1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using Quad ("the Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not use the Service.

These Terms form a binding agreement between you and Atlas Studios LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company ("we," "us," "our").

These Terms apply to all users of the Service, including browsers, participants, Hosts, sponsors, or contributors of content.

2. Description of Service

Quad is a platform that enables university students to discover, join, and attend "blind events," and enables approved Hosts—including students, small businesses, organizations, and brands—to create, manage, or promote events.

Quad does not organize or supervise events. Quad provides a digital platform only.

3. Eligibility and Accounts

To use the Service, you must:

• Be at least 18 years old
• Be a current student with a valid .edu email address
• Provide accurate and complete registration information
• Maintain the security of your account credentials
• Accept responsibility for all activity under your account

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or engage in unsafe, fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful activity.

4. User Content and Host Responsibilities

4.1 User Content

Users are solely responsible for any content they create, upload, post, or share ("User Content"). By posting User Content, you represent and warrant that:

• You have all rights necessary to share the content
• Your content does not violate any law or third-party rights
• Your content is not harmful, unsafe, defamatory, obscene, hateful, discriminatory, or otherwise objectionable

We may remove content at our discretion, but we are not obligated to monitor content.

4.2 Event Hosting Responsibility

Hosts—including students, small businesses, brands, organizations, or other approved entities—are solely responsible for any events they create, promote, sponsor, or host through the Service. This responsibility includes:

• Compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, venue rules, and (if applicable) university policies
• Event safety, staffing, conduct, and participant well-being
• Obtaining required permits, licenses, permissions, or insurance
• Managing event logistics, including time, location, capacity, and age requirements
• Ensuring any co-branded or sponsored events comply with relevant rules
• Any harm, injury, loss, or damage occurring at or related to the event

Quad does not supervise events and assumes no responsibility for Host conduct.

4.3 Platform as Intermediary

Quad is a neutral platform that facilitates the posting and discovery of events. Quad does not:

• Organize, supervise, manage, or control events
• Endorse or guarantee any Host, brand, event, or participant
• Verify event venues, event details, or attendee information
• Control interactions or disputes between users
• Assume responsibility for any injury, harm, safety issue, or loss

Any contact, interaction, or relationship between users occurs solely at their own risk.

5. Sponsored Events and Brand Partnerships

Some events may display branding, promotional material, or sponsorship ("Sponsored Events"). Sponsorship does not mean that Quad or the sponsor organizes, supervises, or controls the event.

Hosts are fully responsible for:

• Sponsored event compliance
• All promotional claims made by the Host
• Ensuring events follow legal and university rules

Sponsors are not responsible for Host conduct, participant conduct, or event outcomes.

Quad does not guarantee, endorse, or supervise any Sponsored Event.

6. Assumption of Risk

By attending any event, you acknowledge and voluntarily assume all risks associated with in-person gatherings, including risk of injury, illness, property damage, or other harm.

Quad does not verify event venues, safety conditions, Hosts, or other participants. You attend events at your own risk.

7. Prohibited Activities

You agree not to:

• Use the Service for unlawful purposes
• Host or promote events involving illegal activity, harassment, dangerous conduct, or discrimination
• Create events that violate university housing or conduct policies
• Impersonate others or misrepresent your identity
• Upload harmful or malicious code
• Attempt to scrape, attack, disrupt, or overload the Service
• Use automated systems (bots, scrapers) without permission
• Circumvent safety or moderation systems

Violation may result in account suspension or termination.

8. Moderation Rights

We may, but are not obligated to, monitor activity or content. We may remove content or events, or suspend users, at our discretion.

Moderation does not create any liability or duty of care. Users and Hosts remain solely responsible for their conduct and content.

9. Disclaimers and Limitations of Liability

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind.

We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure.
