TicketLeap is in the business of providing reservations, tickets, memberships, certificates, admissions, and/or confirmations that allow the ticket holder or purchaser (each, a "Patron") attendance at, access to, or participation in, events (including streamed events), venues and other activities (each, an "Event"). You, as an Event organiser, are authorised to provide access to such Events. The parties, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
BY CLICKING THE "CREATE AN ACCOUNT" BUTTON, YOU REPRESENT THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS AGREEMENT, THE TERMS OF SERVICE ("TOS"), AND THE PRIVACY POLICY, EACH HEREBY INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE, AND EXPRESSLY AGREE TO, AND CONSENT TO BE BOUND BY, ALL OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS CONTAINED THEREIN. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL HAVE THE SAME LEGAL EFFECT AND FORCE AS A WRITTEN AND SIGNED DOCUMENT. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ALL OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, WE WILL PROMPTLY CANCEL THIS TRANSACTION AND YOU WILL BE UNABLE TO ACCESS THE TICKETLEAP.AU WEBSITE (THE "SITE") AND THE SERVICES THAT IT OFFERS. WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO DECLINE YOUR REQUEST FOR SERVICES FOR ANY REASON AND WITHOUT NOTICE.
TicketLeap shall provide the following services ("Services") under this Agreement: (i) display and list Your Event on TicketLeap's Site, located at the following world wide web address: http://www.ticketleap.au, including where applicable, streaming Your Event; (ii) accept and process on-line orders for tickets to Your Event and, as described in Section 2.1 below, process all credit card and other payments to said Event on Your behalf through the TicketLeap payment processing gateway (the "Gateway"). For more information, please see http://www.ticketleap.au; and (iii) provide an accounting to You of Our fees and charges for each ticket sold by Us.
When using the Services: EVAs are required to use our Gateway for the collection of event registration fees. For tickets sold using the Services, payments will be made to You by TicketLeap, as described more fully below.
TicketLeap charges a per-ticket fee for Our Services, and, if applicable, an additional refund processing fee for ticket sales and refunds, respectively, processed by Us through the Gateway, as more fully described in Section 2.2 below (collectively, "Fees"). We will deduct all applicable Fees from Your booking revenue as stated in this Agreement and in Our pricing policy, which can be found at https://www.ticketleap.au/info/pricing and is incorporated by reference herein, and which may change periodically (thus, You should check this link periodically to familiarise Yourself with our current Fee schedule). All Fees and any other monies contemplated by this Agreement are payable in Australian Dollars, or in any foreign currency accepted by TicketLeap for Events in another country or jurisdiction, as shown on our Site.
(A) GATEWAY; PAYMENT PROCESS.
When You use the Gateway for the collection of event registration fees, payment processing occurs directly by TicketLeap. Under the Gateway, (i) TicketLeap will collect all event registration fees on behalf of You from the Patron and deduct any applicable Fees from the event registration fees passed along to You, the process of which is more fully described at https://www.ticketleap.com.au/info/pricing; (ii) TicketLeap will make all payments to You (event registration fees minus applicable Fees due to TicketLeap, including any prior balance due to TicketLeap for any reason) utilising the ACH Direct Deposit function, by Direct Deposit into the account you authorise. You represent, warrant and covenant that the checking account information provided to Us is accurate and You will update this information as necessary to maintain its accuracy; and (iii) TicketLeap will use commercially reasonable efforts to submit payment for the balance due to You within five (5) business days after the end date for the Event to which the registration fees correspond, provided that TicketLeap reserves the right to withhold funds at any time as TicketLeap in its sole discretion determines to be necessary for the processing and settlement of all refunds, returns, disputed charges, customer complaints, allegations of fraud, chargebacks, expected chargebacks and other discrepancies.
(B) REFUNDS.
It is Your responsibility to communicate Your refund policy to Patrons either through the event description or waivers. In the event of cancelled or postponed Events, Your refund policy is superseded by TicketLeap's refund policy as described in Subsection (B)(ii) below. EVA shall ensure that its refund policy is consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the payment and refund processes included in the Services, and all applicable legal, regulatory and other governmental requirements. All communications or disputes regarding refunds are between the EVA and the Patron, and TicketLeap will not be liable for any decision to issue or not issue refunds.
(i) Individual Refunds. If a Patron desires to request a refund, the Patron must request the refund from the EVA. If the EVA desires to fulfil the request, the EVA can utilise the Services or contact TicketLeap to process the refund. TicketLeap will use commercially reasonable efforts to process refunds issued and requested to be issued by the EVA in a timely manner after the EVA authorises the issuance of the refunds. TicketLeap has no responsibility to provide individual refunds which have not been authorised by the EVA in accordance with this provision. In addition, TicketLeap will NOT issue any refund to a Patron unless and until sufficient funds for the refund have been received from the EVA.
(ii) Cancelled or Rescheduled Events. No payments shall be made to an EVA from TicketLeap with respect to any Event that is cancelled (or for which the EVA otherwise authorises a refund). If an Event is cancelled, a refund shall be issued to Patrons. An EVA will be sent an invoice for all Fees due to TicketLeap for such Event. Upon payment of all such Fees, TicketLeap will issue a full refund to Patrons. If an EVA fails to submit payment to TicketLeap for its Fees in a timely manner, TicketLeap will process refunds for the cancelled Event less all applicable Fees and the EVA shall thereafter be required to refund the Fees directly to Patrons and TicketLeap shall have no further liability or obligation. If an event is rescheduled, TicketLeap will use its sole discretion to determine whether it is considered a cancellation and therefore subject to the refund policy described in this section.
