Consequences for Unacceptable Behavior
Participants who are asked to stop their behavior will be expected to comply immediately. If a participant continues to violate this Code, Social Current may take whatever actions it deems appropriate, including removal from event without refund, disqualification from attending future events, notification of participant’s employer, or notification of on-premises security or local law enforcement as necessary.

Reporting Unacceptable Behavior
If you are subjected to unacceptable behavior, notice that someone else is being subjected to unacceptable behavior, or have any other concerns, please notify Social Current staff as soon as possible. All reported concerns will be treated seriously and addressed. All participants are expected to cooperate fully and honestly with any effort by Social Current to address violations.
