2. SERVICE DESCRIPTION
We provide an online Platform for Service Providers to access Members and for Members to access Promotions. Service Providers submit Promotion requests to The Secret Society, which are actioned internally.
Requests are processed on a first-come-first-serve basis, at the sole discretion of The Secret Society. We may reject requests deemed unserviceable, inappropriate, or harmful to our reputation. Confirmation is usually given within 24 hours, subject to clarifications.
Once accepted, Members are invited to avail Promotions. Members must attend on time, dress appropriately, and conduct themselves professionally.
The Secret Society acts solely as a marketplace connecting Members (including content creators, influencers, socialites, and models) with Service Providers offering Promotions. While we facilitate access to such Promotions, it is the sole responsibility of the Member or Service Provider to ensure compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, and licensing requirements in the jurisdiction where they operate, including but not limited to, permits, visas, work authorization, and any other documentation necessary to legally provide or avail of the Promotions. The Secret Society assumes no responsibility or liability for any legal or regulatory obligations of Members or Service Providers.
3. CREATING AN ACCOUNT
You must provide accurate information when creating an account. Updates may be required to ensure correctness. Supporting documentation may be requested.
All interactions must remain professional. Service Providers may provide feedback, including timeliness, conduct, social media posts, and overall performance.
You must comply with applicable laws, not infringe intellectual property, and not post offensive, illegal, or inappropriate content.
Keep login credentials secure. Do not share accounts or create multiple accounts. You remain responsible for all activity associated with your account.
Complaints may be submitted in writing at contact@the-secret-society.com.
Upon account creation, your profile may include a photo, Instagram link, age, email, phone number, and other necessary information. We may share such information as required.
Account creation must be approved by The Secret Society. We reserve the right to reject applications without explanation.
4. DATA PROTECTION & PRIVACY
Your use of our Platform is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal data. By using our Platform, you agree to the terms of the Privacy Policy.
5. EXCLUSIONS OF LIABILITY
Members and Service Providers acknowledge that Promotions are agreements directly between them. The Secret Society is not responsible for the quality, availability, or conduct related to Promotions.
Use of the Platform for prostitution or any illegal activity is strictly prohibited. Breaches may result in account suspension and reporting to authorities.
Members and Service Providers are independent contractors; The Secret Society has no control or responsibility over them. Indemnification applies as per original clauses.
You agree to hold The Secret Society harmless for any liability, damages, claims, costs, losses, or expenses arising from your actions in relation to Promotions or these Terms.
6. NON-CIRCUMVENTION
Members and Service Providers are encouraged to conduct all interactions and transactions through The Secret Society Platform to ensure transparency and fairness for all parties.
We recommend that Service Providers do not bypass the Platform to engage Members directly, and Members do not engage in Promotions outside the Platform, in order to maintain the integrity of our network and community.
While we do not impose legal restrictions under this clause, we reserve the right to review accounts that appear to bypass the Platform and to take appropriate action if such behavior affects the quality and trust of our network.
7. PAYMENT
We only provide a Platform whereby Members can have access to Promotions offered by Service Providers. The Promotion will be provided pursuant to the Service Provider’s terms and conditions, including but not limited to the Service Provider’s cancellation policy, payment terms, terms of liability etc. (as applicable).
If you are a Service Provider, you will need to buy a subscription from us in order to submit Promotion requests to the Secret Society. The Service Provider shall have the option of purchasing and paying for their subscription on a monthly, bi-yearly or yearly basis at the prices provided with each payment option upon subscribing. Fees shall be non-refundable.
Payments shall be made through a credit card the Service Provider registers with its account (via a secure connection provided by one of our third-party payment providers). Subscription payments shall be authorized to proceed automatically in accordance with the subscription payment package the Service Provider has chosen. If your credit card is expired or otherwise invalid and payment is not able to be made, you will not be able to accept a request for a booking until such time as payment has been successfully made. We reserve our right to delete any account which remains unused and unpaid for.
Subscription payments are non-refundable; however, you may cancel your subscription at any time upon written notice to us, respecting the applicable notice period.
8. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
As between you and The Secret Society, all intellectual property rights, including copyrights, patents, trademarks, and trade secrets (collectively, “Intellectual Property”), in our Platform and its content are owned by, and shall remain the property of, The Secret Society or its third-party suppliers (if applicable). Nothing in these Terms and Conditions, nor your access to or use of our Platform or the Promotions, transfers to you or any third party any rights, title, or interest in such Intellectual Property, except for the limited access rights expressly set forth in clause 1.3 above.