(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, You acknowledge and agree that, to protect its reputation and the integrity of the Site, TicketLeap shall have the right (but not the obligation) to force or provide a refund to Patrons of any or all amounts paid for tickets at any time for any reason or no reason, including without limitation if TicketLeap receives complaints from a substantial number (as determined by TicketLeap in its sole discretion) of Patrons with respect to an EVA or the applicable Event, or TicketLeap determines in its sole discretion that the EVA has engaged in any fraudulent activity or made any misrepresentations. TicketLeap shall have no liability whatsoever to an EVA in connection with or arising from any such decision to force or provide refunds.
(C) CREDIT CARD CHARGEBACKS.
Any credit card chargebacks initiated by a Patron for any reason with respect to an Event shall be charged back to the EVA. TicketLeap in its sole discretion shall either (i) deduct these costs from such EVA's outstanding balance, whether for that particular Event or for any other Event that such EVA lists through the Services; (ii) send an invoice to such EVA for such costs if no balance exists; or (iii) charge the chargebacks to Your designated bank account(s). If payment for such invoice is not received by TicketLeap within thirty (30) days after the invoice date, TicketLeap reserves the right, at TicketLeap's sole discretion, to terminate such EVA's registration for the Services and to cancel all other Events listed by such EVA as provided herein. TicketLeap shall have no liability whatsoever for any damages, claims or losses incurred by an EVA in connection with any such termination or cancellation. You are responsible for any chargebacks that TicketLeap receives from its merchant bank in connection with Your Events. All communications and disputes regarding chargebacks are between the EVA and Patron, and TicketLeap will not be responsible or liable in any way for chargebacks issued in the course of the Services. For purposes of this Agreement, “chargebacks” shall mean the amounts that the merchant bank is charged back by a cardholder or a card issuer under the card organisation’s rules (e.g. cardholder dispute, fraud, declined transaction, returned tickets for cancelled events, etc.). TicketLeap will charge You a AUD$25.00 fee per lost Chargeback to cover associated card fees.
(D) CONFIRMATION.
Upon receipt of a credit card authorisation from each individual ticket purchaser, TicketLeap generates a confirmation message and issues a unique confirmation number. You agree to unconditionally accept, honour, and fulfil all ticketing commitments that have been confirmed by TicketLeap through the Services (and not returned or voided), and it is your responsibility to verify the applicable Patron's membership status, confirmation number and/or any Event restrictions prior to the subject Event. If We learn that You are not honouring Our ticketing commitments, we reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to terminate Your account without liability or further obligation.
In the event that You do not pay to TicketLeap upon request any amount required to paid by You under this Agreement, TicketLeap shall be entitled to recover from You, in addition to any amounts otherwise owing, its reasonable costs of collection, including, without limitation, collection agency fees, reasonable legal fees, and court costs
You are responsible for (and will indemnify and hold harmless TicketLeap against) all taxes or other governmental charges associated with Your Event or Your sale of tickets through the Services (excepting taxes based on TicketLeap's net income). It is Your responsibility to know if any applicable laws apply to You and to adjust the ticket price accordingly to account for Your payment of these taxes.
If TicketLeap determines that is required to collect or pay any such taxes or other charges, it may deduct such amounts from any balance payable to You under this Agreement or else invoice You for such taxes or other charges. TicketLeap reserves the right to withhold the payment of any amounts owed to You hereunder if TicketLeap suspects or determines that such amounts have been generated in (i) a fraudulent manner, (ii) violation of this Agreement or the TOS, or (iii) violation of any applicable laws or regulations (foreign or domestic). Such withholding may be temporary or permanent (as determined by TicketLeap).
When submitting Your Event to TicketLeap to be listed or streamed on Our Site, it is Your responsibility to provide to Us any event restrictions associated with said Event. Any Event that requires a restriction for admission, including, but not limited to, age, school or organisational affiliation, hardware or software requirements, or other characteristics or requirements, must be clearly stated by You upon submission to Us. It is Your responsibility to ensure that said restriction is lawful and does not violate any federal, state, or local laws, or any applicable foreign laws, prior to submitting the Event to Us. It is also Your responsibility to verify that all customers can be admitted or view to Your Event, as applicable.
You understand and agree that the Site may, at times, be inaccessible or inoperable for any reason, including, but not limited to: (i) equipment or communications malfunctions; (ii) periodic maintenance, repairs, or administrative reviews which We may undertake from time-to-time; or (iii) causes beyond Our reasonable control or which are not reasonably foreseeable by Us, such acts of government or the malicious or criminal acts of third parties

In addition to Your other indemnification obligations in this Agreement, You hereby agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless TicketLeap and its affiliates from and against any claims, actions, demands, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) incurred by the indemnitees as a result of or in connection with any such conduct or activity.
You represent and warrant the following: (i) You are a producer, promoter, presenter, or manager of the Event; (ii) You have the authority and right to offer, sell, and honour the tickets to the Event sold on Our Site; (iii) the Event itself and any material or content provided by You to Us for use on Our Site is/are not (and does not contain, promote, or link to material or content that is) pornographic, defamatory, grossly offensive, harassing, malicious, illegal, or otherwise objectionable, and do not infringe or violate (or contain, promote or link to material or content that infringes or violates) the rights of any person or entity, including, but not limited to, copyright, trade mark, trade secret, proprietary, intellectual property, and rights of privacy and/or publicity, whether by statute or common law; and (iv) the Event and the sale of tickets to the Event do not constitute a violation of any federal, state, and/or local law.
