funds pertaining to such Event(s), but TicketSocket will not be a party to
any Ticketing Transaction;
Provide information required to account to User for TicketSocket
fees and charges for each Ticketing Transaction; and
Provide any other deliverables, if any, as may be described on

The TicketSocket Service Level Agreement (the “SLA”) provided
at TicketSocket
SLA is hereby incorporated into this Agreement as
though fully set forth herein. TicketSocket reserves the right to modify the
SLA upon notice to User.
Fees and Payment.
User shall pay the fees and charges as specified in
the Registration Form (the “Fees”) for the license grant of
Section 2 and for TicketSocket’s Services specified in Section 4. User shall
pay all Fees in U.S. dollars.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, TicketSocket will integrate
the System with User’s preferred payment processor and User’s website. User
will be the merchant of record for all Patron transactions. User shall
authorize payment of all Fees either directly from the payment processor, or
by ACH from User’s bank account, credit card or other payment method as may
be designated on the Registration Form (“Payment Method”).
If and to the extent the Payment Method does not allow for direct
payment of Fees to TicketSocket, TicketSocket will bill User semi-monthly,
and provide an itemized invoice detailing all Fees charged. User shall pay
each undisputed invoice submitted by TicketSocket within thirty (30) days of
the date of the invoice.
Fees do not include any applicable federal, state or local taxes
and any such taxes or governmental charges, including sales or use taxes
(but exclusive of income or corporate franchise taxes) (“Taxes”). It is
User’s responsibility to know if any Applicable Laws apply to User’s sales
and to adjust the Ticketing Transaction prices accordingly to account for
Taxes which may be due. All such Taxes shall be paid by User. User is solely
responsible for the submission and payment of any applicable Taxes
pertaining to the Ticketing Transactions.
User represents and warrants that it is authorized and responsible
for paying TicketSocket all Fees and any applicable Taxes via the Payment
Method, and hereby expressly authorizes TicketSocket to charge User’s
Payment Method for all invoiced amounts. User represents and warrants that
all User contact information (including User’s email address, mailing
address, and phone number), and Payment Method information provided to
TicketSocket for its file are accurate and current. If TicketSocket is
unable to charge the Payment Method on file or otherwise collect Fee
payments from User, within ten (10) calendar days after providing notice to
User of such inability to collect payment, TicketSocket reserves all its
rights, and may pursue any means of relief available to TicketSocket
including immediately suspending User’s access to the System and/or
terminating this Agreement for cause pursuant to Section 6.2, below.
If User disputes any invoiced Fees, User shall so notify
TicketSocket in a writing identifying the reason and details of such dispute
within thirty (30) calendar days after the date of the invoice, and the
Parties shall negotiate in good faith to determine if any payment adjustment
is appropriate. Any undisputed amount remaining unpaid for more than thirty
(30) calendar days from the invoice date shall accrue interest at the rate
of the lower of percent per month or the highest rate permitted by
law.
In its capacity as a backend service provider, TicketSocket is not
responsible for the nature or quality of any Event, nor is TicketSocket
responsible for any costs associated with the cancellation, rescheduling or
modification of any Event. It is strictly User’s responsibility to issue any
and all refunds, chargebacks or other credits to Patrons, vendors or the
venue for User’s Event. User acknowledges and agrees that it is solely
responsible for all communications with Patrons and information provided
relating any User Event and all Ticketing Transactions, including in
relation to prices and cancellation policies, and that User shall be solely
responsible for the completeness and accuracy of all such communications and
information. Except as expressly set forth herein, User acknowledges and
agrees that as between TicketSocket and User, User shall bear all costs and
liabilities for User’s Event(s).
Term and Termination.
Term. This Agreement shall continue in
force for an initial term commencing on the Effective Date and terminating
as set forth on the Registration Form (“Initial Term”), and upon
the expiration of this Initial Term, this Agreement shall be automatically
renewed for successive one (1) year terms (each a “Renewal Term”), unless
terminated by either Party upon at least thirty (30) days’ written notice
prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term. The Initial
Term plus all Renewal Terms shall collectively be referred to as the “Term”
of this Agreement.
Termination for Cause. Either Party will have the
right to terminate this Agreement for cause at any time if the other Party
is in material breach which such Party fails to cure within fourteen (14)
days after receiving non-breaching Party’s notice of the breach and
intention to terminate. User’s failure to pay any Fees when due shall be a
