3.1The Services

Ticketgateway hereby grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sub licensable (except to sub-Users registered via the Services), revocable (in accordance with Section 4 of the Terms of Service), limited right to access and use the Services solely for the purposes of (a) browsing the Services and searching for, viewing, registering for or purchasing tickets or making donations to an event that is registered on the Services; and/or (b) if you are an Organizer, creating event registration, speaker profile, organizer profile, fundraising and other webpages with respect to, and promoting, managing, tracking, and collecting sales proceeds for, an event, in each case (i) in compliance with these Terms of Use and the Terms of Service; and (ii) to the extent permitted under all applicable local, state, provincial, national and other laws, rules and regulations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you shall not, and shall not permit anyone else to, directly or indirectly (A) copy, modify, reproduce, translate, localize, port or otherwise create derivatives of any part of the Services; (B) reverse engineer, disassemble, decompile or otherwise attempt to discover the source code or structure, sequence and organization of all or any part of the Services (except that this restriction shall not apply to the limited extent restrictions on reverse engineering are prohibited by applicable local, state, provincial, national or other law, rule or regulation); (C) rent, lease, resell, distribute, use the Services for timesharing, service bureau or other commercial purposes not contemplated by this paragraph or otherwise exploit the Services in any unauthorized or unintended manner; (D) remove or alter any proprietary notices or labels on or in the Services; or (E) engage in any activity that interferes with or disrupts the Services.

This right to access and use the Applications may be revoked in accordance with Section 4 of the Terms of Service and Ticketgateway may discontinue or modify the Applications as set forth in Section 12 below.

4.1 Listing Service And Limited Agent

Ticketgateway is not the organizer or owner of the events listed for sale or registration on the Services. Ticketgateway provides the Services, which allow Organizers to list and promote their events, but all sales are made by the respective Organizer listed on the applicable event page. In the event that an Organizer has elected to use Ticketgateway' s Payment Processing Service, Ticketgateway also acts as the Organizer's limited agent solely for the purpose of using its third-party payment providers to collect payments made by Attendees on the Services with respect to an event and passing such payments through to the applicable Organizer. It is the Organizer's sole obligation to ensure that any event page posting on the Services and the nature and conduct of the underlying event meet all applicable local, state, provincial, national and other laws, rules and regulations, and that the goods and services described in any event page posting are actually delivered in a satisfactory manner.

4.2 Selection Of Payment Processing Method

As an Organizer, you may select your preferred payment processing method for your event, provided, that once you sell the first ticket to an event you may not change the payment processing method for that event. As an Attendee, you will be using whatever payment processing method the Organizer of the applicable event has selected. If the Organizer has selected a payment processing method that uses a third party to process the payment, then neither Ticketgateway or any of its third-party payment processing partners processes the transaction but may transmit your payment details to the Organizer's designated payment provider. If the Organizer has elected to use Ticketgateway' s Payment Processing Service, Ticketgateway will use third party payment processing partners to process the transaction as Organizer's limited payment agent.

4.3 Fees

Creating an account, listing an event and accessing the Services is free. We charge our fees only when you sell or buy paid tickets or registrations. All descriptions of standard fees on the Services represent the standard fees that Ticketgateway charges to Organizers. These fees may vary based on individual agreements between Ticketgateway and certain Organizers. Organizers ultimately choose if these fees will be passed along to Attendees and shown as "Fees" on the applicable event page or absorbed into the ticket or registration price and paid by the Organizer out of ticket and registration gross proceeds. The fees charged to Attendees may include certain other charges, including without limitation, facility fees, royalties, taxes, processing fees and fulfillment fees. Therefore, the fees paid by Attendees for an event are not necessarily the same as those charged by Ticketgateway to the applicable Organizer or the standard fees described on the Services to Organizers. In addition, certain fees are meant, on average, to defray certain costs incurred by Ticketgateway, but may in some cases include an element of profit and in some cases, include an element of loss. Ticketgateway does not control (and thus cannot disclose) fees levied by your bank and/or credit card company, including fees for purchasing tickets and registrations in foreign currencies or from foreign persons. Be sure to check with your bank or credit card company prior to engaging in a transaction to understand all applicable fees, credit card surcharges and currency conversion rates.

4.4 Refunds

Because all transactions are between an Organizer and its respective Attendees, Ticketgateway asks that all Attendees contact the applicable Organizer of their event with any refund requests. You can find help with getting a refund here. Organizers agree to post and maintain a refund policy on each event page and that refund policy will govern, provided that the refund policy must be consistent with Ticketgateway' s Attendee Refund Policy Requirements available here. In the event that an Organizer has not responded to a refund request within two (2) business days or there is a dispute between an Organizer and an Attendee that cannot be resolved, either party may contact Ticketgateway. Ticketgateway may, in its discretion, attempt to mediate such dispute, however, Ticketgateway will have no liability for (a) an Organizer's failure to give refunds; (b) Ticketgateway' s failure to mediate a dispute; or (c) Ticketgateway' s decision if it does mediate the dispute.

