Terms of Service

These terms are an agreement between you and Sparc Club (“we”, “us”, “our”), a private network for verified founders. They apply to the Sparc Club website, web app and mobile applications (together, the “service”).

By creating an account or using the service, you agree to these terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the service.

Sparc Club is for people who are building companies. To become a member you must:

• be an active founder, co-founder, CEO, business owner or principal operator of a registered venture;
• be at least 16 years old and able to enter into this agreement;
• join as yourself, not on behalf of someone else.

Membership is at our discretion. We may decline an application, or remove a member who no longer meets these criteria.

• The information you give us, including your name, company and role, must be true and kept up to date.
• To verify that you are a founder, we check details such as your business email domain, company website and LinkedIn profile. If the automatic checks cannot confirm you, our team may review your details by hand.
• You may hold one personal account. Keep your sign-in details private; you are responsible for activity on your account.
• If you think someone else has accessed your account, tell us straight away at info@thesparcclub.com.

Sparc Club works because members can trust each other. We operate a zero-spam policy: unsolicited sales pitches, automated bot outreach, recruitment spam or commercial scraping will result in immediate, permanent removal from the network.

You also agree not to:

• impersonate anyone, or misrepresent your role or company;
• harass, threaten or discriminate against other members;
• post content that is unlawful, misleading, or that infringes someone else’s rights;
• copy, export or harvest member profiles or contact details, by hand or with automated tools;
• interfere with the service, probe it for vulnerabilities, or try to get around its security or access controls.

Round Tables are small, private discussions between founders. Tactical discussions and business metrics shared in a Round Table must remain strictly confidential between participating members. Do not record, screenshot or share them outside the Round Table without the agreement of the people involved.

You own the posts, comments, messages and other content you create on Sparc Club. You give us permission to store, display and deliver that content to the members it is intended for, as needed to run the service. This permission ends when you delete the content or your account, except where it has already been shared with other members or we must keep it by law.

You are responsible for what you post. We may remove content that breaks these terms.

Sparc Club helps founders meet, but we are not a party to any agreement, investment, hire or partnership that comes out of it. Nothing on the service is financial, legal or investment advice. Do your own due diligence before relying on anything another member tells you.

Founder membership is currently free. If we introduce paid features, we will show you the price and terms before you are charged, and you will not be charged without agreeing to them.

The Sparc Club name, logo, design and software belong to us. You may use the service for its intended purpose, but you may not copy, modify, resell or reverse-engineer it, or use our brand without our written permission.

If you sign in with LinkedIn, Google or Apple, your use of that provider is also covered by its own terms. The service may link to websites we do not control, and we are not responsible for their content.

You can close your account at any time in the app settings, or by emailing info@thesparcclub.com.

We may suspend or remove an account, without notice where necessary, if a member breaks these terms, puts other members at risk, or no longer meets the membership criteria. What happens to your data after that is described in our Privacy Policy.

We work hard to keep Sparc Club available, secure and accurate, but the service is provided “as is”. Verification confirms that a member is a founder; it is not an endorsement of them, their company or anything they say. We do not guarantee that the service will be uninterrupted or free of errors.

To the extent the law allows, Sparc Club is not liable for indirect or consequential losses, such as lost profits, lost opportunities or lost data, arising from your use of the service or from dealings between members. Nothing in these terms limits any liability that cannot be limited by law.

We update these terms when the service changes. The date at the top of the page always shows the latest version. If a change materially affects your rights, we will tell you in the app or by email before it takes effect.
