Welcome to Deep Movement Collective ("DMC", "we", "us" or "our").

If you are using the Services on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have authority to accept these Terms on its behalf.

  • Provide accurate and complete information when you create an account and during onboarding.
  • Comply with these Terms and any additional policies we share with you (such as our Privacy Policy and Community Guidelines).

  • WhatsApp or mobile number

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login details and for all activity that happens under your account. Notify us immediately if you believe your account has been compromised.

3.2 Waitlisted and supported cities

DMC activates cities in stages.

If your city is supported, you may proceed through full onboarding and, once you subscribe, become eligible for monthly matching.

If your city is not yet supported, you may join the waitlist. You will not be billed or matched until your city is activated and you choose a subscription plan.

We may change which cities are supported or when they are activated at our discretion.

4. Membership, subscriptions and billing

DMC is a paid membership service. Pricing and plans may differ by country or currency.

4.1 Plans

We currently offer:

  • Monthly membership
  • Quarterly membership
  • Yearly membership

Details of pricing, currency, and any trial or promotional offers are shown at checkout and may change from time to time.

4.2 Billing and Stripe

Payments are processed via Stripe or other third party payment processors that we may use from time to time.

By starting a subscription, you authorise us and our payment processors to charge the applicable fees to your chosen payment method on a recurring basis in line with your selected plan.

4.3 Auto renewal

All plans automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless you cancel before the renewal date.

  • Monthly plans renew each month.
  • Quarterly plans renew every 3 months.
  • Yearly plans renew each year.

You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time in your account dashboard or via the method indicated in your confirmation emails.

4.4 Cancellations and refunds

If you cancel, your membership continues until the end of your current billing period and then will not renew.

We generally do not offer refunds for partial periods, unused match cycles, or missed meetups.

If we materially fail to provide the Services you paid for, please contact us and we will review your case fairly.

Certain consumer rights may give you additional protections depending on your country. These Terms do not limit any rights that cannot be limited by law.

4.5 Failed payments and past due accounts

If a payment fails:

  • Your subscription may enter a "past due" state while our processor retries payment.
  • If payment is not successfully collected after a reasonable period, we may suspend or cancel your membership and your eligibility to be matched in upcoming cycles.
  • You remain responsible for any amounts owed.

5. What DMC provides

DMC provides:

  • A digital platform where you can create a profile, share your goals, interests, and preferences.
  • A matchmaking engine that, on a periodic basis, groups eligible members in the same city into small groups for offline meetups.
  • A member dashboard to view your matches, update your details, and manage your subscription.

We do not guarantee:

  • That you will be matched every cycle, especially if there are not enough compatible members in your city, or if your preferences are very specific.
  • Any particular business outcome, friendship, partnership, investment, or personal result.
  • That all members will behave in line with our guidelines, although we work to uphold community standards.

6. Meetups and movement activities

DMC's core experience involves movement based offline meetups (for example, walks, hikes, runs, yoga, or other light activity) facilitated through our platform.

6.1 You participate at your own risk

By taking part in any DMC related meetups or activities, you acknowledge and agree that:

  • Physical activity carries inherent risks, including risk of injury or death.
  • Outdoor and urban environments carry risks, such as uneven terrain, weather conditions, traffic, and interactions with third parties.
  • You are solely responsible for assessing your own physical and mental fitness to participate.
  • You will consult a medical professional before joining if you have any concerns or health conditions.
  • You participate voluntarily and at your own risk.
  • DMC does not provide medical, fitness, or mental health advice and is not a healthcare provider.

6.2 Personal responsibility and safety

You agree to:

  • Use common sense, act responsibly, and respect local laws and regulations.
  • Bring appropriate clothing, footwear, hydration, and equipment for the planned activity.
  • Inform your group of any health considerations they should be aware of if you choose to share them.
  • Immediately stop participating if you feel unwell, unsafe, or uncomfortable.

DMC is not responsible for transportation to or from meetups, personal belongings, or any damage or loss that arises during your travel or participation.

7. Community standards and member conduct

DMC is built for depth, trust, and real human connection. To protect that, you agree that you will not:

  • Harass, bully, threaten, or abuse any other member, online or offline.
  • Discriminate against or demean others based on race, gender, sexuality, religion, nationality, disability, or any other protected characteristic.
  • Engage in sexual harassment or unwanted romantic pressure toward other members.
  • Use DMC events or the platform primarily to pitch, spam, or aggressively sell products, services, investments, or recruitment opportunities (including multi level marketing, get rich quick schemes, or similar).
  • Record, photograph, or share another member's personal stories, experiences, or likeness without their clear consent.
  • Misrepresent your identity, business, or intentions.
  • Bring weapons, illegal drugs, or any dangerous items to meetups.
  • Engage in any conduct that, in our view, harms the safety, trust, or reputation of the community.

