Terms of
Membership & Use

1. Who you are agreeing with, and what this covers

These Terms of Membership and Use (the "Terms") are a binding contract between you and The Founder trading as Allure Events ("Allure", "we", "us" or "our"), a business based in Sydney, New South Wales.

These Terms govern your application for membership, your use of the Allure website at app.allureaus.com, your use of the Allure member portal and its features, and your communications with other members (together, the "Allure Services").

Your attendance at an Allure event is governed by these Terms and by the separate Event Terms and Assumption of Risk Waiver, which you agree to when you obtain a ticket or place and again when you check in at the event. If there is any inconsistency about an event, the Event Terms prevail for that event.

These Terms incorporate, and should be read with, our Privacy Policy, our Community Guidelines, and our Event Terms and Assumption of Risk Waiver.

You accept these Terms by submitting an application, by ticking the agreement box on the application form, by accessing the member portal, or by attending an Allure event. If you do not agree, do not apply and do not use the Allure Services.

2. Definitions

• Allure event — any gathering, party or function organised or hosted by Allure, whether at a hired venue, a licensed venue, or a private residence.
• Community Guidelines — the Allure Community Guidelines, as updated from time to time.
• host — a person authorised by Allure to run an event or a part of an event, including safety and welfare staff.
• member — a person whose application has been approved and whose membership is current.
• Member Content — anything you upload, post, send or display through the Allure Services, including profile content, photographs, gallery uploads, forum posts, testimonials, messages and chat images.
• peer review — the process in clause 4 by which randomly selected verified members vote on an application.
• verification photos — the face and body photographs you submit with your application for identity and age verification.

3. Eligibility and your promises to us

You may apply for membership only if all of the following are true, and by applying you represent and warrant to us that each remains true for as long as you hold membership:

• Age. You are at least 18 years old.
• Capacity. You have legal capacity to enter into a binding contract under the law of the place where you live.
• Genuine purpose. You are applying for genuine personal reasons consistent with Allure's purpose, and not for any commercial, journalistic, investigative, research, enforcement or other third-party purpose.
• No sex-offender status. You are not, and have never been, listed on, or required to be listed on, a register of sex offenders or an equivalent register in any jurisdiction.
• No relevant criminal history. You have not been convicted of a violent, sexual, or stalking-related criminal offence.
• No relevant conduct history. You have not been removed, banned or excluded from another adult, lifestyle or dating community for a breach of consent, for harassment, or for sharing intimate imagery without consent.
• Your identity is your own. You are who you say you are, the verification photos you submit are of you and are recent, and you have not used another person's identity, image or likeness.

You must tell us promptly if any of these stops being true.

We may at any time ask you for government-issued photo identification to verify your age or identity, and we may restrict your access to the Allure Services until we have done so.

Membership is by application and peer review, and is granted at our discretion. We may decline an application, and we may suspend or revoke a membership, in accordance with these Terms. Membership is personal to you. It is not transferable and must not be shared.

4. The application and peer-review process

When you apply we collect the information described in our Privacy Policy. Your application is assessed in up to two stages:

1. Administrative review by Allure staff against the eligibility criteria in clause 3 and our community standards.
2. Peer review, where an application is referred to it. Randomly selected verified members are shown an anonymised version of your application — without your full name or contact details — together with your verification photos, and each votes to approve or decline. There is no fixed panel size; the number of reviewers depends on how many verified members are available and is capped at ten. An application is approved once it reaches three approve votes — or six where ten or more reviewers are available — and declined on the same number of decline votes. If voting closes without a result, an Allure administrator decides. Reviewers are not told who you are, and you are not told who reviewed your application or how they voted.

The possible outcomes are:

• Approved — you become a member and may use the member portal and apply for event places.
• Declined — your application does not proceed. We may, but need not, give reasons. You may re-apply after 12 months, unless we tell you otherwise.
• Held — we pause the application to seek more information.

We aim to tell you the outcome within 7–14 days, but we do not guarantee a timeframe.

We do not run criminal-history checks or background checks on applicants or members, and neither administrative review nor peer review is a safety guarantee. See clause 15.3.

5. Your account and security

You are responsible for everything done under your account. You must:

• keep your password confidential, make it strong and unique, and not re-use it on other services;
• not share your account, password or any one-time code with anyone;
• not create more than one account, use anyone else's account, or let anyone else use yours;
• tell us immediately at allure@allureaus.com if you think someone else has accessed your account; and
• keep your contact details and profile information accurate and current.