material breach of this Agreement. Any such termination pursuant to this
Section 6.2 will become effective automatically upon expiration of the
cure period identified in any notice of termination in the absence of a
cure.
Effect of Termination. All rights in the
System and Software granted to User hereunder shall cease upon any
termination effective date (as opposed to notice date) or expiration of this
Agreement, and all outstanding Fees shall be due and payable within thirty
(30) after such termination. Upon such termination effective date or
expiration, User shall immediately cease any use of the System. Within
thirty (30) days after any such termination effective date, each Recipient
shall return or destroy all copies of the Discloser’s Confidential
Information in Recipient’s possession or control; and certify to the
Discloser in writing that it no longer retains any copies of such
Confidential Information. Patron data which was not previously transmitted
to User shall be delivered to User in then-standard electronic format on
payment of all outstanding amounts due to TicketSocket, subject at all times
to Section 12.8. If User terminates this Agreement after
User has submitted Event(s) to the System, such User’s Event(s) shall be
canceled on the System.
Confidentiality.
Confidential Information. Each Recipient
understands and acknowledges that the Confidential Information of the
Discloser has been developed or obtained by such Discloser by the investment
of significant time, effort and expense, and that the Confidential
Information is a valuable, special and unique asset of the Discloser that
provides the Discloser with a significant competitive advantage and needs to
be protected from improper disclosure. In consideration for the receipt by
Recipient of any Confidential Information, Recipient agrees as
follows:
No Disclosure. The Recipient will hold the Confidential
Information in confidence and will not disclose the Confidential Information
to any person or entity without the prior written consent of Discloser. The
Recipient shall protect the Confidential Information of the Discloser with
at least the same degree of care as Recipient uses to protect its own
Confidential Information of a similar nature, but in no case with less than
a reasonable standard of care.
No Copying/Modifying. Recipient will not copy or modify any
Confidential Information without the prior written consent of
Discloser.
Unauthorized Use. Recipient shall promptly advise Discloser
if Recipient becomes aware of any unauthorized disclosure or use of the
Discloser’s Confidential Information.
Employees and Consultants. Recipient shall not disclose any
Confidential Information to any employees or consultants of Recipient,
except those employees or consultants that are required to have access to
the Confidential Information in order to perform their job duties in
connection with the limited purposes of this Agreement. Each permitted
employee or consultant to whom Confidential Information is disclosed shall
sign a non-disclosure agreement with non-disclosure restrictions at least as
stringent as those of this Agreement at the request of Discloser.
Authorized Disclosure. A disclosure by
Recipient of any of Discloser’s Confidential Information (1) in response to
a valid order by a court or other governmental body; (2) as otherwise
required by law; or (3) necessary to establish the rights of either Party
under this Agreement shall not be considered to be a breach of this
Agreement by the Recipient; provided, however, that Recipient (where
permitted under Applicable Laws) provides prompt prior written notice
thereof to the Discloser to enable Discloser to seek a protective order or
otherwise prevent the disclosure (where permitted under Applicable Laws).
Further, the Recipient shall disclose only the minimum amount of the
Confidential Information that it is legally required to furnish and, where
appropriate, will exercise its best efforts to obtain written assurances
that confidential treatment will be accorded to such Confidential
Information.
Equitable Relief. In the case of a breach
of the confidentiality provisions of this section, the Parties hereby agree
that their respective remedies at law are inadequate, and consent to
equitable enforcement of their obligations under said sections, by a court
of appropriate equity jurisdiction hereunder.
Proprietary Rights.
The System, Software and all Documentation expressly remain the
Intellectual Property of TicketSocket, and TicketSocket retains all right,
title and interest in and to the same and all copies thereof. Any and all
TicketSocket Marks used in connection with the licenses granted hereunder
are and remain the exclusive property of TicketSocket. TicketSocket
expressly reserves all rights in the System, Software, Documentation and
TicketSocket Marks or otherwise, not specifically granted in this
Agreement.
During the Term, TicketSocket may use User’s Marks and any quotes
attributable to User’s personnel in TicketSocket’s promotional materials
regarding the System subject, in each instance, to User’s approval, not to
be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The aforementioned limited, revocable
license shall terminate upon expiration of this Agreement or termination
effective date.

