Terms of Use

TripSociety is an approval-only professional network operated by Elysian Access LLC. These Terms govern your access to tripsociety.app, applications, member features, trip-interest requests, communications, and other TripSociety services.

By creating an account, submitting an application, or using the service, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not submit information or use member features.

• ·You must be at least 18 years old and able to enter a binding agreement.
• ·You must provide accurate, current information and use an account that belongs to you.
• ·You are responsible for safeguarding your sign-in access and for activity under your account.
• ·Accounts, approvals, invitations, and membership access are personal and may not be sold or transferred.

Applying does not guarantee approval. TripSociety may approve, decline, waitlist, suspend, or revoke access based on network fit, safety, capacity, authenticity, conduct, or other legitimate platform considerations.

When presented during the website application flow, the $29 USD TripSociety Application Review fee is a one-time, non-recurring charge for processing and reviewing an application. No application fee is requested or accepted through the TripSociety iOS app. Payment on the website does not guarantee approval, membership, an invitation, trip participation, employment, compensation, free travel, lodging, products, or any future opportunity.

For website applications where the fee is presented, application review begins after Stripe confirms payment. For iOS app submissions, review begins after the application is submitted and no payment is required. The website application-review fee is non-refundable after payment is completed, except for duplicate charges, verified billing errors, or where a refund is required by applicable law. Canceling or leaving Stripe Checkout before payment is completed does not create a charge, and the application remains saved.

Approval alone does not guarantee trip participation, employment, brand work, compensation, free travel, lodging, products, or future opportunities. Under the current membership model, membership becomes active after a member's first confirmed TripSociety trip unless TripSociety communicates a different activation path in writing.

Public experience pages may describe concepts, hosts, destinations, and anticipated timing. A request for interest is not a reservation or booking. Only written confirmation from the platform owner establishes an invitation or approved participation.

Trip-specific prices, deposits, inclusions, exclusions, providers, deadlines, cancellation terms, refund terms, documentation requirements, and participant responsibilities will be disclosed for express acceptance before any future charge or binding trip commitment.

Travel, lodging, transportation, activities, insurance, and other services may be provided by independent third parties under their own terms. TripSociety's role may vary by experience and will be described in the applicable trip materials. You are responsible for reviewing provider terms and maintaining passports, visas, insurance, health documentation, and other requirements applicable to you.

TripSociety may offer optional transactional text-message communications for interview scheduling. You must actively opt in by providing a mobile number and selecting the SMS consent checkbox presented with the booking form. Consent is not a condition of purchase or membership.

If you opt in, TripSociety may send interview confirmations, booking or cancellation changes, and 24-hour and 1-hour reminders. Message frequency varies by appointment activity and is typically up to 4 messages per scheduled interview. Message and data rates may apply.

Reply STOP to opt out of text messages or HELP for help. Opting out of SMS does not cancel an interview; use your TripSociety booking link or contact support for appointment changes.

The only public TripSociety payment available when application checkout is open is the one-time $29 USD Application Review fee described above. TripSociety is not currently collecting membership subscriptions, trip or experience payments, sponsor or campaign payments, escrow deposits, or payouts through this website.

Application-review payments are processed by Stripe for Elysian Access LLC. Card details are entered directly with Stripe. Checkout identifies the amount, currency, what the charge covers, and its non-recurring nature before authorization. Payment completion is confirmed by Stripe and TripSociety's server—not by a browser redirect alone.

To report a duplicate charge or verified billing error, contact hello@tripsociety.app with the application email and Stripe receipt or payment reference. Nothing in this policy limits refund rights that cannot legally be limited.

Members may have opportunities to connect, propose collaborations, share profiles, submit content, or participate in hosted experiences. Unless a separate signed agreement says otherwise, platform activity does not create an employment, agency, partnership, fiduciary, or exclusive relationship.

Compensation, content deliverables, usage rights, licenses, timelines, approvals, expenses, and disclosures must be set out in the applicable written collaboration or trip agreement. Members are responsible for truthful endorsements and legally required advertising disclosures.

You retain ownership of content you submit. You grant Elysian Access LLC a limited, non-exclusive license to host, reproduce, format, and display that content only as reasonably necessary to operate, review, secure, and improve TripSociety and to administer an applicable opportunity.

You represent that you have permission to submit your content and that it does not violate another person's privacy, publicity, copyright, trademark, or other rights. Additional content usage requires the applicable trip or collaboration agreement.

You may not:

• ·Misrepresent your identity, audience, experience, credentials, affiliation, or deliverables.
• ·Harass, discriminate against, threaten, exploit, or endanger another person.
• ·Upload unlawful, infringing, malicious, deceptive, or privacy-invasive content.
• ·Probe, bypass, disrupt, scrape, or gain unauthorized access to accounts, data, routes, or systems.
• ·Use member contact details for spam, unauthorized solicitation, or resale.
• ·Submit passport numbers, payment-card data, medical records, or emergency-contact details through general application, interest, chat, or support fields.

Travel and in-person activity involve risks, including transportation delays, illness, injury, weather, political conditions, provider performance, and personal-property loss. Review official travel guidance, use appropriate judgment, and obtain suitable insurance where available. Emergency or safety concerns should be directed to local emergency services first.

The service is provided on an as-available basis. Features may change, pause, or be discontinued. Links to hosted authentication, Calendly, social platforms, payment providers, travel providers, or other third parties are governed by those providers' terms and privacy practices.

TripSociety may limit or suspend access when reasonably necessary to protect people, data, the network, legal compliance, or platform integrity. You may stop using the service at any time and may request account assistance through the Contact page.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Elysian Access LLC does not guarantee uninterrupted service, approval, invitations, earnings, collaborations, travel outcomes, or third-party performance. Nothing in these Terms excludes rights or liabilities that cannot legally be excluded.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Elysian Access LLC will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, or consequential losses arising from use of the service or third-party services.

We may update these Terms as the service changes or legal requirements evolve. Material changes will be presented through the site, account, or email when appropriate. The date above identifies the current version.

Questions about these Terms may be submitted through the Contact page or sent to hello@tripsociety.app.
