Last Updated on April 30, 2024 This User Agreement (this “Agreement”), among other things, governs (a) your use of SimpleSeats’s digital ticket marketplace platform (the “Platform”), which includes the SimpleSeats.com website (the “Site”) and SimpleSeats’s mobile application "SimpleSeats" (the “Application”), and (b) your use of the Platform to access, receive, or provide tickets (each a "Service" and collectively, the "Services"). The Platform (including the Site and Application) is owned and operated by SimpleSeats, LLC. References to "you" or “your” throughout this Agreement mean: (i) you as a registered user of the Platform, whether seeking to receive tickets (in such capacity, a “Buyer”) or whether seeking to provide tickets (in such capacity, a “Seller”), or (ii) a visitor or browser of the Site or user of the Application. THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT ARE IMPORTANT. THEY AFFECT YOUR RIGHTS. PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY AND MAKE SURE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND EACH PROVISION AS THEY CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE SimpleSeats PLATFORM. THIS AGREEMENT REQUIRES THE USE OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES, RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS OR CLASS ACTIONS. PLEASE CAREFULLY REVIEW THE SECTION TITLED “ARBITRATION” FOR MORE INFORMATION. THIS AGREEMENT LIMITS SimpleSeats’S LIABILITY AND THE REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO YOU IN THE EVENT OF A DISPUTE. By accessing the Platform, clicking on an "I Accept" or "Sign Up" button, completing the registration process, and/or otherwise demonstrating your consent to this Agreement, YOU ARE ENTERING INTO A BINDING CONTRACT, and you represent that (a) you have read, understand, and agree to be bound by this Agreement, (b) you are of legal age to form a binding contract with SimpleSeats, and (c) you have the authority to enter into this Agreement personally or on behalf of an entity, organization, or company you have named as the user, and to bind such entity to this Agreement. If you do not agree to be bound by this Agreement, you may not access or use the Platform or the Services. 1. Updates to the Agreement and the Platform If we change or modify this Agreement, we shall post a revised version which shall automatically replace and supersede the terms of this Agreement and will be effective immediately upon posting. It is important that you review this Agreement whenever this Agreement is updated before continuing to use the Platform. Your continued use of the Platform and the Services following SimpleSeats's posting of a revised Agreement will constitute your acceptance of the revised Agreement. Do not continue to use the Services, or the Platform, if you do not agree with the terms of this Agreement or any revised version of this Agreement. You acknowledge and agree that SimpleSeats may modify (or otherwise discontinue) the Platform (or any portion thereof) in any way and at any time, with or without notice. SimpleSeats shall have no liability for any such change or discontinuance. You further acknowledge and agree that, while SimpleSeats has attempted to provide accurate information on the Platform, such information may change frequently and in no event will SimpleSeats be responsible for the accuracy, timeliness, reliability, usefulness, or completeness of any information, materials, or other content, or that any such information, materials, or other content is the most up-to date. 2. SimpleSeats Platform The Platform includes (a) access to the Site and Mobile App; (b) facilitation of connections between Buyers and Sellers of tickets; (c) facilitation of payments between Buyers and Sellers for tickets; and (d) customer support and related services for the Site and App. As such, SimpleSeats does not purchase or provide tickets. Buyers understand that such facilitation does not constitute a warranty in relation to the tickets provided by Sellers. By using the Platform, you understand and acknowledge that Sellers and Buyers are independent third parties, and not employees, agents, joint venturers, or partners of SimpleSeats. SimpleSeats has no responsibility or liability for the acts or omissions of any Buyers or Sellers (including any tickets provided by Sellers). We want you to buy your tickets with confidence. All eligible purchases are covered by SimpleSeats’s BuyerTrust Guarantee. You must provide all equipment and software necessary to connect to the Platform, including but not limited to, a mobile device that is suitable to connect with and use the Platform, in cases where the Services offer a mobile component. You are solely responsible for any fees, including Internet connection or mobile fees that you incur when accessing the Platform. If you are a Seller that is not part of our Large Seller program, your activities are governed by and subject to our Supplemental Terms for Sellers. 3. Personal Information SimpleSeats’s collection and use of personal information in connection with the Platform is defined and described in SimpleSeats’s privacy policy located here, which may be amended from time to time (“Privacy Policy”). SimpleSeats’s Privacy Policy is incorporated into and forms part of this Agreement. SimpleSeats will not use or distribute your private information except in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

If you are a parent or guardian of a child or minor ward under the age of 18 (or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction), by allowing your child or minor ward to obtain an Account or use the Platform, you as the parent or guardian are subject to this Agreement and are fully liable and responsible for your child’s or minor ward’s activities (including any activities relating to their Account or use of the Platform). You agree not to create an Account if you have been previously banned from the Platform or are barred from using the Platform under the laws of the United States. We may refuse your registration for any reason. 4.1 Social Networking Services; Third Party Accounts If you access the Platform through a social networking service (“SNS”) as part of the functionality of the Platform and/or the Services, you may link your Account with third-party accounts by allowing SimpleSeats to access your third-party account, as is permitted under the applicable terms and conditions that govern your use of each third-party account. You agree to not have more than one third-party account per platform or SNS at any given time. We are not responsible for any interaction between you and your third-party account or any information that is transmitted between the Platform and such third party-account.