GDPR or UK GDPR. Nothing in this Section 12.1 shall limit the obligations of
the User under Section 12.3, and the indemnification provisions of Section
11.1 are made expressly applicable to this Section 12.1. If and to the
extent European Data Subjects are to be offered services by User, the
provisions of the TicketSocket EU/UK GDPR Addendum (“GDPR Addendum”)

GDPR apply to this Agreement and are incorporated
herein in full. TicketSocket reserves the right to amend the GDPR Addendum
upon reasonable notice to User.
The Parties acknowledge that under the CCPA (if and to the extent
applicable), User is a Business with respect to Patron Personal Data it
collects in using the System under this Agreement, and that TicketSocket is
a Service Provider. The provisions of the TicketSocket CCPA Addendum (“CCPA
Addendum”) at TicketSocket
CCPA apply to this Agreement, and are incorporated
herein in full. TicketSocket reserves the right to amend the CCPA Addendum
upon reasonable notice to User.
User and TicketSocket acknowledge and agree that each Party is
responsible for its compliance with applicable Data Protection Laws.
User represents and warrants that User is in compliance with the
relevant provisions of applicable Data Protection Laws (including those
relating to the User’s use of Patron Personal Data in connection with the
Services), including but not limited to the laws applicable due to
jurisdiction and/or location of User, Processor and/or the Patron: i)
requiring that User as Controller provide all required notices, and obtain
all required opt-in consents from each individual with respect to such
individual’s Personal Data (unless the forgoing notices and consent
obligations are a contracted duty or software function of TicketSocket), and
ii) pertaining to any processing instructions that User gives to
TicketSocket.
User represents and warrants that: i) its agreements with Patrons
(including but not limited to User’s Privacy Notice, Terms of Service and
Ticketing Transactions and any cancellation policies (collectively the
“ToS”) are compliant with all Applicable Laws (including but not limited to
the Data Protection Laws and consumer protection laws), and ii) User’s
Privacy Notice (posted on User’s website) accurately reflects User’s usage
of Patron Personal Data, provides all required notices under the Data
Protection Laws, and includes provisions stating that Patron Personal Data
may be aggregated, anonymized and used by User and TicketSocket for business
purposes, as well as for the purposes described in Section 12.4 and
12.5.
User also warrants and represents that its contracts for services
which are facilitated by the use of the System and/or Software do not
include TicketSocket as a party, and that TicketSocket shall have no
obligations or liabilities in relation to such contracts or User’s access to
or use of data generated through use of the System by User or its
Patrons.
User is and shall remain solely responsible for ensuring that any

compliance of such documents with all Applicable Laws, including without
limitation the Data Protection Laws, for compliance with consumer protection

language(s), and otherwise as may be required pursuant to any Applicable

below purposes, User agrees that TicketSocket may store and/or Process
Patron Personal Data through the System under any Ticketing Transaction in
order to provide, maintain, protect, improve or redevelop the System, and/or
to protect TicketSocket, User, and Patrons. TicketSocket shall Process,
store and protect such Patron Personal Data in compliance with
TicketSocket’s published security and privacy policies, and Applicable Laws
(including but not limited to Data Protection Laws). TicketSocket will not
use any Patron Personal Data to directly or indirectly solicit or contact
any Patron (either individually or in the aggregate) unless such contact is
necessary to resolve issues or disputes regarding Ticketing Transactions on
behalf of the User, or unless otherwise expressly authorized by User or the
relevant Patron. TicketSocket will not sell, disclose, modify, transfer or
rent any Patron Personal Data to any third party except as directed by
User.
“De-Identified Data” shall mean any Patron Personal Data from

nonexclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable and transferable license to copy,
modify, distribute, sell, make available and otherwise use De-Identified

