Goal of Joinby

Communities

  • All activity on our platform takes place within a 'community'. A community usually stands for a location or part of an organization.

  • When registering, you can see who the community belongs to by means of the “Powered by” . In the case of third-party communities, the name of the third party is shown here.
  • Joinby can also set up and manage communities in its own name, indicated as “Powered by Joinby”

Third Party Communities

  • The third party can set additional rules about the use of his/her community. These may not conflict with the terms of Joinby and/or Dutch law.
  • The third party may determine that access to his/her community is subject to a fee.
  • The third determines who can access the community. This is indicated when registering. Communities can be open or closed.
  • If the community is closed, it is not allowed to (attempt to) participate in a community that is not intended for you.
  • Third parties are responsible for the management (support, removing members, etc.) and the goings-on within their own community, unless expressly stated and agreed otherwise.

Within a community

  • Within a community, 'groups' and 'activities' can be started by the administrator around a theme, activity or area of interest.
  • Administrators may determine membership criteria for their own clubs, but these rules must never conflict with Joinby's terms of service and/or Dutch law.
  • Members have an account and can participate in the clubs and activities open to them. Members are responsible for their own well-being.
  • Administrators are entitled to charge an amount for participation in clubs and/or activities, provided they clearly indicate this in advance
  • Joinby aims to bring people in the real world closer together. Joinby has no influence on the situations on site and therefore does not accept any form of responsibility associated with the use of the Platform. Good counselor is your common sense and judgment of a situation.

Your content and that of others

  • As an administrator, you are responsible for all content shared in your club. This applies to chat traffic, event information and information shared by others.
