  1. How the Service Works. The Service can be used to facilitate the listing of Partner’s services and the booking of said services by Guests. EzTix makes available a platform for Guests and Partners to meet online and make a booking related to Partner’s services (a “Booking”). EzTix is not an owner or operator of the Partner, nor is it a Partner of the underlying activities, classes, events or tours, and EzTix does not own, sell, furnish, provide, rent, manage or control Partner’s products and services. EzTix’s responsibilities are limited to: (a) facilitating the availability of our Service to make Bookings and (b) serving as the limited agent of each Partner for the purpose of accepting payments from Guests on behalf of the Partner.
  2. As a condition of your use of this Service, you warrant that (a) you are 16 years old or older if you are a Guest and 18 years old or older if you are a Partner or Booking Agent’s representative ; (b) you possess the legal authority to create a binding legal obligation; (c) you will use this Service in accordance with this Agreement; (d) you will only use this Service to make legitimate listing and/or Bookings for you or for another person for whom you are legally authorized to act; (e) you will not make any speculative, false or fraudulent listings or Bookings; (f) you will inform such other persons about the terms and conditions that apply to the Bookings, including all applicable rules and restrictions, and obtain their agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions; (g) all information supplied by you is true, accurate, current and complete, (h) you will not use the Service to find a Partner or Guest and then complete the transaction independent of the Service, attempt to circumvent any obligation to pay any fee to EzTix, or make any Bookings in the anticipation of demand, and (i) if you have a EzTix.com account, you will safeguard your account information and will be responsible for any use of your account by you and anyone other than you. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT EZTIX DOES NOT CONTROL THE CONTENT CONTAINED IN ANY LISTINGS OR BOOKING AND MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR GUARANTEES ABOUT THE CONDITION, LEGALITY OR SUITABILITY OF ANY PRODUCT AND SERVICES OFFERED BY PARTNER. EZTIX IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR AND DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL LIABILITY RELATED TO ANY AND ALL LISTINGS, BOOKINGS AND PARTNER’S PRODUCTS AND SERVICES. THE USE OF PARTNER’S PRODUCTS AND SERVICES IS AT THE GUEST’S OWN RISK. The Partners, not EzTix, are solely responsible for honouring any Bookings and making available any product and services reserved through our Service. You agree and understand that you may be required to enter into an agreement with the Partner and that your Booking is contingent upon you agreeing to accept any terms, conditions, rules and restrictions imposed by the Partner. You acknowledge and agree that you, and not EzTix, will be responsible for performing the obligations of any such agreements and that EzTix is not a party to such agreements.
  3. Account Creation and Security. In consideration of your access or use of the Service, you will: provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself and your business as prompted by the Service’ settings and item information page (such information being the “Registration Data”) and maintain and promptly update the Registration Data to keep it true, accurate, current and complete. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or EzTix has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, EzTix has the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any or all future use of the Service.
    Account Security. You are entirely responsible for the security and confidentiality of your username and password. Furthermore, you are entirely responsible for any and all activities that occur under your account, including activities performed by authorized users and other third-parties. You will not share your username and password with any third party or permit any third party to log-on to the Service using your account information. If you share your username and password with any third party, permit them to log-on to or otherwise use the Service using your account information, or are negligent in maintaining the security of your username or password such that a third party gains access to your account, you assume all risks and losses and are responsible for any account activities by that third party, including but not limited to changes to your username, password, listings, Bookings or account settings, as if you performed such changes yourself. You agree to immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your account or any other breach of security of which you become aware.
    Authorized Users. Any individual identified in your Registration Data or that you later identify to us, including joint business owners or additional users, shall be deemed an authorized user of your EzTix.com account. You are responsible for all account activities by authorized users. You authorize us to give any authorized user information about your account, discuss your account with them and/or make changes to your account, according to the level of account access you give to an authorized user through the Services. Any disputes between you and any authorized user, or any other third-party to whom you have provided access to your account, including their control of the account, are solely between you and that third-party and EzTix has no responsibility or liability regarding such disputes.
  4. Property Damages. As a Guest, you acknowledge and agree that you are responsible for your own acts and omissions and are also responsible for the acts and omissions of any individuals who you invite to, or otherwise provide access to, the Partner’s property or service.