improvements of the System. Upon written notice, User may require
TicketSocket to: (i) verify that the data are de-identified (in compliance
with CCPA and GDPR, if applicable) prior to the foregoing license becoming

process does not allow Patrons to be re-identified.
TicketSocket will use industry standard systems and procedures to
ensure the security and privacy of Patron data; protect against anticipated
threats or hazards to the security or integrity of Patron Data in the
System; and to protect against unauthorized access to or use of Patron
Personal Data. TicketSocket does not store any credit card or similar
information within the System.
TicketSocket will provide User with an account ID and password
that allows User to add, modify, or update Event and other User data on the
System. User agrees to be solely responsible for the confidentiality of
User’s ID and password. To the extent of User’s knowledge, User agrees to
notify TicketSocket immediately of any unauthorized use of User’s password,
ID, or any other breach of security discovered by User.
Where the Business is subject to the CCPA, the Parties hereby
agree to adhere to the additional terms of the CCPA Addendum.
Ticketing Confirmation. User agrees to accept, honor, and
fulfill all ticketing commitments and other Ticketing Transactions that have

General.
Governing Law; Exclusive Jurisdiction.
This Agreement, and all the rights and duties of the Parties arising from or
relating in any way to the subject matter of this Agreement or the
transaction(s) contemplated by it, shall be governed by, construed and
enforced in accordance with the law of the State of California in the United
States (excluding any conflict of laws provisions of the State of California
that would refer to and apply the substantive laws of another jurisdiction).
To the degree that any litigation should arise not covered by the AAA
arbitration contemplated in the subsequent paragraph, any suit or proceeding
relating to this Agreement shall be brought in the state or federal courts
of California. Each of the Parties consents to the exclusive personal
jurisdiction and venue of the courts located in Los Angeles, California and
waives any right to object on the basis of inconvenient forum.
Dispute Resolution. The Parties agree to
attempt in good faith to resolve any controversy, claim, or dispute of any
nature whatever arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement, or the
breach, termination, enforceability, or validity of this Agreement (a
“Dispute”) promptly by negotiation between executives or managers who have
authority to settle the Dispute. If the foregoing informal resolution does
not resolve the Dispute within thirty (30) days, the Parties hereto agree to
submit the dispute to binding arbitration in accordance with the Commercial
Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) then in
effect. Any such arbitration shall proceed in accordance with the laws of
the State of California, but the venue of any such arbitration shall be held
in New York City, New York, in the English language. Within ten (10)
calendar days after the arbitration demand is served upon a Party, the
Parties must jointly select an arbitrator with at least ten (10) years’
experience in that capacity, which must include substantial experience with
disputes involving software and related services. If the Parties do not
agree on an arbitrator within ten (10) calendar days, a Party may petition
the AAA in order to appoint an arbitrator. The decision of the arbitrator
shall be final and binding and no Party shall have rights of appeal. Each
Party shall bear its own costs and fees in connection with the arbitration,
however, the arbitrator shall have the power to order one Party to
contribute to the reasonable costs and expenses of the other Party, or to
pay all or any portion of the costs of the arbitration. This provision shall
not limit either Party’s right to petition for interim judicial relief, such
as an injunction, specific performance or similar relief.
Independent Contractors. The Parties and
their respective personnel are and shall be independent contractors and
neither Party by virtue of this Agreement shall have any right, power or
authority to act or create any obligation, express or implied, on behalf of
the other Party.
Notices. All notices, requests, consents,
approvals, or authorizations in connection with this Agreement must be given
in writing, and will be deemed given as of (i) the day they are delivered on
paper by an internationally recognized express delivery service, (ii) the
day they are delivered by fax transmission or e-mail, if the Parties
regularly communicate with one another by such means and the sending Party
receives reasonable assurances that the communication has been received by
the other Party. Any notice given in connection with this Agreement shall be
delivered to the addresses set forth in the preamble to this Agreement (for
TicketSocket) or in the Registration Form (for the User), or to
any other address as such Party may designate in writing. Either Party may
change the address above by giving notice to the other Party pursuant to
this Section.
Force Majeure. Each Party shall be excused
from performing any of its obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, as a
result of delays caused by the other Party or a third party or by an act of