6. Acceptable use of the Allure Services

You must not use the Allure Services — and must not help or encourage anyone else to use them — to do any of the following. You must not:

• impersonate any person, or misrepresent your identity, age, gender, sexuality, relationship status or any other material fact, or use another person's photographs as your own;
• upload, send or display any content that depicts, or that you suspect depicts, a person under 18 in a sexual or sexualised context, or child sexual abuse material of any kind;
• record, post, send, share, or threaten to share, an intimate or sexual image or recording of another person without that person's consent (image-based abuse) — this is a zero-tolerance breach;
• demand money, gifts, services or any other benefit in exchange for not sharing intimate or sensitive images or information (sextortion) — this is a zero-tolerance breach;
• harass, bully, threaten, stalk, intimidate, vilify or defame any person, or post content that incites hatred or violence;
• discriminate against or harass any member because of their gender, sexuality, gender identity or expression, race, ethnicity, age (within the 18+ community), body, disability, faith or relationship structure;
• solicit or advertise commercial transactions through the Allure Services or at events — including paid sexual services or sex work, "findom" or financial-domination arrangements, the sale of goods, ticket touting or resale, multi-level marketing, recruitment, or fundraising;
• send unsolicited sexual images, sexual video calls, or sexual messages, or continue contacting a member after they have asked you to stop or have blocked you;
• offer, request, supply or facilitate illegal drugs, or any other unlawful activity;
• post the private contact details, legal name, workplace or home location of any person other than yourself without their consent;
• post content depicting non-consensual violence, animal cruelty, terrorism, or other seriously harmful or unlawful material;
• upload AI-generated, "deepfake" or synthetic imagery as if it were a genuine photograph of you, or any synthetic sexual imagery of a real person created without that person's consent;
• try to defeat any security, rate-limiting, authentication or access-control measure, or access any part of the Allure Services you are not authorised to access;
• scrape, copy, harvest, index or systematically extract data about members or the platform, or use any automated means to access the Allure Services without our written permission; or
• use the Allure Services for any unlawful purpose or in breach of any applicable law.

A breach of this clause 6 may lead to immediate suspension or revocation of membership. Breaches involving consent, image-based abuse, sextortion, minors, violence, or impersonation are grounds for permanent removal.

7. Member Content

7.1 You keep ownership

You keep ownership of all Member Content you create or upload.

7.2 The licence you give us

By uploading Member Content you grant Allure a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, copy, adapt (for formatting and display only), transmit and display that Member Content, solely to:

• operate the Allure Services and show your content to other members according to your visibility settings;
• display content you have marked "public" on the public pages of app.allureaus.com;
• create de-identified and aggregated analytics and improve the platform;
• back up, restore and migrate data; and
• comply with a legal obligation.

This licence ends when you delete the relevant Member Content or close your account, except that we may keep copies in encrypted backups for up to 90 days, and in safety or audit records for as long as clause 12.3 or our Privacy Policy allows.

We will never use your verification photos for marketing, for training any model, for public display, or for any purpose other than identity and age verification and (where your application is referred) the anonymised peer-review process.

7.3 Your promises about Member Content

You represent and warrant that:

• you own, or have all necessary rights and permissions in, the Member Content you upload;
• every identifiable person in your Member Content has consented to that content and to its display on the Allure Services according to your visibility settings;
• your Member Content does not infringe anyone's intellectual property, privacy or other rights; and
• your Member Content complies with these Terms and the Community Guidelines.

7.4 Removal

We may remove Member Content that we reasonably believe breaches these Terms or the Community Guidelines, infringes another person's rights, is unlawful, or is otherwise unsuitable for the Allure Services. Where practicable we will tell you first; in urgent or serious cases we will remove it and tell you afterwards.

8. Discovery, dating and messaging features

Some features let members find, "like", match with, and message each other. When you use them:

• turning on the discovery/dating feature makes the relevant parts of your profile visible to other members using that feature;
• a "like", match or message does not create any obligation on any member to respond or to meet;
• you must comply with clause 6 and the Community Guidelines in every interaction; and
• you can block another member at any time, and you should report conduct that breaches our rules (clause 10).

We do not monitor private messages as a matter of course, but we may access message content where reasonably necessary to investigate a report or a suspected breach, to comply with the law, or to protect the safety of a person.

9. Events

Allure runs events from time to time and invites members to attend. Places may be limited and may be offered by ticket, RSVP or invitation.

