5. Your Use Of The Services.

5.1 The Services.

Matcherino hereby grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable (except to sub-Users registered via the Services), revocable (in accordance with Section 5.2 (“Matcherino’s Role”) of the Terms of Service), limited right to access and use the Services solely for the purposes of (a) browsing the Services and searching for, viewing, registering for or purchasing tickets or making donations to an event that is registered on the Services; and/or (b) if you are an Organizer or sponsor, creating event registration, speaker profile, organizer profile, ad campaign, fundraising and other webpages with respect to, and promoting, managing, tracking, and collecting sales or advertising proceeds for, an event, in each case (i) in compliance with these Terms of Service; and (ii) to the extent permitted under all applicable local, state, provincial, national and other laws, rules and regulations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you shall not, and shall not permit anyone else to, directly or indirectly (A) copy, modify, reproduce, translate, localize, port or otherwise create derivatives of any part of the Services; (B) reverse engineer, disassemble, decompile or otherwise attempt to discover the source code or structure, sequence and organization of all or any part of the Services (except that this restriction shall not apply to the limited extent restrictions on reverse engineering are prohibited by applicable local, state, provincial, national or other law, rule or regulation); (C) rent, lease, resell, distribute, use the Services for timesharing, service bureau or other commercial purposes not contemplated by this paragraph or otherwise exploit the Services in any unauthorized or unintended manner; (D) remove or alter any proprietary notices or labels on or in the Services; or (E) engage in any activity that interferes with or disrupts the Services. Any rights not expressly granted in this paragraph are reserved.

5.2. Matcherino’s Role.

5.2.1 Listing Service and Limited Agent.

Matcherino is not the organizer or owner of the events listed for sale or registration on the Services. Matcherino provides the Services, which allow Organizers to list and promote their events, but all sales are made by the respective Organizer listed on the applicable event page. In the event that an Organizer has elected to use Matcherino’s Managed Payment Processing (as defined below), Matcherino also acts as the Organizer’s limited agent solely for the purpose of using its third party payment providers to collect payments made by Attendees on the Services with respect to an event and passing such payments through to the applicable Organizer. It is the Organizer’s sole obligation to ensure that any event page posting on the Services and the nature and conduct of the underlying event meet all applicable local, state, provincial, national and other laws, rules and regulations, and that the goods and services described in any event page posting are actually delivered in a satisfactory manner.

YOU UNDERSTAND THAT MATCHERINO IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY ACTS, OMISSIONS, INJURIES, OR CLAIMS: (i) CAUSED BY THE ORGANIZER OR OTHER EVENT ATTENDEES OR THIRD PARTIES, OR (ii) THAT ARISE IN ANY OTHER MANNER FROM ANY EVENT THAT YOU ATTEND AS A RESULT OF USING OUR SERVICES. BY ATTENDING AN EVENT THROUGH OUR SERVICES, YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOU MAY AND WILL BE EXPOSED TO A NUMBER OF RISKS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE RISK OF PHYSICAL INJURY CAUSED BY ATTENDEES OR OTHER AUTHORIZED OR UNAUTHORIZED THIRD PARTIES. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THESE RISKS ARE INHERENT TO SUCH ATTENDANCE AND YOU FURTHER UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY CLAIMS OR INJURIES ARISING THEREIN ARE SOLELY THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE EVENT’S RESPECTIVE ORGANIZER. IN ADDITION TO ANY CONDITIONS EXPRESSED ELSEWHERE IN THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE: (A) MATCHERINO HAS NO CONTROL OVER AND DOES NOT GUARANTEE THE QUALITY, SAFETY OR LEGALITY OF EVENTS ADVERTISED; (B) MATCHERINO HAS NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR, AND HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY ARISING FROM, THE ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF ANY THIRD PARTIES, INCLUDING THOSE YOU INTERACT WITH AS A RESULT OF USING OUR SERVICES; (C) TO RELEASE MATCHERINO FROM ALL DAMAGES, COSTS AND EXPENSES OF EVERY KIND, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND THIRD PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH ANY EVENT LISTED ON THE SERVICES; (D) ANY AND ALL POTENTIAL CLAIMS AGAINST MATCHERINO ARE FURTHER SUBJECT TO THE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION TERMS AS PROVIDED ELSEWHERE IN THESE TERMS OF SERVICE.

