THE TICKETPORT'S ROLE

C.1  Listing Service And Limited Agent

The Ticketport is not the Promoter or owner of the events listed for sale or registration on the Services. The Ticketport provides the Services, which allow Promoters to list and promote their events, but the respective Promoter listed on the applicable event page makes all sales. In the event that an Promoter has elected to use The Ticketport’s Payment Processing Service, The Ticketport also acts as the Promoter’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 Promoter. It is the Promoter’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.

 

C.2  Selection Of Payment Processing Method

You have 2 options for payment processing.

  1. Credit Card
  2. Bank Debit Card

 

C.3  Fees

Creating an account, listing an event and accessing the Services are 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 The Ticketport charges to Promoters. These fees may vary based on individual agreements between The Ticketport and certain Promoters. Promoters 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 Promoter 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 The Ticketport to the applicable Promoter or the standard fees described on the Services to Promoters. In addition, certain fees are meant, on average, to defray certain costs incurred by The Ticketport, but may in some cases include an element of profit and in some cases, include an element of loss. The Ticketport 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. The Ticketport does not and will not collect and taxes for promoters and orginisers, unless requested. Once requested to collect taxes on an event ticket, a 13% (Ontario) fee will be added to the ticket price. 

 

C.4  Refunds

Because all transactions are between an Promoter and its respective Attendees, The Ticketport asks that all Attendees contact the applicable Promoter of their event with any refund requests. Promoters 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 The Ticketport’s Attendee Refund Policy Requirements available here. In the event that an Promoter has not responded to a refund request within two (2) business days or there is a dispute between an Promoter and an Attendee that cannot be resolved, either party may contact The Ticketport. The Ticketport may, in its discretion, attempt to mediate such dispute, however, The Ticketport will have no liability for (a) an Promoter’s failure to give refunds; (b) The Ticketport’s failure to mediate a dispute; or (c) The Ticketport’s decision if it does mediate the dispute.(d) In the evnet of a refund, ONLY the value of the ticket is refunded. The Ticketport follows industry standards, and the service charges NEVER gets refunded.

L.2  Co-Ownership

The Ticketport 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 Promoter on the Services will be shared with the applicable Promoter and may also be used by The Ticketport 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 Promoters. Each Attendee acknowledges and agrees to this sharing and understands and agrees that each Promoter is solely responsible for the use of Attendee Information that was provided to such Promoter through the Services and that The Ticketport is responsible only for its own use of Attendee Information. Each Promoter represents, warrants and agrees that It will at all times comply with all applicable local, state, provincial, national and other laws, rules and regulations with respect to Attendee Information; It will at all times comply with any applicable policies posted on the Services with respect to Attendee Information; and Upon a request of a given Attendee or as permitted in Section 8.2 of these Terms of Use, The Ticketport 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 Promoter through the Services or will no longer be linked to an identifiable Attendee through the Services.

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.

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 Promoter, so Attendees should enter such information only under “Payment” on the order payment page.
