The Terms & Conditions for Events are below. For our full Terms & Conditions click here. 

Description

The Village Project provides a Digital Platform to facilitate Events, mainly hosted by Members who have been reviewed and approved by our Admin Team. The Village Project also may choose to host some Events as well. Events refers to the area on our Digital Platform that facilitates Members to be able to hold Events and may also be referred to as an ’Event’, the ‘Events Calendar’ or ‘Calendar’. The Events Calendar is about collaboration, connection and creating opportunities for the entire community to learn and grow together. We ask that you keep this in mind when engaging with other Members.

When you host or attend an Event you are agreeing to be respectful and appreciative of other Members and the skills, knowledge or interests that they are sharing through an Event. In all transactions and communications Members are expected to act with fairness, friendliness and mutual respect. Under no circumstances are Members to ask or offer money to other Members in relation to hosting or attending an Event. Members may charge a fee to non-members, if the Event is open to the public, subject to approval by The Village Project.
