SERVICES
TicketsCandy shall provide the following services (“Services”) under this Agreement:
1. Display and list Your Event on TicketsCandy’s website.
2. Build You, if needed, a one-page website (“Our Website”) that can be hosted at our or your hosting provider, and connect it to our or your domain name. Since TicketsCandy is not the creator, organizer or owner of the events that will be listed on Our Website, the Organizer is solely responsible for ensuring that any information displayed on Our Website meets all applicable local, state, provincial, national and other laws, rules and regulations, and that the goods and services described on the site are delivered as described and in an accurate satisfactory manner.
3. Connect Our Website, or Your website, if you already have one, to Our Ticketing Solution.
4. Accept and process online orders for tickets to Your Event. Let you manage your tickets and Events through Our Ticketing Solution.
5. Provide an accounting to You of Our fees and charges for each ticket sold by us.
SERVICE CHARGES
TicketsCandy charges 0.9% service fee (Service Fee) for each order that includes a ticket, registration or other item sold via Our Services. The Service Fee applies towards the total order amount processed using Our Services. We will invoice you for all applicable Service Fees from Your booking revenue as stated in this Agreement. Inability to pay the Service Fee will result in termination of Our Services.
Our Service Fee does not include other fees from 3rd party providers that will be required to build the Organizers’ website or for its different operations. Such 3rd party fees might include, but not limited to, fees for merchant or payment gateway services, domain names, SSL certificates, webmail, marketing tools and so on.
PAYMENTS PROCESSING
The Organizers must use a 3rd party payment processing method that we will connect to Our Ticketing Solution.
You will collect all monies directly from Customers and agree to accept sole responsibility for providing refunds at your own discretion. TicketsCandy will not be responsible or liable for any refunds (or the lack thereof) or chargebacks.
In no event are TicketsCandy Service Fees refundable, and such fees will be deducted or charged in accordance with the next sentence without regard to whether you issue a refund to Your Customers.
The amount owed to us will be automatically deducted or charged, as applicable, weekly in connection with delivery of your invoice: 1. from your bank account, 2. from Your PayPal account, or 3. to your credit card on file. In the event that payment fails twice, TicketsCandy will suspend access to the Services and no further tickets will be sold to Your Event until full payment on outstanding invoices has been received.
You may not attempt to conceal your identity by using multiple Internet Protocol addresses or email addresses, or by any other means, to conduct transactions on Our Website. You will not hold us liable if You do not comply with laws related to Your transactions. We may provide law enforcement with information You provide to us related to Your transactions to assist in any investigation or prosecution of You. If We are unable to verify or authenticate any information You provide during any registration, ordering, purchase, ticket posting, sale, authentication, delivery, payment or remittance process, or any other process, or if We are no longer able to verify or authorize Your credit card or bank account information, Your Services may be cancelled.
REFUNDS

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.

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.
