These Terms of Use ("Terms", "Agreement", or "Terms of Use") govern your access to and use of the Assyrian Events website, platform, applications, event listings, organization profiles, communications, donation functionality, and related services (collectively, the "Services").
1. PURPOSE OF THE PLATFORM
Assyrian Events is a community information and event-discovery platform. Our primary purpose is to provide a place where users and organizations can discover and share information about events and community activities. Assyrian Events is not generally the organizer, producer, venue, host, sponsor, ticket seller, promoter, or operator of the events listed on the platform. Unless an event is expressly identified as being operated by Assyrian Events, Assyrian Events has no responsibility for the event itself.
2. ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS
By using the Services, you represent that you have the legal capacity to agree to these Terms, or you are using the Services with the involvement and permission of a parent or legal guardian where required by applicable law. If you are not legally capable of agreeing to these Terms, you may not use the Services except as permitted by applicable law and appropriate parental or guardian involvement.
3. CHANGES TO THESE TERMS
We may modify these Terms at any time. Updated Terms will be posted on the website with a revised "Last Updated" date. Your continued use of the Services after revised Terms become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms to the extent permitted by law.
4. EVENT SUBMISSIONS
Users and organizations may submit events for consideration. Submission does not guarantee publication. Assyrian Events may, in its sole discretion and to the extent permitted by law: approve an event, reject an event, edit an event, request additional information, delay publication, remove an event, mark an event as cancelled, mark an event as updated, suspend an organizer, limit submission privileges.
5. ORGANIZER RESPONSIBILITY
The person or organization submitting an event is solely responsible for the event and all related activities. Organizers are responsible for: accuracy of event information, obtaining required permits, obtaining venue authorization, obtaining licenses, insurance, safety, security, compliance with laws, compliance with venue requirements, ticket sales, registration, refunds, event staffing, food and beverage compliance, transportation, accessibility requirements, participant communications, event cancellation, event postponement, event changes, any claims arising from the event. Assyrian Events does not assume these responsibilities by publishing an event.
6. EVENT INFORMATION DISCLAIMER
Event information is provided by organizers, users, or other third parties. We do not guarantee that event information is accurate, complete, current, reliable, lawful, available, safe, or suitable for any particular person. Events can change or be cancelled without notice. Users should confirm important event details directly with the organizer before attending, purchasing tickets, traveling, or otherwise relying on event information.
7. EVENTS ARE THIRD-PARTY ACTIVITIES
You acknowledge that attending an event listed through Assyrian Events is a decision you make independently. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Assyrian Events is not responsible for any injury, illness, death, property damage, theft, loss, accident, criminal activity, negligence, misconduct, dispute, discrimination, harassment, cancellation, postponement, schedule change, venue change, ticket issue, registration issue, refund issue, food-related issue, transportation issue, weather-related issue, security issue, or other incident arising from or relating to an event, organizer, venue, participant, attendee, vendor, sponsor, performer, or other third party.
8. NO ENDORSEMENT
The publication of an event, organization, business, individual, sponsor, venue, or other entity on Assyrian Events does not necessarily mean that Assyrian Events endorses, sponsors, verifies, recommends, or is affiliated with that entity. Unless expressly stated otherwise, users should not interpret a listing as an endorsement.
9. NO GUARANTEE OF EVENT AVAILABILITY
We do not guarantee that an event will occur, that an event will not be cancelled, that tickets will be available, that registration will be available, that an organizer will respond, that the venue will be accessible, that an event will meet expectations, that an event will be safe, or that information will remain unchanged.
10. EVENT CANCELLATIONS AND CHANGES
Organizers should promptly update Assyrian Events regarding material changes. However, Assyrian Events cannot guarantee that changes will be received, reviewed, published, or communicated before a user relies on them. The organizer remains responsible for communicating changes to attendees.
11. TICKETS AND REGISTRATION
Assyrian Events may link users to third-party ticketing or registration services. Unless expressly stated otherwise, Assyrian Events is not the seller of tickets or registrations. We are not responsible for ticket availability, ticket pricing, fees, registration, refunds, cancellations, ticket delivery, fraud occurring through third-party services, or disputes between users and organizers. Any transaction involving tickets or registration may be governed by separate terms established by the organizer or third-party provider.
12. DONATIONS
Assyrian Events may provide a mechanism for voluntary donations. Donations may be processed through third-party payment processors. Unless explicitly stated otherwise: a donation to Assyrian Events is not a purchase of a ticket, event registration, product, or service. Assyrian Events does not represent that donations are tax-deductible unless Assyrian Events expressly states that such treatment applies and is legally entitled to make that representation. Donation receipts may be provided for recordkeeping purposes. Users are responsible for determining their own tax treatment.

35. IMPORTANT LEGAL NOTICE
These Terms are intended to establish the respective responsibilities of Assyrian Events, event organizers, users, and third parties and to limit Assyrian Events' liability to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

Assyrian Events should operate consistently with these Terms and should not make representations to users that conflict with them.
