Any new features added to the SellYourEvents.com website shall be subject to the Terms of Service. You understand and agree that the Service is provided AS-IS and that SellYourEvents.com assumes no responsibility for the timeliness, deletion, mis-delivery or failure to store any user communications or personalization settings.

Age Minimum and legal eligibility for use
YOU MUST BE AT LEAST 16 YEARS OF AGE TO REGISTER FOR AN ACCOUNT. If you are under the age of 18, you hereby represent that you are using the Service with the consent of your parent or guardian (Guardian), and that said Guardian is at least 18 years old, is the legal Guardian of the person listed on the SellYourEvents.com account, and that said Guardian has expressly given permission to access the Service.

Further, whether this Service is used by Event Organizers to receive payment from Event Attendees, or whether the event is free, Event Organizers are only permitted to use this service to the extent that they are permitted to by law in their jurisdiction.


PROCESSING OF PAYMENTS

Where Event Organizers wish to charge Event Attendees for admittance to an event, all payments are made via the PayPal payments processing system. Both Event Organizers and Events Attendees will be subject to PayPal’s Terms of Use (see www.PayPal.com for latest version) with respect to any monetary collections. SellYourEvents.com is not affiliated with PayPal and neither is the agent or employee of the other, and neither is responsible in any way for the actions or performance (or lack thereof) of the other.


THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF EVENT ORGANISERS

Registration of an account and ongoing security obligations
Users must register for account by providing all the requested information when “signing-up” for an account. All information provided (such as name, email address, and location) must be accurate as-of hen it is provided, and account details must be modified as a user’s information changes.

Once you have registered an account, you must safeguard and keep private your account password. You shall report any unauthorized use of your password to SellYourEvents.com immediately upon discovery. You must also logout at the end of every usage session.

Creation and maintenance of an event webpage
All information posted by an Event Organizer of an event webpage must be accurate at the time that it is posted on the site, including during initial event creation and afterwards. If any event information changes, changes to your event details should be made to ensure that they remain accurate and current.

Photos posted on an event webpage
An Event Organizer may only post or use photos or images on the event webpage if the Event Organizer has the legal right to use the event or image. You must have the copyright to these images in order to post them. No photos or images containing identifying personal information should be posted. We reserve the right to remove or alter any image or photo that is inappropriate. As with all other information posted on your event webpage, images or photos must meet the standards for proper use described elsewhere in these Terms of Service.

Security of personal information
The site provides event organizers with the opportunity to post images or information in areas on the website (such as your main event message) that are available to the general public. Event organizers should be careful not to submit any contact information, financial information, or otherwise private information to these areas. Event attendees will be provided with your contact email once they have purchased a place or tickets, and may contact you using this information, so there is no need to post this information publicly. If you submit such information for public viewing, our privacy policy does not apply to that information, and we cannot prevent is from being used or misused by a member of the public. As such, we assume no liability, and event organizers assume all risks arising as a result of such information being displayed.

Sole responsibility for Refunds
Where an event requires payment, all payments all made via the PayPal system. Payments made by Event Attendees are received directly by Event Organizers. Therefore, all refunds of funds to Event Attendees for whatever reason are to be made directly by the Event Organizer to the Event Attendee. SELLYOUREVENTS.COM HAS NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR MAKING REFUNDS TO EVENT ATTENDEES IN ANY CASE, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY LIABILITY WHERE THE EVENT ORGANIZER FAILS TO DO SO. This applies whether the event is cancelled, or if the attendee cannot attend the event. All refund requests should be made directly to the Event Organizer, whose contact email used to register a PayPal account will be provided to Event Attendees along with their confirmation number when they make a payment for a ticket or registration for an event. Event Organizers should provide refunds where it is reasonable to do so, and may wish to provide refund information in their event information posted online.
