This Terms of Use and Membership Agreement (this “Agreement”) is a binding contract between you (“you” or “Member”) and Ateam, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ATEAM,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). This Agreement governs your access to and use of the ATEAM mobile application, websites, and any related software, features, tools, and content (the “Platform”), ATEAM membership, programs, communities, and communications (the “Club”), and any ATEAM-hosted, ATEAM-sponsored, or ATEAM-affiliated events, gatherings, experiences, activations, classes, meetups, brand partner events, or related activities (collectively, “Events”). The Platform, Club, and Events are collectively the “Service.”

1. Private Membership Club

ATEAM operates as a private membership club supported by a technology platform. Membership is offered by invitation and/or application and is not open to the general public. Access to the Service is a privilege, not a right. The Company may accept, deny, suspend, restrict, limit, condition, or revoke membership or access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, in the Company’s sole and absolute discretion.

The Service is designed to facilitate introductions and communications among members. We do not guarantee admission to membership, any particular number or quality of connections, matches, invitations, responses, or interactions, compatibility or intent of any user, or any romantic, social, professional, or business outcome.

Your use of the Service is also subject to any community guidelines, safety guidance, event rules, house rules, refund rules, or other policies we may publish (collectively, “Policies”). We may modify this Agreement at any time. Your continued access constitutes acceptance.