  5. Payment; Fees.
    Fees:
    In consideration for using the Service, you agree to pay the total amount included with the Booking, including any related charges, fees, deposits and taxes. You acknowledge that EzTix charges an additional fee to Guests based on the total booking cost and/or number of tickets purchased (the “Guest Fee”) and that EzTix may charge additional fees to Partners or Booking Agents. When applicable, taxes may also be charged. EzTix will charge the full cost of the booking plus the Guest Fee to Guest’s method of payment at the time that the Booking is submitted by the Guest. Please note that Partner, not EzTix, determines the Booking cost and is solely response for honouring any confirmed Bookings reserved through our Service. Further, you acknowledge and agree that EzTix is not responsible for any fees or charges from Guest’s financial institution associated with this transaction.
    Pre-authorization; Method of Payment: At the time that you make a Booking, you authorize EzTix, or a payment processor on its behalf, to (a) obtain a pre-authorization via your payment method for the total Booking value or (b) charge your payment method a nominal amount, not to exceed one US dollar ($1). You authorize EzTix, directly or indirectly via a third-party payment processor, to process your payment with the method of payment you select in the Booking and to collect the full amount of the Booking.
    Cancellations: The Partner’s cancellation policy will apply to any cancellation. Your ability to receive a refund for the booking and other amounts charged to you will depend upon the terms of the Partner’s cancellation policy and, in some cases, no refund may be issued. Except as provided herein, all bookings are non-refundable. Details regarding refunds and cancellation policies of the Partner are available in the listing or from the Partner. If a Partner cancels a confirmed Booking made via the Service, it is at the Partner’s discretion and the Partner’s responsibility to issue a refund for such Booking to the applicable Guest within a commercially reasonable time of the cancellation.
    Donations: Some Partners may choose to add the option for guests to make donations to a registered charity in which their organization supports. EzTix facilitates the collection and disbursement of those charitable donations on the Partner’s behalf. EzTix may only source donations for legally registered charities. EzTix is not a registered charity and is unable to issue tax receipts for any charitable donations made through our platform. For privacy reasons, EzTix also does not share or disclose the guest’s private information with the charities the guest’s choose to contribute to through our platform. To maintain GDPR and privacy compliance standards, EzTix will also not provide the guest’s private information with regards to charitable donations to the Partner organization. Should the guest wish to make a charitable donation through EzTix, the guest’s donation will be processed, minus a 5% processing fee which covers the internal administration of processing the donation. The remainder of the donation will be disbursed to the charity in regular intervals throughout the year (usually quarterly). The disbursement schedule will vary depending on the overall payment due from EzTix to the charity.
  6. Third-Party Payment Processor: EzTix uses a third- party payment processor to process your payments for the Services. By buying or selling on EzTix you authorize EzTix to disclose your information and payment instructions to the payment processor and agree to be bound by the current version of processor’s privacy policy and terms of service.
  7. Right to Cancel, Errors, Mistakes. The Service may contain technical inaccuracies and typographical or other errors in connection with information displayed, including without limitation rates, fee or availability related to your transaction. EzTix assumes no responsibility or liability for such errors, inaccuracies, or omissions. EzTix has the right to make changes, corrections or cancellations to such information or booking, at any time, including after confirmation of a transaction. EzTix is not responsible for communication failures, errors, difficulties, or other malfunctions or lost, stolen or misdirected transactions, transmissions, messages or entries on or in connection with our Service. The Service may not be continuously available due to maintenance or repairs or due to computer problems, disruptions in Internet service or other unforeseen circumstances.

