PURCHASE AGREEMENT – NORTH AMERICA
Effective 07.29.2020
AXS provides technology platforms to its clients such as entertainment venues, promoters, and sports teams (our “Clients”) to list, sell, issue and deliver tickets to events using AXS powered websites and mobile applications (the “Service”). This Agreement is incorporated into the Terms of Use and, in addition to the Privacy Policy, the following terms and conditions (this “Agreement”) apply to all listings and transactions on the Service and sale or use of tickets issued via the Service, whether issued by AXS or Clients. Terms and conditions of sites linked to by or from the Service may vary by site.
Please read this Agreement carefully, because it is a contract that affects your legal rights. Any ticket issued via the Service is a revocable license. By using a ticket to enter the event listed on the ticket the holder of the ticket agrees to the terms stated in this Agreement on behalf of themselves and any accompanying minor (collectively “Holder”). The ticket is valid only for the event, date, time, and seat location issued. Holder must possess a ticket to enter the property or venue listed on the ticket.
Who you are Buying Tickets From
AXS acts as a sales agent of its Clients with respect to ticket sales, and therefore “AXS” will apply also to our Client with respect to that Client’s actions, rights, or obligations with respect to the purchase, sale or use of tickets or attendance at an event, and to the Client’s use of the Service to list, sell, issue and deliver tickets. When you buy a ticket listed on the Service as a “resale” ticket, you are buying directly from the seller of that ticket. For tickets to events located in the United States, the Service is operated by AXS Group LLC. For tickets to events located in Canada, the Service is provided by AXS Group Canada.
Tickets are a Revocable License
Please note that both original issuance tickets and tickets that have been previously issued and are later posted on the Service as a resale ticket may be available for sale on the Service, and different terms may apply to each as detailed below. Each ticket that you as Holder purchase, receive (for example, as a subsequent transferee of a prior purchaser) or use issued by the Service, is a revocable license to enter and attend a particular event (whether live or online), or to park at a venue, or to exercise certain other rights associated with an entertainment event for which the Service issues tickets and each such ticket is a contract, subject to this Agreement, and subject to any additional specific terms and conditions imposed by our Client or their designee with respect to the particular ticketed event. Failure to comply shall terminate Holder’s rights hereunder and authorize Client to withdraw the ticket, refuse admission, or eject the Holder, all without refund, and subject Holder to all available legal remedies.
Payment
All ticket prices for events that occur in the United States are stated in U.S. Dollars. All ticket prices for events that occur in Canada are stated in Canadian Dollars. The Service currently accepts various credit cards, debit cards, and digital methods of payment, such as PayPal (each, a “Payment Method”), and Payment Methods accepted on the Service may change over time. You agree to pay all charges incurred by you or any users of your account and Payment Method at the price(s) in effect when such charges are incurred. You will also be responsible for paying any applicable taxes relating to your purchases. In some instances, the sale transaction for the Service may be processed by our Client directly using their own payment processor, and in these cases the charge listed on your statement may list our Client’s or the venue’s name. Ticket purchases must be paid in full at the time of purchase, unless a payment plan is offered and entered into at the time of purchase (for example, if a payment plan is offered for season tickets). UNLESS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY STATED HEREIN OR IN ACCORDANCE WITH ANY TERMS AND CONDITIONS ISSUED BY A CLIENT, ALL PURCHASES ARE NON-REFUNDABLE AND CANNOT BE CANCELED. See below for additional terms and conditions related to your purchase, including those in Event Cancellations/Postponements, below.
Resale of Tickets
Tickets may not be resold or offered for resale in violation of posted restrictions, or in violation of law or regulation. Violation thereof is grounds for revocation, seizure or cancellation without refund. Tickets obtained from unauthorized sources may be invalid, lost, stolen or counterfeit and if so, are void.
