What If Terms and Conditions
Effective Date: 06.19.2025
Welcome to What If! These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") are a contract between you and What If Social LLC ("we", "us", or "our"). By using our app, website, or attending any What If event, you agree to follow these Terms.
1. Who Can Use What If
You must be:
- At least 18 years old
- At least 21 to attend events where alcohol is served
- Using your real identity and a genuine profile
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts if we believe someone is underage or misrepresenting themselves.
2. Your Account
When you create an account, you agree to:
- Use accurate, up-to-date information
- Only use one account per person
- Not share your login with others
We may suspend or delete accounts at any time if you break these rules or behave inappropriately on or off the app.
3. Behavior at Events
We want What If dinners to be safe and enjoyable for everyone. You agree to:
- Show up if you RSVP
- Be respectful toward other attendees
- Not engage in harassment, threats, hate speech, or illegal activity
You can report bad behavior directly in the app or by contacting us. If you repeatedly no-show or violate our guidelines, we may warn you, suspend your account, or remove you permanently.
4. No-Shows & Attendance
We understand life happens. If you can't attend an event you RSVP'd for, please cancel ahead of time. If you repeatedly miss events without notice, we may suspend or remove your account. We don't have a set limit—we'll use our judgment and aim to be fair.
5. Content You Share
You own any content you upload (like photos or profile details), but by using What If, you give us permission to use that content to operate and promote the app. This includes:
- Displaying your profile to other users
- Using anonymized data to improve recommendations
- Featuring user stories or images with your consent
You agree not to post anything that is:
- False, harmful, or offensive
- Infringes on someone else's rights
- Spam or scam-related
- Promoting violence, hate, or illegal activity
We reserve the right to remove any content and take action if you break these rules.
6. Payments, Subscriptions & Event Tickets
Some features or events may require a fee. All purchases are handled through the App Store or Google Play:
- Subscriptions may auto-renew unless you cancel through your app store settings
- We do not issue refunds directly; refund requests must go through Apple or Google
- Deleting the app or your account does not cancel your subscription—you must do that in your store settings
Event Tickets via Third Parties
Some events listed in the app may link to third-party platforms like Eventbrite for registration or ticket purchases. These transactions are handled outside of What If. Please review the terms and refund policies of the ticketing platform before making a purchase. What If is not responsible for any issues related to third-party ticket sales.
7. Child Safety Policy
We are committed to protecting children from exploitation, abuse, and harm in all forms. Our app strictly prohibits any content or behavior that promotes, depicts, or facilitates child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE), including but not limited to:
7.1. Prohibited Content
- Any form of child sexual abuse material (CSAM).
- Any content that sexually exploits or endangers children.
- Any sexually suggestive content involving minors (real or simulated).
- Any content or communications that groom or solicit minors for sexual purposes.
7.2. Prohibited Conduct
- Users may not use our app to share, upload, post, or distribute CSAE content.
- Users may not use our app to contact minors for sexual purposes or any form of inappropriate behavior.
- Any attempts to misrepresent age or identity to interact with minors inappropriately will result in immediate termination and reporting.
7.3. Enforcement and Reporting
- We use a combination of automated systems and manual review to detect and remove CSAE content and activity.
- Violations of this policy will result in immediate account suspension or ban and may be reported to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and relevant law enforcement authorities.
7.4. User Reporting Tools
- Our app provides in-app tools for users to report any inappropriate behavior or content involving minors.
- Reports are reviewed promptly and action is taken in accordance with this policy and applicable law.
7.5. Commitment to Legal Compliance
- We comply with all applicable laws regarding child protection and cooperate fully with law enforcement agencies to investigate and prosecute violations related to CSAE.
8. Privacy
We take privacy seriously. Please read our Privacy Policy to understand how we collect, use, and protect your info. You can always request that we delete your data by contacting us at admin@whatifsocial.com.
9. Safety & Liability
We do not run background checks on users and cannot guarantee everyone's intentions. Please use common sense and caution when meeting people in real life.
You agree that you attend What If events at your own risk. We are not responsible for the actions of other users at events or during interactions off-platform.
10. Disputes & Legal Stuff
By using What If, you agree to resolve any disputes with us through binding arbitration, not in court. This includes waiving your right to a jury trial or joining a class action lawsuit.
Exceptions:
- You can bring a claim in small claims court
- You can still seek help for intellectual property violations or safety concerns
Illinois law governs this agreement. If a dispute ever needs to go to court (outside of arbitration), it must be filed in Cook County, Illinois.
11. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. If we do, we'll post the changes in the app or notify you by email. Your continued use of What If means you accept the new version.
