12. Platform Code of Conduct

You agree to follow the Platform Code of Conduct at all times when you are using our platform.

12.1 Community Code of Conduct

Respect all members

Lived is made up of a very diverse community of members. This means it’s important to respect other people’s beliefs, interests and goals while on Lived. Lived takes a strong stance against disrespectful, rude or abusive behaviour, bullying, and bigotry. You should behave the same way to others on Lived as you would expect to be treated in real life. Additionally, we encourage all of our members to report anyone who does not follow these behavioural guidelines. As a community rooted in kindness, support and respect, we expect all of our users to respect each other, themselves, and the Lived team.

Do not disclose private information about other members

Lived is dedicated to creating the most inclusive and safe space to give and get support. This means: What is shared on Lived, stays on Lived. You should always protect the identity of other members or any of their activity, whether on the Lived platform or in the broader community. This includes, but is not limited to, another member’s name, age, location, gender, profession, and/or any other possible identifying details of their personal story. 

Respect other member’s paths

Everyone’s relationship with alcohol is personal and unique, and for that reason, there is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach that works for everyone. At Lived, we believe in helping people to find the path that works for them—and that progress is always more important than perfection. It’s important that everyone feels supported on their path towards progress, regardless of their pace, goal or set-backs. Please honor your path while respecting the path of others, by refraining from criticism and judgement. And please do not attempt to push your method or approach, as being the ‘only’ way to achieve a personal goal.

Don’t do anything illegal on our platform

Illegal activity will not be tolerated on Lived. This may result in being banned or restricted from the platform, and/or being reported to the authorities.

No soliciting

Lived isn’t for selling things, it’s for learning and connection. If you try to use it as a marketplace, you will be banned.

Community monitoring

We use a combination of automated systems and a team of moderators to monitor and review accounts and messages for content that indicates breaches of these Guidelines and our Terms and Conditions. If you don’t follow these guidelines, you’ll receive a warning (unless our team decides to block or restrict access without warning at our discretion). If you ignore this warning, you risk losing your account. These guidelines are designed to make Lived a friendly and safe place for all our users. If you do come across any behavior that is in violation of of these terms, please contact: [email protected]

In simple terms

We are proud of our platform’s Code of Conduct – it sets out clear rules for everybody to follow. Let us know if you would like to discuss our code with us.

13. No professional medical or healthcare advice

You agree that the website, our platform and the Content do not constitute professional medical or healthcare advice, diagnosis or recommendation of treatment and are not intended to, nor should be used to, replace professional medical advice. In no circumstances should any Content be relied upon without independent consideration and confirmation by a qualified medical practitioner.

Lived makes no representations or warranties with respect to any treatment, action, suitability or application of medication or preparation by any person whether based on the Content or not. In no circumstances will Lived be liable for any direct, indirect, consequential, special, exemplary or other damages arising therefrom.

In simple terms

We are not doctors or healthcare providers, and we do not pretend to be. You should seek independent medical advice if you are looking for medical treatment, action or medication.

14. Suspension and termination

We reserve the right to restrict, suspend or terminate without notice your access to our platform, any Content, or any feature of our platform at any time without notice and we will not be responsible for any loss, cost, damage or liability that may arise as a result.

In simple terms

We need the right to remove users, if they do the wrong thing.

15. Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, including the Australian Consumer Law, in no event shall we be liable for any direct and indirect loss, damage or expense – irrespective of the manner in which it occurs – which may be suffered due to your use of our website, our platform and/or the information or materials contained on them, or as a result of the inaccessibility of this website, our platform and/or the fact that certain information or materials contained on them are incorrect, incomplete or not up-to-date.

In simple terms

We take care in how our platform operates, but (to the extent permitted by law) you are responsible for what occurs on the platform.

16. Subscriptions

We offer subscriptions with Lived enabling you to use certain services provided through our platform (Subscription). Payment for each Subscription is governed by these Terms.

We reserve the right to change our Subscription plans and  may change the pricing terms of our Subscription plans from time to time. If we do change our Subscription plans, we will provide you with an advance notice before the change comes into effect (any changes made won’t affect the price for any Subscription you have already paid for or paid for in advance).

We may also offer promotional offers and special discounts from time to time, which may be subject to separate terms and conditions.

17. Payments

You can pay for Subscriptions by using a valid credit card or other approved payment method on the Lived platform.

All costs are in United States Dollars (USD) unless otherwise indicated. Please note that your credit card provider may charge you a currency conversion or similar fee to pay in USD.

If your payment is declined (for example, because of incorrect payment details or insufficient funds) and you do not correct the issue within five days (or cancel your account), we may suspend your access to the Lived platform or cancel your account until payment has been received.

You remain responsible for any outstanding payments owing to us and you authorise us to charge any outstanding payments to your updated payment method.

18. Third party payment services

We may use a third-party payment service provider in the processing of payments. You may be requested to agree to additional terms between you and the third-party payment service provider in order to use that third-party payment service provider.

19. Automatic renewal and cancellation

Unless you cancel or opt-out of automatic renewal of your Subscription before the expiry of your Subscription, you will be charged for a renewed Subscription (and you authorise us to charge you for this renewal using the payment method you have provided).

You may cancel your Subscription at any time (this includes when you don’t agree to a change to a Subscription plan). You can request that your account be terminated in the ‘Settings’ section of your account, by contacting us at [email protected]. If you purchase your Subscription through a third-party app provider (e.g Apple App Store) you can cancel your Subscription any time with that third-party app provider.

After cancellation, you will continue to have access to our platform for the remainder of your Subscription period. You will not receive a refund for the Subscription period. 

If you are dissatisfied with our services for any reason, please contact us at [email protected].

20. Change of mind

Please order carefully. Significant time, effort and resources are involved in making our platform and services available to you and to the extent permitted by law (including the Australian Consumer Law) we do not offer refunds or credits for unused subscription periods, accidental purchases, change of mind, failure to cancel automatic renewal of your subscription, or any other reason or event.

However, your satisfaction is important to us. Again, if you are dissatisfied with our services for any reason, please contact us at [email protected].
