Terms of Services

Last Updated: July 31, 2022 Welcome to Edmission! We know as event presenters and consumers you want your events to run safely and smoothly. We want the same thing for our platform. We’re excited you are here. Please read these Terms of Service (or Terms, as further described in Section 1.4) carefully as they contain important information about your legal rights, remedies and obligations. By accessing Edmission’s Website, referred below as the “Website” or using Edmission’s Services, referred below as “Services”, you agree to comply with and be bound by these Terms, as applicable to you.

NOTE: IMPORTANT NOTICE: SECTION 9 OF THESE TERMS OF SERVICE CONTAINS A BINDING ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER THAT MAY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. PLEASE READ SECTION 9 VERY CAREFULLY.

1. Accepting These Terms

1.1 What’s What. Edmission’s products, features and offerings are available
 
Events, other products, and general access that you may or may not purchase on Edmission’s website are collectively referred to as “Edmission Events” or our “Services”. These Terms apply to any Site(s) on which they are posted; where other terms or agreements are instead posted, those terms or agreements apply to the extent they conflict with these Terms. The material, including without limitation information, data, text, editorial content, design elements, look and feel, formatting, graphics, images, photographs, videos, music, sounds and other content contained in or delivered via the Services or otherwise made available by Edmission in connection with the Services is the “Site Content” (or “Content”). Any material (including the foregoing categories) that you contribute, provide, post or make available using the Services is “Your Content.”
 

1.2 Who’s Who. When these Terms use the term “Presenter,” we mean event creators using the Listings to create events for consumers using Listings (a) to consume information about or attend Events (“Consumers”), or (b) for any other reason. Presenters, Consumers and third parties using our Listings are all referred to in these Terms collectively as “Users,” “you” or “your.”

When these Terms use the term “Edmission,” “we,” “us,” or “our,” that refers to Edmission, Ltd. and its affiliates, and subsidiaries, and each of its and their respective officers, directors, agents, partners and employees.

1.3 What the “Terms of Service” Means. These Terms of Service and the other documents referenced in them (including in Section 1.3 above) comprise Edmission’s “Terms.” These Terms are a legally binding agreement between you and Edmission governing your access to and use of our Services and setting out your rights and responsibilities when you use our Services. By using our Services, you are agreeing to these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use or access the Services. If you will be using the Services on behalf of an entity (such as on behalf of your employer), you agree to these Terms on behalf of that entity and its affiliates and you represent that you have the authority to do so. In such case, “you” and “your” will refer to that entity as well as yourself.

2. Edmission’s Services and Role

2.1 What We Do. Edmission provides a simple and quick means for Presenters to create speaker profiles and other webpages related to their events, promote those pages and events to visitors or browsers on the Listings. Descriptions of other and more specific events can generally be found on the Site of each of the Edmission Events.

2.2 How We Fit In. Edmission is not the creator, organizer or owner of the events listed on the Services. Rather, Edmission provides its Listings, which allow Presenters to manage ticketing and registration and promote their events. The Presenter is solely responsible for ensuring that any page displaying an event on the Website (and the event itself) meet all applicable local, state, provincial, national and other laws, rules and regulations, and that the goods and services described on the event page are delivered as described and in an accurate satisfactory manner. If an Presenter uses Edmission Payment Processing (as defined in the Merchant Agreement), Edmission also acts as the Presenter’s limited agent solely for the purpose of using our third party payment service providers to collect payments made by Consumers on the Website and passing such payments to the Presenter.

3. Privacy and Consumer Information

3.1 We know your personal information is important to you and it is important to Edmission too. Information provided to Edmission by Users or collected by Edmission through Edmission Wesite, is governed by our Privacy Policy.

3.2 If you are a Presenter, you represent, warrant and agree that (a) you will at all times comply with all applicable local, state, provincial, national and other laws, rules and regulations with respect to information you collect from (or receive about) consumers, and (b) you will at all times comply with any applicable policies posted on the Services with respect to information you collect from (or receive about) consumers.

4. Term; Termination

4.1 These Terms apply to you as soon as you access the Website by any means and continue in effect until they are terminated. There may come a time where either you or Edmission decides it’s best to part ways as described in Sections 4.2 or 4.3 below. When that happens, these Terms will generally no longer apply. However, as described in Section 4.4, certain provisions will always remain applicable to both you and Edmission.

4.2 Edmission may terminate your right to use the Services at any time
 

1. if you violate or breach these Terms;
2. if you misuse or abuse the Services, or use the Services/ Website in a way not intended or permitted by Edmission; or
3. if allowing you to access and use the Services would violate any applicable local, state, provincial, national and other laws, rules and regulations or would expose Edmission to legal liability.

