1.1 Introduction. Welcome
to SportsandEventsTickets.com's online ticket exchange (the "Site"). These Terms
and Conditions (including any documents referred to in it)
("Agreement") list the terms of the agreement between you and
Sport Ticket Expert LLC ("SportsandEventsTickets.com" or "We" or
"Us") for the buying and selling of tickets ("Tickets"),
and all other services that We provide (the "Services"). By using our
Site, You agree to accept this Agreement.
1.2 Ticketing Exchange. SportsandEventsTickets.com
provides a service that allows members who want to buy tickets
("Buyers") to find members who want to sell tickets
("Sellers"). SportsandEventsTickets.com does not take title to the underlying
ticket and the actual transactions are between the Buyers and Sellers. Once
Buyer and Seller have entered into a transaction, all transactions are covered
by the SportsandEventsTickets.com Guarantee.
1.3
SportsandEventsTickets.com Guarantee. When You purchase tickets on
SportsandEventsTickets.com, SportsandEventsTickets.com guarantees that You will receive the tickets
You paid for in time for the event. In the rare instance that a problem arises
and the original ticket Seller does not provide You with the tickets listed for
sale, SportsandEventsTickets.com will, in its sole and absolute discretion, review
comparably priced tickets and offer You replacement tickets at no additional
cost, or SportsandEventsTickets.com will issue You a refund for the cost of the tickets.
"Comparably priced" replacement tickets are determined by
SportsandEventsTickets.com in its sole and absolute discretion. When You sell tickets on
SportsandEventsTickets.com, provided you provide the exact tickets listed for sale and the
ticket Buyer successfully gains entry to the event, SportsandEventsTickets.com guarantees
that you will be paid for your sale.
1.4 Modification. If We
change this Agreement, We shall post a revised version of this Agreement, which
shall automatically replace the terms of this Agreement. The revised version of
this Agreement is automatically effective after it is initially posted on the
Site. Your continued use of the Site and the Services following
SportsandEventsTickets.com's posting of a revised Agreement will constitute Your
acceptance of the revised Agreement. If You do not agree with the terms of this
Agreement or any revised version of this Agreement, do not continue to use the
Services or this Site.
2.1 Requirements. To be
a member of this Site, You must agree to accept the terms in this Agreement.
You may only use the Services if You can legally enter into and form binding
contracts. If You do not qualify, do not use the Services.
2.2 Registration. We
will not allow You to buy or sell tickets before You have registered with Us.
To register, You must provide your real name, address, phone number, and email
address.
2.3 Username and Password. You
will need a username and password to access the Site and use the Services. You
are responsible for maintaining the security of your username and password and
You are responsible for any action taken under your username or password.
2.4 Listing. To
sell tickets, a Seller lists the tickets in the Site database. As part of the
listing process, the Seller assigns a price to the tickets and provides
information including but not limited to the event, date, section, seat, and
row, and sale end date, all in accordance with the process outlined in the help
pages. When listing seated tickets, all tickets in the same listing must be
consecutive seats. If tickets are not consecutive, then the Seller must create
a separate listing. If a Seller sends tickets that are not consecutive, but
listed them as so, SportsandEventsTickets.com may charge the seller a replacement fee and
other charges, as specified in Section 5. "Piggyback" tickets may not
be sold in the same listing. "Piggyback" tickets are for seats that
are directly behind each other.To list as a Seller, You must provide a valid
credit or debit card. You also grant Us a non-exclusive, transferable,
worldwide, paid-up, royalty-free right and license to reproduce, modify, adapt,
publish and display on the Site and on the sites of our marketing partners your
descriptions of tickets listed for sale. This is so we can promote the sale of
tickets and items that You list for sale.
2.5 Sales Tax. The
Seller is responsible for determining whether it/he/she is required to account
for sales or value added tax on the sale of the ticket. SportsandEventsTickets.com takes
no responsibility for such issues. If the Seller is required to account for
sales or value added tax (US or other) on the sale of the ticket, the Seller
should include the sales or value added tax (i.e., total) price when setting
ticket prices on the website. Note that this is separate from any sales or
value added tax SportsandEventsTickets.com is required to charge on its fees.
2.6 Making an Offer. A
member who wants to buy a ticket first scans the SportsandEventsTickets.com database for
tickets listed by Sellers that match the Buyer's desired tickets. Once the
Buyer finds a matching ticket, the Buyer notifies SportsandEventsTickets.com with an
"offer" that the Buyer is willing to purchase the ticket. Note that
the Seller may or may not be required to charge you sales or value added tax on
the sale of your ticket. Thus, the ticket price shown (before our fees) may
include sales or value added tax (US or other) as appropriate. Please note this
does not include any sales or value added tax that may be payable on
SportsandEventsTickets.com’s fees. As a Buyer, You grant SportsandEventsTickets.com permission to
charge your credit card, debit card, PayPal account, or bank account for the
purchase of the selected tickets.
2.7 Payment Authorization. When
We receive an offer by credit or debit card, We obtain an authorization from
the Buyer's credit or debit card equal to the price, booking fees and delivery
fees for the tickets. We will also add sales or value added tax on our fees as
applicable. The authorization will remain on the Buyer's credit or debit card
until the sale is completed or the order is cancelled. When We receive an offer
by PayPal, We will obtain an authorization from the Buyer's PayPal account
equal to the price, booking fees and delivery fees for the tickets. We will
also add sales or value added tax on our fees as applicable. When We receive an
offer by bank transfer, We will check to see if the bank account is valid.