App Stores The following additional terms apply to the Application where the Application is accessed through or downloaded from a third party mobile application marketplace, such as the Apple App Store or Google Play (the “App Store”). You acknowledge and agree that: (a) This Agreement is between you and SimpleSeats and not with The App Store, and SimpleSeats (not The App Store) is solely responsible for the Application.
(b) The App Store has no obligation to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to the Application.
(c) In the event of any failure of the Application to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify The App Store, and The App Store will refund the purchase price for the Application to you (if any) and, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, The App Store will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the Application.

(h) You must also comply with all applicable third-party terms of service when using the Application. 9.Buyers: Finding Tickets and Placing Orders 9.1 Fees To purchase tickets, a Buyer may search for events and/or browse SimpleSeats's listings for tickets via the Platform. If you purchase tickets on the Platform, you understand that such purchase will result in fees, charges, and other expenses to you for such tickets (“Fees”), which may include, among other things, (a) the price for the tickets (the “Ticket Fees”) and (b) platform, transaction, or other commissions or related fees for using the Platform (“Transaction Fees”). All payments for Fees will be processed by SimpleSeats and/or its payment processor, using your Payment Method. When you purchase any tickets on the Platform, you are solely responsible for payment of the Fees and any additional fees or charges that may be incurred from your bank, card issuer, or financial institution. By committing to the purchase, you are entering into a binding contract with the Seller to purchase the selected tickets. All such purchases are final and, once placed, cannot be cancelled or retracted by the Buyer. However, placing an order does not complete the sale; a sale is only completed once it has been confirmed by the Seller. In all cases, the submission and confirmation of orders are transactions between Buyers and Sellers only. When an order is placed, it can take up to forty-eight (48) hours for the acceptance of that sale to be confirmed. 9.2 Payment The Buyer's Payment Method is not charged until the Buyer's order is confirmed by the Seller. However, when a Buyer places an order, we obtain an authorization from the Buyer's card provider for the full order amount, which is equal to the total purchase price displayed to the Buyer at the completion of the purchasing process. The authorization remains on the Buyer's Payment Method until the sale is completed when the Seller confirms the order or the order is cancelled. Although an authorization is not a charge, debit card providers will place a hold on funds when an authorization is obtained by SimpleSeats. In all cases, SimpleSeats is not responsible for any bank fees or other penalties resulting from authorizations and/or charges to the Buyer's Payment Method when the Buyer places an order. As a Buyer, you grant SimpleSeats permission to charge your Payment Method for the purchase of tickets. The terms of your Payment Method agreement governs your use of the Payment Method, and you must refer to those terms and not this Agreement to determine your rights and liabilities. By providing SimpleSeats with your Payment Method, you agree that SimpleSeats is authorized to immediately invoice your Account for all Fees due and payable to SimpleSeats hereunder and that no additional notice or consent is required. You agree to immediately notify SimpleSeats of any change in the details of your Payment Method. It is your responsibility to keep your billing information up to date. You must notify SimpleSeats in writing within seven (7) days after receiving your credit card statement, if you dispute any of our charges on that statement or such dispute will be deemed waived. Billing disputes should be sent to the following address: [email protected] As a Buyer, you may have an option to purchase tickets through a flexible payment provider identified on the SimpleSeats Platform. Such flexible payment provider may facilitate a payment plan for your tickets. By using the payment plan, you are agreeing to allow the flexible payment provider to process your Payment Method for the dollar amounts on the schedule that you have selected. If the Payment Method expires or lacks the necessary funds during your plan, it is your responsibility to update it prior to the next payment or risk order cancellation and fees. Additionally, by purchasing tickets through the flexible payment provider, you are also agreeing to the terms and conditions of the flexible payment provider. It is your responsibility to read and understand such terms. SimpleSeats is not responsible for any fees or failure to receive tickets as a result of your failure to comply with the terms of the flexible payment provider. 