B. Purplepass and User Responsibilities Regarding Maintenance of Online Schedule

  1. Purplepass Responsibilities: Purplepass shall provide User with documentation on the use of the Purplepass System, and User shall have access to the Purplepass System at no cost other than as listed herein, subject to the limitations stated herein. Purplepass shall also:
  1. Build User's initial Event on the Purplepass System together with User (e.g., step-by-step introduction to the Purplepass System with a client services representative via teleconference).
  2. Create all Venue seating-charts (for reserved seating Events).
  3. Create all price schedules to Events requiring a variety of price tiers within a single allotment of Tickets.
  4. Provide email technical support for the use of the Purplepass System on an as-needed basis and at the reasonable request of User.
  1. User Responsibilities: User acknowledges that an important advantage of the Purplepass System is its user-friendly and self-service features, and that User will take all reasonable efforts to become well versed in operating the Purplepass System and become an "independent user" of the Purplepass System. In connection therewith, User agrees to the following:

 

  1. User is responsible for its own Internet access. Purplepass bears no responsibility for service interruptions or functionality impairment caused by corporate "firewalls”, defects, or other problems or obstacles in a third party's software.
  2. User shall be solely responsible for operating the Purplepass software and for maintaining all aspects of its account, including but not limited to, maintaining its Online Schedule, building Events on the Purplepass System, proofing any Events built by or any Online Schedule updating done by Purplepass, amending Event builds, inputting Ticket prices, terminating sales for cancelled Events and retrieving Will-Call lists for all scheduled Events on sale through the Purplepass System and listed on User's Online Schedule. User agrees to be solely responsible for any and all errors made with regard to inputting Event information and maintaining its own Online Schedule and account.
  3. User shall follow all on-screen guidelines and instructions relating to Event data entry.
  4. User shall retrieve all account information from its online account via the Internet and shall not telephone Purplepass for accessible account information, unless extenuating circumstances exist (e.g., in the event of an ISP service interruption or outage).
  5. User shall complete the Client Information sheet attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A and to provide updates of the information on Exhibit A to Purplepass if any of the information becomes out-of-date.

 

  1. Data flow in the Purplepass System: Notwithstanding the self-service features afforded to User, Purplepass retains the right to control all content and listings entered into the Purplepass System.
  1. Purplepass Assistance in Maintenance of Online Events: In the event that User is unable to create or edit Event information for technical reasons, Purplepass agrees to update User’s Online Schedule at no additional cost provided that (i) Purplepass must receive all such updated Event listing information for User's Events via email or fax in a timely fashion, and (ii) User shall be solely responsible for alerting Purplepass of any and all errors made to the Event information. To help ensure the accuracy of Event listings, Purplepass will not update User's Online Schedule based on verbal requests.
  1. Changes and Cancellations: User shall promptly notify Purplepass via telephone, email, or fax, of any scheduling Changes, or line up changes, and/or cancellations for scheduled Events on sale through the Purplepass System and listed in User's Online Schedule. User is solely responsible for going onto the Purplepass System and stopping sales to its Events that have been cancelled.
  1. No Price Discrimination: User agrees that for all of its PRESALE Event Tickets sold on the Purplepass System, User will not charge a higher face value than User charges for the same Event Tickets sold through any other PRESALE purchase mode or location, including Tickets sold directly to the public. Ticket prices for daily deals or Tickets sold on the day of the Event are at the sole discretion of the User.
  1. Limited Use of Call Center: User agrees that Purplepass' call center shall be advertised for the sole purpose of purchasing Tickets to User's Events and not for general information regarding User's Events. User shall in no way advertise Purplepass or Purplepass' telephone number(s) as a source of general Event information.

