Community Agreements

As a Groover, you agree to... Hint: click the little arrows to read more details 👇

Lead with kindness and respect

  • Respect everyone’s time. Folks are coming to Groove to get sh*t done, while getting a bit of social interaction. If you’d like to hang beyond just saying hello and sharing what you’re up to in the Groove, ask others if they’re cool with that too.
  • Be present with one another. Minimize distractions for a few minutes to listen to what others are sharing.
  • Ask permission before taking a picture/video of other Groovers or sharing something they said inside a Groove.

✅ Help make Groove an energizing, welcoming community

  • Include others. Groove by design allows up to four Groovers to work together. If someone hops in after you already started talking, say hi and bring them up to speed.
  • Welcome first-time Groovers and invite friends. We encourage you to invite people who share our values and would benefit from Grooving. If someone is new to Grooving, try to answer their questions and make them feel at home. If they have a 👋 next to their picture, you’ll know they’ve Grooved less than 25x.
  • Help the Groove team make things better (please 🙏). There are many different ways to contribute as a generous community member. For example: you may suggest a new feature in the tech ideas bulletin board or offer to do a quick research interview.

✅ Support other Groovers

  • Please do not pitch your services inside of a Groove coworking session. We’ve heard awesome stories of Groovers working together because they’ve built a great relationship overtime and LOVE that—however, please do not use Groove as a platform to pitch or sell. We encourage you to share what you do and any offerings in your bio.
  • Show up for others in big moments and in small (especially small!), and practice encouragement and compassion.
  • Please respect that folks have a lot of awesome knowledge and get paid for it. If you’re looking to work with another Groover and pay them for their skills, be clear with them. We’ve seen a lot of awesome projects come out of Groovers working together! Sometimes people are super generous humans and will offer to help for free. That’s cool. Just don’t take advantage of someone’s generosity.
  • Ask for clarity. If a fellow Groover is sharing a challenge, before sharing your thoughts and/or experience, ask them if they'd like you to be an ear to listen or if they'd prefer feedback.
  • Share resources (education, book recs, and tools) that may help fellow Groovers here to be featured in our “Resource Library” or other places in the community.
  • This is not a space to ask for financial help or donations.
  • Heads up: leaders and members of the Groove community are not trained experts in counseling and/or holding space for difficult conversations. We recommend checking out some of the excellent professional support services out there to talk through difficult mental health challenges.

✅ Be yourself

  • Use your real name and photo on your Groove profile. The strength of our community lives in the trust built through dialogue between Groovers. Don’t impersonate another individual or create a Groove profile that is misleading or untrue.
  • We strongly encourage you to customize your profile to include an up-to-date picture and bio to foster connection and clarity around who’s a part of Groove.

Community is at the very heart of Groove ❤️

Groove started in 2020 as a handful of friends gathering together online to craft more satisfying and fulfilling days. We’ve seen the group evolve since then into a global community, full of kind creative entrepreneurs, craving social accountability to accomplish great things and not feel so isolated as they level up their businesses and work from home.

We're grateful to celebrate each other's unique experiences, choices, habits, ways of life, and viewpoints inside this community. Through Grooving together, we're able to not only learn about each other as individuals but also the wider world.

This is a mutually agreed-upon guide for Groovers to cultivate a safe, positive, inclusive, and equitable environment where all people, voices, and experiences are welcome and heard.

These agreements are in place as a standard for how we interact together inside the Groove community. We hate to say it, but breaking these agreements or our Terms of Use may result in a disabled account, deleted content, or other restrictions.

Groove is not a place to actively sell your services. This is a place to connect with other interesting people human to human. For more details on this, toggle “support other Groovers” above.

Thank you for helping us create such a special community, where everyone feels empowered and supported to live life on their own terms, navigate their wavy career path, and think deeply about how they spend their time. We’re excited to keep building the future of Groove with all of you.

If you ever have questions, shoot us an email at hello@groove.ooo 💌 Each of us plays an important part in the Groove community. If you encounter a situation that violates our agreements, please let us know. See you back in the Groove, 🏄‍♂️

Josh, Sruli, Tova, & Taylor

  1. Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY AS IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS.

  1. 16.1. Agreement to Arbitrate

This Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration section is referred as the “Arbitration Agreement”.

You agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and Groove, whether arising out of or relating to these Terms (including any alleged breach thereof), the Services, any advertising, or any other aspect of the relationship between the parties, shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than a court, in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, except that you may assert individual claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify.

Further, this Arbitration Agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies, and such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf. You agree that, by entering into these Terms, you and Groove are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and

Unless We waive the arbitration, the arbitration will be conducted by a neutral arbitrator in accordance with the American Arbitration Association’s (“AAA”) rules and procedures, including the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules (collectively, the “AAA Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. For information on the AAA, please visit its website, http://www.adr.org. Information about the AAA Rules and fees for consumer disputes can be found at the AAA’s consumer arbitration page, https://www.adr.org/consumer. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision, or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.

Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms to the contrary, Groove agrees that if it makes any future change to this Arbitration Agreement (other than a change to the Notice Address) while you are a user of the Services, you may reject any such change by sending Groove written notice within thirty (30) calendar days of the change to the Notice Address provided above. By rejecting any future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms).
