The following agreement sets forth the terms and conditions upon which Organizers can use
the
Services of the Website to create, promote and/or collect sales proceeds for an event
selling
tickets and/or registrations (this "Agreement").
By creating an Organizer account with the Website, you agree to the terms and conditions of
this
Agreement without modification and enter into a binding contract with The Fun Singles Inc,
which
will be applicable when and if you use the Services of the Website to create, promote and/or
collect
sales proceeds for an event selling tickets and/or registrations.
This Agreement and the rights and obligations contained in it are in addition to and are
incorporated into the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy of the Website by reference if
applicable to
Organizer. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to modify, waive, amend or rescind any
other
term of the said documents. Terms and words used in this Agreement shall have the same
meaning as in
the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy of the Website.
An Organizer is the sole responsible party for organizing his or her events. The Organizer,
the
venue or other 3rd parties are the only parties that can be held liable for hosting events
and for
any claims by attendees or other 3rd parties. The Website and The Fun Singles Inc shall not
be
liable for any damages or claims of any event participant (Attendee), venue provider or any
other
3rd party in connection with the event, except when specifically agreed upon in this
Agreement.
Organizers should note that the Website may use information it receives or collects
regarding event
Attendees in accordance with the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.
As part of the creation of an event or at any time following such creation, you may be
required by
the Website to provide additional information (beyond the information required to register
for the
Services) about yourself, the entity you represent (if any) and/or the principal/beneficial
owner(s)
of the entity you represent (if any) (collectively, "Additional Registration Data"). As an
example,
the Additional Registration Data may include current address, doing business as (DBA) names,
description of products, website address, bank account or other payment account information,
Tax
Identification Numbers, date of birth, passport or driver's license number, country of
origin,
copies of government identification documents and other personal information. This
information may
be used to verify your identity, the validity and/or legality of your transactions and/or
whether
you qualify to use the Services for paid events. You agree to: (a) provide this information
in a
timely, accurate and complete manner and (b) maintain and promptly update this information
in a
timely manner to ensure it remains accurate and complete at all times.
Organizer agrees that the Website is permitted to share any registration data, Additional
Registration Data and information relating to your events and transactions on the Services
with our
Payment Processing Partners (as defined below), and with your bank or other financial
institution,
in each case to the extent your transactions or events involve such third parties. In
addition, you
authorize the Website to verify your registration data and Additional Registration Data and
conduct
due diligence on you through third parties, including third party credit reporting agencies.
We reserve the right to suspend your account on the Website or to withhold any amounts due
to you in
the event that we reasonably believe that your registration data or Additional Registration
Data is
inaccurate or if you fail to provide all the requested information within the timeframes.
The Fun Singles does not and will not provide banking, deposit taking, stored value,
insurance or
any other financial services to an Organizer other than serving as a limited payment
collection
agent. To meet these ends, The Fun Singles utilizes third party gateways, payment
processors,
merchant acquirers and/or merchant acquiring banks with which we have relationships
(collectively,
"Payment Processing Partners") and both Organizers and The Fun Singles are subject to the
rules and
regulations of such Payment Processing Partners.
The Fun Singles acts as Organizer's limited payment collection agent for the purpose of
collecting
all sales proceeds from ticket, registration and merchandise sales and donations solicited
via the
Services (collectively, "Event Registration Fees") through its Payment Processing Partners.
Organizers are responsible for calculating, withholding and paying applicable state or
federal
taxes.
For convenience, The Fun Singles shows you a balance of proceeds for your events in your The
Fun
Singles account, however, that balance merely reflects the amount of Event Registration Fees
collected by our Payment Processing Partners.
Upon an order being placed by an Attendee and confirmed through The Fun Singles. The Fun Singles
generates a confirmation message and issues a unique confirmation number for such Attendee's
order.
Organizer agrees to unconditionally accept, honor and fulfill all ticketing, registration,
merchandise and donation commitments that have been confirmed by The Fun Singles through the
Services, and it is Organizer's responsibility to verify an Attendee's confirmation number
and/or
any event restrictions prior to the applicable event.
Organizer agrees to pay The Fun Singles all applicable service fees for each ticket,
registration or
other item sold via the Services (the "Service Fee"). Organizer agrees to pay Service Fee
for each
ticket, registration or other item sold via the Services. Service Fee is $1.00 per ticket
plus 4% of
ticket price.