To attend an event you must:

• hold a current membership when you obtain your place and when the event is held;
• agree to the Event Terms and Assumption of Risk Waiver;
• comply with any event-specific terms sent with the invitation, including dress code, capacity limits, arrival times, and any couple/single ratio or ticket-type rules; and
• present government-issued photo identification at check-in if asked.

At events that Allure hosts, Allure is responsible for running the event — which, depending on the event, may include engaging the venue, engaging licensed security and crowd controllers, and (where Allure holds the relevant licence) running the bar with staff trained in the responsible service of alcohol. At events held under a venue's own licence, the venue's licensee is responsible for liquor service and the venue's conditions also apply. The Event Terms explain how this works and what you are responsible for.

We may refuse entry to, or remove from an event, any person who cannot satisfy identity or age checks, who is intoxicated or affected by drugs, who does not comply with the dress code or event terms, or who has breached these Terms, the Community Guidelines or the Event Terms. Refund consequences are set out in the Event Terms.

10. Reporting and moderation

If you experience or witness a breach of these Terms, the Community Guidelines or the Event Terms, you can report it:

• in the member portal, at Profile → Report a member;
• by email to allure@allureaus.com at any time; or
• in person to a host at an event.

We protect the identity of people who report in good faith. When we receive a report we will acknowledge it within 48 hours; look into it in a timely way and give the member complained about a chance to respond where it is safe and appropriate to do so; decide on the balance of probabilities (we do not need the conduct to have been proven to a criminal or civil standard before we act); and take action proportionate to the conduct — a warning, a requirement to re-acknowledge these Terms, content removal, suspension, or revocation of membership. Where we reasonably believe it is necessary to protect someone's safety, we may suspend a member's access straight away while we look into a report.

If we suspend or revoke your membership after a report, you may ask us to reconsider by emailing allure@allureaus.com within 14 days, setting out why. We will review the decision, and where practicable someone who was not involved in it will do so.

You must not make a report that is false, malicious or in bad faith. Doing so is itself a breach of these Terms.

11. Fees, paid memberships and payments

Membership application is currently free, and approved membership currently carries no recurring fee. Individual events may carry a ticket cost, which is told to you with the invitation.

If we introduce paid membership tiers or online ticket sales, the following will apply and will be confirmed to you before you pay:

• Prices are in Australian dollars and include GST where it applies.
• Paid memberships, if offered on a recurring basis, will show the price and billing period before you subscribe. We will tell you clearly if a subscription renews automatically, and we will send a reminder before each renewal with instructions to cancel. You can cancel a renewing membership at any time.
• Pro-rata refunds. If a paid membership ends part-way through a period you have already paid for — whether you cancel, or we suspend or revoke it, and whatever the reason — we refund the unused portion on a pro-rata basis, less any amount you owe us. This does not apply to event tickets, which are dealt with in the Event Terms.
• Event tickets are governed by the refund and cancellation terms in the Event Terms and Assumption of Risk Waiver.
• Payment will be processed by a third-party payment processor named in our Privacy Policy. We do not store your full card details.
• Chargebacks. Raising a chargeback or payment dispute instead of using our refund process, where you are not entitled to a refund, is a breach of these Terms and may lead to suspension of membership.

Nothing in this clause limits your rights under the Australian Consumer Law (Schedule 2 to the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth), the "ACL"), including the consumer guarantees, which cannot be excluded.

12. Suspension, termination and account deletion

12.1 By us

We may suspend, restrict or revoke your membership if:

• you breach these Terms, the Community Guidelines or the Event Terms;
• you gave false information in your application or on your profile;
• you behave in a way that we reasonably consider puts at risk the safety, dignity or privacy of another member, our staff, a venue's staff, or the wider community;
• a credible report of a breach of consent or of image-based abuse is made against you;
• you are the subject of a chargeback or payment dispute raised otherwise than through our refund process; or
• we are required to act by law or by a regulator.

Where the conduct is serious — including anything involving consent, image-based abuse, sextortion, minors, violence or impersonation — we may revoke membership immediately and without prior notice. In every other case we will act proportionately, give you notice and a reasonable chance to respond first, and (for a paid membership) refund the unused portion of your current period under clause 11.

12.2 By you

You may delete your account at any time from Settings → Delete account in the member portal. What happens to your data is explained in section 7 of our Privacy Policy.