Except as otherwise prohibited above, tickets may be resold by Holder using the Service in accordance with our Client’s instructions. AXS is not the seller of Resale tickets and will be acting only on the seller’s behalf when offering Resale tickets on the Service. If you sell or transfer tickets, you are responsible for ensuring that your transactions do not violate any applicable law, or any rules or restrictions placed on the ticket and disclosed to you at the time of purchase. Additionally, you agree to comply with these conditions and all applicable laws, statutes, ordinances and regulations regarding the use of the Service, listing of tickets for sale, solicitation of offers for purchase and the resale of tickets. You also agree that you are responsible, as a seller of tickets, for paying all taxes, if any, associated with your sale of tickets through the Service, and any fees we may impose on sellers related to the sale. AXS complies with any obligation it may have to provide information to tax or other compliance authorities, including with respect to anti-fraud and/or anti-money laundering efforts.
Purchases
Purchases - General
You must supply the required Payment Method and/or other personal information in order to complete your purchase.
Upon your payment in full, you shall be entitled to the tickets you have purchased. Delivery of the tickets shall be made in accordance with the Delivery of Tickets Section below.
If you decide to purchase tickets, merchandise, parking or other items via the Service, you agree to pay, in addition to the price for the tickets or other items, other fees and charges that we impose or collect on behalf of our Clients, or that our Clients collect, such as convenience fees, handling fees, delivery fees and any other miscellaneous fees. You also agree to pay any applicable sales or other taxes, including, but not limited to, any applicable admissions tax.
You are urged to review all pages displayed during your completion of a purchase. All fees and charges relating to your transaction will be disclosed to you during the purchase process. If you do not agree to pay the fees or charges associated with your purchase, you must cancel your transaction prior to completing it. All completed transactions are final, so please be sure that you have selected the proper event, tickets, or other items prior to completing your purchase.
We or the Client have the right to reject or cancel any purchase, including if we suspect fraud or any other issues with payment or suspicious account activity or for other suspected violations of this Agreement or our Terms of Use.
Purchases – Primary Tickets
Unless otherwise stated as part of the purchase, any “primary” tickets (i.e. tickets sold directly by the event organizer, promoter, sports team or venue that puts on the event) (each a “Primary Ticket” and collectively, the “Primary Tickets”) purchased on the Service are typically subject to a per-ticket convenience charge and a per-order handling or processing charge. A per-order delivery fee may also be assessed, depending on the delivery method. In most instances, tickets delivered via mobile delivery to your AXS account will not incur a delivery charge. These fees and charges represent, among other things, the costs we incur in providing our goods and services to you. The fees and charges we assess may be greater than our actual cost of providing those services, and we may retain a portion of all such fees and charges as profit.
In some cases, you may be able to avoid certain charges by purchasing tickets directly from the venue’s box office.
Purchases – Resale Tickets
If you are purchasing a “resale” ticket (i.e. a Primary Ticket that is then resold) (each a “Resale Ticket” and collectively, the “Resale Tickets”), there may be applicable buyer, and/or logistics fees and charges imposed. Such fees and charges may vary. All applicable fees and charges will be disclosed prior to completion of your purchase. We reserve the right to increase or decrease these fees at any time without advance notice for future transactions.
If you are purchasing a Resale Ticket, you will be entering into a contract with the seller of the Resale Ticket for the sale and transfer of the Resale Ticket to you.
We do not review, nor do we warrant or guarantee, the accuracy of any information provided by Resale Ticket. You should base your purchase decision solely on the information provided.
You are solely responsible for making a purchase, based on the information provided on our Service. We do not have any legal authority to complete a purchase on your behalf, and do not act as your agent. By providing payment details and choosing to complete the checkout process on our Service, you are agreeing for us to debit or authorize payment for the transaction via the Payment Method provided.
