While we provide the technology that enables users to discover communities, participate in discussions, communicate with one another, and attend events, Knoso does not create the relationships or experiences that occur between users.

You agree that all information you provide during registration and while using the Platform will be accurate, current, and complete. You agree to promptly update your information if it changes.

18. Communities

Communities are created and managed by users, not by Knoso, unless expressly identified as an official Knoso community. Knoso does not endorse, verify, or guarantee the accuracy, quality, safety, legality, or conduct of any community, community leader, administrator, moderator, member, or community-created content. Participation in any community is voluntary and at your own risk. Some communities may be public, private, invitation-only, or require approval before membership is granted. Community availability, settings, and membership requirements may change at any time.
19. Community Creation and Approval
Users may have the ability to submit communities for review and approval. Submission of a community does not guarantee that it will be approved or published. Knoso reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to approve, deny, reject, suspend, remove, archive, or permanently delete any community at any time, with or without notice.
Reasons may include, but are not limited to:
• violations of these Terms;

• promote or remove administrators;
• remove members;
• manage posts, comments, chats, and events;
• update community information;
• establish community-specific rules.
Community rules may supplement, but may never override, Knoso’s Terms, Community Guidelines, or Safety Policies.

Knoso reserves the right to remove administrative privileges or transfer community ownership when reasonably necessary, including in situations involving inactivity, abuse, fraud, legal compliance, safety concerns, or Platform integrity.
21. Community Membership
By joining a community, you agree to follow:
• these Terms;
• our Community Guidelines;
• any lawful community-specific rules established by the community owner or administrators.

An RSVP is not a contract between attendees and organizers and does not guarantee admission unless expressly stated by the organizer. Event organizers are responsible for attendance limits, waitlists, cancellations, refunds (if applicable), venue policies, and event management. Knoso is not responsible for disputes arising between organizers and attendees.
24. Going Solo
Knoso may provide features that allow users to indicate they are attending an event alone and wish to meet others before or during the event. These features are intended solely to facilitate introductions between willing participants. Knoso does not verify the identity, intentions, background, or conduct of participants. Participation is voluntary and entirely at your own risk. Users are responsible for exercising appropriate judgment when deciding whether to communicate with or meet another person.
