Where required by law or if the changes are material, We will provide You with reasonable advance notice (for example, by email, push notification, or in-app message). Your continued use of the Platform after the effective date of any revisions constitutes Your acceptance of the updated Terms or Privacy Policy. Our failure to enforce any provision shall not be deemed a waiver of that or any other provision.

If a Force Majeure Event makes it impossible or impracticable to perform, affected obligations may be suspended, delayed, or canceled without liability. Any refunds or remedies for canceled or rescheduled Events due to Force Majeure Events are determined solely by the applicable Event organizer, except to the extent otherwise required by law, as further described in Section 7 (Event Services & Attendee Terms) and Section 14 (Assumption of Risk).
