Terms & venue rules

Adult applications & accurate information

You must be 18 or older. Provide your own accurate email, exact VRChat display name, profile, requested role and relevant experience. Hosting applicants also provide their actual group and event details and certify group ownership. Do not apply for a child, falsify age, share access codes or help anyone evade an age restriction. A declared birth date and verified email do not independently establish a person’s age or legal identity.

You authorize private review of the information you submit under the screening notice. Review uses the profile, group identity, Discord membership, experience and references you supply. Applying is not a guarantee of approval, employment, compensation, hosting, VIP access or recording access.

Hinder’s Lounge hiring

Apply through the public Hinder’s Nightclub Discord application channel using /request-staff, complete the website form and verify your email. HinderMeNot reviews the application and schedules a group interview at Hinder’s Nightclub. The interview time and arrival instructions are emailed privately and shown in your application status.

HinderMeNot must confirm that you completed the interview before hiring you. Applying, being interviewed or selecting a role does not grant membership in Hinder’s Staff on VRChat or access to private Discord staff channels. After hiring, the website grants the dedicated hired-staff Discord role; HinderMeNot sends the VRChat group invitation separately. You must accept that invitation. If you are not hired, those staff memberships are not provided.

Other groups & hosting

Other-group staff apply to their selected group owner, who makes the approval decision. That approval does not hire them into Hinder’s Lounge or grant access to Hinder’s private staff group. The owner is responsible for their group’s staff and VRChat platform permissions.

Current hosting uses a separate application requested with /request-hosting. Its private link lasts 30 minutes. The group’s hosting and staff approval window ends 24 hours after submission, including verification and review time. Approval or account signup preserves approved hosting permission; application-issued codes do not extend that window. Approved Super Admin codes are personal and bound to the exact supplied VRChat display name; other-group codes end with their owner’s window. Hinder’s Lounge Super Admin codes currently last 24 hours.

World controls do not transfer VRChat group ownership, change VRChat platform permissions or grant VIP subscriptions. VIP, timed Producer purchases and external broadcasting packages are separate features. An enabled package description and its checkout define the purchased service; any enabled checkout must show its price, duration and purchase conditions before payment.

Staff, Producer & recording rules

These requirements apply to staff, Super Admins and group owners organizing events, and to anyone capturing, broadcasting, editing or publishing venue video or audio:

• Adults aged 18 or older only. No minors in productions and no evasion of age restrictions.
• No NSFW content, SPS or nudity.
• No child-related content.
• No offensive or controversial content.
• No illegal content or any other content prohibited by the venue, the hosting group or VRChat.

Notify performers and guests before recording or broadcasting, obtain the necessary permissions, and use only media you have permission to use. A staff application is not blanket permission to record someone. Stop or mute affected capture when prohibited content appears; exclude it from saved productions before publishing. A returning livestream must not be captured into its own outgoing feed or audio mix.

Protect other people’s private information and access credentials. Do not harass, threaten or knowingly make false factual allegations. These rules do not require anyone to conceal misconduct or give up truthful reviews, opinions, lawful reports or permitted disclosures to authorities.

Patrons, moderation & access changes

Visitors are asked to follow the adult-only venue rules and the same content guidance, and to cooperate with staff. Posters communicate these expectations; they do not automatically prevent misconduct. Staff give clear warnings for ongoing offensive or disruptive behavior and may use the venue’s jail or other moderation controls when behavior continues. Immediate safety concerns may require immediate action under venue and VRChat rules.

HinderMeNot or the relevant group owner may deny or withdraw an application approval for inaccurate information, failed verification, misconduct or ineligibility. Withdrawal disables associated website hosting grants and removes automatically assigned venue roles after refresh. VRChat group membership is administered separately. Contact the owner privately to discuss a decision or report a mistake.

Questions & changes

Contact HinderMeNot privately through the official Hinder’s Nightclub Discord. Do not post your birth information, email, private links or codes in public channels. Read the FAQ for application steps and the Privacy notice for data use and retention. This version governs the applications that expressly agree to it; material application changes require a new recorded agreement.