Edmission may choose to stop offering the Services, or any particular portion of the Service, or modify or replace any aspect of the Service, at any time. We will use reasonable efforts to provide you with notice of our termination of your access to the Services, where, in Edmission’s sole discretion, failure to do so would materially prejudice you. You agree that Edmission will not be liable to you or any third-party as a result of its termination of your right to use or otherwise access the Services.

4.3 Except to the extent you have agreed otherwise in a separate written agreement between you and Edmission, you may terminate your access to the Services and the general applicability of Terms by deleting your account. If you are a Consumer using the Services without a registered account, your only option for these Terms to no longer apply is to stop accessing the Services indefinitely. So long as you continue to access the Services, even without an account, these Terms remain in effect. If there is a separate agreement between you and Edmission governing your use of the Services and that agreement terminates or expires, these Terms (as unmodified by such agreement) will govern your use of the Services after such termination or expiration.

4.4 All provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination of these Terms will survive (including, without limitation, all limitations on liability, releases, indemnification obligations, disclaimers of warranties, agreements to arbitrate, choices of law and judicial forum and intellectual property protections and licences).

5. Release and Indemnification

This is where you agree to cover Edmission if you use the Services in a way that causes Edmission to be the subject of a legal matter, or to face other claims or expenses, or as otherwise set forth herein, to the extent permitted by applicable laws.

5.1 Release. You hereby agree to release Edmission 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 a dispute between you and a third party (including other Users) in connection with the Services or any event listed on the Website. In addition, you waive any applicable law or statute, which says, in substance: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE RELEASED PARTY.”

5.2 Indemnification. You agree to defend, indemnify and hold Edmission and each of its and their respective officers, directors, agents, co-branders, licensors, payment processing partners, other partners and employees, harmless from any and all damage (whether direct, indirect, incidental, consequential or otherwise), loss, liability, cost and expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and accounting fees) resulting from any claim, demand, suit, proceeding (whether before an arbitrator, court, mediator or otherwise) or investigation made by any third party (each a “Claim”) relating to or arising out of:
 

1. your breach of these Terms (including any terms or agreements or policies incorporated into these Terms);
2. your use of the Services in violation of these Terms or other policies we post or make available;
3. your breach of any applicable local, state, provincial, national or other law, rule or regulation or the rights of any third party;
4. Edmission’s collection and remission of taxes; and
5. if you are an Presenter, your events (including where Edmission has provided Services with respect to those events), provided that in the case of (e) this indemnification will not apply to the extent that the Claim arises out of Edmission’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Edmission will provide notice to you of any such Claim, provided that the failure or delay by Edmission in providing such notice will not limit your obligations hereunder except to the extent you are materially prejudiced by such failure. Also, in certain circumstances, Edmission may choose to handle the Claim ourselves, in which case you agree to cooperate with Edmission in any way we request.

6. Disclaimer of Warranties and Assumption of Risks by You

We strive to provide Services in the way you need them, but there are some things it is important for you to understand that we cannot promise.

To the extent permitted by applicable laws, the Services are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. Edmission expressly disclaims all warranties of any kind, express or implied, including, but not limited to, implied warranties of merchantability, title, non-infringement and fitness for a particular purpose. For example, Edmission makes no warranty that
 

1. the Services (or any portion of the Services) will meet your requirements or expectations;
2. the Services will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free; or
3. the results that may be obtained from the use of the Services will be accurate or reliable.

You acknowledge that Edmission has no control over and does not guarantee the quality, safety, accuracy or legality of any event or Content associated with an event, the truth or accuracy of any information provided by Users (including the Consumer’s personal information shared with Presenters in connection with events) or the ability of any User to perform or actually complete a transaction. Edmission has no responsibility to you for, and hereby disclaims all liability arising from, the acts or omissions of any third parties that Edmission requires to provide the Services, that an Presenter chooses to assist with an event, or that you choose to contract with when using the Services.

You understand and agree that some events may carry inherent risk, and by participating in those events, you choose to assume those risks voluntarily. For example, some events may carry risk of illness, bodily injury, disability, or death, and you freely and willfully assume those risks by choosing to participate in those events.

