Terms

These Terms govern milkandcereal.co and any other site, form, messaging program, or service we operate (the "Services"), membership on the Milk & Cereal Guest List, and attendance at our events. Milk & Cereal is operated by Milk & Cereal LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Milk & Cereal," "we," "us," "our"). By requesting an invite, joining the Guest List, buying a ticket, RSVPing, attending an event, or using the Services, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy.

Section 17 contains a binding arbitration agreement and a class action waiver. They affect how disputes between you and us are resolved. You can opt out of arbitration within 30 days as described there.

1. Eligibility

You must be 21 or older to use the Services, join the Guest List, or attend our events. By doing any of those things, you confirm that you are.

2. The Guest List

Requesting an invite is a request, not a purchase. We review applications and may approve, deny, waitlist, or remove anyone at our sole discretion, at any time, without giving a reason.

Being on the Guest List means you receive invitations and, sometimes, early access. It does not guarantee a ticket, free entry, or entry to any event. Most events are ticketed, and Guest List members buy tickets like everyone else.

Membership is personal to you. You may not transfer, sell, or share it, or any invite link, code, or access that comes with it.

Give us accurate information and keep it current. We may deny or remove anyone who misrepresents who they are.

Membership has no cash value and does not create any ownership, partnership, agency, or employment relationship.

3. Tiers, Scores, and Perks

We may assign Guest List members and attendees tiers, levels, scores, ratings, and labels, and we may keep more than one for each person. They can reflect applications, RSVPs, attendance, no-shows, late cancellations, referrals, ticket, table, and merch purchases, sponsorships, conduct, and engagement with our messages and community.

We use them to decide who is invited, when, and to what, and to allocate access, priority, perks, and offers. They are internal tools. We may create, change, reset, or discontinue them at any time, and we are not required to disclose or explain them. You have no right to any particular score, tier, or benefit. Perks have no cash value, cannot be transferred, and may end at any time.

4. Referrals and Plus-Ones

If you refer someone or give us information about a guest, you confirm you have their permission to share it with us. We will not send marketing text messages to anyone you refer unless they opt in themselves. Where we offer referral perks, we decide whether a referral qualifies.

5. Communications

5.1 Email. By joining the Guest List, you agree to receive emails from us about invitations, events, music releases, merch, and other updates. You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time using the link in any email. We may still send you service emails about your application, tickets, orders, or these Terms.

5.2 Text Messages: the Milk & Cereal SMS Program.

• Program name: Milk & Cereal.
• If you opt in, you will receive recurring automated marketing and informational text messages (SMS, MMS, and RCS) from Milk & Cereal at the mobile number you provide. These include party invitations, event updates and reminders, ticket and guest list information, music releases, merch, and other promotions from Milk & Cereal. Messages may be sent using automated technology.
• Consent is not a condition of joining the Guest List, attending an event, or buying anything.
• Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply.
• Reply STOP to cancel at any time. You may receive one final message confirming your opt-out. Replying QUIT, END, CANCEL, UNSUBSCRIBE, REVOKE, or OPT OUT, or telling us by any other reasonable means, also works.
• Reply HELP for help, or email info@milkandcereal.co.
• Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
• You confirm you are the account holder or an authorized user of the number you provide. If you change or give up that number, tell us so we don't text the next person who has it.
• We send text messages through service providers such as Klaviyo and Twilio. See our Privacy Policy for how we handle your information. We do not share mobile numbers or text message consent with third parties for their marketing.

5.3 WhatsApp and other messaging apps. If you opt in to receive messages from Milk & Cereal on WhatsApp, or you message us there first, we may send you invitations, event updates, and promotions on WhatsApp. If you contact us, or give us your handle, on Instagram or another messaging or social app, we may reply and send you event information there. You can stop messages on any app by replying STOP, telling us, or blocking us. Each app's own terms and privacy policy also apply.

5.4 Service messages. We may contact you through any channel you have given us about your application, tickets, orders, event changes, safety, or these Terms.

5.5 Each channel is separate. Opting out of one channel does not opt you out of the others. To stop all marketing from us, email info@milkandcereal.co.

6. Tickets, Tables, and Purchases

Tickets are sold through third-party platforms such as Luma and Partiful, or directly by us. The platform you buy through handles checkout, and its terms and refund policy also apply.

All sales are final unless we cancel an event outright or the law requires otherwise. If we cancel an event outright, we will arrange a refund of the face value through the platform you bought from. A change of venue, date, time, or lineup is not a cancellation. We are not responsible for travel, lodging, or any other costs you incur.

Tickets admit one person unless the listing says otherwise. A ticket does not guarantee entry (see Section 7). The name on your ticket must match your ID.

Table and VIP reservations are subject to the deposit, minimum, and inclusions described at purchase, and to the venue's policies.

Do not resell or transfer tickets above face value. We may cancel resold or transferred tickets without refund.

Merch orders are subject to the terms shown at checkout. Sponsorships and partnerships are governed by separate written agreements.

