    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.

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.

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 which personal identification characteristics have been removed (which means it cannot be defined as Personal Data under Data Protection Laws), that may then be combined with other data for non-personal trends analysis.

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.

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.

    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.

    15. For EEA/UK Residents


    A. Your Legal Rights


    If you are an EEA/UK resident, under the data protection laws that apply to you, you may contact us at privacy@ticketsocket.com to exercise your rights to:


    Request access to your Personal Data (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the Personal Data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.


    Request corrections of the Personal Data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of any new data you provide to us.


    Request erasure of your Personal Data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove Personal Data where there is no good reason for us to continue to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your Personal Data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your Personal Data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons of which we will notify you, if applicable, at the time of your request.


    Object to processing of your Personal Data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party), and you object to this processing as you feel it impacts your fundamental rights and freedoms. You may also object to our processing your Personal Data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may deny your objection if we can demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.


    Request restriction of processing of your Personal Data. You may request us to suspend the processing your Personal Data in the following scenarios:


    · If you want us to establish the data’s accuracy.


    · Where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it.


    · Where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.


    · You have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.


    Request the transfer of your Personal Data to you or to a third party. Upon request, we will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your Personal Data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information that you initially consented for us to use, or that we used in performing our obligations under a contract with you.


    Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your Personal Data. This withdrawal will not, however, affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.


    Make a complaint to a regulator. You have the right to make a complaint at any time to your local supervisory authority with regard to data protection issues. We would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach any supervisory authority, so please contact us in the first instance.


    B. Purposes / Legal Basis For Which We Will Use Your Personal Data


    For EEA/UK residents, data protection laws require us to explain to you our legal basis for using your Personal Data. Most commonly, we will use your Personal Data under the following legal bases:


    ● Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests;


    ● Where we need to perform our obligations under a contract we are about to enter into, or have entered into with you; and


    ● Where we need to comply with a legal obligation.


    Generally, we do not rely on consent as a legal basis for processing your Personal Data although we will get your consent before sending direct marketing communications to you via email if we are contacting you using details other than your corporate email address. You have the right to withdraw consent to marketing at any time by contacting us.
