Terms of use

Synode brings together events from technology clubs and communities. Teams belong to organizations, and an organization approves its teams and their events before they are published. Finding, browsing and attending events on Synode is free.

• You sign in with Google or your organization's single sign-on.
• Keep access to your account secure; you're responsible for what it's used for.
• Admin roles are given by the organization or team you act for. Use them only on their behalf, and turn on two-factor authentication when asked.

Each event links to its organiser's own registration page. Synode doesn't take registrations, sell tickets or collect payments for events. The organiser is responsible for their event, its registration, any fee and what happens on the day.

• Publish accurate information. If you don't know a detail yet, leave it empty — don't guess.
• Link only to your own, genuine registration page.
• Keep events up to date, and cancel events that won't happen.
• Respect the visibility you choose: organization-only and team-only events are for those members.
• Use member information only to run your team or organization.

• Post misleading, fraudulent, hateful or illegal content, or spam.
• Impersonate a person, team or organization.
• Try to get around access controls, plan limits or rate limits, or disrupt the service.
• Collect other people's data from the platform without their permission.

Anyone can report an event. Platform administrators may unpublish content, suspend teams or organizations, or close accounts that break these terms.

Teams and organizations own what they publish. By publishing it, you allow Synode to display it, include it in calendar feeds, embeds and the public API, and send it in emails to people who asked for them.

• Organizations choose a plan. Plans set limits on teams, events and admins; students are never limited.
• Paid plans are paid in advance through PayHere. Each payment covers one billing period; renew it to keep the plan.
• If an organization goes over its plan, existing teams and events stay, but new ones are refused until it upgrades.

We work to keep Synode available and accurate, but it is provided as it is. Event information comes from organisers, and we aren't responsible for events, external registration pages or other sites we link to. To the extent the law allows, we aren't liable for indirect losses from using the service.

How we handle personal data is described in the privacy policy.

We may update these terms; the date at the top shows the latest version, and continuing to use Synode means you accept it. These terms are governed by the laws of Sri Lanka. Questions go to sithum.raigamage.dev@gmail.com.