5.2.2 Managed Payment Processing.

Your use of Matcherino includes access to its proprietary payment platform (“Managed Payment Processing,” or “MPP”), which collects funds associated with an event using third-party payment services who serve as money transmitters and money services businesses (Money Transmitters and Money Service Businesses as defined under the U.S. Code of Regulations, Title 31, Chapter X, Part 1010, Subpart A, and as defined under FinCEN). We utilize these third-party gateways, payment processors, merchant acquirers and/or merchant acquiring banks with which we have relationships (collectively, “Payment Processing Partners”) within our MPP. In depositing and withdrawing funds from your Matcherino account, you appoint Matcherino as your limited payment collection agent for the sole purpose of processing event-related payments associated with the Services. The Matcherino MPP is not a Money Transmitter or Money Service Business, but merely provides access to such Payment Processing Partners within our integrated network.

We do not and will not provide banking, deposit taking, stored value, or any other financial services to you other than serving as a limited payment collection agent as set forth in this Agreement.

For convenience, we may display a balance of proceeds for your events in your account. However, that balance merely reflects the amount of event-related funds through our Payment Processing Partners, and represents only a general unsecured claim against us and not a store of value or a deposit/current account.

5.2.2.1 Payment Restrictions.

You may only use the MPP to: (i) make donations to a Prize Pool, (ii) purchase rewards from the Rewards Store, (iii) withdraw funds as a Prize Pool Recipient, (iv) purchase tickets to authorized events, or (v) such other transaction as explicitly offered and provided in the Service. Users sending payments through the MPP are bound by our PPP’s applicable terms of use, for example PayPal’s terms of use and its Crowdfunding and Acceptable Use Policies.

As a condition to Matcherino enabling credit card payment processing services, you agree to provide Matcherino accurate and complete information about you and your business, and you authorize Matcherino to share any such information with the MPP, as well as transaction information related to your use of it. In all cases, standard credit card or other third party processing fees apply in addition to any service fees. We are not responsible for the performance of any payment service providers and the use of your account with such services. Any attempt to defraud through the use of credit cards or other methods of payment, regardless of the outcome, or any failure by you to honor legitimate charges or requests for payment, will result in immediate termination of your account, forfeiture of event winnings, and pursuit of civil litigation and/or criminal prosecution.

 

5.2.2.2 Taxes.

If you are a U.S. resident, we, as agent for our sponsor partners, may send you an IRS Form W-9 and 1099-MISC or other appropriate form if we determine your winnings total $600 or more in any given calendar year. Depending on the state in which you reside, we may also send you additional federal or state tax forms and require you to provide certain information or complete certain “tax interviews” to determine your tax or withholding status prior to disbursement of your event winnings. Without limiting the foregoing, as agent for our developer partners, we may withhold from your existing account balance and/or from future winnings any amount required to be withheld by Applicable Laws, including amounts due in connection with your failure to complete relevant tax documentation, but you remain solely responsible for paying all federal, state and other taxes in accordance with all Applicable Laws. The failure by you to comply with any required information for tax reporting or withholding purposes may result in termination of your account and/or forfeiture of funds.

5.2.3 Fees.

Creating an account, listing an event and accessing the Services is free. We charge our fees only when you sell, buy, or donate funds through the Site. All descriptions of standard fees on the Services represent the standard fees that Matcherino charges to Organizers. These fees may vary based on individual agreements between Matcherino and certain Organizers. Organizers ultimately choose if these fees will be passed along to Attendees and shown as “Fees” on the applicable event page or absorbed into the ticket or registration price and paid by the Organizer out of ticket and registration gross proceeds. The fees charged to Attendees may include certain other charges, including without limitation, facility fees, royalties, taxes, processing fees and fulfillment fees. Therefore, the fees paid by Attendees for an event are not necessarily the same as those charged by Matcherino to the applicable Organizer or the standard fees described on the Services to Organizers. In addition, certain fees are meant, on average, to defray certain costs incurred by Matcherino, but may in some cases include an element of profit and in some cases include an element of loss. Matcherino does not control (and thus cannot disclose) fees levied by your bank and/or credit card company, including fees for purchasing tickets and registrations in foreign currencies or from foreign persons. Be sure to check with your bank or credit card company prior to engaging in a transaction to understand all applicable fees, credit card surcharges and currency conversion rates.

