You may not publish or promote Events on behalf of third parties without our prior written consent.

You are solely responsible for managing and controlling which Users are authorized to act as Organizer app users for your Events and may grant, limit, or revoke such permissions at any time through the Event Services. When a User’s scanning and/or selling permissions are removed, that User will no longer be authorized to access these functionalities for your applicable Events.

You are solely responsible for ensuring that only trusted and appropriately authorized individuals are granted ticket scanning and/or selling as well as Event access-management permissions and for all actions, omissions, access, validations, admissions, denials, check-ins, scans, and other activities performed by Ticket Scanners acting on their behalf.

The Event Services may also allow authorized Organizer App users to accept in-person payments using tap-to-pay or similar contactless payment functionality on supported devices, including payments for tickets, admission, or other goods and services offered at your Events (such as merchandise, food and beverage, or other on-site sales). All such payments are processed through the Payment Processor and are subject to this Organizer Agreement, including the provisions governing Event Ticketing, Refunds, and Payment Disputes. You are solely responsible for all tap-to-pay transactions initiated by your authorized users, including ensuring that only trusted individuals are granted selling permissions, that devices used for tap-to-pay are secure and used in compliance with the Payment Processor's requirements, and for any errors, misuse, or unauthorized transactions by your authorized users. You are solely responsible for the goods and services sold at your Events, including their legality, quality, delivery, and any required licenses or permits (such as alcohol or food service permits).

The Event Services may allow you to create invite-only or restricted-access Events, including Events that use application-based access controls, membership programs, waitlists, invitation workflows, or similar gating features (collectively, “Membership Events”), including through widgets or embedded functionality made available by Gaytherings. Where enabled, Membership Events may allow you to:

• collect and review applications or requests for access to Events;

• approve, deny, or revoke access to Events or related communities;

• issue invitation codes or direct invitations to Users; and

Gaytherings may suspend, restrict, or remove access to Membership Events at any time if we determine, in our discretion, that their use may violate applicable law, this Organizer Agreement, the Terms of Service, the Event Guidelines, or otherwise create risk or liability.

7. Event Insurance

You are responsible for the operation of your Events, including ensuring the safety of Attendees and compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. You represent and warrant that you have obtained and will maintain any insurance coverage reasonably appropriate for your Events, including, where applicable, commercial general liability insurance. Gaytherings may require you to provide proof of insurance for certain Events, including Events that involve elevated risk, large attendance, or other factors determined by Gaytherings in its discretion. For certain Events, Gaytherings may require that it be named as an additional insured on your applicable insurance policies. You agree to comply with any such requirement as a condition of using the Event Services for those Events.

8. Organizer-Specific Terms

You may set the prices and terms and conditions applicable to your Events (“Organizer-Specific Terms”), including policies related to refunds, cancellations, and rescheduling. We may require you to provide certain information when creating an Event (“Required Terms”), including, without limitation, price, refund policies, and cancellation or rescheduling terms. Required Terms will be made available to Users, and you may not publish an Event without providing all Required Terms. We may modify, remove, or add Required Terms at any time.

You are responsible for your Organizer-Specific Terms and for ensuring that they comply with all applicable laws. As merchant of record, Gaytherings is a party to the ticket sale transaction with the Attendee. However, the Event itself, including admission, the Event experience, and delivery of the Event as advertised, is provided solely by you, and any agreement regarding the Event (including your Organizer-Specific Terms) is between you and the applicable Attendee. Gaytherings is not a party to your Organizer-Specific Terms and is not responsible for your performance of the Event.

Your use of the Payment Processor is subject to its applicable terms, including the Stripe Connected Account Agreement (https://stripe.com/legal/connect-account), and any related policies. You acknowledge that Gaytherings is not a party to any agreement between you and the Payment Processor and is not responsible for any acts or omissions of the Payment Processor, including any delays, holds, errors, or account actions.

You agree to use the Payment Processor exclusively for the sale of tickets or registrations for Events, and for goods and services sold at your Events, through the Services.

10. Promoted Events

Gaytherings may offer features that increase the visibility of your Events on the Services, including through paid or unpaid promotional placements (“Promoted Events”). If you choose to purchase any promotional features, you acknowledge that the promotion may affect the visibility of your Event, but it does not guarantee a minimum level of impressions, engagement, attendance, ticket sales, or any other results. 

The placement, ranking, pacing, and display of Promoted Events are determined by Gaytherings in its discretion and may vary based on factors such as user preferences, location, relevance, platform performance, and other criteria. Promoted Events will be shown only where we determine they are relevant and may not be displayed to all Users, including Users who have chosen to block or otherwise restrict interactions with you.

Promoted Events may be offered on a per-impression basis, and details regarding pricing, duration, estimated impressions, budgets, or other promotional metrics will be provided at the time of purchase or activation.

This license includes the right to use, reproduce, display, and distribute your Organizer Marks in any media or format now known or later developed, including, without limitation, on the Services, in marketing materials, email communications, advertisements, and on social media platforms, and in promotional content such as customer case studies.
