Terms and Conditions
Blue Badgers Host Guidelines
1. Application, Eligibility & Identity Verification
- Application & Authority: To become an approved Host on BB Events, you must complete Blue Badgers' Host application, providing accurate information about yourself or your business/charity/organisation, the types of Events you wish to run, and your legal authority to represent your organisation.
- Vetting Tiers & Safeguarding Checks: Blue Badgers may request identity verification, Public Liability Insurance (PLI) certificates, qualifications/accreditations, and — depending on the nature of Events (e.g. Events aimed at or likely to include children or vulnerable adults) — evidence of an appropriate Enhanced DBS check or equivalent.
- Sole Discretion of Approval: Approval as a Host is at Blue Badgers' reasonable discretion. We may approve, reject, suspend, or withdraw Host status to protect community safety and platform integrity.
- Non-Employment Relationship: Approval as a Host does not make you an employee, agent, partner, joint venturer, or representative of Blue Badgers. Blue Badgers provides an intermediary technology platform facilitating event discovery, listing, and attendance management.
2. Core Host Responsibilities & Equality Act 2010
- Legal & Safety Compliance: As a Host, you must comply with all applicable laws, including health and safety, licensing, consumer protection, and statutory safeguarding obligations.
- Reasonable Adjustments: Hosts must consider and implement reasonable adjustments for disabled Attendees in line with obligations under the Equality Act 2010, fostering an inclusive, welcoming, and dignified environment.
- Accurate Information: You agree to maintain accurate, complete, and current profile information, contact numbers, and designated event coordinators.
3. Data Protection & Attendee Personal Data
- Purpose Limitation: You must only use Attendees' personal data (including any access, dietary, medical, or support information disclosed) solely for the purpose of planning and running the specific Event.
- Security & No Direct Marketing: Hosts must keep all Attendee data strictly confidential and secure, and must NOT use it for direct marketing, newsletter distribution, or share it with any third party without explicit, separate consent.
4. Acts, Omissions, Negligence & Account Termination
- Acts, Omissions & Negligence: The Host is responsible for their own acts, omissions, and negligence in planning and delivering their Event.
- Suspension & Ending Host Status: Blue Badgers may suspend or terminate Host accounts for breach of terms or safety concerns. Hosts may stop hosting at any time but must honour, transfer, or fully refund confirmed bookings for already-published Events.