5.2.4 Refunds.

Because all transactions are between an Organizer and its respective Attendees, Matcherino asks that all Attendees contact the applicable Organizer of their event with any refund requests. Organizers agree to post and maintain a refund policy on each event page and that refund policy will govern. In the event that an Organizer has not responded to a refund request within two (2) business days or there is a dispute between an Organizer and an Attendee that cannot be resolved, either party may contact Matcherino. Matcherino may, in its discretion, attempt to mediate such dispute, however, Matcherino will have no liability for (a) an Organizer’s failure to give refunds; (b) Matcherino’s failure to mediate a dispute; or (c) Matcherino’s decision if it does mediate the dispute.

5.2.5 Events and Ticketing.

5.2.5.1 Rescheduling and Cancellations.

Either Matcherino or an Organizer may elect, in their discretion, to cancel or reschedule an event. Organizers are responsible for informing ticket purchasers of any alterations to their events, including but not limited to rescheduling or cancellation. If you purchase tickets to an event that is rescheduled or cancelled, please contact the Organizer directly.

5.2.5.2 Ticketing Restrictions; Delivery; Resale.

Matcherino may cancel any ticket order, either by our own choosing or at the request of an Organizer, for reasons including but not limited to:

(a) The ticket purchaser engaged in harassing, unlawful, or otherwise inappropriate conduct at prior Matcherino-affiliated events.

(b) The ticket purchaser is attempting to create a secondary ticketing market.

(c) The ticket purchaser resides in a jurisdiction in which purchase would be unlawful.

We may refuse to honor pending and future purchases made from all accounts we believe may be associated with you, or cancel a ticket or ticket order associated with any person we believe to be acting with you, or cancel your ticket postings, or exercise any other remedy available to us.

Matcherino distributes tickets through a simple process: ticket purchasers gain access to a code, which they then provide, in person, to event staff. Standard Mail or Will Call may be offered, although each Organizer will select delivery methods at their own discretion.

At present, Matcherino functionality does not support transfer or re-sale of tickets by users. Users can only access the codes associated with purchased passes through their account login. However, unless the organizer explicitly prohibits such conduct, users are fully permitted to re-sell or transfer tickets by vending or giving another person access to the pass code. You agree to abide by the Organizer’s ticket resale rules and restrictions, which may or may not be listed on the Matcherino event page. You may not resell any tickets than were bought with the help of a bot or any other automated software. You represent that you are aware of any restrictions on resale that may apply within the jurisdiction in which you elect to resell, and that you will comply with such restrictions.

5.2.5.3 License; Ejection and Cancellation; No Redemption Value.

Organizers reserve the right, without refund of any amount paid, to refuse admission to, or eject, any person whose conduct management deems disorderly, who uses vulgar or abusive language or who fails to comply with Organizer rules.

Breach of terms or rules will terminate your license to attend the event without refund. A ticket code, and the associated physical ticket (should one exist), is a revocable license and admission may be refused upon refunding the ticket’s face amount.

5.2.5.4 Publicity, Recording, Transmission and Exhibition.

You agree that the event for which you purchase tickets is a public event, that your appearance and actions inside and outside the venue where the event occurs are public in nature, and that you have no expectation of privacy with regard to your actions or conduct at the event. You grant permission to Matcherino and the Organizer to utilize your name, image, likeness, acts, poses, plays, appearance, movements, and statements in any live or recorded audio, video, or photographic display or other transmission, exhibition, publication or reproduction made of, or at, the event (regardless of whether before, during or after play or performance) for any purpose, in any manner, in any medium or context now known or hereafter developed, without further authorization from, or compensation to, you or anyone acting on your behalf.

Organizers consent to Matcherino’s and its service providers’ and business partners’ use of your name, voice, likeness, and photograph in connection with the development, production, distribution and/or exploitation (including marketing and promotion) of their event and/or other Matcherino events and Matcherino generally, unless otherwise prohibited by law. Matcherino and its business partners reserve the right to make public statements about the event and Prize Pool Recipients and other event participants, on-air, on the Internet, or otherwise, prior to, during, or following the event. You agree that participation in and (where applicable) the winning of a Prize Pool or other Organizer prize in connection with an event constitutes complete compensation for your obligations under this paragraph, and you agree not to seek to charge a fee or impose other conditions on the fulfillment of these obligations. The rules specific to certain events may contain additional publicity obligations or may require a written signature on a separate publicity waiver.

