Transfer of Administration and Dispute Resolution Policy

Bunchy.cc allows registered users to upload details of group rides with associated routes and timing details.

From time to time, it may be desirable or necessary to transfer administrative rights for a group ride between users voluntarily or involuntarily. Examples of involuntary circumstances giving rise to such a need reasonably include where a user has created a group when not the regular 'leader', incapacitation, loss of contact and abandonment.

Voluntary administration transfer:

• A user may generate and provide to another user who has registered an user account on Bunchy.cc a group transfer token. When the receiving user enters this group transfer token they will gain administrative rights to the group listing and the providing user will lose these rights. By providing a transfer token, the providing user agrees to transfer all rights over any content associated with the group ride on Bunchy.cc to Bunchy.cc in perpetuity.

Involuntary administrative transfer:

Bunchy.cc encourages group ride members to resolve disputes amicably and to engage in voluntary transfer wherever practicable.

When voluntary transfer cannot be achieved, the following policy will apply.

• A user who wishes to gain administrative rights to a group must:
1. Create a user account on bunchy.cc
2. Select the 'Request Admin Transfer' button for the group that they wish to gain access to.


• Bunchy.cc will complete the following actions:
1. Seek to contact the current administrator via email to encourage the user to participate in the voluntary transfer process or provide the option of group archival.
2. Allow the current administrator a 5 day response period.
3. If the user agrees to transfer ownership, provide the requesting user with a transfer key
4. If the user does not agree to transfer ownership, take no action.
5. If the user cannot be contacted, delete the group ride and notify the requesting user.

All decisions regarding group ride administration are final and at the sole discretion of Bunchy.cc.