7. At Our Events

We may refuse entry to anyone, or ask anyone to leave, at any time, for any reason, without refund.

You must be 21 or older and present valid government-issued photo ID at the door.

Venues set their own rules on capacity, dress, ID, bag checks, security, and closing time. Those apply on top of ours.

Harassment, aggression, discrimination, unwanted touching or attention, recording people who have asked not to be recorded, illegal drugs, weapons, and anything else that makes other guests uncomfortable are not allowed. Breaking these rules can get you removed from the event and from the Guest List. We may share the fact of a removal and the reason for it with venues, security, and other event organizers to keep guests safe.

We are not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged property.

8. Assumption of Risk and Release

Our events involve loud music that can affect hearing, strobe and flashing lights that can affect people with photosensitive conditions, low light, crowds, dancing, alcohol served by venues, and the conduct of other guests. You attend voluntarily and at your own risk.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you release Milk & Cereal and its members, managers, contractors, co-hosts, and partners from any claim arising from your attendance at an event, except claims caused by their gross negligence or willful misconduct.

9. Photography, Video, and Likeness

We photograph, film, and record our events. By attending, you consent to being photographed, filmed, and recorded, and you grant Milk & Cereal a perpetual, worldwide, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use, edit, and share your image, likeness, and voice from those recordings in any media, including social media, advertising, and promotional and commercial material, without payment or approval.

If you'd rather not appear, tell us at the door or email info@milkandcereal.co. We will make reasonable efforts to honor that, but we cannot guarantee it for crowd shots or content already published.

You may not record DJ performances for commercial use or rebroadcast without our written permission.

10. Your Content

If you send us, or tag us in, photos, video, or other content, you keep ownership. You grant us a non-exclusive, perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, edit, and share it, with credit where practical. You confirm you have the rights to grant this license.

11. Our Content and Marks

The Milk & Cereal name, logos, music, recordings, visuals, and site content belong to us or our licensors. You may not use them without our written permission.

12. Acceptable Use

Do not scrape the Services, use bots, submit false or duplicate applications, resell access, impersonate anyone, or interfere with the Services or anyone else's use of them.

13. Third-Party Platforms

We use third-party platforms for ticketing, payments, messaging, and other functions. Their terms and privacy policies apply to your use of them, and we are not responsible for their acts or omissions.

14. Disclaimers

The Services and events are provided "as is" and "as available." To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied.

15. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Milk & Cereal is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits or data, arising from the Services, the Guest List, or any event.

Our total liability to you for any claim is limited to the greater of the amount you paid for the ticket or purchase the claim relates to, or $50.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else the law does not allow us to limit.

16. Indemnity

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Milk & Cereal and its members, managers, contractors, and partners from claims, losses, and costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising from your conduct at an event, your content, or your breach of these Terms.

17. Dispute Resolution, Arbitration, and Class Action Waiver

Informal resolution first. Before starting arbitration or a lawsuit, you and we agree to try to resolve the dispute informally for 60 days. Send notice with your name, contact information, and a description of the dispute to info@milkandcereal.co. We will send notice to the email we have for you.

Binding arbitration. Any dispute arising from or relating to these Terms, the Services, the Guest List, any event, or any message we sent you, including claims under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by JAMS under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Consumer Minimum Standards. The Federal Arbitration Act governs this section. The arbitration will take place in Los Angeles County, California, or by video. The arbitrator decides questions about the scope and enforceability of this agreement to arbitrate.

Exceptions. Either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court, and either party may seek an injunction in court to protect its intellectual property.

Class action waiver. You and we may bring claims only on an individual basis, not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate claims or award relief to anyone other than the individual party.

Public injunctive relief. A claim for public injunctive relief will be decided by a court in Los Angeles County after individual claims are arbitrated, and is stayed in the meantime.

Mass filings. If 25 or more similar demands are filed against us by the same or coordinated counsel, they will be administered in batches of up to 25, and the parties will negotiate arbitration fees in good faith.

Opt-out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement within 30 days of first agreeing to these Terms by emailing info@milkandcereal.co with your name, email, and a statement that you opt out of arbitration.

Severability. If the class action waiver is found unenforceable for a claim, that claim will proceed in court, not arbitration.

18. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, and by the Federal Arbitration Act. Any claim not subject to arbitration will be brought in the state or federal courts in Los Angeles County, California, and you consent to their jurisdiction.

19. Removal and Termination

We may suspend or end your Guest List membership or your access to the Services at any time. Sections 3, 8 through 11, and 14 through 20 survive.

20. Changes and General Terms

We may update these Terms. We will change the date at the top when we do, and we will notify you directly of material changes. Continuing to use the Services or attend events after an update means you accept it. Changes to Section 17 will not apply to disputes already pending.

These Terms and our Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us about their subject. If any part is unenforceable, the rest stays in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. We may assign these Terms; you may not. Beyond the refunds described in Section 6, we are not liable for delays or cancellations caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including weather, venue closures, government orders, or public health emergencies.