5.2.5.5 You Are Subject to Search.

You and your belongings may be searched on entry to the event. You consent to such searches and waive any related claims that may arise. If you elect not to consent to such searches, you may be denied entry to the event without refund or other compensation.

5.2.5.6 Certain Items May Be Prohibited By Venue or By Organizer.

Be aware that under certain facility rules, certain items may not be brought into the premises, including without limitation: alcohol, drugs, controlled substances, cameras, recording devices, laser pointers, strobe lights, irritants (e.g., artificial noisemakers), bundles, and containers.

If you are unsure whether a particular item may be prohibited at a particular event or by a particular venue, please reach out to the Organizer.

5.2.6 The Prize Pool.

All competitors participating in an event with a crowdfunded prize (“Prize Pool”) can collect any prizes they have earned once they have registered as a User at Matcherino.com, and the Organizer has designated him/her a Prize Pool Recipient. It is the Organizer’s sole responsibility to set the rules for awarding Prize Pool proceeds and to designate the Prize Pool Recipients in order to release the Prize Pool funds to the winners, which should occur no later than thirty (30) days after the end of the event. If the disbursement has not occurred within thirty (30) days after the end of the event, Matcherino will work in good faith with all parties to resolve the issue. For any given event utilizing the Matcherino Services, in addition to these Terms of Service, Matcherino may also choose, in Matcherino’s sole discretion, to set additional rules for the awarding of any event winnings for that event, in which case Matcherino’s rules will govern.

In the event that the awarding of any prizes to Prize Pool Recipients is believed by Matcherino in good faith to conflict with any applicable laws or regulation, or if it is challenged by any legal authority, and to the extent that we may exercise any control over the prizes, we reserve the right in our sole discretion to determine whether or not, and to whom, to award such prizes. Matcherino may, in its sole discretion, require that an entrant or Recipient (as the case may be) complete and execute an affidavit of eligibility or complete certain other forms or provide documentation for tax or regulatory compliance, in which, among other things, the Prize Pool Recipient is required to represent and warrant that they are eligible to participate in an event, is otherwise in compliance with this Agreement and all applicable laws, and, potentially, is required to provide documentation or proof of eligibility and compliance.

If a Prize Pool Recipient has not claimed his or her event winnings in accordance with these Terms or if Recipient is determined by Matcherino in its good faith discretion to have breached these Terms in any manner, such Recipient may be deemed to forfeit the event winnings and relinquish all claim and right to such winnings, and Matcherino hereby reserves the right to disgorge, recoup, disburse, or refund the forfeited winnings in any manner of Matcherino’s choosing in Matcherino’s sole discretion.

5.2.7 Online Events; Compliance with Local Laws.

5.2.7.1. Valid Registration Information. You, as an Attendee, understand that you may be required by an Organizer or by Matcherino to provide information in order to compete in online events, including information regarding your location. As further described in Section 5.4.1, you represent and warrant to Matcherino and to the respective event Organizer that any such information you provide is true, accurate, current and complete (and knowingly submitting incomplete or inaccurate information, or failing to update and maintain current, complete and accurate information, may result, without limitation, in immediate termination of your account and forfeiture of any event winnings). 

5.2.7.2. Prohibited US States and Countries. As further described in Section 5.1, you are responsible for the lawful use of the Services under your jurisdiction’s applicable laws. You acknowledge that various rules, regulations and laws addressing sweepstakes, contests, and tournaments with entry fees and/or prizes govern your participation in online tournament events (“Gaming Laws”), and that Gaming Laws are set up by each individual US state, country, territory, or jurisdiction. You are not permitted to participate in such events in any state in which it violates that jurisdiction’s Gaming Laws, and if you are located in any prohibited jurisdiction then you may not participate in any such events, online or otherwise, that require entry fees. In the United States, prohibited jurisdictions, as of the “Updated” date above, include but are not limited to: Arizona, Colorado, Delaware, Louisiana, Montana, and Tennessee. In addition, the following states do not permit entry fees in certain circumstances, and you may not participate in competitions with entry fees unless you meet those applicable requirements and the Organizer expressly permits Attendee participation from that jurisdiction: Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Carolina. This is not intended to be an exhaustive list, and it is your responsibility to determine whether the state, country, territory or jurisdiction in which you are located is a prohibited or regulated jurisdiction. We and our Organizer partners reserve the right (but have no obligation) to monitor the location from which you access Services and we and our Organizer partners may block access from any prohibited or regulated jurisdiction.