We may investigate reports of misconduct and, at our discretion, warn, suspend, or remove members who breach these standards. We may also contact law enforcement where required or appropriate.

8. Confidentiality and discretion

DMC circles often involve personal, emotional, or sensitive conversations.

By joining DMC you agree to:

  • Treat personal information and stories shared by other members as confidential.
  • Not publicly share, publish, or disclose another member's identity or story without their explicit permission.
  • Use discretion when sharing your own experiences involving other members.

We cannot guarantee that every member will always uphold these standards, but we may treat serious breaches as grounds for removal.

9. Intellectual property

9.1 Our content

All content provided through the Services, including the DMC name, logo, brand assets, text, graphics, videos, tools, and software, is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws.

  • Copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of the Services.
  • Use our trademarks or branding without our prior written permission.

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non transferable, non sublicensable, revocable licence to use the Services for your own personal and professional development.

9.2 Your content

By submitting content you grant DMC a worldwide, non exclusive, royalty free licence to use, copy, store, modify, display, and distribute that content as needed to operate, improve, and promote the Services.

You promise that you own or have the right to share any content you submit and that it does not infringe the rights of others.

10. Privacy and data

We collect and process personal data to operate DMC, including onboarding information, activity and goal preferences, and usage data from the platform.

Our use of your data is described in more detail in our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. Please read it carefully.

By using the Services you consent to our collection and use of your data in line with that policy.

11. Termination and suspension

You may stop using DMC at any time and may cancel your subscription through your account.

We may, with or without notice, suspend or terminate your access to all or part of the Services if:

  • You violate these Terms or our community guidelines.
  • We believe your conduct risks harm to other members, DMC, or third parties.
  • We discontinue or materially change the Services.

If we terminate your account for breach of these Terms, you are not entitled to a refund of any fees already paid, except where required by law.

Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination will continue to apply, including confidentiality, IP, disclaimers, limitations of liability, and governing law.

12. Disclaimers

To the maximum extent permitted by law:

  • The Services are provided "as is" and "as available".
  • We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error free operation, or that the Services will meet your expectations.
  • We make no guarantees about business outcomes, fitness outcomes, friendships, partnerships, funding, or any specific results from participating in DMC.
  • Nothing in DMC's materials or communications should be taken as financial, legal, medical, or mental health advice.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain disclaimers, so the above may not fully apply to you.

13. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law:

13.1 Exclusion of certain damages

DMC will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising out of or related to your use of the Services or participation in any meetups.

13.2 Overall cap

Our total aggregate liability to you for any and all claims arising out of or relating to the Services or these Terms will be limited to the greater of:

  • The total amount you have paid to DMC for membership in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim, or
  • USD $100 (or equivalent in local currency).

13.3 Physical activities and meetups

Without limiting the above, DMC will not be liable for any injury, accident, illness, property damage, or loss that occurs before, during, or after any DMC related meetup or activity, except where such exclusion is not allowed by law.

These limitations apply whether the claim is based on contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or any other legal theory, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability, so some of the above may not apply to you.

14. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless DMC, its founders, employees, contractors, and partners from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) that arise out of or relate to:

  • Your use of the Services or participation in any DMC activity.
  • Your breach of these Terms or any applicable law.
  • Your content or conduct that infringes or violates the rights of any third party.

15. Third party services and links

The Services may contain links to third party websites, apps, or services (for example Stripe, email tools, analytics tools, or partner venues). Use of those services is subject to their own terms and privacy policies.

We do not control and are not responsible for third party services, and your use of them is at your own risk.

16. Changes to the Services and these Terms

We are continuously improving DMC and may:

  • Add, change, or remove features or components of the Services.
  • Update these Terms from time to time.

If we make material changes to these Terms, we will notify you by email, through the platform, or by updating the "Last updated" date at the top.

Your continued use of the Services after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms. If you do not agree, you should stop using DMC and cancel your membership.

17. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of Delaware, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles.

Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Delaware, United States, unless local consumer law gives you the right to bring disputes in your home country.

18. General

  • If any part of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining parts will remain in full force and effect.
  • Our failure to enforce any right or provision is not a waiver of that right or provision.
  • You may not transfer or assign your membership or rights under these Terms without our consent. We may assign our rights and obligations in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
