Terms of Service

Last updated: 2026-11-02

Introduction

These Terms set out the conditions for using Hupeng (the "Service"). Please agree to these Terms before using the Service. In these Terms, "we" means the operator of the Service.

Article 1. About the Service

The Service is a platform for announcing offline events and recruiting participants, posting notes, and posting and browsing free giveaways of items.

You can host your own events and apply to join events hosted by other users.

We do not plan, host, run or supervise the events users post, and we are not a party to attending an event, giving away an item, or any other agreement or transaction between users.

Article 2. Age limit and registration

The Service is for people aged 18 and over only. People under 18 may not use it, even with a parent's or guardian's consent.

Enter your birth year and month and other required details accurately when you register. Registering with false information, such as a false age, is prohibited.

If we find that a user is under 18, we will suspend the account.

Article 3. Event fees and money

Joining an event may involve costs such as transport, food and drink, admission and accommodation.

Any fee a host collects from participants is set by the host and collected in person on the day. The fee information on an event page is written by the host.

Hosts must state the amount, what it covers, any extra costs, and the cancellation and refund terms clearly enough for participants to check before applying. Participants should check these before applying.

We do not collect, hold, advance or process event fees, and we take no commission on them. Any issue about fees should first be discussed between the host and the participants. Our liability is as set out in Article 9.

Article 4. Prohibited conduct

When using the Service, you must not:

• post or solicit for events whose main purpose is romance, matchmaking or finding a partner;

• set participation conditions, or behave in ways, that amount to unfair discrimination;

• use an event as cover for sales solicitation, pyramid-scheme recruiting or fraud;

• charge fees that were not explained in advance, or unreasonable fees;

• harass, stalk, threaten, defame or attack anyone personally;

• disclose other people's personal information without permission, impersonate others, or post false information;

• make false reports, give improper reviews, or deliberately falsify attendance records;

• break the law or infringe the rights of third parties;

• otherwise unreasonably interfere with the operation of the Service.

Depending on the nature and seriousness of a violation, we may take the necessary steps, such as removing content, restricting features or suspending the account.

Article 5. Chat

Chat on the Service is limited to each event's group chat. There is no one-to-one private messaging, and no feature for searching or recommending users by gender.

A group chat can be read by the event's host and approved participants. However, to handle reports, we may review reported content to the extent necessary.

Seven days after an event ends, its chat becomes read-only and no new messages can be posted.

Article 6. Attendance and participation records

After an event, the host must record each participant's attendance accurately. Attendance records are used to calculate and display attendance rates.

Cancelling within 24 hours of the start is recorded as a late cancellation.

Participation records such as attendance rates are reference information for other users, for example when deciding whether to approve an application. They are not our guarantee of anyone's character or reliability.

If a record is wrong, contact the host or our contact point.

Article 7. Reviews

After an event, the host and participants can review each other based on what actually happened.

Participants can review a host with stars, tags and free text. Hosts can review participants with tags only, without free text.

Reviews become visible to the other side once both have submitted, or seven days after the event ends.

Reviews must not contain false statements, defamation, personal information, or anything else that violates Article 4. We may remove reviews that do.

See the Privacy Policy for who can see reviews.

Article 8. Reports and our response

You can use the in-app report feature to report events, users and chat messages.

We review reports and, where needed, temporarily hide the reported item, investigate, or take other action. A report alone does not establish a violation.

Where a violation is confirmed, or urgent action is needed for safety, we may remove content, restrict use or suspend accounts without prior notice.

If you would like a decision explained or reconsidered, contact our contact point.

The report feature does not replace emergency help or calling the police. If you need emergency help in Japan, call 110 (police) or 119 (ambulance / fire) directly.

Article 9. Safety and our liability

Offline events and handing over items carry risks such as injury, theft and damage to property. Check the details and conditions carefully, and look after your own safety when taking part.

We do not guarantee that information posted by users is true or accurate, that events are safe, that hosts are qualified, or that giveaway items are of good quality or safe.

We are not liable for damage arising from joining events, interactions between users, handing over items, posts, or disputes between users, where the damage is not attributable to us.

Where damage is caused by our intent or negligence, we are liable in accordance with applicable law. Nothing in these Terms limits your rights under the Consumer Contract Act or any other law.

Article 10. Deleting your account

You can delete your account at any time under Me → Delete account.

When you delete your account, your nickname is replaced with "Deleted user" and your photo and bio are removed. Events you host that have not yet taken place are cancelled.

So that other users' attendance rates and reviews stay consistent, your past participation records remain under "Deleted user".

Deleting your account does not mean that everything related to it, such as posts, chats and reviews, is deleted immediately. See the Privacy Policy for what is kept and for how long.

Article 11. Personal information

We handle personal information in the Service in accordance with our separate Privacy Policy.