Scheduled event hires

Hosting and staff applications and private review details expire and are deleted after 24 hours. Applicants can separately agree to retain an approved future hire’s event association, exact VRChat name and role until the event ends. Event metadata and hashed owner-access information support scheduling and private management. A scheduled staffing event is not an active hosting code and grants no world access before the matching event. At the activated event, approved venue roles are assigned automatically; staff check-in is still required for staff tools and crowns. Owners can withdraw an event hire or cancel staffing.

Payments, subscriptions & services

Hinder’s Nightclub purchases are sold by WebTech N’Go Corp., based in Akron, Ohio, United States, through its WebTech n’Go Square seller account. Prices are in USD: VIP Tier 1 $9.99/month; VIP Tier 2 $19.99/month; full-venue production passes $9.99/4 hours, $14.99/8 hours or $19.99/12 hours; assisted OBS/Producer Companion setup $35/hour; operated recording/broadcasting $40/hour with a 2-hour ($80) minimum. Cloud computing, streaming-server costs, bandwidth and storage require a separate agreed quote. Any applicable tax and the full total must be disclosed before payment.

One-time passes use your approved active member account and your selected event window. You do not need HinderMeNot’s personal confirmation for each event. After the server verifies a completed matching Square payment, your account email receives the personal access code, receipt and setup instructions. Monthly VIP signup shows the free month, recurring total and payment method before you agree. Service appointments require HinderMeNot’s confirmation of availability, scope and hours before an agreed Square invoice is paid. Do not send unsolicited payment expecting automatic access or a guaranteed appointment. Paid purchases require a separate affirmative acceptance of the purchase terms shown at checkout or on the agreed invoice; a staff application does not authorize a charge.

Recurring VIP billing

When available, a VIP subscription charges the selected monthly price at signup and automatically renews monthly until canceled. There is no minimum subscription commitment. One approved group owner and one active approved group instance at a time are included; subscribers do not pay an extra subscription fee per instance. Hosting approval is still required and expires independently. The separate VIP event code is personal to the approved owner and the confirmed event window; payment alone is not proof of a valid in-world grant. Subscriber event codes are planned for 12 hours from the scheduled start, with events at least 12 hours apart and email delivery 30 minutes before start.

Canceling future payments

Use Manage subscription in Square’s subscription confirmation to cancel before the next renewal. You may also contact HinderMeNot privately through the official Discord or reply using the seller contact details on your Square purchase confirmation. We accept a clear cancellation request and confirm its effective date; do not wait for an in-world visit or staff approval to request cancellation. Cancellation stops future renewals and leaves the already-paid period available, subject to hosting eligibility and venue rules. Removing the Companion, leaving a group, canceling a hosting event or unsubscribing from receipt emails does not itself cancel recurring billing. A one-time pass or service invoice does not create a subscription.

All sales final / no returns or refunds

No returns or refunds are offered for completed payments, unused subscription time, unused event passes, booked service time or a change of mind, except where required by applicable law. Cancellation does not refund previous payments or prorate a paid billing period. This policy does not waive statutory consumer rights or prevent reporting an unauthorized, duplicate or incorrect charge. Report billing errors or a service we cannot deliver privately so they can be investigated and handled under applicable requirements.

Timed access and service scope

A timed pass provides the same Main and VIP production features for the purchased 4-, 8- or 12-hour duration in one approved event instance. The agreed activation window is shown before payment. Its clock does not restart when you enter late. The matching hosting window is issued through your approved active member account, with the purchased start and end shown on the receipt. OBS and the Producer Companion are free; paid assistance covers human setup time. An operated production covers only the agreed work and hours, not a computer, streaming-platform eligibility, licensing of media, guaranteed audience size or cloud infrastructure. Recording still requires the production rules and participant permissions.

Receipts and changes

Square handles card payment and sends the payment confirmation/digital receipt to the contact supplied during checkout. Check the plan, billing frequency, renewal date, invoice hours and total before paying, and keep the confirmation. Purchase terms and prices displayed for a transaction govern that purchase; the application agreement is separate. Material changes to ongoing subscription pricing or billing terms will be disclosed before they take effect, with a way to cancel future payments.