The foregoing disclaimers apply to the maximum extent permitted by law. You may have other statutory rights. However, the duration of statutorily required warranties, if any, will be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

7. Limitation of Liability

7.1 To the extent permitted by applicable laws, or as otherwise set forth herein, Edmission and any person or entity associated with Edmission’s provision of the Services (e.g., an affiliate, vendor, strategic partner or employee) (“Associated Parties”), will not be liable to you or any third party, for:
 

1. any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive or exemplary damages, including, but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data, opportunity costs, intangible losses, or the cost of substitute services (even if Edmission has been advised of the possibility of such damages); or
2. Your Content. In addition, other than the obligation of Edmission to pay out Event Registration Fees in certain circumstances to certain Presenters under the Merchant Agreement, and only in accordance with the terms therein, the maximum aggregate liability of Edmission or Associated Parties is limited to the following:
   1. for Presenters of events with paid tickets, and subject to the terms of the Merchant Agreement, the fees (net of Edmission Payment Processing Fees) that you paid us in the three (3) month period immediately preceding the circumstances giving rise to your claim; and
   2. for Presenters of events with free tickets only, Consumers or other Users, (1) the total amount of all tickets or registrations that you purchased or made through the Services in the three (3) month period immediately preceding the circumstances giving rise to your claim; or (2) if you made no such purchases, one hundred U.S. dollars (HKD $500).

7.2 Nothing in these Terms is intended to exclude or limit any condition, warranty, right or liability which may not be lawfully excluded or limited. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or conditions or the limitation or exclusion of liability for loss or damage caused by willful acts, negligence, breach of contract or breach of implied terms, or incidental or consequential damages. Accordingly, only those liability and other limitations which are lawful in your jurisdiction (if any) will apply to you and our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

8. IMPORTANT: BINDING ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER PROVISIONS.

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY AS IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS. ANY DISPUTE OR CLAIM UNDER THESE TERMS 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; YOU AGREE THAT CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE ARBITRATIONS AND CIVIL ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED AND ANY RIGHTS TO BRING SUCH ACTIONS ARE WAIVED BY EACH PARTY.

The parties understand that, absent this mandatory provision, they would have the right to sue in court. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.

(a) Contact Us First.
If you have a question or concern about the Services, please contact us first. 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, the parties (you and we) each hereby agree to resolve any and all disputes or claims under these Terms, with respect to the Services, or related to our relationship 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. In no event may either we or you seek to resolve a dispute with the other as part of any purported class, consolidated or representative proceeding. Binding arbitration is subject to very limited review. Only the arbitrator appointed pursuant to this Section, and not any federal, state or local court will have the authority to resolve any dispute or claim relating to this Section including, without limitation, regarding the scope, enforceability and arbitrability of these Terms. This arbitration provision will survive termination of these Terms. These Terms evidence a transaction in interstate commerce and the interpretation and enforcement of this Section 9 is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, notwithstanding the choice of law set forth in Section 9(h) below.

(c) Scope of Agreement.
This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted as to legal disputes between you and us. 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 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); or (ii) bring enforcement actions, validity determinations or claims arising from or relating to theft, piracy or unauthorized use of intellectual property in state or federal court in the U.S. Patent or Trademark Office to protect its Intellectual Property Rights (“Intellectual Property Rights” means patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets, but not privacy or publicity rights). In addition, the portion of any dispute or complaint relating to our privacy policy is subject to this Section.

(e) No Class Actions.
YOU AND EDMISSION 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

(f). Payment of Legal Fees. 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 will 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) Edmission 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.

(g) Future Changes.
Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms to the contrary, you and Edmission agree that if Edmission makes any future change to this arbitration provision (other than a change to the Notice Address) Edmission 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.

(h) Special Severability.
In the event that any provisions of this Section 8 are found to be invalid or unenforceable for any dispute or claim, then, the entirety of this Section 8 will be null and void with respect to such dispute or claim and Section 22 will apply in lieu of this Section 8.

(i) Opt Out.
You have the right to opt out and not be bound by the arbitration or class action waiver provisions set forth above by sending (from the email address we associate with you as a User) written notice of your decision to opt-out to jay@edmission.co, with the subject line, “ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER OPT-OUT.” The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of your first use of the Services or your agreement to these Terms (whichever is later); otherwise, you will be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of those paragraphs. Note that if you opt out of these arbitration provisions, Edmission also will not be bound by them.

9. License to the Edmission Services

9.1 License to Services. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable (except to sub-Users registered via the Services), revocable right to use our Services solely to
 

1. browse the Services and search for, view, register for or purchase tickets or registrations to an event listed on the Services; and/or
2. create event registration, Presenter profile and other webpages to promote, market, manage, track, and collect sales proceeds for an event.