 

C. Additional Fulfillment Services

  1. Delivery: In addition to Will-Call and Print-at-Home, Purplepass may, at its option, offer to deliver Tickets to Buyers via U.S. Mail, or UPS (or similar carrier), or electronic means. Purplepass’ standard charges for these delivery options shall apply and will be billed to Buyer, and Purplepass will retain all such proceeds; delivery charges are not refundable.
  1. Lost Tickets: In the event that a Buyer claims an order was lost in the mail, Purplepass will make a good faith effort to determine the validity of such a claim before it issues replacement Tickets. Any replacement Ticket issued by Purplepass must be picked up at Will-Call. In the event that replacement Tickets are issued by Purplepass as a result of being lost in the mail, User agrees that Purplepass will not be held responsible for the cost of replacement Tickets.

 

D. Purchaser Data/Use of Opt-Outs

Both User and Purplepass have rights in the personally identifiable information with respect to persons who actually purchased Tickets to User’s Events through Purplepass (“Purchaser Data”), subject to the terms hereof. Purplepass will solely retain rights in any other data that is collected by Purplepass by any means regardless of whether such data is redundant of Purchaser Data. Purplepass takes seriously its efforts to ensure the privacy rights of Ticket purchasers. User therefore agrees to use the Purchaser Data only in compliance with all applicable laws and administrative rulings and in accordance with User’s own posted privacy policies. Purplepass also requires that User include in any email communications that User may make based on the Purchaser Data a mechanism to provide the recipient with the right to “opt-out” from receiving further communications from User and that User honor such opt-out preferences.

 

E. Intellectual Property

  1. Purplepass System: Purplepass owns all proprietary rights in and to the Purplepass System, including patent, copyright, trade secret, trademark, trade dress, and other proprietary rights, including but not limited to the ticketing software, and any corrections, bug fixes, enhancements, updates or other modifications, including custom modifications, whether made by Purplepass or any other party ("Purplepass’ Proprietary Rights"). User agrees that it will not take or permit any other person or entity to take any action that would jeopardize or otherwise be contrary to Purplepass’ Proprietary Rights, including but not limited to disassembling, cloning, decompiling, altering or reverse engineering.
  1. Brands: Except as otherwise provided, each Party owns all proprietary rights, including without limitation trademark rights, in their respective brands. Each Party agrees that, except as otherwise expressly permitted in this Agreement, it will not take any action that would infringe, dilute, or conflict with the other Party's ownership rights in its brands. Each Party grants the other Party the limited, revocable, non-exclusive right to use the other's logos, trademarks, and other branding for the sole purpose of promoting the services enumerated in this Agreement during the Term; provided, however, that: (i) the Party using the other Party’s trademarks shall not be in default of any obligation under this Agreement; and (ii) neither Party shall assign the right to use the other’s trademarks without the prior express written consent of the trademark owner, such consent will not be unreasonably withheld. Any purported assignment made in violation of this Section E2 will be void.  The rights to use the other’s trademarks provided in this Section E2 will not survive the termination of this Agreement.

 

