Commercial Introductions
Terms that apply when Events introduces attendees who later enter into a commercial transaction.
Plain-language summary
Applied only to eligible non-regulated commercial consideration actually received.
From the first Protected Introduction recorded by Events.
Maximum commercial success fee per protected relationship, or stated local-currency equivalent.
1. Protected Introduction
A “Protected Introduction” is an introduction between attendees created or materially facilitated by Events or Source33, including an in-app match, mutual connect, personal Connect Code, QR/badge scan, organizer introduction, event networking flow or recorded contact exchange.
The protection period lasts 12 months from the first recorded introduction. The 15% rate applies only to introductions made after the attendee explicitly accepts these updated terms; pre-existing introductions and agreements retain their original accepted terms. A relationship that the parties can document existed materially before the event is excluded if declared promptly.
2. Commercial Success Fee
For an eligible commercial transaction resulting from a Protected Introduction, the party receiving the relevant commercial revenue pays Events a success fee equal to 15% of cash consideration actually received during the 12-month protection period, subject to a maximum aggregate fee of USD 33,000 per protected relationship unless a separate signed agreement states otherwise.
Examples include services, product sales, sponsorships, licensing, commercial partnerships and similar non-regulated business transactions. The fee is not charged merely because two people match, talk, become friends or meet.
If consideration is refunded or never received, the success fee is reduced accordingly. The fee becomes due after the underlying cash is received and must be reported through the Deal Room.
3. Investment and regulated transactions
Investment, securities, fundraising, brokerage, credit, real-estate brokerage, share/business acquisitions and other transactions that may require regulatory or sector-specific authorization are not automatically charged the 15% success fee under these standard terms.
Where such a transaction is supported through an appropriately licensed entity or regulated partner, any compensation, commissions and disclosures are governed by separate written terms shown before that regulated service begins.
4. Off-platform deals and non-circumvention
Moving a conversation to phone, email, WhatsApp, Telegram, an in-person meeting, another platform or a different contracting entity does not by itself remove an eligible commercial transaction from the protection period when the transaction resulted from the Protected Introduction.
Participants agree not to deliberately restructure, split, redirect or conceal a transaction for the primary purpose of avoiding an otherwise due success fee. A transaction completed through an affiliate, related company, shareholder, director, employee, nominee, agent, special-purpose vehicle or other intermediary remains attributable when it is economically the same opportunity arising from the Protected Introduction. The platform may request reasonable transaction evidence limited to what is necessary to verify the fee calculation, subject to confidentiality and applicable law.
5. Deal reporting
Participants should update the Events Deal Room when an introduction becomes a meeting, opportunity, signed transaction or payment. For eligible commercial transactions, cash received should be reported within seven days so the platform can calculate the applicable fee.
Both parties may confirm or dispute the recorded transaction. A dispute pauses automated fee collection while the matter is reviewed. Participants authorize Events to request periodic deal-status confirmations during the protection period and agree to answer those requests accurately and within seven days.
6. Contact data and matching
Email, phone number and full birth date are private registration data. They are not shown in public event search. A voluntarily uploaded recognition photo appears to registered attendees in the event directory, and its hosted media URL may be separately accessible to anyone who has the URL. Contacts are shared only after mutual connection when both explicitly allow contact sharing. General and private event messages stay within Source33.
Friendship and Relationship/Dating matching are opt-in only. In the current Relationship mode both adults must explicitly select the option, select Male or Female themselves, and form a man–woman pairing; no gender is inferred from names or photos. Business or investment decisions should use verified facts, role fit and due diligence. Numerology, Pythagorean Square, Matrix 22, Sun sign and the Chinese lunar calendar are interpretive date-derived patterns, not a validated prediction of love, commercial outcomes or fate. Advanced natal, BaZi and Human Design inputs requiring time or place are not invented. Event zones are voluntarily selected and shown to mutually connected attendees for up to 20 minutes. Optional approximate GPS is explicitly user-activated, expires after 90 seconds, and is visible to mutually accepted introductions only while BOTH peers are sharing. Coordinates and accuracy are browser estimates, not a precise room or floor position. The optional external map uses OpenStreetMap tiles and may reveal the approximate viewport to that provider. Neither GPS proximity nor a symbolic score is proof of a meeting or transaction. Email updates, commercial follow-ups, SMS, WhatsApp and manager calls are subject to separate opt-in and channel availability.
7. Acceptance
By checking the acceptance box during event registration, the participant agrees to the version shown above. Events stores a time-stamped acceptance record together with the event, account and fee parameters that were displayed at acceptance. Event-specific or separately signed commercial terms may override these standard terms where they expressly say so.
These are proposed platform terms, not legal advice. An appropriately qualified UAE lawyer must review enforceability, fees, privacy, electronic consent, brokerage restrictions and communications consent before collection or regulated activity.
