2. If you do not agree with any provision of these terms, you may not use the Platform or take part in any activity announced on it.

4Nature and limits of the platform's role

1. The Platform is a means of announcement and communication that lets Members announce their Meetups and get to know each other. Nothing more.
2. The Operator is not a transport company, a travel agency, a tour organizer, or a provider of transport services of any kind.
3. The Operator does not drive any vehicle, supervise the road, lead groups, set speeds, or direct Members while driving.
4. Meetups announced on the Platform are organized by Members in their personal capacity, not by the Operator, unless expressly stated otherwise in writing in the announcement of the Meetup itself.
5. The appearance of a Meetup on the Platform does not mean it has been checked, approved or recommended, nor does it guarantee any aspect of it.
6. No employment, agency, partnership or joint-venture relationship arises between the Operator and any Member or Organizer. Each Member acts on their own account and at their own responsibility.
7. Attending any Meetup is your own free personal decision, and your own judgement of whether it suits your abilities and your vehicle.

5Member responsibilities on the road

You, and you alone, are the driver responsible for your vehicle at every moment, whether you are in a Meetup announced on the Platform or not.

1. You must fully comply with the Qatari Traffic Law and its implementing regulations, and with the traffic laws of any country, emirate or area you pass through.
2. You must comply with speed limits, traffic signals, overtaking and right-of-way rules, and all instructions from police and traffic officers.
3. You must wear the helmet and safety equipment legally required for your type of vehicle, and ensure any passenger wears them too.
4. Before every ride you must check your vehicle's technical condition: tyres, brakes, lights, fuel level and fluids.
5. You must not drive under the influence of alcohol, drugs or any substance affecting perception or reaction, nor while too fatigued to drive safely.
6. You must not use the Platform or any activity announced on it for racing, speed challenges, stunts, or any act criminalised by law. A Meetup is not a race.
7. You are responsible for entering any private land or restricted or protected area, and you alone must obtain any required permit.
8. You may at any time, and indeed must, withdraw from any Meetup that you consider beyond your abilities or your vehicle's, or that breaks the law.

6Traffic violations and fines

1. You alone bear every fine, traffic point, vehicle impoundment, licence suspension, or any administrative or criminal penalty arising from your actions.
2. You alone bear responsibility for any accident you cause and its consequences, including material damage, bodily injury or death, to yourself and to others.
3. If a violation is issued, or a claim or lawsuit is brought, against the Operator or any Organizer because of an act of yours, you undertake to pay it in full and to compensate the Operator for everything it incurs, including legal fees and litigation costs.
4. The Operator bears no liability, whether civil, criminal or administrative, for Members' actions on the road, or for their failure to do what they were required to do.
5. The Operator may cooperate with official authorities and provide them with data it holds when requested, in accordance with the law.

7Acknowledgement of risk

By taking part in any Meetup or Ride, you expressly and knowingly acknowledge that:

1. Riding motorcycles and driving vehicles on public roads and on sand, mountain and rough tracks is inherently dangerous.
2. This activity involves risks including, without limitation, accidents, serious injury, permanent disability, death, and damage to vehicles and property.
3. These risks may arise from your actions or those of others, from road or weather conditions, from sudden vehicle failure, or from unforeseeable circumstances.
4. You accept these risks voluntarily and knowingly, and you take part at your own full personal responsibility.
5. You are responsible for insuring yourself and your vehicle with the coverage you consider sufficient, and the Operator provides you with no insurance coverage of any kind.

1. Respect other Members and road users, and avoid any aggressive or provocative behaviour.
2. Do not obstruct traffic, block the road, or drive in a formation that hinders traffic flow.
3. Do not photograph anyone or publish their image without their permission.
4. Stick to the announced meeting point and time, and inform the Organizer if you decide to withdraw during the ride.
5. The Platform is not a political or advertising platform; using it for any purpose outside its scope is prohibited.
6. Breaking these rules exposes your account to suspension or cancellation without prior notice and without compensation.

9Meetup organizers

If you create a Meetup and announce it on the Platform, you do so in your personal capacity and not on behalf of the Operator.

4. The Operator is not obliged to review Member content, and may remove any content at any time without notice.

2. The Operator does not guarantee that the Platform will always be available or free of errors or interruptions.
3. The Operator does not guarantee the accuracy of any route, map, distance or timing shown on the Platform, nor its suitability for actual use on the ground.
4. Location, navigation and tracking services are aids only and may fail or be wrong. Do not rely on them alone in any critical situation; they do not replace your attention on the road.
5. The Operator is not responsible for any act or omission of any Member, Organizer or third party.

12Indemnity

You undertake to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Operator, together with its directors, employees and agents, from and against every claim, lawsuit, fine, loss or expense (including legal fees) arising from or connected with any of the following:

• your breach of these terms or of any applicable law or regulation;
• your driving or use of your vehicle, and any accident or damage arising from it;
• any traffic violation or administrative or criminal penalty issued because of you;
• any content you published on the Platform;
• any Meetup you organized or took part in.

This obligation remains in force even if your account is closed or your relationship with the Platform ends.

13Limitation of liability

1. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Operator bears no liability for indirect or consequential damages, loss of profit, loss of data, or loss of opportunity.
2. The Operator's total liability to you, whatever its cause, is limited to the amounts you actually paid it during the twelve months preceding the event, or to a nominal amount of 1,000 (one thousand) Qatari riyals, whichever is lower.
3. These limits are an essential part of the agreement between you and the Operator, and without them the service would not be made available to you.

14Data and privacy

1. The Operator collects and processes your data in accordance with the privacy policy published on the Platform, which forms an integral part of these terms.

3. Live tracking services operate with your consent, and you may turn them off at any time.
4. The Operator undertakes to protect your data by reasonable means, but does not guarantee absolute, unbreachable security.

15Intellectual property

3. What you publish remains yours, subject to the licence set out in Section 10.

3. For material amendments, the Operator will endeavour to notify Members by an appropriate means before they take effect.

18General provisions

1. Severability: the invalidity of any provision does not affect the validity of the remaining provisions, and the invalid provision is replaced by a valid one closest to it in effect.
2. No waiver: the Operator's tolerance in not enforcing a right is not a waiver of that right.
3. Entire agreement: these terms, together with the privacy policy, constitute the entire agreement between the parties.