Approved member accounts and automated purchases

Member registration requires an approved hosting Application ID, the same email and exact VRChat name, and the Discord account used to apply. Email verification activates the account. Store access requires an active account. A pending, denied or suspended account does not qualify.

Hosting approval supplies permission to host permitted instances; the venue owner does not personally confirm each recording event. You provide your own computer, OBS, streaming account, storage, connection and operators. Separately booked assisted setup and operated production require an agreed service scope and time.

Account-bound Square orders return to a private website receipt. Access is granted only after a completed matching payment is verified by the server, for the product’s selected paid period. Keep personal codes private; they are bound to your registered VRChat name. Cancellation stops future subscription billing and preserves the already-paid period subject to venue rules. Final-sale provisions and exceptions required by law remain applicable.

The member account and financial records have their own retention notice in Privacy; private application answers still expire after 24 hours. Hosting permission and completed-payment verification determine access; human-service bookings have their own agreed scope and time.

All instructions · Billing and account support

Tax location and checkout total

Provide the country and US state where you will use a pass. For Ohio, provide a ZIP code and ZIP+4 when needed to distinguish rates. Ohio sales tax is calculated from the current public Ohio Department of Taxation table for the location you provide; it is shown separately in Square and your website receipt before and after payment. Current automated US collection is configured for Ohio. Do not substitute the seller’s Akron address for your own service location.

The stored product, selected window and tax quote identify the checkout attempt. Changing those details requires a new checkout attempt. An unverified or ambiguous Ohio rate prevents checkout until the location is resolved. No payment is taken merely by submitting the website form.

Purchase terms version: 2026-10-12-v4. See the tax-record privacy notice and private billing support.

Free month, renewals, automatic payments and cancellation

New verified members receive one free calendar month on VIP Tier 1 or VIP Tier 2, once across both tiers. After the displayed trial end, Tier 1 is $9.99 USD/month and Tier 2 is $19.99 USD/month plus applicable tax. The signup review shows the tax total, first paid date and payment method before you agree. Square stores renewal cards and processes payments; Hinder’s website does not store card numbers or security codes.

In My account → Subscriptions, enable automatic payments to authorize recurring card charges, or disable them to receive monthly Square invoices for manual payment. Disabling automatic payments does not unsubscribe. Pay a manual invoice on its renewal date. One unpaid renewal suspends subscription services until verified payment: new event codes cannot be issued, and subscription-derived venue and production access cannot continue beyond the verified trial or paid period. Independent one-time passes retain their own paid expiry dates.

Unsubscribe in your account stops future renewals and charges; current verified trial or paid access remains until its displayed end. Cancel before the free month ends to stop the first paid renewal. Billing controls remain available if venue access is suspended. All sales are final; no returns or refunds for unused time, unused passes or changes of mind, except where required by applicable law. Contact private support if you cannot sign in or need help cancelling.

Use HINDERS25 once on your first one-time production pass, eligible for any of the 4-, 8- or 12-hour durations. The discount is 25% of the pass price before tax. It does not apply to subscriptions or human services, cannot be combined with another discount, and does not repeat on another duration. An abandoned checkout does not use the offer: cancel the unused checkout in My account before choosing another duration. A completed refunded purchase still counts as a first purchase.

Private codes, approved groups and code abuse

Every code is personal. Never give out, post, sell, lend or transfer an entrance, hosting, VIP or production code. Use your exact registered VRChat display name and the group approved on your hosting account. Subscribers use the same approved hosting account, with the additional features included in their tier; subscriptions do not transfer group ownership or platform permissions.

In My account → Generate your next access code, an approved regular host can request a 24-hour hosting code. A current subscriber can request a 12-hour hosting code and their tier’s separate VIP code, capped at the verified trial or paid billing end. Only one unexpired code of each kind can be issued to a recognized person. A second request is denied until the current code expires, including attempts from another account with the same verified Discord identity or VRChat name. Cancelling an event or revoking a code does not bypass its original lock expiry. Independent production passes retain their purchased time window.