9.3 Purchase of Tickets After a Buyer places an order to purchase tickets, it is possible that the Seller no longer has the tickets available for sale. In this case, the Buyer's Payment Method will not be charged and the sale will be cancelled. Upon the Seller confirming the sale, the Buyer is guaranteed to receive the tickets in time for the event. However, Buyer understands that once an order is confirmed, the delivery and shipment of tickets is the responsibility of the Seller. SimpleSeats cannot guarantee the method or time of the delivery for a given sale, only that the tickets will be delivered in time for the event. SimpleSeats does not control, and has no right to control, the Seller’s delivery and/or shipment of tickets. 9.4: Seat Views/Quality and Ticket Details The seat views provided by SimpleSeats for a given section reflects the view from that location in general and is not specific to any one ticket listing within that section. SimpleSeats is not responsible for the quality of the specific seat or for the seat location if the venue changes the seating configuration or layout. Tickets may be substituted with comparable or better seat locations by the Seller. Actual seat and row numbers may vary from those purchased on the Platform. It is at SimpleSeats’s sole determination whether substituted tickets are comparable or better seat locations. Additionally, SimpleSeats does not guarantee any information provided by any Sellers in the “Seller Notes” area of the ticket listings. Event dates, times, venues, and performers, which are listed on the ticket, may change. It is the responsibility of the Buyer to verify the most recent details for an event. Please contact the box office or refer to local listings for any changes. SimpleSeats is not responsible for these changes or for partial performances and as such, no refunds or credits will be issued. Unless otherwise expressly stated by SimpleSeats, the display of any tickets or sellers on our website does not in any way imply, suggest or constitute an endorsement by us of those tickets or that seller, or any sponsorship of us by such seller, or any other affiliation between such seller and us. 9.5 Ticket Prices The face value printed on the ticket and/or the original price of the ticket may not be the same as the purchased price or the cost of the transaction. Ticket prices are set by the Seller. SimpleSeats does not own ticket inventory or set ticket prices. As a result, the ticket prices listed may be higher or lower than the price printed on and/or the original price of the ticket. The face value for a ticket available for sale may be provided on the Platform, in accordance with applicable law. In those instances, we can only provide the face value the Seller provides to SimpleSeats. SimpleSeats cannot assess or guarantee the truthfulness or accuracy of such information provided by Seller. Buyers should be aware that ticket prices for live events continue to fluctuate on the open market. It is possible that prices of similar seats will change over time; if the prices of similar tickets increase prior to the event, you will not be charged more. Conversely, if the price of similar tickets decreases prior to the event, no credits, refunds or upgrades will be given for tickets previously purchased. SimpleSeats will never charge more than what you have authorized. All prices are listed in U.S. dollars. In some instances, a Price Freeze may be applicable to ticket prices, as set forth in the Price Freeze Terms and Conditions available here, which are incorporated into and form a part of this Agreement. 9.6 BestPrice Guarantee SimpleSeats offers a BestPrice Guarantee to the Buyer for qualifying purchases, which is incorporated into and forms a part of this Agreement. This guarantee takes effect only after the Seller has confirmed acceptance and the Buyer's Payment Method has been charged. The instructions for submitting a BestPrice Guarantee Claim are available here. Any claims submitted for the BestPrice Guarantee must meet all the conditions set by SimpleSeats to be eligible to receive any credit, including, without limitation, the following: (a) The lower price is based on the final checkout page price on a ticket marketplace other than SimpleSeats. When taking your screenshot, please ensure it displays all fees and taxes. Taxes are not included when comparing the pricing of tickets;
