If the Club permits only designated or authorized Members to post Events and you are not such person, you may send a request or a suggestion for an Event to the Administrator of the Club, who may then exercise his discretion in dealing with such a request.

If you are a Member of a Club, you may attend and participate in an "Open To All" Event by clicking on "Yes" in the RSVP option or may request an invite and then RSVP to it, in case of a "By Invite Only" Event.

The total number of Bravo Points received by the User will be displayed on the account of such User and will be available for viewing by other Users.

9. Interactions on Treetle

Administrator(s) and Organizer(s)

An Administrator has authority over the activities of a Club. The Administrator may set the criteria for entry into the Club and membership of the Club. The Administrator may suspend or terminate a User's membership of a particular Club, grant and revoke permission to post Events, or otherwise participate in the Club activities and interactions. The Administrator may also relinquish his/her position. The following procedures apply:

Composition of the Club	Procedure for relinquishment of position by Administrator and shutting down of Club
If the Club has no Member(s) apart from the Administrator	The Administrator may send a written request to support [at] treetle [dot] com to shut down the Club.
If the Club has Member(s) but no other Administrator	Since a Club must have at least one Administrator, the Administrator may not relinquish his/her position unless they assign someone else to be the Administrator of the Club; such User must first accept to become an Administrator. The new Administrator can repeat the process above should they choose not to remain an Administrator.

An Organizer of an Event may set criteria for participation in an Event and regulate/limit the Members who are able to view and sign-up for the Event.

Further, Treetle may, at its sole discretion, change permission settings of clubs (e.g., from allowing only designated organizers to organize events to allowing anyone to organize events in a particular club) if we deem it necessary for the proper functioning of the club.

Interaction within Clubs

Interaction between Users on Treetle can take place through their participation in Clubs and Events. By joining a Club, Users agree to receive communication from the Members of the Club, including but not limited to the Administrator, Co-administrator of the Club and Organizer(s) and Co-organizer(s) of Events.

Such communication and related materials will be transmitted to your e-mail inbox and/or your Treetle inbox. However, unless authorized by you, your e-mail address will not be visible to any other Member of the Club. Further, you may subscribe or unsubscribe to e-mail alerts.

In addition you may also post your comments, opinions, etc., on the Club discussion page and other public areas of the Website. Such contributions may be viewed by all Members of the Club and other Users respectively.

Interaction among Users - Treetle Messaging and Treetle Inbox

Treetle has included a private messaging/e-mail service, which allows Treetle Users to interact with each other as well as the Treetle administration and Vendors to interact with Users. All messages/e-mails may be viewed in your Treetle inbox.

Treetle Calendar

Treetle Calendar is a feature provided by Treetle, which helps you keep track of your Events. Communication with regard to Events that you are invited to and eligible to attend will directly be posted on your Treetle Calendar. The following are the indications that may appear on your Calendar depending on your activity:

A green dot on the calendar means you've responded "Yes" in the RSVP option to an Event on that day.
An orange dot on the calendar means there is an Event in one of your Clubs on that day but you are yet to RSVP to it.
A blue box is displayed around the current date.

10. Sponsor a Club or an Event

Interested Users may sponsor a Club or an Event on Treetle, by sending an email to sponsor [at] treetle [dot] com. Within a reasonable period of time of such submission Treetle will contact the User with the particulars of the sponsorship arrangement. Sponsoring a Club or an Event on the Website will not only enable the Users to support and/or promote a cause, interest or any activity but will also enable them to avail of other significant benefits and advantages such as logo presence on the Club/Event page with a link to the company or organization of the User. In addition the sponsor will have the opportunity to host or conduct activities such as contests and competitions to increase brand recognition and awareness. Please note that the terms of the sponsorship and the benefits accruing to the User on account of it may differ from User to User and Treetle reserves the right to provide distinct rights to different Users/sponsors at its sole and absolute discretion and Users agree to not make any claim or raise any complaint against Treetle in this respect.

11. Offline Activity

You agree that Treetle merely provides a platform and tools that allow Users to organize Offline Events at various locations. Treetle does not control, or involve itself in any other manner, with these Offline Events. Treetle further, does not verify the identity of persons organizing or attending such Events. We therefore request you to exercise caution and care in attending these Offline Events, and further exercise vigilance while participating in these Events.

For these reasons, you agree to release Treetle and all its directors, employees, consultants, affiliates, agents and assigns from all claims and damages of every kind, arising out of your use of the Treetle Website or Treetle Services, Third Party Website(s), or your attendance at, or participation in Offline Events. You further waive all rights that you may have under any laws in force that have the effect of limiting the waiver/release.

Credits accumulate in your account when you sell tickets for Paid Events you organize. These may be redeemed via a PayPal account or via online bank transfer depending on the country you are in. Tickets sold via Treetle are subject to a service fee of 5% (E.g., if you sell 10 tickets to your event for US$10 each, the gross proceeds will be US$100.

14. Cancellation and Refund Policy for Paid Events

Paid events are events where the organizer of an event requests users to pay a certain amount of money to participate in the event. Users agree that once they confirm a transaction for paid events, the amount is not refundable to them in case the user decides they are not able to participate in the event. In case the organizer of the event cancels the event, or the said event does not take place, Treetle will refund the money to the users. For this to happen, the user agrees that they must write to support [at] treetle [dot] com, within 24 hours of the event end-time as posted on Treetle, and notify the administrator of Treetle that said event has not taken place. Upon confirmation by Treetle, Treetle will begin the refund process, which can take up to 6 (six) weeks.