Sales
Sales – General
You are prohibited from selling or offering for sale your tickets where such prohibition was disclosed prior to completion of your purchase. Any sale or offer for sale of your tickets, whether using the Service or another publicly-available marketplace, when the applicable ticket(s) were sold with a resale restriction, may result in any or all of the following: (i) cancellation of the transfer or sale transaction conducted on our Service; (ii) a charge of our sales fee (described below), calculated with respect to the full sales price of such ticket(s) sold or transferred, assessed against the seller/transferor of such ticket(s) (such sales fee will be charged to the Payment Method on file for the seller/transferor, typically within twenty-four (24) hours after we provide notice of the assessment of such charge to such person via email); (iii) revocation of the seller/transferor’s rights to use the Service and any or all of our other services; and (iv) revocation of such sold or transferred ticket(s) by the Client.
Seller fees on the Service may vary. Please consult the seller fee information found within our Service. Our sales fee will be assessed against you as the seller of any ticket(s) that are sold or offered for sale, as well as any taxes that may apply, both of which will be deducted from the transaction amount due to you. At the time of the sale, you will receive an email confirmation showing your net proceeds from the sale, and information on how the proceeds due to you from any sale transaction will be made available to you.
We may also impose fees and charges payable by the buyer, which will be disclosed to the buyer during the purchase process. You, as seller, consent to AXS receiving and retaining payment in respect of such fees and charges from the buyer, and you acknowledge that you will not be entitled to such fees and charges.
Sales – Primary
We act on behalf of a seller (our Client) when selling Primary tickets. This means that our Clients have given us authority to conclude a sale of tickets to a buyer for the tickets that they have chosen to list for sale.
On receipt by us of payment from you, we will transfer the tickets to you, subject to this Agreement, our Terms of Use and any specific terms and conditions of our Client.
Sales – Resale
We act on your behalf, as seller, when listing or reselling tickets. This means that you agree that we will have authority to conclude a sale of your tickets to a buyer on your behalf once you have told us to list the corresponding tickets for resale. You will also be entering into a separate contract with the buyer, allowing us to transfer your tickets and the corresponding tickets to them.
The proceeds from Resale Ticket transactions may not be immediately available for disbursement and AXS may delay the disbursement until the associated event has occurred.
Finally, as a seller of tickets, you agree never to specify or include any of the following in connection with a listing on our Service:
Transfers
Generally, tickets can be transferred via mobile delivery from your AXS account to another person, unless our Client has prohibited transfer or resale and disclosed such prohibition during the checkout process on our Service, prior to completion of purchase. If transfer of tickets is permitted, there is no associated fee unless disclosed on the Service at the time of transfer, in which case fees will be charged to the relevant Payment Method on file.
General Limitations
All scheduled actions including, but not limited to, purchases and listing expirations will be processed approximately at the date and time specified as indicated by the Service’s system clock. You acknowledge and accept that actual processing time may vary by seconds or in unusual cases, by minutes, from the exact time specified.
The Service will automatically complete a sale if it receives any valid offer to purchase for any listing that remains in effect and available for purchase. Listings will be deemed to be in effect from the time the Service processes the listing action until the earlier of (i) the time the Service processes the expiration or withdrawal of the listing or (ii) the time the System completes the processing of a retraction action for that listing. Listings are not considered retracted until they have been processed and a system confirmation has been issued.
Limitations on Transfer or Resale
Your ability and/or right to transfer or resell tickets may vary. Any restrictions on transfer or resale will be communicated to you (e.g. in the event description page, in pop-up boxes, or in an email).
Right to Cancel Transaction
In certain circumstances, we have the right to cancel a transaction without notice and return the tickets to our Client or to the person who held the tickets prior to the completion of the transaction. Such circumstances include, but are not limited to, the following:
In these instances and as part of the cancellation of any transaction, AXS reserves the right to remove any relevant sales proceeds from the Resale Ticket seller’s AXS account, process a reversal of a prior funds transfer made to the seller or charge the Payment Method on file for such seller and/or cancel a pending transaction, whether for Resale Tickets or Primary Tickets.
Charges to your Payment Method
If you feel that a charge has been made to your Payment Method in error, call our helpline or email our customer service department at [email protected].