5.1 Email Tools

Ticketgateway may make available to you features and tools that allow you to contact other users of the Services or third parties via email (the "Email Tools"). In the event that you use these Email Tools, you represent, warrant and agree that:

  • you have all right and authority necessary to send emails to the addresses on your recipient list, including without limitation, that such addresses were gathered on an opt-in basis in any jurisdiction where that is required by applicable local, state, provincial, national or other law, rule or regulation, and your emailing of such addresses complies with the privacy policy under which the recipient emails were gathered and which was disclosed to recipients at the time of gathering;
  • your use of the Email Tools is in compliance with all applicable local, state, provincial, national and other laws, rules and regulations, including those relating to spam and email;
  • your use of the Email Tools will be solely to advertise, promote and/or manage a bona fide event that you have listed on the Services;
  • your use of the Email Tools and the content of your emails complies with Section 8.1 of these Terms of Use;
  • you will not use false or misleading headers or deceptive subject lines in emails sent using the Email Tools;
  • you will identify the email message as an advertisement or commercial in nature;
  • you will not hide, disable, remove, or attempt to hide, disable or remove the unsubscribe link that Ticketgateway includes on every email; and
  • you will not email any person that you know or have reason to know has opted out of receiving emails from you.

5.2 Remedies

If you fail to abide by any of the foregoing, if your use of the Email Tools results in bounce rates, complaint rates or unsubscribe requests in excess of industry standards or if your emails are found to cause disruption to the Services, Ticketgateway may, among other actions, limit or suspend your access to the Email Tools.

6.1 Registration

As part of certain registration processes on the Services, you will create an account or change or add information about your account. You agree (a) to provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself, or if you are using the Services on behalf of an entity, the entity, as prompted by each Service registration form (the "Registration Data"); and (b) to maintain and promptly update the Registration Data to keep it true, accurate, current and complete. In the event of any dispute between two or more parties as to account ownership, you agree that Ticketgateway shall be the sole arbiter of such dispute in its discretion and that ticket gateway's decision (which may include termination or suspension of any account subject to dispute) shall be final and binding on all parties.

6.2 Security

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and account details, and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your account, including without limitation, all actions by sub-users registered under your account. You agree to immediately notify Ticketgateway of any unauthorized use of your password or account or any other breach of security.

6.3 Age Restrictions

For this reason, and to be consistent with the terms of use of any third-party service providers used by Ticketgateway, you must be at least eighteen (18) years of age, or the legal age of majority where you reside, to use the Services. Otherwise you may use the Services only with the involvement of a parent or guardian. In any event, you may not use the Services if you are under the age of thirteen (13).

All such sub-domains are the sole property of Ticketgateway and we reserve the right to determine the appearance, design, functionality and all other aspects of such sub-domains. In the event Ticketgateway provides you with a sub-domain, your right to use such sub-domain will continue only for so long as your event is actively selling on the Services and you are in compliance with the Terms of Service, including without limitation, these Terms of Use. If Ticketgateway terminates your right to use a sub-domain for any other reason, it will provide you with a new sub-domain.

The additional terms and conditions relating to Public Affiliate Marketing Programs are available and are incorporated into these Terms of Use by reference.

11.1 additional services

Ticketgateway may, upon request, and for such fees as Ticketgateway may establish from time to time in its sole discretion, provide additional services to you beyond the basic functionality of the Site and Applications, including without limitation, marketing and promotion services, leasing ticket scanning and other equipment, providing on-site entry management consultants to assist you with your event set-up and providing dedicated account management services. All such additional services, whether provided prior to, during or following your event, shall be deemed a part of the Services and subject to all the terms and conditions of the Terms of Service, including without limitation, these Terms of Use. Such additional services shall be set forth in additional terms and conditions or other written agreements between you and an authorized officer of Ticketgateway, and shall set forth the applicable fees and the other terms and conditions relating to such additional services.

12.1 service modifications

Ticketgateway isn't a job shop, it isn't a white label solution and it isn't a walled garden built specifically for each Organizer. Ticketgateway is one of the broadest and most full featured event ticketing and registration platforms in the world. We are constantly evolving our products and services to better meet the needs of our entire user base. Because of this, we do not guarantee any set of product features or functionality and reserve the right at any time to, and from time to time may, modify, suspend or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, any part of the Services for any reason. Because you only pay fees to Ticketgateway as you use the Services, there would be no refund of fees already due following any such change to the Services.

14.1 Privacy Policy

All information provided by Users or collected by Ticketgateway in connection with the Services is governed by Ticketgateway's Privacy Policy. The Privacy Policy is incorporated into the Terms of Service by reference. Ticketgateway strongly recommends that you review the Privacy Policy.

