Membership terms

1. Who we are

Bahrain Social Club ("the club", "we", "us") is a free social club based in the Kingdom of Bahrain. Our registered name is Bahrain Social Circle Company for Organizing Events, Marketing and Operating Web Portals W.L.L., with commercial registration (CR) number 131367-1. You can reach us at [email protected].

These terms are for members. When you tick their box on the membership form, you agree to them, along with the liability waiver and our terms of use. Our privacy policy explains what we do with your details.

2. Membership

• Membership is free. There's no fee to join and no fee to stay.
• It's for anyone 18 or over who lives in Bahrain. We check your date of birth when you sign up, and ask whether you live here.
• You're a member as soon as you confirm your email. Until then it's just a sign-up, and one that isn't confirmed within 7 days is deleted.
• You never need to be a member to come to our events, activities or hangouts, or to join our Discord. Membership doesn't give anyone special treatment, priority or a better spot. It's for bragging rights, updates if you want them, and showing us how big the club is getting.

3. Your account

• One account per person, in your own name. Please give accurate details, and keep them up to date on your account page.
• Keep your password to yourself, and pick one you don't use anywhere else. You're responsible for what happens in your account.
• Two-step login is optional. If you turn it on, keep your backup codes somewhere safe. Lost your phone and your codes? Email us from your account's email address, and we can send a link to that address that turns two-step login off.
• If you think someone else has got into your account, change your password and tell us.

4. Your member number

• You get your number when you confirm your email, in the order people confirm. It's yours, and it's never given to anyone else, even after you leave.
• It isn't a rank. A lower number only means you got here earlier.

5. Linking your Discord

• Linking your Discord account is optional. You do it from your account page by logging in with Discord, and we only read your Discord ID and username. We never see your Discord password or messages.
• Once it's linked, our Discord bot gives you the Club Member role in our server, usually within a minute. The role, and the CLUB MEMBER ticket on your /rank card, show everyone in the server that you're a member.
• The role is just for bragging rights. It doesn't open any channels or give anyone special treatment, and nobody hands it out by hand.
• You can unlink any time from your account page, and the role comes off within a minute. It also comes off if you delete your account.

6. Emails from us

• We send the emails your account needs: confirming your email, resetting your password, and a heads-up when something important changes, like your email, your password or two-step login.
• Club news, the Patron launch and merch drops only come if you ticked the box for them. You can change that any time on your account page.
• We never sell your email or use it for anyone else's marketing.

7. The rules that apply

Our terms of use and code of conduct apply to members like everyone else: at events, in the Discord and anywhere you represent the club.

8. Leaving, and being removed

• You can leave any time. Delete your account on your account page, or email us and we'll do it. Your details, agreements, email choices, Discord link and two-step login go straight away, and the Club Member role comes off within a minute. Your number is never given to anyone else.
• We may end a membership if someone breaks these terms, the terms of use or the code of conduct, gives false details, or isn't 18 or over. We'll tell you why, unless that would put someone at risk.
• Leaving, or having your membership ended, doesn't stop you coming to events or being in the Discord, unless you've been banned from those under the code of conduct.

9. Changes to these terms

If we change these terms, the liability waiver or the privacy policy in a way that matters, we'll tell members and ask you to agree to the new version, by email or on your account page. If you'd rather not, you can delete your account. The version at the top shows which one you're reading, and your account page shows the versions you agreed to.

10. Paid tiers

Patron is coming soon. It, and anything else that costs money, will have its own terms, which we'll show you before you sign up or pay anything. Membership itself is free.

11. Liability

Section 14 of our terms of use and the liability waiver cover liability. Nothing in these terms limits any liability that can't be limited under the laws of Bahrain.

12. Language and law

These terms are in English and Arabic. If the two ever differ, the English version applies. They're governed by the laws of the Kingdom of Bahrain, and the courts of Bahrain have jurisdiction over any dispute.