Helpline
Our helpline number is 1-888-929-7849. Our helpline allows current and potential customers to manage/set-up their account information in any way that is permitted by the Service. To access our helpline services, current customers must provide specific personally identifiable information that matches the current information in the account.
Right to Act on Instructions by Others
We and designated personnel of the applicable Client are authorized to perform any action on your behalf that you could otherwise perform if instructed by someone in possession of your account authorization information. You agree that we may perform these actions, including, but not limited to, addition or correction of account profile information, addition of additional forms of electronic identification to your account, transferring tickets to others, listing tickets for sale, and/or purchasing tickets.
Refunds and Exchanges
Please review your tickets carefully, including date and location of the event and your seat selection, before completing your transaction. Unless otherwise stated in our terms, tickets cannot be exchanged or refunded even if lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed, and fees cannot be refunded.
Event Cancellations/Postponements
Events may be postponed or canceled for a variety of reasons. If you hold tickets to an event that is postponed or canceled, we encourage you to check on the Service website for updated event information, or to directly contact the venue or event organizer to obtain information about postponed dates of the event and whether there is an applicable refund. Refund policies of our Clients may vary; by purchasing a ticket, you agree to the refund policy of the associated Client. Although our Clients decide the refund policies, and AXS will follow their instructions with regard to refunds, please note the following:
Limits on Tickets per Customer
In an effort to give all interested customers an opportunity to purchase tickets to an event or other items via the Service, our Clients often set limits on the number of seating and/or parking rights, or tickets one customer or household is allowed to purchase. You will be advised of any such limits during the purchase process, or by a system limitation on the number of tickets you may purchase during your online session. Tickets purchased for an event during multiple online sessions on the Service may be totaled to ensure that any limitations imposed by the Client is not exceeded. Exceeding these limits may result in cancellation of orders without notice.
Availability of Tickets
The availability of tickets is subject to change. We act as a sales agent for our Client. Tickets for events may be sold through distribution points other than the Service, such as the venue or event organizer itself, which may have access to different tickets than are available on the Service. We do not control the number of tickets and/or other items sold on the Service or the location of seats or parking spaces that are made available for purchase. Our Clients may potentially release additional tickets during presale, onsale, or any other time up to the day of the event. Tickets and/or parking rights are also "locked" (not available) for a short time while customers complete their purchase. If a customer does not complete their purchase, previously locked tickets and/or parking rights are released and made available for purchase. For these reasons and others, the tickets and/or parking rights available for a given event can and do change rapidly. If you are unable to find tickets or parking rights, please check back again. Once your purchase has been completed, we will not exchange or refund your order, even if additional tickets or parking rights become available at a later date.
Pricing and Other Errors
If the amount that you pay for a ticket is obviously incorrect, regardless of whether it is an error in a price posted on the Service or otherwise communicated to you, or if you are able to order tickets before their scheduled on-sale date, then we reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to cancel your order and refund to you the amount that you paid. This policy will apply regardless of how the error occurred.
Venue/Event Specific Terms and Conditions
By purchasing or accepting tickets to an event or other item on the Service, you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions and other rules of our specific Client and the venue where the specific event is being held. Links to event and venue terms and conditions that are specific to such events or at such venues may be included within your purchase confirmation, ticket delivery or event reminder emails, or made available on each event and venue’s branded area on our Service, or made available on the applicable Client’s website. We recommend that you review the official terms and conditions and other rules of each event and venue to which you hold tickets. Holder also understands that at an event, the Holder assumes and bears all risks of inclement weather or force majeure events (including injury or cancellation). During the event, strobe or theatrical lighting may be used. Event date, time, talent, participants and rosters are subject to change without notice.