5.2.7.3. In addition to Gaming Laws, you are also subject to all municipal, state and federal laws, rules and regulations of the city, state and country in which you reside and from which you access and use Services, including without limitation U.S. export laws (together with Gaming Laws, the “Applicable Laws”). You are solely responsible for your compliance with all Applicable Laws. Access to events may not be legal for some or all residents of, or persons present in, certain jurisdictions. SERVICES AND EVENTS THROUGH MATCHERINO ARE VOID WHERE PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAWS. Your participation in events through Matcherino is at your own risk, and you agree not to hold us responsible or Organizers liable if Applicable Laws restrict or prohibit your access or participation.

5.2.7.4. LEGAL DISCLAIMERS. WE MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE LAWFULNESS OF YOUR PARTICIPATING IN ANY ONLINE EVENT OR COMPETITION OFFERED BY ORGANIZERS OR USE OF SERVICES, NOR SHALL ANY PERSON AFFILIATED, OR CLAIMING AFFILIATION, WITH US HAVE AUTHORITY TO MAKE ANY SUCH REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES. THE ABOVE DISCLAIMER IS IN ADDITION TO AND PURSUANT TO THOSE STATED IN SECTION 6.

5.2.7.5. Brand Partner restrictions. To the extent your use of the Services are subject to the intellectual property rights or other guidelines or restrictions of a Third Party Service provider of such Third Party Service provider event or tournament guidelines and other instructions provided by such Third Party Service provider; indemnify Third Party Service provider and its affiliates (including their parents and subsidiaries) and all their respective officers, directors, members, shareholders, insurers, plans, fiduciaries, agents and employees from and against any and all claims, actions, suits, proceedings, and demands (and all resulting judgments, bona fide settlements, penalties, liabilities, damages, losses, costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees and costs)) arising out of or related to the event or their acts or omissions, and name the Third Party Service provider as the third-party beneficiary to allow it to make claims and directly enforce against you.

5.3 Email.

5.6.2 Certain Remedial Rights.

You acknowledge that Matcherino does not pre-screen Your Content or the Content of any other User in connection with the Services, but that Matcherino and its designees shall have the right (but not the obligation) to monitor, alter, edit or remove any of Your Content, in whole or in part, based on violations of the Terms of Service. If we believe that Your Content could be changed so as to not violate the Terms of Service, we will attempt to send you notice prior to taking any such action, provided, that if we must act immediately to comply with applicable local, state, provincial, national or other law, rule or regulation or to limit our liability, we may take such action without prior notice. You acknowledge and agree that Matcherino may preserve Your Content and account information and may also disclose Your Content and account information if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such preservation or disclosure is reasonably necessary to (a) comply with legal process; (b) respond to claims that any of Your Content violates the rights of third parties; (c) enforce or administer the Terms of Service; and/or (d) protect the rights, property and/or personal safety of Matcherino, its users and/or the public, including fraud prevention. You understand that the technical processing and transmission of the Services, including Your Content, may involve transmissions over various networks and/or changes to conform and adapt to technical requirements of connecting networks or devices.

5.7 Sub-domains.

Matcherino may provide you with the right to use a sub-domain within the Site (e.g., [sub-domain prefix].Matcherino.com) for a given event. All such sub-domains are the sole property of Matcherino and we reserve the right to determine the appearance, design, functionality and all other aspects of such sub-domains. In the event Matcherino provides you with a sub-domain, your right to use such sub-domain will continue only for so long as your event is actively selling on the Services and you are in compliance with the Terms of Service. If Matcherino terminates your right to use a sub-domain for any other reason, it will provide you with a new sub-domain.

