Terms & Conditions

1. Nature of the Application and Service

The Private Twenty is a curated digital presence platform with a fixed limit of twenty (20) active positions at any given time. A submitted application is a request for review and does not create an automatic right to join, purchase, or reserve a position.

Each accepted member receives a visible placement within The Room and access to the private communication circle connected to the platform, subject to these Terms.

2. Admission by Review

Admission is not automatic. Applications are reviewed manually by the operator of the platform (“The Curator”). The Curator may accept, decline, or postpone any application at its sole discretion and is not required to provide reasons for the decision.

Review may take into account the information submitted by the applicant, public profile links, the requested display name, the selected tier, and the overall fit with the tone and purpose of The Private Twenty.

3. Fees, Invitation, and Payment

No payment is collected during the initial application. If an application is approved, the applicant will receive a private, time-limited invoice through Stripe using the contact details provided during the application process.

• A position is confirmed only after successful payment and internal activation.
• The display name is added to The Room only after the payment has been confirmed.
• If payment is not completed within 48 hours of the invitation, the invitation may expire and the position may be offered to another applicant.

4. Refunds and Cancellations

Each accepted placement is reviewed, approved, and activated manually. Once payment has been completed and the position has been activated, the service is considered delivered.

Because of the limited number of positions and the bespoke nature of the placement, refunds are not offered after activation, except where required by applicable law or where a technical failure on our side makes it impossible to display the accepted placement at all.

Payment disputes are handled in accordance with the rules of the relevant payment provider and applicable law.

5. Display Names, Conduct, and Removal

The Curator may refuse, edit, or remove a display name if it is unlawful, misleading, offensive, defamatory, impersonates another person, infringes third-party rights, or otherwise conflicts with the integrity of the platform.

A position may also be removed if the applicant provided false information, used fraudulent credentials, or attempted to misrepresent their identity. In such cases, no refund is owed unless required by applicable law.

6. Scope of the Service and Limitation of Liability

The Private Twenty is a symbolic digital presence service and a private communication circle. It does not guarantee financial return, social media growth, business opportunities, public recognition, or any real-world status, influence, or commercial result.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the total liability of The Private Twenty for any operational error or service issue is limited to the amount paid by the individual user for the affected placement.

7. Data Privacy and Retention

Application data is used only to review applications, issue invitations, process accepted placements, and manage access to the private communication circle.

If an application is rejected, withdrawn, or expires, personal data connected to that application is deleted within thirty (30) days, unless a longer retention period is required by law or necessary to resolve a dispute.

For accepted members, contact details are retained only for internal communication, verification, payment administration, and access management. Personal data is handled with reasonable technical and organisational safeguards and is not sold to third parties.
