Our service enables people to create or participate in a community, online courses, events, and subscriptions dedicated to an interest, passion, identity, or individual (a “BlockHangs”) for free or for a fee. People who create a BlockHangs (“Hosts”) do so to invite in people (“Members”) to connect with each other, to message, and to exchange information and content. Hosts tailor their BlockHangs by adding their own branding, choosing which features they enable, the Members they invite, and the activities they organize in their BlockHangs.
You must be at least the age of majority in the state or country where you live to create or participate in a BlockHangs.
You will set up an account with each BlockHangs you join and participate in. When you set up a profile with any BlockHangs, we treat registration information according to our Privacy Policy.
