; if we cancel the event, it's returned.

You can cancel from your account at any time. Cancelling stops future billing but does not refund the period already paid for: your plan's perks stay active at the end of the current billing period, and access ends there. There's no prorated refund for cancelling partway through a paid period.

If we change a plan's price, that change applies to new subscribers and to you only once you resubscribe or renew onto the new terms — it never retroactively changes what you're already being charged.

A plan's event discount is personal: it applies to the member's own seat only, and only when the member is the one booking and attending. Every other seat in the same booking — including the second seat of a Duo ticket — is charged in full. Membership never discounts a guest's or companion's ticket.

We may retire a plan (stop it accepting new subscribers) at any time; if we ever need to end an active membership outright, we'll tell you why and you won't be charged again after that point.

Community events move. Timings, venues, hosts, and the run of show can change, and we'll tell you as early as we can.

If we cancel an event outright, or move it so significantly that it's effectively a different plan, you get a full refund or a transfer to another date — your choice. That's the extent of what we owe you for a cancelled event: we're not liable for your travel, accommodation, or time.

Attending means agreeing to our Code of Conduct. It isn't decoration — it's the reason the room works.

We may refuse entry, remove you from an event, cancel your bookings, or close your account if you breach the Code of Conduct, harass or endanger anyone, misrepresent who you are, treat the community as a lead list, or behave in a way that damages the safety or spirit of a room.

Where we remove someone for a serious breach, we do not refund the ticket. We know how that reads; the alternative is charging the rest of the room for one person's behaviour.

Booking an event gives you access to that event's group chat. After the event, access continues for the people who attended.

You're identified there by a display name only. We don't show your email address or phone number to anyone in a group.

Our team is a member of every group and can read everything posted in it. We may remove any message, stop you posting, take you out of a group, or close a group — at our discretion, and without notice where someone's safety is involved.

You're responsible for what you post. Don't post anything unlawful, abusive or harassing, or anything you don't have the right to share. Don't share other attendees' personal details, and don't republish what's said in a group somewhere else.

Groups stop accepting messages about a week after the event and are hidden about a month after. We may keep the contents longer where we need them to deal with a report or to meet a legal obligation.

We may take you out of a group chat, close your account, or refuse to let you book, if we reasonably believe you've breached these terms or the Code of Conduct.

Being taken out of a group chat doesn't affect a booking you've already paid for.

Being barred is different, and it is serious. You won't be able to sign in or book. Any bookings you're holding are cancelled, and the money paid for them is not refunded — this is a consequence of a serious breach, not a cancellation, and our usual refund terms don't apply to it.

You won't be admitted to an event even if you obtain a ticket some other way — through a friend's booking, another email address, or a resale. If you arrive at a venue you'll be refused entry, and no refund is due for a ticket bought that way.

Being barred is decided by a person, never automatically and never by a count of reports, and we record who decided it and why. It isn't necessarily permanent. If you think we've got it wrong, email hello@vibenestsocial.com and a person will read it and reply.

Our events are physical, in real places, and some involve activity — sport, turf games, running, travel, walking routes, and venues we don't own or control. You take part voluntarily and at your own risk.

You're responsible for judging whether an activity suits your health and fitness, and for telling a host about anything relevant on the day. If you're unwell or injured, please sit it out.

You are responsible for your own belongings. Venues are shared, public spaces and we can't take responsibility for anything lost, damaged, or stolen.

Where alcohol is served, it's served by the venue under the venue's licence and the law that applies there. Drink responsibly; we may refuse entry or ask you to leave if you're intoxicated. Illegal drugs and weapons of any kind are never allowed at an event, full stop.

You are responsible for your own travel to and from an event, including getting home safely.

In a genuine medical emergency, a host will call for help and get you to care — but the cost of any ambulance, hospital, or medical treatment is yours, not ours.

We don't run background checks on the people who book — you're meeting strangers, same as at any real-world social event, and we can't vouch for anyone's character or history.

If another attendee harasses you, harms you, steals from or damages something of yours, or otherwise mistreats you, that is their doing, not ours — we aren't liable for what one attendee does to another. What we will do is act on our side: remove them, ban them, and support you in reporting it to the police, per our Code of Conduct's reporting and enforcement process.

The reverse is just as true. If you harm another person, damage the venue or someone's property, or cause us or anyone else a loss, cost, fine, or claim, that responsibility is yours — not ours — and we can seek that cost back from you. That includes the venue's repair bill, a fine we're charged because of something you did, or the cost of defending a claim your conduct caused.

None of this affects your right to report a crime to the police, or theirs to report one against you — we cooperate with the police either way.

We photograph and film our events, and we use those images to show what the community is actually like — on this site, in our gallery, on our social channels, and in material about VibeNest.

By attending, you agree that we may capture and use images and footage that include you for those purposes, without payment. We don't sell your image to third parties for their own advertising.

You can opt out, and it's easy: tell a host at the event, or email us. We'll keep you out of the frame where we can, and take down anything already published that you ask us to.

We may close your account if you're barred (see "Removal, and being barred" above). A closed account can't sign in or book.

Keep your sign-in details to yourself; you're responsible for what happens under your account. Tell us straight away if you think someone else has access.

You can close your account whenever you like by emailing us. Some records — bookings, payments, consent, and anything we're required to keep — survive closure, because we need them for tax, dispute and safety reasons.

If you send us a review, testimonial, photo, or message, you keep ownership of it. You give us permission to use it to promote VibeNest, with your first name and city, unless you tell us otherwise.

Don't send us anything you don't have the right to share, or anything unlawful, hateful, or that exposes someone else's private information.

We'll host with care and honour our commitments. But to be plain about the limits: except where the law doesn't allow us to limit it — including death or personal injury caused by our negligence, and fraud — our total liability to you for anything connected with an event is capped at what you paid for that event.

We're not liable for indirect or consequential losses: missed connections, lost earnings, disappointment, or the cost of getting there.

Nothing in these terms takes away rights you have under Indian consumer law that can't be signed away.

The VibeNest name, logo, photography, and the content of this site belong to us. Please don't copy, resell, or pass them off as your own, and don't scrape the site or use it to build a competing list.

Talk to us first — most things are fixable in a message. Write to hello@vibenestsocial.com and we'll acknowledge within 2 working days and aim to resolve within 15 days.

These terms are governed by the laws of India, and the courts at Ahmedabad, Gujarat have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute.

We update these terms as the community grows. The date at the top is the current version, and the version you agreed to when you booked is the one recorded against your booking.

If we make a change that materially affects you, we'll say so — by email or in the member area — rather than quietly editing the page.