Your use of the Services must be in compliance with these Terms and in compliance with all applicable local, state, provincial, national and other laws, rules and regulations.

9.2 Restrictions on Your License. Without limitations on other restrictions, limitations and prohibitions that we impose (in these Terms or elsewhere), you agree you will not directly or indirectly
 

1. copy, modify, reproduce, translate, localize, port or otherwise create derivatives of any part of the Services;
2. 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;
3. rent, lease, resell, distribute, use the Services for other commercial purposes not contemplated or otherwise exploit the Services in any unauthorized manner;
4. remove or alter any proprietary notices on the Services; or (e) engage in any activity that interferes with or disrupts the Services.

9.3 Our Intellectual Property and Copyrights. You agree that all Site Content may be protected by copyrights, trademarks, service marks, trade secrets or other intellectual property and other proprietary rights and laws. Edmission may own the Site Content or portions of the Site Content may be made available to Edmission through arrangements with third parties. Site Content included in or made available through the Services is the exclusive property of Edmission and is protected by copyright laws. You agree to use the Site Content only for purposes that are permitted by these Terms and any applicable local, state, provincial, national or other law, rule or regulation. Any rights not expressly granted herein are reserved.

9.4 Trademarks. The trademarks, service marks and logos of Edmission (the “Edmission Trademarks”) used and displayed in connection with the Services are registered and unregistered trademarks or service marks of Edmission. Other company, product and service names used in connection with the Services may be trademarks or service marks owned by third parties (the “Third Party Trademarks,” and, collectively with Edmission Trademarks, the “Trademarks”). The offering of the Services will not be construed as granting, by implication, estoppel, or otherwise, any licence or right to use any Trademark displayed in connection with the Services without the prior written consent of Edmission specific for each such use. The Trademarks may not be used to disparage Edmission, any third party or Edmission’s or such third party’s products or services, or in any manner that may damage any goodwill in the Trademarks. Use of any Trademarks as part of a link to or from any site is prohibited unless Edmission approves the establishment of such a link by prior written consent specific for each such link. All goodwill generated from the use of any Edmission Trademark will inure to Edmission’s benefit. A number of issued patents and patents pending apply to the Services. Site Content may also be protected by copyrights owned by Edmission and/or third parties. Please note that if you copy portions of the Services you are violating these patent rights and copyrights.

9.5 Use of Sub-domains. Edmission may provide you with the right to use a sub-domain within the Site (e.g., [sub-domain prefix].Edmission.co) for a given event. All such sub-domains are the sole property of Edmission and we reserve the right to determine the appearance, design, functionality and all other aspects of such sub-domains. In the event Edmission 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, including without limitation, these Terms of Service. If Edmission terminates your right to use a sub-domain for any other reason, it will provide you with a new sub-domain.

10. Licenses and Permits Presenters Must Obtain

If you are an Presenter, without limiting the generality of any representations or warranties provided elsewhere in these Terms of Service, you represent and warrant to us that:

(a) You and your affiliates will obtain, prior to the start of ticket sales, all applicable licenses, permits, and authorizations (individually and collectively, “Licensure”) with respect to events hosted by you or your affiliates on the Services. Licensure includes but is not limited to property operation permits and fire marshal permits;

(b) You and your affiliates will comply, and will ensure that the venues for each event hosted by you or your affiliates on the Services will comply, with all applicable laws, regulations, rules and ordinances;

(c) You will only request that Edmission offer tickets to an event after you have obtained any specific Licensures for such event, including, but not limited to, any state, county, municipal or other local authority’s authorization of the event, traffic engineering authorizations, fire department inspection reports, authorization to receive minors (if applicable), sanitary authorization (if applicable), and any other potential applicable authorization; and (d) you and your affiliates will maintain in force throughout the term of access to the Service the applicable Licensure for Presenter to promote, produce, sponsor host and sell tickets for all events hosted by you or your affiliates on the Services

(d) Without limiting the generality of any release provided under these Terms of Service, as a material inducement to Edmission permitting you to access and use the Services, you hereby agree to release Edmission, and its affiliates and subsidiaries, and each of its and their respective parent companies, subsidiaries, officers, affiliates, representatives, shareholders, contractors, 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, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with your or your affiliates’ Licensure, any failure to obtain or maintain any Licensure, or any error in obtaining or maintaining any Licensure.

