Meet5 is a leisure app. To allow everybody to have a good time, we do not allow the platform to be used for any other purpose.

We reserve the right to delete activities which go against these guidelines, even if costs have already been incurred. Only individual people are allowed to create activities, with the exception of official, vetted Meet5 partners.

The following types of activities are not allowed:

  • Sexual or pornographic activities
    • Example: A meetup at a private residence with a suggestive title. A co-ed hot tub or sauna activity.
  • Political activities
    • Example: A sign making event to prepare for a protest. A drag show hosted as a political fundraiser. (Note: A drag brunch for entertainment is absolutely allowed.) 
  • Any commercial activity, such as advertising or sales-focused activities, product presentations or sales pitches, multi-level marketing (MLM) or recruitment events, or any events focused on acquiring customers
    • Example: A make up party where participants can purchase the products at the end. A bakery owner creating an event for the soft launch of their new bakery. A gallery meetup which ends with the opportunity to buy paintings. A yoga class where the first one is free but meant to attract clients.
  • Counseling or coaching sessions (medical, psychological, life coaching)
    • Example: A business networking event run by a career coach to promote their services.
  • Spiritual or religious gatherings
    • Example: A bible study activity. Gatherings that involve active religious instruction, preaching, or group worship are not permitted. (Note: cultural events with religious roots are welcome if they’re non-proselytizing and open to all, such as Lenten fish fries at a fire station, Hanukkah markets, Diwali festivals, or Mardi Gras parades, but are now widely celebrated as part of local culture.)
  • Anything against federal or state law, from counterfeit goods to prostitution to drug or psychedelic events, even if locally legalized
    • Example: A 4/20 “High in the Mountains” hike.
  • Donation-based or pay-what-you-want events (materials cost reimbursement is allowed, such as for a craft event, so long as costs are transparent and do not include any labor costs or donations for the organizer)
    • Example: A boat trip where tickets cost $40 and the organizer fee is $10. A pottery session that costs $50 without transparent materials fees. A shopping trip where proceeds go to a donation-based project.
  • Fake activities (an activity organized with no intention to actually meet)
    • Example: A personal trainer who plans fitness events and then cancels them, meant to gather new client leads.
  • Activities centered around weapons, their promotion, or use of weapons
    • Example: An activity at a shooting range or an “open carry social walk.”

We monitor activities closely and actively encourage members to report any suspicious events or people. Together, we can help keep Meet5 a safe, welcoming, and enjoyable space for every one.

If you have an event idea in mind but aren’t sure if it’s allowed, please reach out to us to ask!
