MODIFICATION DATE: September 28, 2021
The Timely Ticketing Terms of Service are intended to highlight some of the important things about using our event ticketing platform and services. These specific Ticketing Terms of Service are part of the Timely Terms of Service (the “TOS”), which are hereby incorporated therein. If you are using the Timely Event Ticketing Software platform described below, the terms corresponding to this product apply to your use.
PLEASE READ THROUGH THESE TERMS CAREFULLY. This document (these “Terms of Service” or “Terms”) sets forth terms and conditions under which Timely Network Inc. (“Timely”) provides you (“Client”, “you”, “your”) a license to access and use Timely’s Event Ticketing Software (the “Ticketing Platform”) and associated training and support services (collectively, “Services”), for the sale of tickets to events you created and/or promote (“Events”).
By executing a Purchase Order (as defined below) or by accessing the Services, you agree to comply with these Terms, including the policies and guidelines linked to these Terms. If you do not understand or agree with these Terms, please do not use the Services.
Timely may amend these Terms at any time in its sole discretion. Any changes we may make to these Terms of Service in the future will be posted on our website and, where appropriate, notified to you by sending an e-mail to the primary email address associated with your account.
2. Purchase Order
These Terms are incorporated by reference into each purchase order, partnership form, service order, quote, service questionnaire or other similar document (each “Purchase Order”), pursuant to which you receive the right to access and use the Services to sell tickets to your Events. These Terms and the Purchase Order together comprise a binding written agreement between you and Timely, effective as of the date of mutual acceptance of the Purchase Order by you and Timely (the “Agreement”). In the event of any conflict between the provisions contained in a Purchase Order and these Terms, the provisions in the Purchase Order shall prevail.
3. Services and Responsibilities
Timely ensures the Services are provided in accordance with the Purchase Order and otherwise in accordance with this Agreement so as to conform in all material respects with related product documentation provided to you by Timely. Features include access to the Ticketing Platform dashboard to view and manage Events.
3.1 Confirmations
Upon an order being placed by a Consumer and confirmed through the Ticketing Platform, Timely generates a confirmation message and issues a unique confirmation number for such Consumer’s order. You agree to unconditionally accept, honor and fulfill all ticketing and registration commitments that have been confirmed by Timely through the Ticketing Platform. You agree that it is your responsibility to verify a Consumer’s confirmation number and/or any event restrictions prior to the applicable event.
3.2 Service Fees
Timely will collect a subscription fee and/or a per-ticket fee (the “Service Fee”) for each ticket sold using the Services, as specified in your Purchase Order. For the sake of clarity, Timely will collect Service Fees for all tickets processed through the Services, which may also include where the ticket price is listed as $0 (zero) to ticket purchasers or where the tickets are printed through the Services for resale. The Service Fees collected for each Service provided by Timely will be as specified in your Purchase Order. You agree to pay the Service Fees and other charges.
You will collect all ticket and registration sales proceeds solicited via the Ticketing Platform (including Timely Service Fees), using third party services (such as PayPal, Block and Square). When using a third party service to collect payments, you are bound by the applicable terms of service governing such service. Timely accepts no (and disclaims all) obligation or liability with respect to such collection or the performance or nonperformance of such third party service.
Invoices for Timely Service Fees are sent to you monthly for Service Fees incurred in the previous month, provided that our failure to send a timely invoice will not excuse payment obligations. You agree to pay Timely all amounts specified on the Invoices, as applicable, in accordance with the payment option selected, including but not limited to, credit card on file. Unless otherwise specified on your Invoice, for each ticket sold, it will apply a credit card charge for credit card processing you have your own agreement.
Unless otherwise specified on your Purchase Order or agreed to in writing by Timely, the fees charged to ticket purchasers will be the Service Fees (in addition to the ticket face value) plus the credit card charge.
3.3 Refunds
Unless otherwise specified on your Purchase Order, you will have the ability, through the Services (or by request to Timely), to issue refunds both on a per-ticket purchaser basis and to all ticket purchasers for an Event (e.g., where an Event is canceled).
Refunds you issue through the Services may include, at your discretion, a refund of any Service Fees paid by ticket purchasers, and Timely will have the right to charge you such refunded Service Fees as compensation for work performed on all tickets sold and refunded. For the sake of clarity, Timely will have the right to charge you the per-ticket Service Fees as compensation for work performed on any tickets sold and refunded in accordance with these Terms.
