Compliance

1. Who we are

TheGather, Inc. is a Delaware corporation founded in the United States, with its registered address at 2810 North Church Street, Wilmington, DE 19802 (“we”, “us”). We operate orriven. Sanctions, export-control and anti-boycott rules that apply to us also apply to anyone who uses the Services.

This statement sits alongside our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Where applicable law requires us to refuse, suspend or end access, that requirement prevails.

2. Non-discrimination

We do not discriminate on the basis of race, colour, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sex, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, disability, veteran or military status, pregnancy, citizenship (except as applicable law requires), or any other status protected by applicable law.

That applies to:

• how we hire, pay and treat people who work with us;
• whether we offer the Services to an organization, and how we support it once it is a customer;
• how we treat Users, Attendees and other people who use orriven.

We make reasonable accommodations required by law. Nothing in this section requires us to provide the Services where doing so would violate applicable law, including the trade-control rules in the next sections. Screening and refusing a sanctioned country, person or entity is a legal obligation, not discrimination.

3. Sanctions, export controls and restricted parties

We comply with applicable economic sanctions and export-control rules, including those administered by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) and the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security (the EAR), and with other trade-control, anti-terrorism and anti-boycott laws that apply to us.

We do not provide the Services — including accounts, organization licences, hosted pages, payments tooling, APIs, or support — to, in, or for the benefit of:

• any country, region or territory that is comprehensively sanctioned under those rules;
• any government, instrumentality, entity or person on an applicable restricted-party list, or any party owned 50 percent or more, in the aggregate, by one or more such persons;
• any customer, event, payment, integration or other use that would cause us to violate those rules.

The applicable lists are maintained by the relevant authorities and change over time. We follow them as they stand. We do not publish a country or entity roster of our own.

4. Armed conflict, military end-use and hostile actors

We refuse to provide the Services where they would be used to organise, finance, promote or otherwise support:

• armed conflict, acts of war, or military operations in a manner prohibited by applicable law;
• a government, armed group, entity or person designated in connection with armed conflict, terrorism, weapons proliferation or human-rights abuse;
• a military end-use or military end-user restricted under applicable export-control rules;
• events, fundraising, logistics or communications run for the benefit of any of the above.

We may also refuse an engagement when the customer, its beneficial owners, the event, or the jurisdictions involved are so closely tied to an active armed conflict that providing the Services would, in our judgement, put us in breach of applicable law or of this statement.

5. Who this applies to

These restrictions apply to Customers, Users, Organizers, Attendees (where we can identify them), developers, resellers and anyone else who uses the Services, and to the events and transactions they run on orriven. They apply to companies, public bodies, non-profits, individuals and beneficial owners.

You must not:

• access or use the Services from a comprehensively sanctioned country or territory, or while ordinarily resident there;
• invite, invoice, pay, or collect Event Data for a restricted party, or run an event for their benefit;
• conceal location, ownership, control or the true purpose of an event in order to evade these rules;
• ask us to take part in a boycott that applicable anti-boycott law forbids.

Organizers remain responsible for their events and for the people they admit. If an Organizer uses orriven to serve a restricted jurisdiction, person or military purpose, that is a breach of the Terms of Service.

6. Screening, refusal and termination

We may screen registrations, orders, payouts and support requests against applicable restricted-party lists and other compliance information. We may ask for ownership, location, event-purpose or end-use details before we onboard a customer or keep an account open.

We may refuse to do business, decline an order, restrict features (including payments), suspend a tenant, or terminate an account, with or without prior notice, where we reasonably believe that providing the Services would violate applicable law or this statement. Where the law requires us to block access, fees already paid are not refunded unless an order form or the law says otherwise.

We do not have to give a detailed reason when the law, or the safety of our staff, prevents it.

7. Changes

We may update this statement when the law or our practice changes. We post the new version on this page with a new “last updated” date. The current sanctions and export-control lists always control, even before this page is edited.
