What you can host, and how.

Events you can host

Nyotify is for real gatherings that people choose to attend. As long as the event is legal where it happens and honestly described, you can host:

• Festivals and cultural celebrations, such as Diwali, Navratri and garba, Holi, Eid, Christmas, Onam and Pongal
• Personal occasions: birthdays, weddings, sangeets, mehendi, baby showers, housewarmings, anniversaries and house parties
• Sports and fitness: cricket and football matches, runs, cycling, yoga, treks and tournaments
• Workshops, classes, talks and skill sessions
• Community meetups, book clubs, alumni gatherings, networking and volunteering drives
• Music, comedy, art, theatre and food events at suitable, licensed venues
• Religious and spiritual gatherings open to the people invited

Events you can’t host

We remove these events, cancel any ticket sales and refund every ticket holder automatically, and may suspend the host:

• Anything illegal, or anything that needs a licence or permission you don’t have, such as serving alcohol, amplified music past permitted hours or an event on a public road without police permission
• Gambling, betting, lotteries, or any event where the entry fee is a stake to win money
• Selling drugs or other illegal substances, selling alcohol without a licence, or selling tobacco or alcohol to minors
• Selling or displaying weapons, firearms, explosives or fireworks without the required permissions
• Adult or sexually explicit events, or anything that exploits anyone, especially minors
• Events that promote hate, violence or discrimination based on religion, caste, gender, sexuality, disability or origin
• Political rallies, campaign events and paid election work
• Multi-level marketing, “get rich quick” seminars, crypto or investment schemes, and fundraisers you can’t account for
• Fake, duplicate or placeholder events, events set up to collect people’s personal data, or listings that are really product sales
• Events that use someone else’s name, logo, artists or venue without their permission

Describe your event honestly

The date, time, venue, price, line-up, age limit and what a ticket includes must match what actually happens. If something changes, update the event on Nyotify straight away so guests see it. Don’t charge guests at the venue for anything the ticket said was included.

Tickets and pricing

For events listed on Nyotify, sell tickets only through Nyotify, and don’t ask guests to pay you separately for the same ticket. Set capacity to what the venue can safely hold. You can’t refund single tickets yourself. If you need to call the event off, cancel it on Nyotify and every ticket holder is refunded automatically, minus the payment gateway (Razorpay) fee. Fees and payouts are covered in the Host Payout Policy.

Safety and the venue

You are responsible for the event on the day. Make sure the venue is safe and suitable, you have the permissions it needs, and guests know how to reach you. Follow local rules on noise, timing, fire safety and crowd size. If an event is for adults only, say so on the event and check ages at the door.

Guests and their data

Use guest names, phone numbers and emails only to run your event. Don’t sell or share them, add guests to unrelated lists, or message them about other things without their consent. Treat every guest fairly, and never turn people away for discriminatory reasons.

Content you upload

Cover images, posters, descriptions and photos must be yours or used with permission. Don’t post misleading, hateful or explicit content, or other people’s personal details without their consent.

Cancellations and no-shows

Cancel only when you have to, and as early as you can. Repeated cancellations, events that don’t happen as described, or guest complaints can lead to payout holds or suspension of hosting.

How we enforce this policy

We review host applications and may check events at any time. If an event breaks this policy we may edit or hide it, cancel it and refund guests, hold payouts while we look into it, or suspend or remove hosting. Serious breaches may be reported to the authorities. If you think we got it wrong, write to contact@nyotify.com and we will review it.

Changes and questions

If we change this policy we will update the version date above and may ask you to agree again. To report an event that breaks these rules, or for any question, write to contact@nyotify.com.