5.8 Additional Services.

Matcherino may, upon request, and for such fees as Matcherino may establish from time to time in its sole discretion, provide additional services to you beyond the basic functionality of the Site, including without limitation, marketing and promotion services, leasing ticket scanning and other equipment, providing on-site entry management consultants to assist you with your event set-up and providing dedicated account management services. All such additional services, whether provided prior to, during or following your event, shall be deemed a part of the Services and subject to all the terms and conditions of the Terms of Service. Such additional services shall be set forth in additional terms and conditions or other written agreements between you and an authorized officer of Matcherino, and shall set forth the applicable fees and the other terms and conditions relating to such additional services.

5.9 Service Modifications.

We are constantly evolving our products and services to better meet the needs of our entire user base. Because of this, we do not guarantee any set of product features or functionality and reserve the right at any time to, and from time to time may, modify, suspend or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, any part of the Services for any reason. Because you only pay fees to Matcherino as you use the Services, there would be no refund of fees already due following any such change to the Services.

5.10 Links.

5.10.1 Third Party Websites.

The Services may provide, or Users may provide, links to other Internet websites or resources. Because Matcherino has no control over such websites and resources, you acknowledge and agree that Matcherino is not responsible for the availability of such websites or resources, and does not endorse and is not responsible or liable for any Content, advertising, products, services or other materials on or available from such websites or resources, or any damages or losses related thereto, even if such websites or resources are connected with Matcherino partners or third party service providers.

5.10.2 Linked Accounts.

As part of the Services you may be able to link an account you have with a third party service, such as a social media website. By linking such third party account, you agree that Matcherino may access, make available to and store any Content that you have provided to and stored in such third party account so that it is available on or through the Services. Such content may include personally identifiable information.

5.11 Privacy; Customer Information.

5.11.1 Privacy Policy.

All information provided by Users or collected by Matcherino in connection with the Services is governed by Matcherino’s Privacy Policy, a copy of which is located here. The Privacy Policy is incorporated into the Terms of Service by reference. Matcherino strongly recommends that you review the Privacy Policy.

5.11.2 Co-Ownership.

Matcherino follows a “co-ownership model” with respect to Attendee Information (as defined below). This means that all Attendee Information inputted by an Attendee on event pages posted by an Organizer on the Services will be shared with the applicable Organizer and may also be used by Matcherino in accordance with our Privacy Policy, including marketing or promotion of other events or services that may be of interest to the applicable Attendee. Note that Payment Data (as defined below) will not be shared with Organizers. Each Attendee acknowledges and agrees to this sharing and understands and agrees that each Organizer is solely responsible for the use of Attendee Information that was provided to such Organizer through the Services and that Matcherino is responsible only for its own use of Attendee Information. Each Organizer represents, warrants and agrees that (a) it will at all times comply with all applicable local, state, provincial, national and other laws, rules and regulations with respect to Attendee Information; (b) it will at all times comply with any applicable policies posted on the Services with respect to Attendee Information; and (c) upon a request of a given Attendee or as permitted in Section 5.6.2. (“Certain Remedial Rights”) of these Terms of Service, Matcherino is authorized at its discretion to delete or anonymize Attendee Information of a requesting Attendee from the Services at which time it will no longer be available to Organizer through the Services or will no longer be linked to an identifiable Attendee through the Services. However, Attendees should note that Attendee Information may still be available in the Organizer’s own databases if transmitted prior to Matcherino receiving the underlying request. For purposes of this Section, “Attendee Information” means information about a given Attendee made available on or through the Services, including, without limitation, name, address, e-mail address, past event attendance, event interests, credit card type, last 4 credit card digits and phone numbers, but excluding Payment Data.

15.11.3 Payment Data.

Matcherino will not share with an Organizer any Payment Data. “Payment Data” means any full credit card number or other full payment account number and the related expiration date and security code entered by an Attendee on the Services in order to purchase a ticket or registration, make a donation or purchase merchandise related to events, so long as such information is entered in the fields under “Payment” on the order payment page. Note that if an Attendee enters such information in other areas of the Services or otherwise provides it to another User, it may not be encrypted and may be automatically shared with the applicable Organizer, so Attendees should enter such information only under “Payment” on the order payment page.

15.11.4 Data Protection.

You agree to adhere to all Applicable Data Protection Laws in your use of the Services and your use of any Third Party Services. “Applicable Data Protection Laws” means all applicable data privacy, data protection, and cybersecurity laws, rules and regulations to which the Parties are subject, including, but not be limited to, the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”) and the EU General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (“GDPR”). To the extent you use any Third Party Service, you agree to follow and be bound by any data processing agreement of that Third Party Service provider that is made available to you or that is publicly available and accessible on that Third Party Service provider’s website.