(b) The lower price must be found and screenshot with a timestamp within 30 minutes of your purchase with SimpleSeats;
(c) The lower price you found must be for the same event, the same date(s), and the same section, row, and quantity that you purchased on SimpleSeats;
(d) The lower price must be available to the general public. AARP rates, AAA rates, military rates, corporate rates, etc, do not apply;
(e) Various prices are not valid as a “lower price” for this BestPrice Guarantee, including but not limited to:
(i) Prices offered through loyalty programs or membership programs (in each case, paid or unpaid), through contests or as a part of a travel package;
(ii) Prices that require a login, credit card number, or code to view;
(iii) Prices that are not bookable, such as some advertisements;
(iv) Prices offered through government programs or offers;
(v) Prices obtained through the usage of promo or coupon;
(vi) Prices obtained as part of a lottery, rush program, or similar promotion;
(vii) Prices from apps or websites where you don’t know the event until after booking, prices from websites/apps where you name your own price, and prices you must call in for;
(viii) Prices from professional ticket resellers (those who buy and sell tickets on a regular basis, as determined by SimpleSeats in its sole discretion);
(ix) Credit issued as part of a claim expire 365 days after issuance if they are not used; and
(x) Prices that are reflective of unauthorized reselling of a confirmed ticket reservation made in someone else’s name;
 (f) SimpleSeats may deny any suspicious or fraudulent claims.
(g) The BestPrice Guarantee does not apply in the event of disasters, acts of terrorism, or other events outside of SimpleSeats’s control.
(h) SimpleSeats caps the amount of SimpleSeats Credit(s) that can be issued as part of a claim at $200.
 Under its sole discretion, SimpleSeats reserves the right to deny any BestPrice Guarantee Claim due to any failure to follow instructions provided by SimpleSeats, including the provision of any inaccurate information associated with your claim. 9.7 Ticket Discrepancies Subsequent to the receipt of tickets, it is the Buyer's responsibility to verify any possible inconsistency or discrepancy in the ticket location, description, and/or price by calling SimpleSeats as soon as possible following the discovery of such a discrepancy. Use of a ticket without reporting a discrepancy to SimpleSeats constitutes acceptance of the ticket as is, notwithstanding any inconsistency with the Seller's listing and the actual ticket. As noted in our BuyerTrust Guarantee, which is incorporated into and forms a part of this Agreement, if there are any issues or discrepancies with the tickets that you receive from what you purchased, SimpleSeats may, at its sole discretion, find comparable or better replacement tickets. If replacement tickets cannot be found or are not available at a comparable price, SimpleSeats reserves the right to cancel the order and refund to you the full purchase price. We may require that you return to us the tickets you initially received. If a Seller notifies SimpleSeats of a pricing error when listing tickets for sale, SimpleSeats will use their sole discretion to decide whether it is appropriate to cancel a sale and excuse the seller from fulfilling the sale. This is most commonly caused when a seller forgets a digit (ex: $40 vs $140) or reverses the digits (ex: $260 vs $620) when setting the price on a listing but can be the result of other errors as well. In these cases, whether an order is confirmed or not, SimpleSeats in its sole discretion, reserves the right to cancel the sale and provide the Buyer with a credit or refund. 9.8: Right to Cancel Transaction. In certain circumstances, we may cancel a ticket transaction (whether a purchase, listing, and/or transfer) without notice and return the tickets to the Seller or to the individual who held the tickets prior to the completion of the transaction. Such circumstances include, but are not limited to, the following: (a) if an event is canceled without being rescheduled;
(b) if the Buyer’s Payment Method does not remit payment;
(c) if we suspect, in our sole discretion, unauthorized or fraudulent use of a Buyer, Seller, and/or transferee’s account with us;
(d) if a Buyer, Seller, and/or transferee breaches these Terms of Use;
(e) if we deem, in our sole discretion, that a ticket transaction violates the law;
(f) if there is an error in the pricing of a ticket offered for sale through the SimpleSeats Platform; and/or
(g) if we believe, in our sole discretion, that a Buyer, Seller, and/or transferee has otherwise engaged in inappropriate conduct in connection with a ticket transaction.
