These terms cover the public Social! website and the live browser app at /app. Joining our WhatsApp community does not create an app account. Guest website bookings use your name and email without an app account. Please also read our Privacy Policy, Community Rules and the participation rules shown before joining an event. Our Copyright page explains content ownership and permissions.
About Social!
Social! Oslo is an unregistered community based in Oslo, Norway, operated by Oscar Björn Karlsson. For questions about these terms or the service, contact contact.socialoslo@gmail.com.
Accounts and access
The browser app uses Google sign-in. You need a Google account, which does not have to use a Gmail address, and must provide a name and profile image to finish setup. Apple sign-in is not currently available. Keep your Google account secure and do not use another person’s account or impersonate them. Social! does not receive your Google password or access to your Gmail inbox through sign-in.
Some features may be unavailable, in development or limited to eligible members. We may restrict access where reasonably needed to protect members, address misuse or keep the service working. Contact us if you think a restriction was made in error.
Community conduct
Be respectful to other people. Do not harass, threaten, discriminate, spam, deceive or share someone else’s private information without permission. Follow the Community Rules and the rules of any event or external platform you choose to use.
We may review reports and remove content or limit an account when needed to address a credible safety concern or a breach of these rules. Decisions can be reviewed by contacting us.
Events, bookings and emails
Event creation is currently available to admins and members they authorise. That permission can be granted or withdrawn without deleting the member’s account. A draft is not a published event.
For events using website bookings, the host can share the public invitation link on any platform. Attendees must complete the booking through that Social! link. Selecting “Going” on WhatsApp, Meetup or another platform does not reserve a place for those events. Social! does not import registrations, replies or messages from other platforms. Events organised entirely on WhatsApp still use WhatsApp responses.
Green events are free to join, although you may pay for your own food, drinks or other personal purchases. Yellow events require payment, which may include a deposit returned when you attend. Read the event’s payment, cancellation and refund terms before booking; cancelling or not attending may mean you do not receive a refund. Paid website bookings are not open yet. Blue listings are information only: the person sharing the event is not its host, and the organiser’s own details explain prices and booking.
Green events can be joined without an app account: enter your first name and email and accept the participation rules. Booking emails provide the event details and a private link to view or cancel your booking. Keep this link private. A matching guest booking may be linked to your profile when you sign in with that verified email.
We send booking confirmations and cancellation emails, and schedule reminders 24 hours and 3 hours before the event for bookings made before each reminder is due. Hosts can also send event updates by email. These are service emails, not a marketing subscription. Delivery can be delayed or filtered, so check your booking and the current event details rather than relying only on email.
If you cannot attend, cancel your website booking or update your WhatsApp response. Follow any check-in instructions shown on your ticket. Attendance strikes and the former two-hour notice and ban rule have been removed. Attendance may still be recorded, and paid events follow their stated cancellation and refund terms. Community behaviour and respect rules remain in force. Contact us to request review of an incorrect attendance record.
Event hosts and participants are responsible for the plans they create or join and for following the event’s participation terms. Times, locations, capacity and availability can change; check the latest event information before travelling. Social! does not guarantee that an event, host, venue or independent partner will be available.
Hangouts and chats
Hangouts are temporary plans for getting together today. Members can create a Hangout or ask to join one. The host accepts or rejects requests; accepted participants can use its chat. Hosts can remove participants, end the Hangout or extend its remaining time in one-hour increments.
When the Hangout ends, it and its temporary chat are no longer available in the app. Do not use temporary chats as permanent storage. A feature closing or a message disappearing from view does not mean every stored copy has immediately been erased; see the Privacy Policy.
Chat availability depends on the feature and your access. Community chats may be locked while other chats remain available. Respect the privacy of conversations, and do not forward other people’s private messages, photos or contact details without a lawful reason.
Workouts, benefits and support
Log workouts honestly and follow the current challenge’s scoring and submission rules. Monthly competitions start a new scoring period each month; activities and challenges may vary. A scoring reset does not itself erase historical workout records. Admins can review and correct invalid or mistaken entries. This is a community activity feature, not medical advice or professional fitness supervision.
Real benefits are subject to the partner’s stated eligibility, hours and conditions. Show your own current member details when requested. Any offer marked “Demo” is a non-redeemable example.
Vipps and Stripe donations are not currently enabled in the app. An unavailable payment option does not take a payment or create a subscription. Any future payment feature will explain its terms before you pay.
Activity, suspension and deletion
We do not remove community members or suspend app access for inactivity. Attendance strikes have also been removed. Community conduct rules still apply, and access can be restricted for misconduct or safety reasons as described above.
Any account restriction for a separate reason remains in effect. Suspension is not account deletion.
To request deletion of an account or guest booking, email contact.socialoslo@gmail.com. You do not need to create an account to make a privacy request. After verification and resolution of any ownership issues, an admin can start deletion. The account is locked while automatic cleanup removes linked records, files and login information and verifies recorded booking-email cleanup. Provider processing and expiring upload links can delay completion.
Deleting your Social! account does not delete your Google account. Copies in recipients’ inboxes, screenshots, historical provider records, backups and other separately held material need different handling. We will explain any applicable retention exception, as described in the Privacy Policy.
Your content
You remain responsible for text, photos and other material you provide. Share only content you have the right to use, and respect the privacy and image rights of other people. You keep ownership of your original work; the limited permission needed for Social! to display it is described on the Copyright page.
Availability and responsibility
We aim to keep Social! useful and safe, but may change, pause or withdraw features. Changes to feature availability do not by themselves mean your account or data has been deleted. Independent event hosts, venues, benefit partners and external platforms provide their own services and may have separate terms.
Nothing here removes rights or remedies that applicable law gives you. To the extent permitted by law, Social! is not responsible for losses caused by an independent third party, inaccurate information supplied by another user or an interruption beyond our reasonable control.
Changes and contact
We may update these terms as Social! develops. The date above shows the current version. We will make material changes clear before they apply where appropriate. Norwegian law applies, without removing mandatory protections you may have under applicable law.