6.4 Release.

Matcherino provides a marketplace in which Attendees and Organizers can transact. However, Matcherino could not function if it were held responsible for the actions or inactions of different Attendees, Organizers and/or third parties both on and off the Services. Therefore, as an inducement to Matcherino permitting you to access and use the Services, you hereby agree to release Matcherino, and its affiliates and subsidiaries, and each of its and their respective officers, directors, agents, partners and employees from all damages (whether direct, indirect, incidental, consequential or otherwise), losses, liabilities, costs and expenses of every kind and nature, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with disputes between you and third parties (including other Users) in connection with the Services or any event listed on the Services. In addition, you waive any applicable law or statute, which says, in substance:

6.9 Choice of Law.

Except as set forth in Section 6.10 below, these Terms of Service and the provision of the Services to you are governed by the laws of the state of Washington, U.S.A., without reference to principles of conflict of laws.

6.10 BINDING ARBITRATION.

ONLY FOR USERS LOCATED IN THE UNITED STATES:

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY AS IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS. ANY DISPUTE OR CLAIM UNDER THESE TERMS OF SERVICE OR WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES WILL BE SETTLED BY BINDING ARBITRATION OR IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT (TO THE EXTENT THE CLAIM QUALIFIES) AND WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY; CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE ARBITRATIONS AND CIVIL ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED ONCE THIS SECTION IS EFFECTIVE.

(a) Contact Us First.

If you have a question or concern about the Services, please contact us first at: support at matcherino.com. Our customer support team will try to answer your question or resolve your concern.

(b) Agreement to Arbitrate.

In the unlikely event that our customer support team is unable to resolve your concerns, we each hereby agree to resolve any and all disputes or claims under these Terms of Service or with respect to the Services through binding arbitration or in small claims court (to the extent the claim qualifies) instead of in courts of general jurisdiction and only on an individual basis and not as part of any purported class, consolidated or representative proceeding. Arbitration, which is often cheaper, faster and less formal than a lawsuit in court, uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief as a court. Binding arbitration is subject to very limited review. Only the arbitrator appointed pursuant to this Section, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have the authority to resolve any dispute or claim relating to this Section, including, without limitation, the scope, enforceability and arbitrability of these Terms of Service. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms of Service. These Terms of Service evidence a transaction in interstate commerce and the interpretation and enforcement of this Section 6.10 is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, notwithstanding the choice of law set forth in Section 6.9 above.

(c) Scope of Agreement.

This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted. It includes, but is not limited to: (i) all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory; (ii) all claims that arose before this or any prior agreement (including, but not limited to, claims relating to advertising); and (iii) all claims that may arise after termination of these Terms of Service and/or your use of the Services.

(d) Exceptions.

Notwithstanding this Agreement to arbitrate, either party may (i) bring an action on an individual basis in small claims court (to the extent the applicable claim qualifies), (ii) bring issues to the attention of federal, state or local agencies, and (iii) bring suit in court to seek a preliminary injunction or other interim relief pending the outcome of arbitration.

(e) No Class Actions.

YOU AND MATCHERINO AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS, MAY NOT PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING AND MAY ONLY PROVIDE RELIEF IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF WARRANTED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM.

(f) Notice of Dispute.

A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). The Notice to Matcherino must be addressed to the address in Section 6.7 above (“Notice Address”) and must be sent by certified mail. The Notice to you must be addressed to a mailing, home or payment address currently on record with Matcherino and must be sent by certified mail. If Matcherino has no records of such physical address, such notice may be delivered to your Matcherino account email address. The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. If Matcherino and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, you or Matcherino may commence an arbitration proceeding.

(g) Arbitration Proceedings.

The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules, or, if the actions giving rise to the dispute or claim relate to your personal or household use of the Services (rather than business use), the Consumer Arbitration Rules (in each case, the “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by this Section 6.10, and will be administered by the AAA and settled by a single arbitrator. The AAA Rules are available online at adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of these Terms of Service. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including, but not limited to, issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this Section 6.10. Unless Matcherino and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in a reasonably convenient location in the United States for both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, AAA shall determine the location. If your claim is for ten thousand dollars ($10,000) or less, we agree that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds ten thousand dollars ($10,000), the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. All decisions by the arbitrator shall be final and binding and judgment on the award rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

(h) Costs of Arbitration; Legal Fees.

