Terms of use
Last updated 13 November 2026
Short version: be 18 or older, be kind, meet in public, and look after yourself. Vesica helps people find each other for events; it doesn’t run the events or check the people.
About these terms
Vesica is run by Vesica Club, a registered business name (ABN 31 542 879 665), based in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia (“we”, “us”). By creating an account you agree to these terms, our privacy policy and our community guidelines.
Who can use Vesica
- You must be 18 or older.
- Use your real name and a real photo of yourself.
- One account per person. You’re responsible for what happens on your account.
What Vesica is, and isn’t
Vesica is a friendship app for going to events with other people. It is not a dating service.
Public events come from Brisbane City Council and Moreton Bay City Council open data (both licensed under CC BY 4.0) and from Ticketmaster. We don’t run them or sell tickets, and details like times and prices can change. Tickets are bought from Ticketmaster under its own terms. Check with the organiser before you go.
Hosted plans are created by other users. We don’t organise, check or supervise them.
To stop abuse, “I’m going” is limited to 20 new events a day per person.
Meeting people
We don’t run background checks on anyone. You choose who to meet and you’re responsible for your own safety. Meet in public places, tell a friend where you’re going, and leave if you feel uncomfortable. If someone makes you feel unsafe, block or report them in the app, or report a plan from its page. In an emergency, call 000.
Your content
You own what you post: your photo, profile and messages. You give us permission to store it and show it to other people in the app so Vesica can work. Your photo is shown only to people in a plan or event chat with you, or to a host when you ask to join or are on their waitlist, unless you choose to show it to everyone. Everyone else sees your avatar. A host can add one optional photo to a plan. If you add one, you own it and you give us permission to show it on the plan’s card, page and shared link. We check every plan photo automatically for adult, violent or racy content before it shows, and we can remove any plan photo that breaks our guidelines. Don’t post anything you don’t have the right to share.
Organisers and Featured events
Businesses, clubs and groups can list events on Vesica for free. A real person hosts each one in the app, is in its group chat and follows our community guidelines, including no advertising spam in chats.
We review every event. We may reject or remove an event that breaks these terms or our guidelines, or that we reasonably think is unsafe or misleading. We aim to review within 2 days.
Where your event shows. Once we approve an event, we show it in the app and on vesica.club: on its own page, in What’s on and in our guides. Anyone can see these pages, search engines like Google can list them, and people can share links to them. This comes with every listing and can’t be turned off. You still own your event’s title, details, photo and logo. You give us permission, free of charge, to show them in these places while the event is listed, and to resize or crop the photo to fit. When an event ends, is cancelled or is removed, we take it off our website, usually within a day, but search engines can take longer to catch up. Only send words and photos you have the right to use. If people can be recognised in your photo, check they’re happy for it to be online.
Featured makes an approved event’s map pin stand out until it starts, and puts it in the Featured row at the top of the list in the week before it starts, taking turns with other Featured events. It promotes an event, never a person. Featured is separate from listing. Only so many events can be Featured across Brisbane at once, so if every spot is taken, your event joins a waiting list and becomes Featured when one opens.
Featured costs $31.90 (including GST) per event, or $108.90 (including GST) for 4. Credits from a pack of 4 last 3 years. We email you a payment link and send a tax invoice.
Our promise: if fewer than 5 people, not counting you, are going when your paid Featured event starts, your next Featured event is free. Use it within 6 months.
If we can’t show your event as Featured, or you cancel it before it goes Featured, we refund what you paid for it. We also refund it if we remove the event for any reason other than breaking these terms or our guidelines. None of this limits your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.
Each organiser can ask for up to 2 events to be Featured a week. Organisers who list in our first 3 months get up to 2 Featured events a week free for those 3 months, from the same spots as everyone else. If you change a Featured event’s name, details, place or time, Featured pauses until we approve the change. You keep your spot, unless you move it to a week with no free Featured spot: then it waits for the next one, and you aren’t charged again. Organisers edit their events at vesica.club/organisers and cancel them in the app. They can’t delete them.
What’s not allowed
Anything that breaks our community guidelines, including harassment, hate, threats, scams, spam, selling, sexual content, and using Vesica for dating or hook-ups.
If things go wrong
We have zero tolerance for objectionable content or abusive users. We review reports within 24–48 hours and may remove content or accounts.
We can remove content, or suspend or close accounts, that break these terms or put others at risk. You can delete your account at any time in the app: You → Delete account.
Not on Vesica? If something on Vesica is about you, for example it’s abusive or defamatory, email hello@vesica.club with your name, what was said and where. We act within 7 days, sooner for abuse. You can also report serious online abuse to eSafety at esafety.gov.au/report.
Our responsibility
Vesica is provided “as is”. We do our best to keep it working and accurate, but we can’t promise it will always be available or error-free. As far as the law allows, we’re not responsible for what happens at events or between people who meet through the app.
Nothing in these terms limits your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.
Changes and law
We may update these terms. If a change is significant, we’ll tell you in the app. These terms are governed by the laws of Queensland, Australia.