Payment processing occurs directly through our Payment Processing Partners. Within ten (10)
business
days after the successful completion of an event, if no refund requests are made within the
time
period specified in the Terms of Use, Refund Policy and Privacy Policy of the Website, The
Fun
Singles will cause its Payment Processing Partners to pass along all Event Registration Fees
related
to such event that have been collected by our Payment Processing Partners, subject to (i)
deduction
of all applicable Fees then due (see prior paragraph); and (ii) any other deductions
authorized
pursuant to this Agreement. You are not a direct party to any agreement with any Payment
Processing
Partner, nor are you a third party beneficiary of any such agreement.
With respect to any events, Organizer hereby appoints The Fun Singles as Organizer's limited
payment
collection agent solely for the purpose of collecting payments made by Attendees for such
events
through our Payment Processing Partners. Organizer agrees that a payment made by an Attendee
to The Fun Singles shall be considered the same as a payment made by an Attendee directly to
Organizer and
Organizer will sell or provide all advertised goods and services to the Attendee as if
Organizer had
directly received the Event Registration Fees from such Attendee, regardless of whether the
Event
Registration Fees have yet to be received from The Fun Singles. Organizer agrees that in its
role as
limited agent, The Fun Singles is authorized to (i) enable Attendees to transfer or upgrade
a ticket
and/or registration (if such transfers are permitted by Organizer during the event
registration
process); (ii) hold, disburse and retain proceeds on Organizer's behalf pursuant to this
Agreement;
(iii) issue refunds to Attendees as set forth in this Agreement; and (iv) manage credit card
chargebacks as set forth in this Agreement. In accepting appointment as the limited agent of
Organizer, The Fun Singles assumes no liability for any acts or omissions of Organizer and
Organizer
understands that The Fun Singles' obligation to pay Organizer is subject to and conditional
upon
receipt of the associated Event Registration Fees from Attendees. Organizer further
authorizes The Fun Singles to delegate its obligations under this Agreement to certain of its affiliated
entities
both within and outside the United States, provided, that The Fun Singles will remain liable
for the
discharge of its obligations under this Agreement by such affiliated entities.
Organizer agrees that all Event Registration Fees for a given event are earned by Organizer
only
following conclusion of the applicable event. The Fun Singles, in its discretion, may
determine to
advance a portion of Event Registration Fees to Organizer prior to the period set forth in
this
Agreement, on such terms and conditions as we may establish from time to time. Such terms
will be
agreed to by Organizer and The Fun Singles in a separate Addendum Agreement or separate
terms and
conditions made available at the time the advance is agreed to. Organizer agrees that any
payments
made by The Fun Singles of Event Registration Fees prior to the fifth (5th) business day
after the
end date of the applicable event are merely advances of amounts that may become due to
Organizer
under this Agreement and that The Fun Singles may demand back such advances (or any portion
thereof)
from time to time in its discretion based upon the level of refunds, disputed charges,
chargebacks,
customer complaints, allegations of fraud, changes in Organizer's credit profile or the
underlying
event(s)' risk profile, or breaches of the Terms of Service, including this Agreement. Upon
receipt
of notice of any such demand, Organizer shall thereupon promptly pay back to The Fun Singles
the
portion of any such advance demanded.
No payments shall be made to Organizer with respect to any event that is cancelled or with
respect
to which The Fun Singles believes there is a risk of cancellation or non-performance, unless
The Fun
Singles receives adequate security (as determined by The Fun Singles in its discretion) for
Organizer's obligations under this Agreement. In addition, no Event Registration Fees for a
given
event shall be earned until that event is successfully completed. If payments have already
been made
to an Organizer for a cancelled event, Organizer will immediately refund to a payment
address
designated by The Fun Singles all such payments upon cancellation of such event for the
purpose of
effecting refunds if refunds are being made under the Terms of Use, Refund Policy and
Privacy Policy
of the Website.
Any credit card chargebacks or other transaction reversals initiated against The Fun Singles
or its
affiliates for any reason (except to the extent they are caused solely by The Fun Singles'
negligence or willful misconduct) with respect to an Organizer's event and all related
credit card
association, payment processing, re-presentment, penalty and other fees and expenses
incurred by The Fun Singles or its affiliates in connection with such chargebacks shall ultimately be the
responsibility of Organizer, and Organizer agrees to promptly and fully reimburse The Fun
Singles
for such amounts on demand. As part of The Fun Singles' limited payment collection agency,
The Fun
Singles will use commercially reasonable efforts to manage the re-presentment of such
chargebacks
and reversals on behalf of Organizer and Organizer hereby authorizes The Fun Singles to do
so and
agrees to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with The Fun Singles in such re-presentment.