9.9: Attending Events When attending an event, you may be required to sign a waiver or other legal document to gain access to the venue by the venue or event organizer or such party’s agent. By purchasing tickets from SimpleSeats, you understand that you may be denied entry if you do not sign such waiver. We encourage the purchase of travel insurance for any event. If you are not permitted into an event, or are otherwise unable to attend an event, for any reason other than due to the invalidity of the tickets you receive, SimpleSeats is not responsible, and you will not qualify for a refund or any other form of compensation. SimpleSeats has no obligation to credit or refund (and will not credit or refund) incidental expenses that you have incurred relating to your plans to attend the event including, but not limited to, plane or transportation expenses, hotel reservations, or rental car costs. 10. Text Message Policy By creating an Account or otherwise giving SimpleSeats any contact information, you agree to accept and receive communications from SimpleSeats, including via email, text message, calls, and push notifications to the cellular telephone number you provided to SimpleSeats. These communications may include transactional and purchase related communications relating to your use of the Platform or the provision or receipt of Services. Message and data rates may apply. Some of our Services may allow you to receive SMS, MMS, or other text message notifications from us (each a "Text Message"). To the extent you voluntarily opt to have Text Messages (marketing and/or transactional Text Messages depending on your selection) from us sent directly to your mobile phone, the following terms apply: You agree to receive recurring automated marketing and/or informational and transactional Text Messages from SimpleSeats, including Text Messages that may be sent using an automatic telephone dialing system, to the mobile telephone number you provided when signing up or any other number that you designate. Consent to receive automated marketing and/or transactional Text Messages is not a condition of any purchase. Your mobile provider's standard messaging rates apply to our confirmation Text Message and all subsequent Text Message correspondence. Message and data rates may apply, according to your individual rate plan provided by your wireless carrier. Please consult your mobile service carrier's pricing plan to determine the charges for browsing data and sending and receiving Text Messages. Under no circumstances will SimpleSeats or its affiliates be responsible for any text messaging or wireless charges incurred by you or by a person that has access to your wireless device or telephone number. If your carrier does not permit text alerts, you may not receive the Text Messages from us. You can opt-out of receiving any further Text Messages from us by replying "STOP" to any Text Message you receive from us. Message frequency will vary. SimpleSeats reserves the right to alter the frequency of messages sent at any time, so as to increase or decrease the total number of sent messages. SimpleSeats also reserves the right to change the short code or phone number from which messages are sent. Not all mobile devices or handsets may be supported and our messages may not be deliverable in all areas. SimpleSeats, its service providers, and the mobile carriers supported by the program are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. For additional information, please visit our Privacy Policy. 11. Event Cancellation, Postponement, or Rescheduling If an event is cancelled and not postponed or rescheduled, we will provide a Credit (defined below) or refund to Buyer, as determined in SimpleSeats's sole discretion (except to the extent a refund is required by law), for the full Fee paid by Buyer for the respective tickets. Tickets must be returned by Buyer, in the manner and within the timeline as directed by SimpleSeats, to obtain a Credit or refund. If an event is postponed or rescheduled, please retain your ticket. In most cases, the original purchased ticket will be honored for the new event date. New tickets will not need to be reissued for most rescheduled or postponed events. Credits, refunds or exchanges will not be made for postponed or rescheduled events. SimpleSeats assumes no responsibility for the actions of any event organizing body when an event or tickets is cancelled, postponed or rescheduled. 12. Credits SimpleSeats may offer promotional codes, discount credits, or other types of credits (“Credits”). Credits can only be used with a registered Account. Credits will expire as stated in the offer. If no expiration term is stated, Credits will expire no later than one year after issuance. Credits are for one-time use only and may not be copied, reproduced, distributed, or published either directly or indirectly in any form. SimpleSeats reserves the right to deactivate any unused Credits for any reason. If you are given a choice between a refund or a Credit, once that decision has been made it cannot be switched.
