Curated moments, zero pressure
Community Guidelines
BERIM works when people can arrive alone, feel respected, and decide for themselves how much they want to participate.
Welcome people in
Be kind to newcomers. Avoid closed circles, inside jokes that exclude others, or behavior that makes someone earn their way into the group. Hosts may gently mix conversations so everyone has a way in.
Respect boundaries
No one owes another guest attention, physical contact, personal information, a ride, a date, or a second meeting. Accept “no,” hesitation, and requests for space immediately and without argument.
No harassment or discrimination
Harassment, threats, intimidation, unwanted sexual attention, hate speech, stalking, bullying, or discrimination are not permitted. BERIM welcomes people across cultures, backgrounds, relationship statuses, abilities, and life stages.
Friendship first
BERIM is not a dating service, sales event, recruiting funnel, or professional networking pitch. Organic connections are welcome. Repeated solicitation, promotion, pressure, or using attendee information for unrelated outreach is not.
Protect privacy
Do not add someone to a group chat, share their contact information, post identifiable photos, or repeat sensitive personal stories without permission. Ask before photographing people and respect anyone who opts out.
Participate safely
Follow venue rules, host guidance, traffic laws, and posted restrictions. Choose your own pace, bring what you need, and step away or leave whenever that is right for you. Do not attend while impaired or behave in a way that creates a safety risk.
Speak up
If something feels unsafe or violates these guidelines, tell the host as soon as you reasonably can. BERIM may take steps including a private conversation, separation of guests, removal from an event, or restriction from future gatherings.