(e) Without limiting your indemnification obligations elsewhere under these Terms of Service, you agree to defend, indemnify and hold Edmission, and its affiliates and subsidiaries, and each of its and their respective officers, directors, agents, co-branders, licensors, payment processing partners, other partners and employees, harmless from any and all damage (whether direct, indirect, incidental, consequential or otherwise), loss, liability, cost and expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and accounting fees) resulting from any Claim due to or arising out of your or your affiliates’ Licensure, any failure to obtain or maintain any Licensure, or any error in obtaining or maintaining any Licensure. You agree to provide evidence of Licensure and related information prior to offering tickets or registrations for events on the Site and promptly upon the reasonable request of Edmission from time to time.

11. Your Rights to Submit a Copyright Takedown Notice

If you are a copyright owner or an agent of a copyright owner and you believe that any content on the Sites infringes your copyrights, you may submit a notice here.

12. Scraping or Commercial Use of Site Content is Prohibited

The Site Content is not intended for your commercial use. You have no right to use, and agree not to use, any Site Content for your own commercial purposes. You have no right to, and agree not to scrape, crawl, or employ any automated means to extract data from the Site(s).

13. Fees and Refunds.

13.1 Fees That We Charge. Creating an account, listing an event and accessing the Services are free. However, we charge fees when presenters sell tickets or registrations. These fees may vary based on individual agreements between Edmission and certain Presenters. The fees charged to Consumers may include certain other charges, including without limitation, facility fees, royalties, taxes, processing fees and fulfillment fees. Therefore, the fees paid by Consumers for an event are not necessarily the same as those charged by Edmission to the applicable Presenter or the standard fees described on the Services to Presenters. In addition, certain fees are meant, on average, to defray certain costs incurred by Edmission, but may in some cases include an element of profit and in some cases include an element of loss. Edmission 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.

13.2 Ticket Transfers. If you wish to transfer tickets to an event you have purchased on Edmission, in some instances Edmission may be able to accommodate this for you. In all other instances, please contact the Presenter of the event to arrange for ticket transfer. If you are unable to reach the Presenter, or the Presenter is unable to arrange a ticket transfer, please contact us.

(a) If you are a Consumer, you acknowledge that should you receive a refund for your ticket, you will discard any ticket that we or any Presenter has delivered, and will not use it (or any copy of it) to attend the event. Violation of the foregoing constitutes fraud. You acknowledge that the applicable procedure to check the validity of the ticket must always be followed. Edmission will not be held liable under any circumstances for any costs arisen from non-compliance by Presenters with applicable procedures that must be implemented by Presenters to check validity of tickets. Edmission will not be held liable under any circumstances for costs and/or damage associated with tickets arisen from situations with fraud and/or for damage associated with the purchase of the ticket through non-official means, such as third parties.

(b) If you are a Presenter, you acknowledge that the applicable procedure to check the validity of the ticket must always be followed. Edmission will not be held liable under any circumstances for any costs arisen from non-compliance by Presenters with applicable procedures that must be implemented by Presenters to check validity of tickets. Edmission will not be held liable under any circumstances for costs and/or damage associated with tickets arisen from situations with fraud and/or for damage associated with the purchase of the ticket through non-official means, such as third parties.

14. Your Account with Edmission

We may require you to create an account to access certain features or functions of the Website. You agree to follow certain rules when you create an account with Edmission or use the Services, including the following:

• You must be at least 18 years of age, or the legal age of majority where you reside, to use the Services. If you are 13 or older, you may only use the Services under the supervisions of a parent or legal guardian who manages your use and/or account. However, if you are under 13, please do not provide us with any information about yourself.
• You agree to provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself, or if you are using the Services on behalf of an entity, the entity (the “Registration Data”). You also agree to update this Registration Data if it changes.
• If there is a dispute between two or more persons or entities as to account ownership, Edmission will be the sole arbiter of that dispute and Edmission’s decision (which may include termination or suspension of the account) will be final and binding on those parties.
• If you are using the Services on behalf of a company or other entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to legally bind that entity and grant Edmission all permissions and licenses provided in these Terms.
• We may provide you the ability to implement certain permission within your account to third parties including, “sub-users,” “sub-accounts,” or other credentialed account users. If we do so, you agree that you are solely responsible for all activity that occurs under your account (including actions by sub-users), so you must maintain the confidentiality of your password and account details. You likewise agree that all rules applicable to your account will apply to all third parties to whom you grant access to your account.
• You agree to immediately notify Edmission of any unauthorized use of your password or account or any other breach of security. You are responsible for (and we will hold you responsible for) any activities that occur under your account.

15. Our Community Guidelines

You agree to abide by the Edmission Community Guidelines whenever you use or access our Services. Please read these carefully, as they affect what types of content and conduct are permitted on and through the Edmission Services.