12.3 Effect of termination

When your membership ends for any reason: your access to the member portal and to events stops; you remain responsible for any breach of these Terms before it ended; clauses that by their nature should continue — including clauses 7.2, 7.3, 12.3, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 18 — survive; if you hold a paid membership, we refund the unused portion of your current paid period on a pro-rata basis (clause 11), less any amount you owe us, and event tickets are dealt with in the Event Terms; and we may retain your information in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

13. Assumption of risk — dealings with other members

You acknowledge that:

• Allure is a community platform. We introduce members to each other and to events; we do not supervise or control how members behave towards each other, whether online or in person;
• we do not verify the statements members make about themselves beyond the application process in clause 4, and we do not run criminal-history or background checks;
• your communications and meetings with other members, including any in person and any of a sexual nature, are your own choice and at your own risk; and
• you are responsible for your own physical safety, sexual health and wellbeing in any interaction with another member.

This clause does not exclude any liability that cannot be excluded under clause 15.1, and it does not limit our own responsibilities as the organiser of an event, which are dealt with in the Event Terms and Assumption of Risk Waiver.

14. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify Allure and our employees, contractors, hosts and peer reviewers against all claims, losses, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal costs) that any of them suffers or incurs arising out of or in connection with:

• your breach of these Terms, the Community Guidelines or the Event Terms;
• your Member Content, or any content you send through the Allure Services;
• your conduct towards another member or at an event; or
• a third-party claim arising from your use of the Allure Services in breach of any law.

This indemnity is reduced to the extent that the loss was caused by Allure's own negligence or breach of these Terms.

15. Liability

15.1 Rights that cannot be excluded

Certain rights and guarantees — including the consumer guarantees under the ACL and rights under other consumer-protection laws — cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted or modified. Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts or modifies any such right. Where we are permitted to limit our liability for a failure to comply with a consumer guarantee, our liability is limited (at our option) to, for services, re-supplying the services or paying the cost of having them re-supplied; and for goods, replacing the goods or supplying equivalent goods, or paying the cost of doing so.

15.2 Other liability

Subject to clause 15.1, and to the maximum extent permitted by law:

• we exclude all conditions, warranties, representations and terms that are not expressly set out in these Terms, whether implied by statute, custom or otherwise;
• we are not liable for any indirect, consequential, special or punitive loss, or for loss of profit, revenue, opportunity, goodwill or data, however it arises; and
• our total liability to you in connection with the Allure Services (other than liability under clause 15.1, and other than for personal injury caused by our negligence to the extent the law does not permit that liability to be limited) is limited, in aggregate, to the greater of the total amount you have paid Allure in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim, and AUD $[AMOUNT].

15.3 No safety guarantee

The application and peer-review process helps us maintain community standards. It is not a background check and it is not a guarantee about the character, conduct, health or intentions of any member. You must exercise your own judgement in your dealings with other members.

15.4 Matters outside our control

We are not liable for any failure or delay in providing the Allure Services caused by something outside our reasonable control, including a failure of a hosting, payment or communications provider, a venue becoming unavailable, or an act of a public authority.

16. Intellectual property in the Allure Services

The Allure Services — including the website, the member portal, the Allure name and branding, and our text, designs, graphics and software — are owned by or licensed to Allure and are protected by intellectual-property law. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-transferable, non-sublicensable licence to access and use the Allure Services for your personal, non-commercial use as a member, in accordance with these Terms. You must not copy, modify, reverse engineer, scrape, republish, sell or create derivative works from the Allure Services without our prior written consent.

17. Privacy

Our handling of your personal information is governed by our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms.

18. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the law of New South Wales and the Commonwealth of Australia. You and we submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New South Wales and the courts that hear appeals from them.

If a dispute arises, please contact us first at allure@allureaus.com. We will try in good faith to resolve it. If it is not resolved within 30 days, either of us may start proceedings. Nothing in this clause prevents either party from seeking urgent injunctive relief, and nothing in these Terms requires you to waive any right to participate in representative or class proceedings.

19. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The current version is always at app.allureaus.com/terms.html. If a change is material we will give active members reasonable notice through the member portal or by email before it takes effect. Your continued use of the Allure Services after that means you accept the updated Terms. If you do not accept a change, you may delete your account.

20. General

• Severability. If a provision of these Terms is invalid or unenforceable, it is severed and the rest continues in force.
• Waiver. A delay or failure by us to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it.
• Assignment. You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms. We may assign or transfer ours to a buyer or successor of our business on no less favourable terms.
• Entire agreement. These Terms, with the Privacy Policy, Community Guidelines and Event Terms, are the entire agreement between you and Allure about the Allure Services, and replace any earlier representations or understandings.
• Notices. Notices to Allure go to allure@allureaus.com and to [REGISTERED ADDRESS]. Notices to you go to the email address on your account.
