Last updated: October 15, 2023
Welcome to SilkBliss. These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the silkbliss.com website (the "Website"), as well as your application for and participation in exclusive events organized by Clear Investments OÜ ("SilkBliss", "we", "us", or "our").
By accessing the Website, submitting a place request, or participating in our events, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you must not use our services or participate in our events.

2. Eligibility and Application Process
-
Age Requirements:
You must be at least 18 years of age to request a place and participate in our Events. By submitting an application, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement.
-
Selection Process:
SilkBliss organizes exclusive events with a limited number of places. All applications are subject to a selection and verification process at our sole discretion. The aim is to ensure harmony, safety, and compatibility of participants to create the best possible experience.
Submitting an application does not guarantee acceptance or participation in an Event. We reserve the right to accept or reject any application without needing to provide a justification.
-
Truthful Information:
You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during the application process. Providing false or misleading information may result in the rejection of your application or expulsion from an Event without refund.
-
Application Confidentiality:
We will treat your application information with the utmost confidentiality, in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
3. Code of Conduct at Events
-
Consent and Mutual Respect:
The fundamental pillar of SilkBliss Events is enthusiastic, explicit, and ongoing consent in all interactions. "No" means "no," and the absence of a clear "yes" is also a "no." Respect for personal boundaries, privacy, and the decisions of other participants is mandatory.
Any form of harassment, coercion, disrespectful, discriminatory, or non-consensual behavior will result in immediate expulsion from the Event without refund and a possible ban from future events.
-
Confidentiality and Discretion:
The privacy of all participants is paramount. It is strictly forbidden to take photographs, record videos, or audio of other participants without their explicit prior consent. Sharing any personal information or details about other participants outside the Event without their permission is prohibited.
-
Compliance with Event Rules:
You agree to follow all specific instructions and rules provided by SilkBliss organizers before and during the Event. This includes, but is not limited to, schedules, dress codes (if any), and guidelines on the use of facilities.
-
Health and Safety:
You must inform organizers of any relevant pre-existing medical conditions that may affect your participation or the safety of others. You agree to act responsibly regarding your health and that of others, including honesty about your sexual health status if pertinent to interactions.
-
Substance Use:
Alcohol consumption must be responsible. The use of illegal drugs is strictly prohibited at SilkBliss Events. Failure to comply with this rule will result in immediate expulsion.
4. Payments, Cancellations, and Refunds

Fees and Payment:
Fees for participating in Events are detailed in the pricing section of the Website. A reservation payment is required to confirm your application, and full payment must be made within the specified timeframe after your place is accepted.

Participant Cancellation Policy:
Our cancellation policy is as follows (these are examples, adapt them):
- Cancellations made less than 29 days before the Event or no-shows: No refunds will be issued.
- The initial reservation fee may be non-refundable in certain cases, which will be clearly indicated.
Cancellation requests must be submitted in writing via our contact form.
-
Event Cancellation or Modification by SilkBliss:
We reserve the right to cancel or modify an Event due to unforeseen circumstances or force majeure (including, but not limited to, government restrictions, natural disasters, low enrollment). In the event of cancellation by us, we will offer a full refund of payments received for the canceled Event or the option to transfer the payment to a future event, at our discretion.
We will not be liable for other expenses incurred by participants (e.g., flights, additional accommodation not included).
