Effective Date: January 1, 2025
Welcome to Talko. By using our website, attending our zoom calls and/or meetups, or submitting content, you agree to play by the rules laid out below. If anything feels unclear, reach out — we’re happy to clarify.
1. Who We Are
Talko is an online and in-person community space for adults to share conversations, stories, and perspectives around life, love, and connection. We offer blog content, community events, and updates via email or text message.
2. Your Agreement
By accessing this website or participating in any Talko meetup or activity, you agree to:
Use the site respectfully and responsibly
Follow our community guidelines
Not misuse the platform (no spam, abuse, or anything shady)
Only post or submit content you own or have the right to share
If you don’t agree to these terms, you shouldn’t use the site. That’s totally fine — no hard feelings.
3. Community Standards
Talko is a space for open, honest, and respectful conversation. We don’t allow:
Harassment, hate speech, or personal attacks
Sharing anyone’s private information without their consent
Disruptive, disrespectful, or unsafe behavior — online or in person
We reserve the right to remove comments, content, or users who violate these standards.
4. User-Submitted Content
If you submit content (like a blog post), you:
Give us permission to publish it on our site or in other Talko-related materials
Acknowledge that we may lightly edit for clarity, grammar, or formatting
Confirm that it’s your original work or that you have the right to share it
We respect your voice — you still own your content, and we’ll never claim otherwise.
5. Meetups & Events
By registering for or attending a Talko meetup:
You accept personal responsibility for your participation and behavior
You understand that these are community-led, informal gatherings — not professional events or therapy
You agree to respect the privacy and boundaries of other attendees
We’re here to connect, not to judge. Let’s keep it kind and curious.
6. Our Content
Unless otherwise credited, all Talko content — blog posts, copy, branding, and design — belongs to us. Please don’t copy, republish, or distribute our work without permission.
7. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms of Use from time to time. If we make significant changes, we’ll update the “Effective Date” and let you know.