You acknowledge and agree that, as between EzTix and yourself, you are responsible for the acts and omissions for your employees, contractors, vendors, agents and all other parties that are involved in providing your product or service or that are on your property.
  4. Fees; Payment. Fees: You authorize EzTix to collect the total booking cost plus applicable Guest Fees described in Section 5. You acknowledge that the Guest Fee is based on a variable percentage of the total booking cost and/or the number of tickets purchased and is set by EzTix. All Guest Fees are retained by EzTix and booking costs, including related charges and amounts attributable to government taxes or fees set by Partner, are remitted to Partner as described below. Partner acknowledges and agrees that, in the event of a refund and unless waived by EzTix, any fees that were originally charged to Partner and/or the Guest are non refundable. When a refund is requested, any guest fees refunded to the guest will be billed to the Partner as a Refund fee to cover the costs associated with fulfilling the refund. Please note that it is prohibited to refund Guests using any method other than requesting a refund through EzTix due to merchant processing regulations. The Partner agrees and understands that should the Partner’s pending EzTix payables balance be insufficient to cover the value of a refund request, EzTix and/or it’s payment processing partner, without any further notice, will automatically collected the additional funds required from the Partner’s default pay method on file. Refunds requests will be held by EzTix until the balance in the Partner’s account is sufficient to process the refund amount at which time the refund request will be processed automatically. Please note that EzTix does not currently charge fees for the creation of listings; however, you acknowledge and agree that EzTix reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to charge you for and collect fees from you for the creation of listings. Please note that EzTix will provide notice of any listing fee collection via the Service, prior to implementing such a fee.
    Payouts: EzTix will remit the collected booking costs, less those amounts that may be retained by EzTix. EzTix may, in EzTix’s sole but reasonable discretion, withhold part or all of the payment for a period of up to ninety (90) days after the date the product or services are rendered to the Guest by Partner in order to satisfy any cancellation requests or other refunds.  In the event of any refund, cancellation, reversal, chargeback, error or other need to return any amount of the booking cost to the Guest, you expressly authorize EzTix and its third-party payment processor to without any further notice or consent to (a) use funds currently held by EzTix to satisfy the obligation, (b) reverse part or all of any previously applied transfers from EzTix to Partner’s financial institution, or (c) to apply a debit against and transfer the necessary amounts directly from Partner’s financial institution or payment card held on file by EzTix. In some cases the Partner’s financial institution may charge the Partner a service fee to receive a payout from EzTix. Partner agrees that they are solely responsible should such a fee apply to any payment received from EzTix. EzTix does not charge the Partner any direct fees in conjunction with regular Payouts.
    Taxes: For all United States based Partners, the IRS regulation, regarding federal tax reporting requirements, stipulates that EzTix or its payment process must collect IRS Form W-9 information. If applicable and if required by applicable IRS regulations, EzTix will issue any required 1099s to Partner. You understand and agree that you are solely responsible for determining your applicable tax reporting requirements in consultation with your tax advisors. EzTix cannot and does not offer tax-related advice. Additionally, please note that each Partner is responsible for determining all applicable federal, state and local taxes and governmental fees, and for including any applicable taxes and fees to be collected in the applicable listings.

All parties acknowledge that any charitable donations made through the EzTix purchase process will not be provided with a tax receipt. All donations made through the EzTix purchase process, minus any applicable payment processing fees, will be distributed directly to the charity by EzTix.
  6. Website Development. From time to time EzTix may create websites, customer relationship management tools and other online features for use by Partner and Booking Agent (the “Online Assets”). Partner and Booking Agent acknowledge and agree that the Online Assets are the sole property of EzTix and, notwithstanding the inclusion of Partner’s marks, are not a “work made for hire” under the Copyright Act or any other law. To the extent that the foregoing does not apply, Partner and Booking Agent each assign to EzTix, and its successors and assigns, for no additional consideration, Partner’s and Booking Agent’s entire right, title and interest in and to the Online Assets and any intellectual property rights contained therein. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to reduce or limit EzTix’s right, title or interest in the Online Assets. Further, Partner and Booking Agent agree to stop using and return to EzTix the Online Assets at EzTix’s request or upon the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

Addendum [1]

General Data Protection Regulation Data Processing Addendum for EzTix Terms of Service
(European Economic Area & Switzerland)

This Data Processing Addendum (this “Addendum”), is part of the [EzTix Terms of Service] (“Agreement”) between EzTix and Controller and governs EzTix’s Processing of Personal Data to the extent such Personal Data relates to natural persons in the European Economic Area or Switzerland in connection with EzTix’s provision of the services described in the Agreement (“Services”). Except as expressly stated otherwise, in the event of a conflict between the terms of the Agreement and the terms of this Addendum, the terms of this Addendum will take precedence. This Addendum applies to each agreement between Controller and EzTix under which EzTix Processes Personal Data as part of performing under that agreement. The Addendum will be effective on May 25, 2018. All capitalized terms used but not defined in this Addendum have the meanings given to them in the Agreement.

“Personal Data” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (“data subject”). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by referencing an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person.

“Personal Data Breach” means a breach of security leading to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to Personal Data, whether transmitted, stored, or otherwise Processed.

“Processing” means any operation or set of operations that is performed on Personal Data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination, or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure, or destruction. “Process” and “Processed” will have a corresponding meaning.

