Terms of Service
The short version: be a decent person, verify your UCSD email to get inside, check Discord for the real details on any event, and know that paid purchases (Exclusive Membership, event tickets) are final. The full terms are below.
Who this applies to
These terms cover anyone who uses the Socially Dead website or app, joins the members portal, or attends an event, meetup, or Discord community run by Socially Dead Social Club ("the Club"). Socially Dead is an independent, student-run community and is not an official UC San Diego organization or department.
The members portal
Access to event details, RSVP information, and the Discord invite is limited to people who verify a @ucsd.edu email address. We use that email only to confirm eligibility and, if you RSVP, comment, or post a community event, to keep a record that you did and to show your name to other members alongside that activity.
Your profile and posts
Your Instagram handle is required so other members can find and follow you (Apple/Google’s app-review demo account is the one exception); your profile photo and bio are optional. You’re responsible for what you post — a community event, a comment, a profile photo or bio — and for keeping it accurate and appropriate; we can remove any content that violates these terms. If you’ve been made a rep for a partnered club, posts you make on that club’s behalf are the club’s responsibility as well as your own.
Acceptable use
Don’t use the site, app, portal, or Discord to harass or endanger other members, misrepresent your identity or UCSD affiliation, submit spam or abusive content, attempt to circumvent rate limits or other abuse-prevention measures, or attempt to access the members portal without a valid @ucsd.edu account. We can remove access for anyone who violates these terms or a venue’s or Discord’s own rules — see our Privacy Policy for how that "blacklisting" works. If you report content to us, do so in good faith — knowingly false reports are themselves a violation of these terms.
Payments and purchases
Exclusive Membership and some event tickets are paid purchases, processed securely by Stripe at the price shown at checkout — we never see or store your card details. These are real-world memberships and event admissions, not digital content or in-app currency. All sales are final; we don’t offer refunds except at the Club’s own discretion (for example, an event that’s cancelled outright). Exclusive Membership runs through the end of the UCSD academic quarter(s) it covers and doesn’t auto-renew — you’re only ever charged when you actively choose to buy or extend it. The free shirt included with Exclusive Membership is sized to whatever you select after purchase and is subject to availability; we’ll do our best to get you the size you picked but can’t guarantee it if a size runs out.
Third-party links
"Our Perks" and some community event RSVP links point to external, third-party sites we don’t control. We’re not responsible for the content, availability, or practices of those sites once you leave ours.
No warranty
Event details (dates, times, locations) are provided as-is and may change or be cancelled without notice — always confirm details in the Discord before showing up. The site, app, and portal are provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, to the extent allowed by law.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms as the Club grows. Continued use of the site, app, or portal after a change means you accept the updated terms. Material changes will be reflected by updating the date below.
