Terms and Conditions

1. Who we are

KYNCT is operated by KYNCT S.à r.l.-S, a simplified limited liability company in formation under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, with its registered office in Luxembourg.

In these Terms, “KYNCT”, “we”, “us” and “our” mean that company. “You” means the person using our services.

We accept communication in English. A person reads these addresses; they are not answered solely by automated systems.

2. What these Terms cover

These Terms apply to the KYNCT mobile application, app.kynct.com, and kynct.com, together “the Services”. One document covers all three: kynct.com is mostly an informational homepage, so most of what follows concerns the app and app.kynct.com, but these Terms apply wherever you use KYNCT.

By creating an account or using the Services you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

Our Community Guidelines form part of these Terms. So do our Organiser Guidelines if you post public events. Where these Terms and the Guidelines differ, these Terms apply.

3. What KYNCT is, and what it is not

KYNCT helps students find real-world events, go to them, and share what happened afterwards.

KYNCT is a noticeboard. Events on KYNCT are created by users and organisers, not by us.

We are not the organiser of any event listed on KYNCT, unless we say so explicitly. We do not host events, we do not vet them individually before they appear, and we have no control over what happens at them. Your arrangement to attend an event is between you and the organiser.

We do not handle payments. We sell no tickets, take no commission and process no payment for events. If an event charges, you are buying from the organiser or their ticketing provider, and your contract is with them.

4. Who can use KYNCT

To use KYNCT you must:

• be 18 or over
• be a student at a recognised institution, verified using your university email address
• be a real person, using your real identity, with one account
• not have been previously removed from KYNCT

We may verify your student status. We may remove accounts that do not meet these requirements.

5. Your account

You are responsible for your account and for keeping your login secure. Tell us promptly at support@kynct.com if you believe someone else has access to it.

Do not share, sell or transfer your account.

6. What you may and may not post

The Community Guidelines set out in full what is and is not allowed on KYNCT. In summary, you may not post content that is illegal, or that:

• harasses, bullies, threatens or targets another person
• attacks people on the basis of who they are
• promotes violence or self-harm
• is sexual content involving minors, or endangers a child
• shares intimate images without consent, or personal details without permission
• defrauds people, including fake events, fake tickets and requests for payment
• is spam, bulk unsolicited messaging, or comes from a bot or duplicate account
• infringes someone else's intellectual property
• advertises events that do not exist, that you have no right to promote, or whose real purpose is selling rather than gathering people

Disagreement is not a breach. Political, religious, cultural and activist content and events are allowed. Holding an opinion someone dislikes is not a violation; attacking a person is.

7. How we moderate

This section explains how content moderation on KYNCT actually works.

8. Reporting illegal content

Anyone can report content on KYNCT, whether or not they have an account.

You can report an event, post, comment or profile using the report option in the app, or by emailing support@kynct.com.

A useful report includes: what the content is, where to find it, why you believe it is illegal or breaches these Terms, your name and email address, and a statement that you believe the report is accurate and made in good faith.

When you report something we will:

• confirm we have received your report
• consider it in a timely, diligent, non-arbitrary and objective way
• tell you what we decided, and what you can do if you disagree

Reporting is anonymous to the person reported: we do not tell them who reported them.

If someone is in immediate danger, contact the emergency services on 112 first. We are a small team and the emergency services are faster than we are.

9. When we restrict your content or account

If we remove your content, limit it, or restrict your account because it is illegal or breaches these Terms, we will give you a statement of reasons no later than the day the restriction takes effect, telling you:

• what we did, and how far it extends
• the facts and circumstances we relied on
• whether automated means were used
• which law or which part of these Terms we relied on
• what you can do about it, including your right to go to court

If you think we have got it wrong, tell us at support@kynct.com. We are a small team, and we cannot promise that every decision will be reviewed again, but we do read what you send us, and if you show us we made a mistake we will put it right. Nothing in these Terms limits your right to take a matter to a court, or to a supervisory authority such as the Autorité de la concurrence in Luxembourg.

We may act without prior notice where content is seriously harmful, where we are required to by law, or where an authority orders us to.

We report suspected criminal offences involving a threat to someone's life or safety to the Luxembourg judicial police, promptly, and we provide the information we hold.

10. Your content

You keep ownership of everything you post.

By posting, you give us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce and display your content within the Services, and in promotion of the event it belongs to, for as long as you keep it on KYNCT.

This licence exists so that we can run the service, nothing more. It ends when you delete the content or your account, except where we must retain something to meet a legal obligation, or where it has already been shared by others.

You confirm that you have the right to post what you post, and that it does not infringe anyone else's rights.

Photos and video of other people: do not post someone who has asked you not to, and take content down when asked.

11. Events and organisers

If you post a public event, you are the organiser of it and the Organiser Guidelines apply to you.

By posting an event you confirm it is genuinely happening, that you have the right to organise or promote it, and that the details you have given are accurate. If it changes or is cancelled, update it.

We may ask you to verify your identity before you can post events publicly.

Tickets may not be resold on KYNCT. Not above face value, not at face value, not by anyone. If you cannot use a ticket, deal with the organiser or their ticketing provider. Accounts that offer resale tickets will be treated as breaching these Terms.

12. Privacy

How we handle your personal data is set out in our Privacy Policy. Data protection enquiries go to legal@kynct.com.

13. Ending it

You can delete your account at any time, in the app or by emailing support@kynct.com.

We may suspend or end your access if you breach these Terms or the Guidelines, if we are required to by law, or if we stop providing the Services. Where we do, section 9 applies.

14. Our responsibility, and its limits

We provide KYNCT free of charge, with reasonable care and skill, but we do not promise that it will always be available, error-free, or that every event listed is genuine.

We are not responsible for:

• what happens at events listed on KYNCT
• the accuracy of event listings created by users
• money you pay to an organiser or anyone else
• content posted by other users
• third-party services we link to, including ticketing providers

Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, for gross negligence or wilful misconduct, or for anything else that cannot be limited or excluded under the law that applies to you.

Beyond that, we are liable for damage that is a foreseeable result of our breach of these Terms or our failure to use reasonable care, and not for damage that is not foreseeable, or that is caused by other users, organisers, or events themselves. None of this affects the rights you have as a consumer under the law of the country where you live.

15. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. Where a change is significant, we will tell users before it takes effect, and we will say what changed rather than editing quietly.

Continuing to use KYNCT after a change takes effect means you accept the updated Terms.

16. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.

Disputes are subject to the competent courts of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, except where consumer protection law entitles you to bring proceedings in the country where you live, which it may. If you live in another EU country, you also keep the protection of any rules of that country's consumer law that cannot be contracted away.

17. If something is unclear

If part of these Terms turns out to be unenforceable, the rest continues to apply.