  1. Instructions from the Controller. Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement to the contrary, EzTix will only Process Personal Data on documented instructions from Controller, including with regard to transfers of Personal Data to a third country or an international organization, unless required to do so by European Union or Member State law to which EzTix is subject. EzTix will promptly inform Controller if following Controller instructions would result in a violation of applicable data protection law or where EzTix must disclose Personal Data in response to a legal obligation (unless the legal obligation prohibits EzTix from making such disclosure).
  2. Confidentiality. EzTix will restrict access to Personal Data to those authorized persons who need such information to provide the Services. EzTix will ensure such authorized persons are obligated to maintain the confidentiality of any Personal Data.
  3. Security. EzTix will implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the Personal Data provided by Controller and Processed by EzTix. Such security measures will be at least as protective as the security requirements set forth in the Agreement.
  4. Sub-processors. Controller agrees that EzTix may engage other processors (“Sub-processors”) to assist in providing the Services consistent with the Agreement. EzTix will make a list of such Sub-processors available to Controller prior to transferring any Personal Data to such Sub-processors. EzTix will notify Controller of any changes to the list of Sub-processors in order to give Controller an opportunity to object to such changes. The list of Sub-processors can be found here.
  5. Sub-processor Obligations. Where EzTix engages another processor for carrying out specific Processing activities on behalf of Controller, the same data protection obligations as set out in this Addendum will be imposed on that other processor by way of a contract or other legal act under EU or Member State law, in particular providing sufficient guarantees to implement appropriate technical and organizational measures in such a manner that the Processing will meet the requirements of the EU data protection law. Where that other processor fails to fulfil its data protection obligations, EzTix will remain fully liable to the Controller for the performance of that other processor’s obligations.
  6. Access Requests. EzTix has implemented and will maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures needed to enable Controller to respond to requests from data subjects to access, correct, transmit, limit processing of, or delete any relevant Personal Data held by EzTix.
  7. Recordkeeping. Upon a request issued by a supervisory authority for records regarding Personal Data, EzTix will cooperate to provide the supervisory authority with records related to Processing activities performed on Controller’s behalf, including information on the categories of Personal Data Processed and the purposes of the Processing, the use of service Partners with respect to such Processing, any data disclosures or transfers to third parties and a general description of technical and organizational measures to protect the security of such data.
  8. Cooperation. EzTix will cooperate to the extent reasonably necessary in connection with Controller’s requests related to data protection impact assessments and consultation with supervisory authorities and for the fulfillment of Controller’s obligation to respond to requests for exercising a data subject’s rights in Chapter III of Regulation (EU) 2016/679. EzTix reserves the right to charge Controller for its reasonable costs in collecting and preparing Personal Data for transfer and for any special arrangements for making the transfer.
  9. Third Party Requests. If EzTix receives a request from a third party in connection with any government investigation or court proceeding that EzTix believes would require it to produce any Personal Data, EzTix will inform Controller in writing of such request and cooperate with Controller if Controller wishes to limit, challenge or protect against such disclosure, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
  10. Transfer of Personal Data; Appointment. Controller authorizes EzTix to transfer, store or Process Personal Data in the United States or any other country in which EzTix or its Sub-processors maintain facilities. Controller appoints EzTix to perform any such transfer of Personal Data to any such country and to store and Process Personal Data in order to provide the Services. EzTix will conduct all such activity in compliance with the Agreement, this Addendum, applicable law and Controller instructions.
  11. Retention. Personal Data received from Controller will be retained only for so long as may be reasonably required in connection with EzTix’s performance of the Agreement or as otherwise required under applicable law.
  12. Deletion or Return. At the choice of the Controller, EzTix will delete or return all the Personal Data to the Controller after the end of the provision of services related to Processing, and delete existing copies unless European Union or Member State law requires storage of the Personal Data. EzTix will relay Controller’s instructions to all Sub-processors.
  13. Breach Notification. After becoming aware of a Personal Data Breach, EzTix will notify Controller without undue delay of: (a) the nature of the data breach; (b) the number and categories of data subjects and data records affected; and (c) the name and contact details for the relevant contact person at EzTix.
  14. Audits. Upon request, EzTix will make available to Controller all information necessary, and allow for and contribute to audits, including inspections, conducted by Controller or another auditor mandated by Controller, to demonstrate compliance with Article 28 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679. For clarity, such audits or inspections are limited to EzTix’s Processing of Personal Data only, not any other aspect of EzTix’s business or information systems. If Controller requires EzTix to contribute to audits or inspections that are necessary to demonstrate compliance, Controller will provide EzTix with written notice at least 60 days in advance of such audit or inspection. Such written notice will specify the things, people, places or documents to be made available. Such written notice, and anything produced in response to it (including any derivative work product such as notes of interviews), will be considered Confidential Information and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, will remain Confidential Information in perpetuity or the longest time allowable by applicable law after termination of the Agreement. Such materials and derivative work product produced in response to Controller’s request will not be disclosed to anyone without the prior written permission of EzTix unless such disclosure is required by applicable law. If disclosure is required by applicable law, Controller will give EzTix prompt written notice of that requirement and an opportunity to obtain a protective order to prohibit or restrict such disclosure except to the extent such notice is prohibited by applicable law or order of a court or governmental agency. Controller will make every effort to cooperate with EzTix to schedule audits or inspections at times that are convenient to EzTix. If, after reviewing EzTix’s response to Controller’s audit or inspection request, Controller requires additional audits or inspections, Controller acknowledges and agrees that it will be solely responsible for all costs incurred in relation to such additional audits or inspections.