God, war, riot, civil commotion, explosion, fire, failure of communications
infrastructure, government action, court order, epidemic or other
circumstance beyond its reasonable control. If any of the above-enumerated
circumstances prevent, hinder or delay performance of either Party’s
obligations hereunder for more than thirty (30) calendar days following
written notice of the circumstance, the Party not prevented from performing
shall have the right to terminate this Agreement without liability or
penalty as of the date specified by such Party in a written notice of
termination to the other Party.
Binding Nature. Subject to all other
provisions herein contained, this Agreement shall be binding on the Parties
and their successors and permitted assigns.
Assignment. User may not assign or otherwise
transfer this Agreement, or any part hereof, nor delegate any of its duties
hereunder, whether by operation of law or otherwise, to any third party or
affiliate without the prior written consent of TicketSocket.
Severability. If any provision of this
Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or
unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not invalidate or
render unenforceable any other part of this Agreement, but the Agreement
shall be construed as not containing the particular provision or provisions
held to be invalid or unenforceable.
Waiver. No delay or omission by either
Party hereto to exercise any right occurring upon any noncompliance or
default by the other Party with respect to any of the terms of this
Agreement shall impair any such right or power or be construed to be a
waiver thereof. A waiver by either of the Parties hereto of any of the
covenants, conditions or agreements to be performed by the other shall not
be construed to be a waiver of any succeeding breach thereof or of any
covenant, condition or agreement herein contained.
No Construction Against Drafter. The
Parties agree that any principle of construction or rule of law that
provides that an agreement shall be construed against the drafter of the
agreement in the event of any inconsistency or ambiguity in such agreement
shall not apply to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
Entire Agreement; Modification. This
Agreement sets forth the entire, final and exclusive agreement between the
Parties as to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and
contemporaneous agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions,
whether oral or written, between the Parties. This Agreement may be modified
only pursuant to a writing executed by authorized representatives of the
Parties or other method made pursuant to this Agreement (including any
modification that may be evidenced though an electronic acceptance process).
The Parties expressly disclaim the right to claim the enforceability or
effectiveness of: (a) any oral modifications to this Agreement; and (b) any
other amendments that are based on course of dealing, waiver, reliance,
estoppel or other similar legal theory. The Parties expressly disclaim the
right to enforce any rule of law that is contrary to the terms of this
Section.
No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in
this Agreement shall create any rights in any third party beneficiaries, and
neither Party has any obligation to any third party by virtue of this
Agreement.
Non-Solicitation. During the Term and for
a period of twenty four (24) months after any termination or expiration of
this Agreement, or for any shorter period which may be mandated by
Applicable Law, User shall not directly or indirectly, engage in any
business activity (whether as an employee, proprietor, officer, director,
agent, trustee, or partner) that knowingly: (a) interferes with a third
party’s existing or planned business with TicketSocket, or (b) interferes
with, disrupts or attempts to disrupt any employment or contractual
relationship between TicketSocket and a third party to the extent that User
is aware of such relationship with TicketSocket. The Parties acknowledge
that any breach of these provisions will cause immediate, irreparable and
continuing damage to TicketSocket for which there is no adequate remedy at
law. In the event of any breach or violation or threatened breach or
violation of this non-solicitation provision, TicketSocket shall be entitled
to temporary, preliminary and/or permanent injunctive relief and such other
legal and equitable remedies as may be provided by applicable law, without
the necessity of posting any bond or other security.
Non-Competition. Without prejudice to
TicketSocket’s Intellectual Property rights that are preserved in full for
the duration of such rights, for a period of sixty (60) months after any
termination or expiration of this Agreement, User shall not make any attempt
to duplicate or emulate the functionality of the System or any of its data,
programs, processes (including sequencing of such), services, tools,
technologies, systems, trademarks or other Intellectual Property in an
effort to compete directly or indirectly with TicketSocket or in an effort
to aid any third party in competing directly or indirectly with
TicketSocket.
Headings. The paragraph headings of this
Agreement are for convenience and shall be given no legal
significance.
Counterparts. This Agreement may be
executed through electronic means and/or in one (1) or more duplicate
originals, all of which together shall be deemed one and the same
instrument.
