Balancers events exist to provide inclusive, welcoming, and safe social spaces where people can connect, participate, and feel comfortable being themselves.

This Code applies to:
- All Balancers events, ticketed or free
- All Balancers-managed online spaces, including the app
- Behaviour that impacts the safety or wellbeing of the Balancers community
