Our Terms of Service, including the policies and guidelines that are part of the Terms of Service, and our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, contain important information, and will help you have a great experience. Please review them carefully.
Our Terms of Service describes the legal rights and responsibilities of Meetup and you in connection with our Platform, and covers areas such as automatic subscription renewals, limitations of liability, resolution of disputes by mandatory arbitration rather than a judge or jury in a court of law, and a class action waiver.
