3. Services and Features.

i.   General.

The Services may permit you to order tickets to live events. Encore sells tickets as an agent of, and on behalf of, event providers or third parties in certain instances, which means that Encore does not set the ticket prices or determine seating locations. Therefore, tickets for popular events may sell out quickly. Occasionally, additional tickets may be available prior to the event. However, Encore does not control this inventory or its availability. In the rare event that Encore cannot fulfill your order, we will attempt to contact you within three business hours. When you click “Agree and pay securely” or “Pay securely” you authorize Encore to charge your designated payment method to purchase the ticket(s) through the Services. Tickets purchased through our Services are typically subject to a per-ticket service fee and a per order processing fee. Before purchasing tickets, carefully review your event and seat selection.

If accurate personal contact details are not provided at the time of booking (correct email, phone number and billing address), we reserve the right to cancel and refund the transaction.

ii.  Company Guarantee; Refunds.

Company guarantees (a) that the ticket you purchase through the Services will provide valid entry to an active performance of the production described on the ticket and (b) the ticket you receive from us will be the same as the one purchased through the Services; otherwise Company will provide you with a comparable or better ticket or provide a full refund (including any fees).

We try to ensure the accuracy of all of our prices, but in rare instances pricing errors may occur. If we discover an error in the price of your booking, we will contact you via email or phone or letter and will give you the option of either (i) re-processing your booking at the correct price or (ii) cancelling your booking with a full refund of any monies already paid.

Occasionally, live events are canceled or postponed. Should this occur, Company will attempt to contact you to inform you of refund or exchange procedures for that event. In the event a live event is canceled or postponed, Company will attempt to contact you to inform you of refund or exchange procedures. Company guarantees that if an event is canceled and not rescheduled, Company will facilitate a return of the full purchase price of your tickets in the form of a Voucher or Premium Voucher for the transaction amount, at the sole discretion of Company. A Voucher is a credit worth the same amount as the total amount charged in the original transaction. A Premium Voucher is a credit worth some amount greater than the total amount charged in the original transaction. If Company does not receive a written request for a refund (not including any applied fees) in lieu of a Voucher or Premium Voucher within ten (10) days from the issuance of the Voucher or Premium Voucher, then it will consider the offer of a Voucher or Premium Voucher in lieu of refund to be accepted by the Customer. Should a Voucher or Premium Voucher be used towards the purchase of a future event that itself is subsequently canceled, a replacement Voucher or Premium Voucher in the amount of the purchase price (not including booking or handling fees) will be issued and this will not be replaced by a Voucher or Premium Voucher relative to the value of that successive transaction. For exact instructions, or to request a refund for any canceled or postponed event, please email support@tixculture.com.

Event dates and times are subject to change. It is your responsibility to check for any possible changes in the date and time. You agree that neither Company nor Encore is responsible for changes in date or time of the event, and that refunds will not be issued due to event dates or times being changed. Neither Company nor Encore will issue exchanges or refunds for lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed tickets. Additionally, tickets not claimed within one week cannot be claimed.

 

iii. Risk and Title to Ticket.  When you order a ticket through the Services, you acknowledge that (a) Encore may not have possession of such ticket, (b) Encore may not have a contract to obtain such ticket at the offered price from an event provider or third thirty, and (c) Encore may not be able to supply such ticket for the offered price or range of prices.

Personal arrangements including travel and accommodation relating to the event are the ticket holder’s own risk and in no event shall Company, Encore, the E-Commerce Partner, the venue or the producer/promoter be liable for any expenditure beyond the ticket price and booking fee.

Company and Encore have no control over the event or venue. Tickets are sold subject to the rules and regulations of the event organizer/venue which are available from either the event organizer or the venue, on request. The event organizer/venue reserves the right to make alterations to the advertised arrangements or featured artists, to refuse admission and to request latecomers to await admission until a convenient break. The ticket holder has a right only to a seat of a value corresponding to that stated on the ticket. Each of Company, Encore and the venue management reserve the right to provide an alternative seat to that stated on the ticket.

iv. Payment Transaction.

Payment for all orders must be made by credit, debit card or PayPal, or any other acceptable payment method listed on the checkout page. You should be aware that online payment transactions are subject to validation checks by your card issuer and we are not responsible if your card issuer declines to authorize payment for any reason. Please note, it is possible that your card issuer may charge you an online handling fee or processing fee. Neither Company nor Encore is responsible for any such fee.

v.  Latecomers.

Customers who arrive late for a performance may not be admitted until a suitable break. Certain venues/productions may not admit latecomers at all. You must inquire with the venue for specific information on their latecomer policy. In the event that it is not possible to admit a latecomer for any reason, no refunds will be offered.

vi. Referral Codes, Credits, and Promotional Vouchers.

Company reserves the right to cancel any referral program at any time. Company may from time to time, in its sole discretion, issue customer service credits and/or vouchers, which Company reserves with right to revoke with or without notice.

If your registration(s) with or ability to access Company Properties is discontinued by Company due to your violation of any portion of these Terms or for otherwise inappropriate conduct, then you agree that you shall not attempt to re-register with or access Company Properties through the use of a different member name or otherwise, and you acknowledge that you will not be entitled to receive a refund for fees related to those Company Properties to which your access has been terminated. In the event that you violate the immediately preceding sentence, Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to immediately take any or all of the actions set forth herein without any notice or warning to you.

14.   International users. Company Properties can be accessed from countries around the world and may contain references to Services and Content that are not available in your country. These references do not imply that Company intends to announce such Services or Content in your country. Company Properties are controlled and offered by Encore from its facilities in the United Kingdom. Those who access or use Company Properties from other jurisdictions do so of their own volition and are responsible for compliance with local law.

15.   General Provisions.

i.   Electronic Communications.

