Community Guidelines
Keeping Indie Munich respectful, transparent, and professional.
To keep Indie Munich a safe and welcoming space, we ask everyone to follow these guidelines:
Representation
Only the co-founders, Ryan Inglis & Carolin Kumari, are to officially speak, negotiate, or make agreements on behalf of Indie Munich. No one else can present themselves as if they represent the brand, the leadership team, or the entire community.
Community Member
Anyone in the network, free to share, connect, and collaborate.
Team Member
Indie Munich management (Ryan & Carolin) or selected entrusted volunteers with official responsibilities.
Boundaries
Respect personal and professional boundaries. If someone sets a limit, accept it.
Transparency
Be clear and upfront when offering professional services. No hidden fees or surprise charges (e.g. offering "free" photos and later billing artists at full price).
Respect
Communicate in a professional and constructive way. Undermining, manipulative, or passive-aggressive behaviour is not acceptable.
No Exploitation
Don't misuse the community for fake management/booking offers or other ways of taking advantage of members.
Responsibility
Indie Munich is open to everyone, but we cannot verify every background. Please use good judgment when collaborating.
Speak up if something doesn’t feel right
We want Indie Munich to be a welcoming, respectful and safe community. If you experience or witness inappropriate, unprofessional, disrespectful or unsafe behaviour within the community, please let us know — even if it seems minor.
You can speak confidentially to Ryan, Carolin, Laura or Sarah about concerns or complaints.
Indie Munich cannot take responsibility for things that happen outside our events and community activities. We encourage everyone to use their own judgement when arranging private collaborations, meetings or projects with people they meet through the community.
However, we do want to hear about concerns involving people you have connected with through Indie Munich. Individual incidents can sometimes seem small, but knowing about them helps us recognise repeated behaviour or patterns and take appropriate action within the community when necessary.
Harassment, discrimination, intimidation, sexual harassment and other inappropriate or unsafe behaviour are not acceptable within the Indie Munich community.