  1. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator costs and expenses imposed by AAA will be governed by the AAA rules, provided that if you are initiating an arbitration against Matcherino and the value of the relief sought is ten thousand dollars ($10,000) or less, then Matcherino will advance all filing, administrative and arbitration costs and expenses imposed by AAA (subject to reimbursement as set forth below). If the circumstances in the preceding sentence apply, but the value of relief sought is more than ten thousand dollars ($10,000) and you demonstrate to the arbitrator that such costs and expenses would be prohibitively more expensive than a court proceeding, then Matcherino will pay the amount of any such costs and expenses that the arbitrator determines are necessary to prevent the arbitration from being prohibitively more expensive than a court proceeding (subject to reimbursement as set forth below). In the event that the arbitrator determines that all of the claims you assert in arbitration are frivolous according to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11, you agree to reimburse Matcherino for all such cost and expenses that Matcherino paid and that you would have been obligated to pay under the AAA rules.
  2. Just as in any court proceeding, each party will initially bear its own attorneys’ fees and expenses in connection with any arbitration. Should either party be determined to have substantially prevailed in the arbitration, then upon such party’s request, the arbitrator shall award such prevailing party the reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses that it incurred in connection with the arbitration, provided that to the extent that the dispute or claim relate to your personal or household use of the Services (rather than business use) Matcherino will not seek to recover its attorneys’ fees and expenses in an arbitration initiated by you. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the reimbursement of attorneys’ fees and expenses upon request from either party made within fourteen (14) days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.

(i) Future Changes.

Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms of Service to the contrary, you and Matcherino agree that if Matcherino makes any future change to this arbitration provision (other than a change to the Notice Address) Matcherino will provide you with notice of such change and you may reject any such change by sending us written notice within thirty (30) calendar days of the change to the Notice Address provided above. By rejecting any future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of this provision as unmodified by such rejected change.

(j) Special Severability.

In the event that the provisions of Section 6.10(e) above are found to be invalid or unenforceable for any dispute or claim, then, notwithstanding Section 6.11, the entirety of this Section 6.10 shall be null and void with respect to such dispute or claim and Section 6.12 shall apply in lieu of this Section 6.10.

(k) Opt Out.

We believe that on a whole this agreement to arbitrate will benefit our Users. However, if you are an existing registered User and you do not wish to accept this agreement to arbitrate with respect to some or all of your accounts registered prior to December 31, 2017 you may opt-out by sending us a written notice to the Notice Address which (i) states you do not agree to this agreement to arbitrate, (ii) includes your name and all email addresses associated with the accounts you wish to opt-out, and (iii) is signed by the individual who owns the account, or in the event the account is held by an entity, an authorized signer for such entity (the “Opt-Out Notice”). The Opt-Out Notice must be received by February 28, 2018 in order to be effective; otherwise this agreement to arbitrate will be effective as of March 1, 2018. For new registered users and existing registered users who register new accounts following December 31, 2017 there is no option to opt-out and this provision will be effective as to such new accounts upon account creation. For unregistered Attendees and other Users, this provision will apply to all future activities on the Services after December 31, 2017. In the event that you opt-out of this agreement to arbitrate as set forth above, Section 6.12 shall apply.

6.11 Waiver; Invalid Provisions.

The failure or delay of Matcherino to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Service shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. No oral waiver, amendment or modification shall be effective under any circumstance whatsoever. If any provision of these Terms of Service is found by an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the arbitrator or court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of these Terms of Service shall remain in full force and effect.

6.12 Judicial Forum.

In the event that the Agreement to Arbitrate above is found not to apply to you or to a particular claim or dispute, either as a result of your decision to opt-out of the Agreement to Arbitrate or for any other reason, then any dispute or claim not subject to arbitration shall be resolved exclusively by a federal court located in King County, WA, and to the extent there is no subject matter jurisdiction in such federal court, then a state court in King County, WA. Both you and Matcherino agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts and agree that such forum is convenient.