However,
The Fun Singles shall have no obligation to re-present any chargeback that it believes in
its
discretion it is more likely than not to lose or that relates to a transaction that should
be
refunded in accordance with the Organizer's refund policy or the provisions of this
Agreement. Both
parties agree that The Fun Singles' loss of any chargeback that has been re-presented by The
Fun
Singles shall not in any way limit Organizer's obligation to reimburse The Fun Singles and
its
affiliates under this paragraph.
Organizer agrees to communicate a refund policy to Attendees with respect to each event
posted on
the Services. The Refund Policy is incorporated by reference into this Agreement. All
refunds must
be processed through The Fun Singles, unless otherwise agreed by The Fun Singles. Organizer
can not
issue refunds to Attendees directly. The Fun Singles may determine in its discretion not to
process
any refunds.
All disputes regarding refunds are between Organizer and its Attendees. In the event of a
dispute,
The Fun Singles may try to mediate, but ultimately it is Organizer's obligation to settle
the
dispute. Notwithstanding the foregoing, The Fun Singles shall have the right to make refunds
on
Organizer's behalf as set forth in this Agreement and Refund Policy.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Organizer authorizes The Fun Singles to make refunds in the
following
situations (i) Organizer specifically authorizes the refunds at the time; (ii) The Fun
Singles
believes in its discretion that specific orders should be refunded under Refund Policy,
including
without limitation, that they are required by applicable local, state, provincial, national
or other
law, rule or regulation, this Agreement or other applicable rules; (iii) The Fun Singles
believes in
its discretion that the refund request, if not granted, will lead to a chargeback that The
Fun
Singles is more likely than not to lose; (iv) Organizer failed to list Refund Policy on the
applicable event page and The Fun Singles believes in its discretion that a refund would be
reasonable under the circumstances; (v) The Fun Singles believes in its discretion that
specific
orders are fraudulent (e.g., made with stolen credit cards or otherwise not bona fide
transactions);
or (vi) The Fun Singles believes in its discretion that the order is a duplicate. Organizer
also
authorizes The Fun Singles to make refunds of any and all orders (including those for
unrelated
events) if (A) The Fun Singles believes in its discretion that Organizer has engaged in any
fraudulent activity or made any misrepresentations; (B) The Fun Singles believes in its
discretion
that there is substantial risk of nonperformance by Organizer with respect to the applicable
event
or future events; (C) The Fun Singles believes in its discretion that it is likely to
receive
complaints, refund requests, transaction reversals and/or chargebacks with respect to a
substantial
amount of orders; or (D) The Fun Singles believes in its discretion that Organizer is a
Prohibited
Merchant, has used the Services to process Prohibited Transactions or to manage Prohibited
Events or
that failing to make the refunds would otherwise expose The Fun Singles to legal liability.
Because
all sales are ultimately made by Organizers, Organizer hereby agrees to promptly and fully
reimburse
The Fun Singles and its affiliates upon demand for refunds that The Fun Singles makes
pursuant to
this Agreement, other than to the extent that the necessity for such refunds are caused by
The Fun
Singles' negligence or willful misconduct. Organizer acknowledges and agrees that
chargebacks will
result in losses to The Fun Singles in excess of the amount of the underlying transaction
and that
by refunding transactions in advance of a chargeback The Fun Singles is mitigating such
losses and
its damages with respect to Organizer's breach of this Agreement.
Privacy Policy and Refund Policy are incorporated into this Agreement and are considered to
be part
of it, so long as they do not contradict the terms of this Agreement.
In the event that Organizer fails to pay to The Fun Singles any amount owed pursuant to the
Terms of
Service (including without limitation this Agreement) when due and following a late payment
notice
being delivered by The Fun Singles, such amount shall bear interest calculated from the date
due
until paid in full at a rate equal to the lesser of (i) one percent (1%) per month,
compounded
monthly; and (ii) the maximum amount permitted by applicable local, state, provincial,
national or
other laws, rules or regulations. In the event any amounts are owed by Organizer to The Fun
Singles
under the Terms of Service (including without limitation this Agreement), The Fun Singles
may,
without limiting its other rights and remedies and to the extent permitted by applicable
local,
state, provincial, national or other laws, rules or regulations (A) withhold any amounts due
to
Organizer, whether for a particular event or for any other event that Organizer lists
through the
Services and use the withheld amount to setoff the amount owed by Organizer to The Fun
Singles;
and/or (B) send an invoice to Organizer for such amounts to the extent Organizer's
outstanding
balance is insufficient to cover these costs, in which case Organizer shall pay The Fun
Singles such
invoiced amounts within thirty (30) days after the date of the invoice. If payment for any
amounts
due to The Fun Singles hereunder is not made by Organizer when due and after receiving a
late
payment notice from The Fun Singles, The Fun Singles reserves the right, in its discretion
and
without limiting its other rights and remedies, to suspend or terminate Organizer's
registration for
the Services (including any and all accounts that Organizer may have).