Codes are tied to your registered VRChat name and stored with your approved group. Another VRChat name cannot redeem your code. Current technical limit: the installed world SDK does not expose the instance’s actual group to these keypads; group use is an enforced account/approval rule, not yet an automatic in-world group comparison. Do not use a code to open another group’s instance. Contact support before a legitimate username or group change.

Confirmed code misuse or abuse may result in a permanent Hinder’s Nightclub ban and blacklist of the associated email, VRChat username, Discord identity and group names/IDs. Creating new identities or groups to evade a ban is prohibited. Newly confirmed aliases are added to the same restriction; the system does not automatically identify an unknown person behind completely different accounts. No account deletion removes a permanent ban. Private support and restriction review.

Manual payment: open My account → Subscriptions and choose Pay renewal invoice. Square takes the payment securely; your website receipt and verified access update in the account. No payment is due during the free month.

One month to recover an unpaid subscription

One unpaid monthly renewal suspends subscription services immediately; it does not immediately remove your hosting account. You have one calendar month from the unpaid billing boundary to sign in, pay the outstanding Square invoice, manage automatic payments or unsubscribe. Verified payment within that period restores the eligible subscription and clears the recovery deadline. My account and the payment email show the exact deadline.

After the deadline, future automatic billing is stopped and the usable account, sign-in sessions, email association, usernames, group profile, codes and private member history are cleared from the active website database. The old profile cannot be restored. An independent active paid pass delays cleanup until its purchased window ends. Voluntarily unsubscribing from a current paid period does not itself trigger unpaid-account deletion.

Account loss does not prohibit a new hosting application. An unbanned applicant may use the same email with a new approved application and verify a new account. Required financial records, Square’s own records, minimal permanent-ban records and provider backup retention are exceptions to immediate deletion; the website does not promise that every copy is instantly erased forever. Ohio sales records are retained for at least four years, or longer when required. Blacklisted identities cannot create a new account to evade their restriction.

Existing codes and a new production checkout

A one-time checkout reserves the next VIP/production code slot so another code cannot be generated while that checkout is awaiting payment. If you already have an unexpired VIP code, wait for its expiry before opening a new production checkout. Cancel an unused checkout in My account to release its reservation. Existing hosting codes remain usable until their own expiry; a paid pass does not rotate them early.

If Square has ended a subscription, My account shows Restart this subscription. Returning members do not receive another free month. Pay its new renewal invoice from My account to restore eligible services within the account recovery period.

Verified staff accounts

Approved hires can create their own account with their approved staff Application ID and matching verified application email within 24 hours. If an already-hired person’s application was removed, the approving group owner can prepare an invitation in My account → Staff accounts. The hire uses /staff-account in the venue Discord to receive a private 30-minute signup link, enters an email they control, accepts account Terms/Privacy, and verifies the email. The owner does not need to know that email.

A verified staff account retains its identity and minimal approved role/group assignments separately from the application’s private answers. Hinder’s Lounge ongoing assignments last until revoked; scheduled assignments end with their event. Unclaimed recovery invitations expire after seven days. Staff accounts do not expire merely because an application expires. Staff can see their own assignments and codes; they do not receive group-owner authority, other applicants’ information or the host’s billing.

Only Super Admin staff approved to open instances can generate hosting codes. Host-paid VIP and production codes require that approving host’s active subscription or an active paid one-time pass, inherit only that tier and remaining window, and stop when the approval is revoked, payment is overdue, the host account becomes unavailable or the pass ends. Every staff member gets a separate code bound to their exact VRChat display name and approved group. No code replacement before expiry. Current world code checks the entering player’s display name; it does not verify the actual instance group ID or immutable VRChat user identity.

Server and club rule enforcement

Read and accept the Discord server rules before participating, and follow the posted server and club rules. Reports require human review. A first confirmed violation receives one warning explaining the behavior to stop. A further confirmed violation after that warning results in removal from the Discord server, loss of hosting privileges and disabled hosting codes. Rejoining does not reset the record. World code changes require the next access-list refresh. Contact private support to request review. Discord and VRChat safety requirements and platform enforcement continue to apply.
