Disclaimer Notice
Speed Mingle aims to create a secure and inviting social environment where individuals can engage in meaningful conversations, network, and mingle at organized events held in comfortable settings. It’s important to note that Speed Mingle retains the discretion to approve or decline the participation of individuals or venues based on specific criteria to maintain the safety and integrity of the community.
Indemnification by Member and Participant
Participants in Speed Mingle events will engage through a web-based app, where they have the discretion to share information with others at their convenience. Participation in these events is solely at the participant’s own risk, and Speed Mingle does not disclose participant information to any individual, company, or organization. Speed Mingle will not be held responsible for any loss or injury, direct or indirect, sustained by any person or persons. In consideration of the privilege to attend events hosted and sponsored by Speed Mingle, participants waive all claims that they or their heirs may have against Speed Mingle, including owners, managers, partners, venues, subsidiaries, affiliates, and employees. Additionally, Speed Mingle reserves the right to decline the scheduling of any individual for any future engagement or events hosted by or affiliated with Speed Mingle for any reason.
Speed Mingle events are held in public places, and background checks are not required for participants. Sensitive information should only be shared through our secure web-based app when you feel comfortable with the other person. Speed Mingle assumes no liability and cannot be held responsible for any outcomes arising from subsequent meetings between participants. By attending a Speed Mingle event or function, participants agree to hold Speed Mingle, HRBUniversal, venues, and its affiliates harmless from any claims or liabilities.
Participants understand that there are no refunds for non-attendance but may request a credit towards a future event hosted directly by Speed Mingle. This credit is valid for up to one year from the original event date. The credit is non-transferable and can only be used by the participant who originally registered. All requests must be submitted in writing via email 72 business hours before the event.
If an event is canceled and not rescheduled within 30 days in the local area, a refund will be issued to all participants who registered and made payment for the event. Participants will be notified via email at least 72 business hours in advance.
Speed Mingle does not guarantee the type of individuals who participate in any of its events, programs, or functions.
Event Rescheduling By Event Coordinator(s)
If Speed Mingle event coordinators reschedule or relocate an event for any reason, individuals who have already paid to attend that event will have the option to either reschedule their attendance to the new event date or accept an invitation from the event coordination team to attend a future event as compensation. When rescheduling events due to unforeseen circumstances such as weather or government closures, Speed Mingle will send out email notifications within 72 business hours of the event. However, in these instances, the notice may be less than 72 business hours due to factors beyond Speed Mingle’s control.
Communication Disclosure
Speed Mingle reserves the right to make minor alterations to events without prior notification to both paid and unpaid participants. These minor changes may involve modifications to the event description, combining participants into a single event based on factors such as age, interests, dating, friendship, or business.
For major event changes, including changes in location/venue, time, rescheduling, and cancellation, Speed Mingle will notify all paid and unpaid participants via email. These notifications may be provided with less than 24 business hours’ notice.
To ensure timely receipt of notifications, all participants should whitelist all email communications from Speed Mingle. Speed Mingle cannot be held responsible for any undelivered emails or emails marked as spam/junk/promotion by the participants’ email providers.
Guarantee Policy
Speed Mingle currently lacks a guarantee policy because it cannot control a person’s interests, appearance, or attraction toward another person. However, Speed Mingle strives to organize events that are successful for both participants and the company itself. To ensure a balanced experience, Speed Mingle aims to create a diverse mix of participants so that everyone has someone to engage with based on their interests. Please note that last-minute online registrations or walk-ins may affect the number of participants who connect with others.
Event(s) Variation of Service Product
Some events won’t serve appetizers or beverages. Please support the venue by making a purchase. Speed Mingle events aren’t designed to meet expectations about how events operate. Neither Speed Mingle nor its affiliates are responsible if someone disapproves of its services. No refunds or reimbursements will be offered. A complete event fulfills Speed Mingle’s internal requirements and is considered a non-returnable service product delivered in full.
Credit Card Payments
When a participant registers, all credit/debit cards are processed via a secure third-party website with SSL encryption on the registration date. A 3.5% credit card processing fee, as well as a transaction fee, will be added to all credit/debit card transactions. Speed Mingle does not store or process credit card information. If a registrant initiates a credit card chargeback, a fraud investigation will be carried out involving the registration, payment, and IP address used by law enforcement, regulations, your credit card issuer, and our credit card processor. If the investigation reveals no fraud on Speed Mingle’s behalf, the participant is responsible for all fees related to credit card chargeback collection. These fees may include postage, shipping, administrative, and legal costs. Paying all fees is necessary before attending any event hosted or sponsored by Speed Mingle.
IP Address
IP Addresses are recorded and linked to all participant’s registrations. IP Address & Payment for an event are considered a signature on a contract and you have read and agreed to Speed Mingle’s Disclaimer Notice and Privacy Policy.
Complaints
To address complaints about Speed Mingle, participants must submit written complaints through the “Contact Us” button on the website or via email. No complaints will be accepted in any other format. This measure is taken to ensure that both parties maintain a record of the issue and facilitate effective resolution.
Social Media/Online Slamming
Participants are prohibited from posting negative reviews or making defamatory statements about Speed Mingle, its employees, contractors, licenses, or affiliates on social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, online chat forums, the Better Business Bureau, etc. This includes making any postings that reflect negatively on Speed Mingle. If such “Social Media/Online Slamming” occurs, Speed Mingle reserves the right to seek damages of $250,000 per post or repost by others from all registrants and social media sites that display negative reviews.
Audio, Video & Picture Capturing
When you communicate with Speed Mingle through any channel or attend an event, you consent to the possibility of being recorded. Without prior authorization from Speed Mingle, no participant is permitted to record, duplicate, or distribute any materials utilized online or during an event.