Organizer agrees to promptly and fully reimburse The Fun Singles upon demand for all
out-of-pocket
costs and expenses, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses,
incurred
by The Fun Singles in collecting past due amounts from Organizer under this Agreement, the
Terms of
Service or otherwise.
Organizer is solely responsible for determining which, if any, sales, use, amusement, value
added,
consumption, excise and other taxes, duties, levies and charges (collectively, "Taxes")
apply to his
or her use of the Services. You agree that it is your sole responsibility to, and that you
will,
collect, remit and report the correct amounts of all such Taxes to the applicable
governmental
authorities, even if The Fun Singles provides you with tax tools or tax calculators that
assist you
in doing so.
The Fun Singles does not represent, warrant or guarantee that any tax tools or tax
calculators
provided to you will meet all tax requirements that may be applicable to you or that such
tax tools
or tax calculators will result in your collection or remittance of all applicable Taxes,
which Taxes
may vary based on the nature of your event, the nature of your tax status (individual,
entity,
business, consumer, etc.), your location, the location of your Attendees, credits and
deductions for
which you may qualify and other factors, and you hereby release The Fun Singles of any and
all
liability with respect to your use of the tax tools and/or tax calculators. None of such tax
tools
or tax calculators should be considered legal or tax advice. If you do collect Taxes on the
Services, those Taxes will be treated like Event Registration Fees and The Fun Singles will
pay such
amounts to you at the same time as the underlying Event Registration Fees. If you use any
tax tools
or tax calculators that require you to input a tax registration number, you represent and
warrant
that such tax registration number is true and correct. The Fun Singles cannot give you legal
or tax
advice, so please be sure to check with your own tax advisor about any applicable Taxes. In
the
event that a governmental authority requires The Fun Singles to pay any Taxes attributable
to your
use of the Services, you agree to promptly and fully reimburse The Fun Singles for such
Taxes upon
demand and all costs, penalties, interest and expenses related thereto.
All Fees charged by The Fun Singles do not include any Taxes except to the extent that a Tax
is
expressly set forth in the applicable invoice or billing statement, and you agree to pay any
Taxes
that are imposed and payable on such Fees (other than those calculated based on The Fun
Singles' net
income) to The Fun Singles. If you are outside of the United States, you may be required to
self-assess certain indirect Taxes on our Fees (or certain portions of our Fees) under the
applicable reverse charge procedure on your indirect tax returns. To the extent you are
required to
self-assess, The Fun Singles will use reasonable efforts to note that on your invoices.
In addition, due to IRS regulations, if The Fun Singles processes transactions and issues
you
payouts (A) for more than twenty thousand dollars ($20,000) in gross sales; and (B) for more
than
two hundred (200) transaction orders, in each case during a given calendar year and in the
aggregate
across all of your accounts, The Fun Singles is required to report to the IRS (i) the gross
amount
of transactions for which you have been paid in that calendar year and in each month of that
calendar year; (ii) your name; (iii) your address; and (iv) your Tax Identification Number
("Your
Tax Information"). As part of these IRS regulations, The Fun Singles is required to either
(A)
collect Your Tax Information; or (B) establish that you are a foreign person not subject to
US
taxes, before your accounts pass the two hundred (200) order transaction threshold in the
aggregate.
Once your accounts cross the two hundred (200) order transaction threshold, you agree that
you will
not receive any further payments from The Fun Singles until either (A) or (B) above are
satisfied.
To learn more about these IRS regulations and why we are required to do this, see form
1099-K.
The Fun Singles reserves the right to withhold the payment of any amounts owed to you
hereunder and
dispose of them as required by applicable local, state, provincial, national or other law,
rule,
regulation, judgment or order, in each case as determined by The Fun Singles.
If your account has had no activity for a period of time set forth in applicable unclaimed
property
(e.g., escheatment) laws and we hold funds related to your account, then we will notify you
as
required by applicable laws. If you do not claim your unclaimed funds within the timeframe
notified
to you, then we will escheat them to the applicable governmental authority in accordance
with
applicable laws.