F. Refunds

  1. Cancelled Events; Refunds: In the event that any Event for which Purplepass sold Tickets is cancelled, postponed, or modified (e.g., substitute acts) for any reason (each, a “Cancelled Event”), the Account Balance shall be held and made available for distribution by Purplepass to Ticket purchasers entitled to refunds for Tickets purchased from Purplepass for Cancelled Events. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Account Balance” shall mean the amount of funds held at any time by Purplepass on account of Ticket sales for all Events, less the amount of Ticket sales proceeds which Purplepass is entitled to retain hereunder. User authorizes Purplepass to refund the Ticket price at the original point of purchase. It is agreed and understood that Purplepass is the Ticket selling agent of User and therefore Purplepass’ agreement to make any refunds as the agent of User is subject and limited to Purplepass holding or receiving from User the full amount of funds necessary to make refunds to all Ticket purchasers properly entitled to a refund.
  1. Chargebacks: User shall be responsible for any Chargebacks Purplepass receives from its merchant bank in connection with the Events for up to eighteen (18) months after the occurrence of an Event. Purplepass reserves the right to deduct Chargebacks from Settlements or to charge the Chargebacks to the User’s credit card or bank account via ACH in the amount of such Chargebacks. For purposes of this Agreement, “Chargebacks” shall mean the amounts that the merchant bank is charged back by a cardholder or a card issuer under the card organization’s rules (e.g. cardholder dispute, fraud, declined transaction, returned Tickets for Cancelled Events, etc.).
  1. Insolvency; Deficiency Amounts; Security for Repayment: User shall provide immediate written notice to Purplepass in the event it files any voluntary or involuntary petition under the bankruptcy or insolvency laws or upon any appointment of a receiver for all or any portion of User’s business or the assignment of all or substantially all of the assets of User for the benefit of creditors (each, a “Material Financial Event”). The Parties agree that this Agreement constitutes a financial accommodation by Purplepass to User as such term is utilized in 11 U.S.C. § 365. If at any time, the Account Balance is not sufficient to pay for anticipated refunds or Chargebacks, User shall deliver the amount of such deficiency (“Deficiency Amount”) to Purplepass no later than twenty-four (24) hours after notice by Purplepass to User. Purplepass shall have the right to offset any Deficiency Amount against any amounts held by Purplepass on behalf of User. User agrees that Purplepass shall be entitled to all attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in the collection process.
  1. Buyer Complaints: User agrees to grant refunds to all Buyers who request them for a period of 90 days after the Event occurs for Events that are rescheduled, if admittance is denied due to overselling, or if the advertised talent does not perform.
  1. Will-Call Errors on behalf of User: User agrees to grant refunds to any Buyer who appears on the Purplepass Will Call manifest but who is denied access to the Event due to human error on the part of any staff employed by User or Venue, or due to equipment failures, or Internet access problems experienced by User or Buyer.
  1. Withholding: Purplepass reserves the right to withhold up to five-percent (5%) of Settlement for any Event for a period of up to 90 days after the Event occurs to allow all returns and disputed charges to clear processing. If an Event receives customer service requests, including but not limited to early closure, talent not performing, location change, overcrowding, unusually long lines, or services not rendered, Purplepass reserves the right to withhold up to 100% of the Settlement for any Event for a period up to 90 days after the Event occurs to allow all returns and disputed charges to clear processing. Purplepass will release funds which Purplepass does not consider to be at risk of return or dispute. Unless the User opts to use their own merchant account, in which case User is authorized to disperse funds at their own discretion after Purplepass has received any fees due from the Tickets in question.
  1. Refund Fee: User agrees that Purplepass will be entitled to retain the Charges paid by User, Service Fees assessed, and any applicable shipping fees with respect to the initial sale of refunded Tickets.
  1. Other: User may authorize Purplepass to grant refunds for any other reason, at User's own discretion, and in such event Purplepass may deduct the amounts of such refunds from the Settlements. If refunds are requested after the Settlement, Purplepass is authorized to charge User via ACH or credit card for the costs.

 

G. Settlement

  1. Purplepass Processes Payments: The following terms only apply for payments processed through Purplepass’ merchant account.
  1. Purplepass shall collect all proceeds from Ticket sales, deposit them in an account maintained by Purplepass and remit the portion of such proceeds due to User less the amounts to which Purplepass is entitled pursuant to this Agreement.
  2. Payment shall be made by eCheck, wire, or traditional paper check payable only to User's name as set forth in this Agreement. Payment shall be issued via preferred method every Thursday, for all Events occurring on or before the previous Sunday. If Thursday is a National holiday, then payment shall be sent the next business day.
  3. A printed statement summarizing all account activity during the Settlement period shall accompany each payment. No statement or payment shall be issued if Events did not occur during Settlement period.
  1. It is agreed and understood that Purplepass shall not be liable to User for any damages, loss revenue, and/or other financial harm caused by the sale of counterfeit Tickets.
  1. Purplepass is authorized to initiate debit and/or credit to the checking or savings account indicated on the User’s profile (“Depository”). User acknowledges that the origination of ACH transactions to User’s account must comply with the provisions of U.S. law. This authorization is to remain in full force and effect until Purplepass has received written notification from User of its termination in such time and such manner as to afford Purplepass and Depository a reasonable opportunity to act on it.