Delivery of Tickets
Your tickets will be delivered to you as indicated at the time of purchase, most frequently via mobile delivery to your AXS account. Certain events may have restricted delivery options, as well as delayed delivery windows (for example, tickets for online events will typically be delivered to your AXS account immediately following purchase), and tickets for certain live events may not be delivered until a date closer to the event). AXS is not able to specify the exact date of delivery for each event, so please allow as much time as possible for your tickets to arrive. Shipping information, if any, is provided at checkout. If tickets are mailed, they will be sent to the address provided by the purchaser at the time of purchase. AXS is not responsible for failure of delivery or any losses incurred as a result of a purchaser’s failure to provide an accurate address. If you have not received your tickets five (5) days before the event for which you purchased, please contact us at [email protected] or 1-888-929-7849.
There may be circumstances in which we make your tickets available for your collection at the box office of the venue at which the event will be held. We will notify you by email if this box office collection is required. In order to collect your tickets at the box office, you will be asked for order confirmation, proof of identity and the Payment Method used for the transaction. If you are unable to provide this information, the box office may refuse to provide your tickets to you, and we will not be responsible for your inability to enter the event.
Information You Provide to Us
By using the Service, you agree to the Privacy Policy and Terms of Use. All information provided through the Service will be managed and processed in accordance with the Privacy Policy. Verification of information may be required prior to the acknowledgment or completion of any purchase.
Compliance with Laws
You understand that you must comply with all applicable laws associated with the sale or purchase of tickets or the use of the Service, and for complying with all applicable ticket resale laws. Unlawful resale (or attempted resale), counterfeit or copy of tickets is grounds for seizure and cancellation without compensation. Certain maximum resale premiums and restrictions may apply in some states and you understand that complying with laws is your responsibility and we are not responsible for providing legal advice regarding resale or pricing of tickets. In addition, we reserve the right to restrict or deny ticket purchasing privileges to anyone that we determine to be, or has been, in violation of our policies. Because we do not guarantee the authenticity of tickets purchased from any non-authorized third-party reseller (such as brokers or individuals), we recommend that you purchase tickets directly through AXS, our Client, authorized partners or from the venue box office to ensure ticket authenticity.
You agree not to hold us liable for your failure to comply with any law or our failure to notify you of, or properly apply, any law. We will comply with law enforcement requests and may provide them with all information you submit to us to assist in any investigation or prosecution they may conduct (without providing notice to you, unless otherwise required by law). Remember, in order to prevent ticket misuse or to comply with any applicable requirements such as related to the ADA, our Client may at their discretion require the person purchasing tickets to be the person that uses the ticket, and therefore may require verification of identity at entry.
Information/Services We Provide to You
We reserve the right, without prior notification, to change any content on our Service; to honor, or impose conditions on the honoring of, any coupon, coupon code, promotional code or other similar promotions; to terminate, suspend any or limit any user’s ability to make purchases through the Service. Price and availability of any ticket, product or service on the Service are subject to change without notice.
Order Confirmation
AXS or the Client may send a summary of your purchase to the email address you provided to our Service. You should receive a confirmation after concluding your transaction. If you do not receive a confirmation, if you receive an error message, or if you discover an error in the information provided, contact customer service immediately at [email protected] to ensure your transaction was completed and that your information is correct. The Service cannot be responsible for transactions that were not completed or for assumptions that a transaction was completed even though you did not receive a confirmation.
Please note that orders are processed only after a billing address and other billing information has been verified. Occasionally, we receive incorrect billing or Payment Method information for an order that can delay processing and delivery. In these cases, customer service will attempt to contact you, using the information we have on file. If customer service is unable to reach you after its initial attempt, the Service may cancel your order and release your tickets or Rights without further notice to you. Information sent to the email address you provide will be deemed to be delivered to you, regardless whether you check your email, provide an incorrect address, or if the message is marked as “junk” or “spam.”
Assumption of Risk, Waiver & Limitation of Liability
In addition to the limitations set forth in the Terms of Use, which include a mandatory arbitration provision and a class action waiver provision, the following limitations of liability apply to any purchase or sale you make through the Service and any use of a ticket issued by the Service. By entering the venue for the event, each Holder agrees to the following:
Attendance Restrictions