2.8 Notification. Once
We obtain an authorisation from the Buyer, We notify the Seller of the sale via
email and/or telephone, and We confirm to the Seller that the Buyer is willing
to pay the listed price, booking fees, delivery fees, and taxes on our fees.
Please note, selling prices for tickets traded on SportsandEventsTickets.com may differ
from their original ‘face value’ (i.e. the price it is sold for on the primary
market). Additional information can be found in our FAQ’s and on the ticket
details pages.
2.9 Seller's Confirmation
Obligation. Except as noted in Section 2.9 a), the Seller must confirm
the order within forty eight (48) hours of the sale of the tickets. Sellers
should use our automated online confirmation process. Sellers will be able to
see the service fee and taxes on our fees before completing the sell process
and committing to sell their tickets. Sellers have forty-eight (48) hours from
the time of sale of the tickets to "Report a Problem" if they are
unable to deliver the exact tickets listed for sale. Sellers can "Report a
Problem" using the "Report a Problem" link on the online
confirmation page. In the case a Seller has not confirmed a sale within forty
eight (48) hours, or in the case a Seller "Reports a Problem" the
Seller, including without limitation, may be subject to a replacement fee,
other charges, and/or other consequences as specified in Section 5.
2.9 a) Exception to Seller’s
Obligation to Confirm. Sellers who commit to send tickets
directly to SportsandEventsTickets.com are not required to confirm the order. Such sellers
have no right to "Report a Problem" and the order is automatically
confirmed immediately after the sale. If the listed ticket is not delivered,
SportsandEventsTickets.com shall have the right to charge the Seller a replacement fee and
other charges, as specified in Section 5.
2.10 Collecting Payment. Upon
confirmation that the Seller is sending an item, We collect payment from the
Buyer for the listed price, booking fees, delivery fees, and taxes on our fees.
At no time do We provide the Buyer's payment information to the Seller. The
money is paid to us, and the Seller is compensated for the sale according to
their selected payment method and the payment policy in the help pages.
2.11
Ticket Fulfillment. Once the Seller lists tickets
for sale, the Buyer purchases these tickets, and the Seller has confirmed the
sale, the Seller is responsible for completing the transaction with the exact
tickets the Seller has listed. Tickets sales must be fulfilled via the delivery
method indicated at the time of sale directly to the Buyer and no later than
the shipping deadline communicated to the seller at the time of sale
("Must Ship By Date").
If the Seller lists tickets for sale, confirms the sale and then is unable to
deliver the exact tickets listed, SportsandEventsTickets.com reserves the right to cancel
the Seller’s sale, find replacement tickets for the Buyer and the Sellers may
be subject to a replacement fee, other charges, and/or other consequences, as
specified in Section 5. Invalid tickets: If buyers are refused entry to the
venue as a result of invalid tickets we may refund the buyer at any time.
Invalid tickets are defined as anything where buyers are refused entry. We will
collect proof where this is possible but in some cases SportsandEventsTickets.com reserves
the right to refund the buyer and not pay the seller even if proof of non entry
is not presented. In the event that an event is cancelled or re-scheduled,
SportsandEventsTickets.com reserves the right to cancel a seller’s transaction. If for any
reason your tickets are returned to Us or cannot be delivered We will attempt
redelivery up to a maximum of three times. We endeavour to rearrange delivery
with the customer or arrange a collection point. If this is also unsuccessful
We will not offer a refund. We attempt to ensure all tickets are delivered in
time for the event, time scale permitting We may require a venue or box office
collection (‘pick-up’).
2.12 Seller Payment. The
Seller will be paid 7 - 10 working days after event if the delivery of the
tickets was successful to the buyer. We reserve the right to withhold payment
if We have a good faith basis to believe such sales were unlawful or otherwise
made in material violation of this agreement.
2.13 Ticket Information. Event
dates, times, venues and subject matter, which are listed on the ticket, may
change. It is up to the Buyer to verify the most recent changes by contacting
the box office or referring to official listings for any changes.
2.14 Substituted Seat
Locations. Ticket listings are a representation of actual seat
location. Tickets may be substituted with comparable or better seat locations
without the Buyers’ approval.
2.15 Claims under the
SportsandEventsTickets.com Guarantee. If You receive tickets from the Seller
that are not the tickets you ordered or tickets that are invalid and not
honoured at the venue, we strongly advise you to Contact Us to report the
issue. Issues must be reported within 7 days after receiving the tickets
otherwise this will no longer be covered by the SportsandEventsTickets.com Guarantee.
Should you experience problems with your tickets on the day of the event you
must contact SportsandEventsTickets.com within 48 hours of the incident to report the
issue. In certain circumstances, you may be required to complete a Dispute
Claim Form and provide additional information in order to claim a refund. Forms
must be returned to SportsandEventsTickets.com 5 working days after receiving them, in
order to apply for a refund. SportsandEventsTickets.com reserves the right to prohibit
anyone who brings a fraudulent claim from having further access to our website.
2.16 Season Cards. In
the event that the Buyer fails to return a Season Card to SportsandEventsTickets.com
within 24 hours of the event concluding, the Buyer agrees that SportsandEventsTickets.com
may charge an additional "failure to return fee" of 250-300 USD per
season card that is not returned to the payment method that was used to
purchase the tickets. This charge is in addition to the amount originally paid
for the tickets.
