Information and recommendations shared within We Belong are provided for general informational and networking purposes.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, We Belong does not provide legal, financial, medical, immigration, employment or other regulated professional advice.

Members are responsible for independently assessing advice, referrals, services, businesses and opportunities shared by other members.

Members interact with one another at their own discretion.

We Belong facilitates opportunities for connection but does not control every interaction between members and cannot guarantee the conduct, reliability, qualifications or intentions of individual members.

You are responsible for exercising appropriate judgment, maintaining personal boundaries and taking reasonable precautions when meeting people, sharing information or entering into arrangements arising from the community.

If you experience concerning behaviour, please contact us so we can consider appropriate action.

Additional terms, privacy policies, safety requirements or event conditions may apply to those services and activities.

We do not control third-party platforms and are not responsible for their independent operation, availability or data handling practices.

Event participation may be subject to separate registration requirements, fees, cancellation conditions or venue rules where applicable.

11. Membership Suspension or Termination

We may suspend or terminate membership or restrict access where we reasonably believe that a member has breached these Terms, violated the Community Guidelines, engaged in harmful conduct or created a material risk to the community.

Where appropriate, we may seek clarification, provide a warning or allow an opportunity to address the concern before taking action. However, immediate action may be necessary to protect members, address serious misconduct or comply with the law.

Members may leave the community at any time by contacting us or using the relevant account controls, where available.

Termination of membership does not automatically erase information that must be retained for legitimate or legal purposes. Our Privacy Policy explains how personal information is handled.