14.2 Co-Ownership

Ticketgateway follows a "co-ownership model" with respect to Attendee Information (as defined below). This means that all Attendee Information inputted by an Attendee on event pages posted by an Organizer on the Services will be shared with the applicable Organizer and may also be used by Ticketgateway in accordance with our Privacy Policy, including marketing or promotion of other events or services that may be of interest to the applicable Attendee. Note that Payment Data (as defined below) will not be shared with Organizers. Each Attendee acknowledges and agrees to this sharing and understands and agrees that each Organizer is solely responsible for the use of Attendee Information that was provided to such Organizer through the Services and that Ticketgateway is responsible only for its own use of Attendee Information. Each Organizer represents, warrants and agrees that (a) it will at all times comply with all applicable local, state, provincial, national and other laws, rules and regulations with respect to Attendee Information; (b) it will at all times comply with any applicable policies posted on the Services with respect to Attendee Information; and (c) upon a request of a given Attendee or as permitted in Section 8.2 of these Terms of Use, Ticketgateway is authorized at its discretion to delete or anonymize Attendee Information of a requesting Attendee from the Services at which time it will no longer be available to Organizer through the Services or will no longer be linked to an identifiable Attendee through the Services. However, Attendees should note that Attendee Information may still be available in the Organizer's own databases if transmitted prior to Ticketgateway receiving the underlying request. For purposes of this Section, "Attendee Information" means information about a given Attendee made available on or through the Services, including, without limitation, name, address, e-mail address, past event attendance, event interests, credit card type, last 4 credit card digits and phone numbers, but excluding Payment Data.

14.3 Payment Data

Ticketgateway will not share with an Organizer any Payment Data. "Payment Data" means any full credit card number or other full payment account number and the related expiration date and security code entered by an Attendee on the Services in order to purchase a ticket or registration, make a donation or purchase merchandise related to events, so long as such information is entered in the fields under "Payment" on the order payment page. Note that if an Attendee enters such information in other areas of the Services or otherwise provides it to another User, it may not be encrypted and may be automatically shared with the applicable Organizer, so Attendees should enter such information only under "Payment" on the order payment page.

15.1 US Export Laws

The Services are subject to United States export controls and economic sanctions laws. In accepting these Terms of Service, you represent and warrant that:

you are not located in, and you are not a national or resident of, any country to which the United States, United Kingdom, European Union, Australia or Canada has embargoed goods and/or services of the same type as the Services ("Restricted Countries"), including without limitation, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan or Syria and

In an ongoing effort to better understand and serve the users of the Services, we often conduct research on our customer demographics, interests and behavior based on Personal Data and other information that we have collected. This research may be compiled and analyzed on an aggregate basis and this aggregate information does not identify you personally and therefore is considered and treated as Non-Personal Data under this Privacy Policy.

International Privacy Laws

We will hold and process your Personal Data in accordance with privacy laws in the United States and this Privacy Policy. Please note that privacy laws in the United States may not be the same as, and in some cases, may be less protective than, the privacy laws in your country, and while in the United States Personal Data may be subject to lawful access requests by government agencies.

  • Ticketgateway Marketing Communications

    Ticketgateway may send you electronic communications marketing or advertising the Services themselves or events on the Services, to the extent you have registered for the Services or purchased a ticket and/or registration to an event listed on the Services. You can "opt out" of receiving these electronic communications by clicking on the "Unsubscribe" link at the bottom of any such electronic communication. In addition, you may also manage your email preferences at any time by logging in (or signing up and then logging in), clicking on "Account" and then "Email Preferences."

  • Organizer Initiated Communications

    Organizers may use our email tools to send electronic communications to those on their email subscription lists, including Attendees who have registered for their events on the Services in the past. Although these electronic communications are sent through our system, Ticketgateway does not determine the content or the recipients of these electronic communications. Organizers are required to use our email tools only in accordance with all applicable laws. Ticketgateway provides an "Unsubscribe" link on each of these emails, which allows recipients to "opt out" of electronic communications from the particular Organizer.

  • Social Notifications

    If you connect your Facebook account or sign up for other social media integrations whose product features include social notifications (i.e., updates on what your friends are doing on the Services), you will receive these social notifications. You can manage these social notifications by toggling your social settings to private or disconnecting such integration

  • Transactional or Responsive Communications

    Certain electronic communications from Ticketgateway are responsive to your requests. For instance, if you are an Attendee, we must email you your ticket or registration when you purchase such ticket or registration. As a further example, if you email our customer support department, we will return your email. Notwithstanding any unsubscribe election that you have made, you will still receive these emails. You can stop receiving these types of emails only by contacting us. By electing to stop receiving all electronic communications from us or through our system you will no longer receive any updates on events you have created (including payout issues) or on events you are registered to attend (including emails with your tickets). We do not recommend that you do this unless you plan to no longer use the Services, are not currently registered for an event, are not currently organizing an event and will have no need to receive further communications from us or through our system

Even after you opt out of all electronic communications, we will retain your Personal Data in accordance with this Privacy Policy, however, we will no longer use it to contact you. However, Organizers who have received your Personal Data in accordance with this Privacy Policy may still use that Personal Data to contact you in accordance with their own privacy policies, but they may not use our system to do so.

  • Do Not Track

    We currently do not participate in any "Do Not Track" frameworks that would allow us to respond to signals or other mechanisms from you regarding the collection of your Personal Data.Exclusions