The communications between you and Company use electronic means, whether you visit Company Properties or send Company e-mails, or whether Company posts notices on Company Properties or communicates with you via e-mail. For contractual purposes, you (a) consent to receive communications from Company in an electronic form; and (b) agree that all terms and conditions, agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that Company provides to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications would satisfy if they were to be in writing. The foregoing does not affect your statutory rights.

ii.  Release.

You hereby release Company Parties and their successors from claims, demands, any and all losses, damages, rights, and actions of any kind, including personal injuries, death, and property damage, that are either directly or indirectly related to or arising from your use of Company Properties, including, but not limited to, any interactions with or conduct of other users or Third-Party Services of any kind arising in connection with or as a result of these Terms or your use of Company Properties. If you are a California resident, you hereby waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which states, "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which, if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor."

iii. Assignment.

These Terms, and your rights and obligations hereunder, may not be assigned, subcontracted, delegated or otherwise transferred by you without Company’s prior written consent, and any attempted assignment, subcontract, delegation, or transfer in violation of the foregoing will be null and void.

iv. Force Majeure.

Company and Encore shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform resulting from causes outside its reasonable control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, war, terrorism, riots, embargos, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, accidents, strikes or shortages of transportation facilities, fuel, energy, labor or materials. If a force majeure event occurs that affects Company’s or Encore’s performance of its obligations under these Terms: (a) Company will contact you as soon as reasonably possible to notify you; and (b) Company’s and Encore’s obligations under these Terms will be suspended and the time for Company’s or Encore’s performance of its obligations will be extended for the duration of the force majeure event. You may cancel the Services affected by a force majeure event that has continued for more than 30 days. To cancel please contact Company.

vii.   Arbitration Agreement.

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION  (" ARBITRATION AGREEMENT ") CAREFULLY. IT IS PART OF YOUR AGREEMENT WITH COMPANY AND AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS. IT CONTAINS PROCEDURES FOR MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER.

1. Applicability of Arbitration Agreement.

All claims and disputes (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as set forth below) in connection with these Terms or the use of any product or service provided by Company or Encore that cannot be resolved informally or in small claims court shall be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis under these Terms of this Arbitration Agreement. Unless otherwise agreed, all arbitration proceedings shall be held in English. This Arbitration Agreement applies to you, Company and Encore, and to any subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of services or goods provided under these Terms.

2. Notice Requirement and Informal Dispute Resolution.

Before a party may seek arbitration, the party must first send to the other party a written notice of dispute ("Notice") describing the nature and basis of the claim or dispute, and the requested relief.  A Notice to Company [or Encore] should be sent to North American Tickets, LLC, North American Tickets, LLC, 1501 Broadway, Suite 1313, New York, NY 10036, Attn: Cory Crayn. After the Notice is received, you and Company may attempt to resolve the claim or dispute informally. If you and Company do not resolve the claim or dispute within thirty (30) days after the Notice is received, either party may begin an arbitration proceeding. The amount of any settlement offer made by any party may not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator has determined the amount of the award, if any, to which either party is entitled.

3. Arbitration Rules.

Arbitration shall be initiated through JAMS, an established alternative dispute resolution provider (" ADR Provider ") that offers arbitration as set forth in this section. If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties shall agree to select an alternative ADR Provider. The rules of the ADR Provider shall govern all aspects of the arbitration, including but not limited to the method of initiating and/or demanding arbitration, except to the extent such rules are in conflict with these Terms. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Each party shall bear its own costs (including attorneys’ fees) and disbursements arising out of the arbitration and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the ADR Provider.

4. Time Limits.

If you, Company or Encore pursues arbitration, the arbitration action must be initiated and/or demanded within the statute of limitations (i.e., the legal deadline for filing a claim) and within any deadline imposed under the applicable ADR Provider for the pertinent claim.

5. Authority of Arbitrator.

The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and Company or Encore, as the case may be.

6. Waiver of Jury Trial.

THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY, instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient and less costly than rules applicable in a court and are subject to very limited review by a court. In the event any litigation should arise between you and Company or Encore in any state or federal court in a suit to vacate or enforce an arbitration award or otherwise, YOU AND COMPANY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, instead electing that the dispute be resolved by a judge.

7. Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions.

ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER.

8. Confidentiality.

All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, including but not limited to the award of the arbitrator and compliance therewith, shall be strictly confidential. The parties agree to maintain confidentiality unless otherwise required by law. This paragraph shall not prevent a party from submitting to a court of law any information necessary to enforce these Terms (including this Arbitration Agreement) to enforce an arbitration award, or to seek injunctive or equitable relief.

9. Right to Waive.

Any or all of the rights and limitations set forth in this Arbitration Agreement may be waived by the party against which the claim is asserted. Such waiver shall not waive or affect any other portion of this Arbitration Agreement

10.   Survival of Agreement.

This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of these Terms and/or your relationship with Company.

11.   Emergency Equitable Relief.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek emergency equitable relief before a state or federal court in order to maintain the status quo pending arbitration. A request for interim measures shall not be deemed a waiver of any other rights or obligations under this Arbitration Agreement.

12.   Claims Not Subject to Arbitration.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, claims of defamation, violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and infringement or misappropriation of the other party’s patent, copyright, trademark or trade secrets shall not be subject to this Arbitration Agreement.

13.   Courts.

In any circumstances where the foregoing Arbitration Agreement permits the parties to litigate in court, the parties hereby agree to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of the courts located within New York County, New York, for such purpose.

16.   Governing Law. These Terms and any action related hereto will be governed and interpreted by and under the laws of the State of New York, consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act, without giving effect to any principles that provide for the application of the law of another jurisdiction. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to these Terms.
