Safety Guidelines

Up4it helps people coordinate, but it does not supervise Member interactions or guarantee that a Member or Moment is safe. These guidelines reduce risk; they cannot eliminate it.

1. Before Meeting

• Check the audience. Confirm that the selected friends, Circles, or other audience match the sensitivity of the location and activity.
• Review the details. Check the Organizer, purpose, time, place, required equipment, accessibility, costs arranged outside Up4it, and cancellation terms.
• Ask questions. If a material safety point is unclear, ask before joining. Do not rely on an account, profile, or Content as proof of identity, qualifications, or background.
• Protect your location. Avoid publishing a home address or another sensitive precise location to a broader audience than necessary. Share final details only with confirmed Participants where practical.
• Plan a safer first meeting. Meet in a public place, arrange independent transport, tell a trusted person where you are going, and keep access to your phone.
• Assess suitability. Consider your health, skill, equipment, weather, transport, and any lawful age or eligibility requirement.

Do not attend if you feel pressured or unsafe. Leaving or declining does not violate Up4it rules.

2. Organizer Responsibilities

• Describe the activity and material risks accurately.
• Choose a lawful and reasonably safe location and audience.
• State necessary skills, equipment, supervision, and accessibility conditions.
• Obtain required permissions, licences, insurance, and emergency arrangements.
• Avoid collecting unnecessary health or identity information. Follow the Participant Privacy Standards.
• Make clear that any external provider or off-platform payment is not provided or protected by Up4it.
• Cancel or change the Moment when conditions make it unsafe, and notify Participants promptly.

Organizers remain responsible for duties imposed by law, including any heightened duty when an activity involves minors, vulnerable people, employees, volunteers, food, transport, alcohol, water, heights, animals, or hazardous equipment.

3. During a Moment

• Respect boundaries, consent, the Content and Conduct Policy, and the Non-discrimination Policy.
• Do not pressure anyone to consume alcohol or drugs, disclose private information, be photographed, or take part in an activity.
• Stop or seek qualified help if conditions become unsafe.
• In an emergency, contact local emergency services first. Up4it cannot dispatch help.

4. Minors

People under 13 may not create or use an independent account. Members aged 13 to 17 are Young Members and remain children for safeguarding purposes.

Young Members should involve a parent, guardian, or other trusted adult before meeting someone they do not already know offline. They should meet in a public place, use independent transport, and avoid sharing a home address, school, regular route, or live location more broadly than necessary. An adult must not pressure a Young Member to move a conversation off-platform, keep contact secret, meet alone, or share intimate material.

Organizers must obtain any legally required guardian permission and provide appropriate adult supervision. Adults must never use Up4it to groom, sexually contact, or exploit a minor. See the Young Members Policy and Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation Policy.

5. Report a Concern

Use an in-product report control where available or follow the Reporting and Appeals Policy. For non-urgent help, email support@the-corner.io.

Preserve only information that can be collected safely and lawfully. Do not confront a dangerous person or redistribute illegal material to make a report.

6. Cancellations

If conditions change, prioritize safety and communicate promptly. The Moment Cancellation Policy explains expectations. Up4it does not currently process payments or refunds.
