By accessing or using Social Scene's Services, you agree to comply with and be bound by these Terms, as applicable to you.

1. Accepting These Terms

1.1 What's What. Social Scene's events and offerings are available through mobile applications, webpages, and subdomains ("Applications"). Referred to as "Social Scene Services" 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 Social Scene in connection with the Services is the "Site Content" (or "Content"). 

1.2 Who's Who. When these Terms use the term "Users" we meant consumers who (a)  consume information about or attend Events ("Users") or (b) for any other reason. consumers and third parties using our Services are all referred to in these Terms collectively as "Users," "you" or "your."

When these Terms use the term "Social Scene," "we," "us," or "our," that refers to Social Scene, LLC. and its affiliates, and each of its respective officers, and employees. 

.

1.3 What Else. If you are a third party interacting with our Services, not as an Organizer or a Consumer, the API Terms of Use or Trademark and Copyright Policy might be applicable to you. Please be on the lookout for additional terms and conditions displayed with certain Services that you may use from time to time as those will also be applicable to you. And, by agreeing to these Terms of Service, you acknowledge you have read the Privacy Policy and Cookie Statement applicable to all Users. We may sometimes provide you with services that are not described in these Terms of Service, or customized services: unless we have entered into a separate, signed agreement that expressly supersedes these Terms of Service, these Terms of Service will apply to those services as well.

1.4 What the "Terms of Service" Means. These Terms of Service and the other documents referenced in them (including in Section 1.3 above) comprise Social Scene's "Terms." These Terms are a legally binding agreement between you and Social Scene governing your access to and use of the Services and setting out your rights and responsibilities when you use the Services. By using any of our Services (including browsing a Site), 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 a case, "you" and "you're" will refer to that entity as well as yourself.

 

2. Social Scene's Services and Role

2.1 What We Do. Social Scene creates a social “scene”: an environment to connect people, build relationships and create memories through online campaigns and on-premise social events. Our focus is on providing exposure to our partnering brands, venues, and clients to connect with a great social audience through experiential marketing. Social Scene's Services provide a simple and quick means for Users to manage online registration and sell merchandise or accommodations related to those events to Users or other Users.

2.2 How We Fit In. Social Scene provides its Services, Users must use whatever payment processing method the Social Scene selects. If Social Scene selects a payment processing method that uses a third party to process the payment (e.g Eventbrite and other ticketing platforms Social Scene partners with ), then neither Social Scene nor any of its payment processing partners process the transaction but we transmit the Consumer's payment details to the designated payment provider.

3. Privacy and Consumer Information

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

4. Term; Termination

4.1 These Terms apply to you as soon as you access the Services by any means and continue in effect until they are terminated. There may come a time when either you or Social Scene 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 Social Scene.

4.2 Social Scene 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 in a way not intended or permitted by Social Scene; 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 Social Scene to legal liability.

Social Scene 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 Social Scene's sole discretion, failure to do so would materially prejudice you. You agree that Social Scene 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 Social Scene, 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 Social Scene 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 licenses).

5. Release and Indemnification

This is where you agree to cover Social Scene if you use the Service in a way that causes Social Scene 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 Social Scene 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 Services. In addition, you waive any applicable law or statute, which says, in a 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 Social Scene and each of its and their respective officers, ticketing platforms, 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. Social Scene’s collection and remission of taxes

Social Scene will provide notice to you of any such Claim, provided that the failure or delay by Social Scene 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, Social Scene may choose to handle the Claim ourselves, in which case you agree to cooperate with Social Scene 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. Social Scene 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, Social Scene 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 Social Scene 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 within connection with events) or the ability of any User to perform or actually complete a transaction. Social Scene has no responsibility to you for and hereby disclaims all liability arising from, the acts or omissions of any third parties that Social Scene requires to provide 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 the 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, Social Scene and any person or entity associated with Social Scene'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 Social Scene has been advised of the possibility of such damages); or

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.

 

8-9

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 and have a jury trial. 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 dispute 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 on 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 participation in the US-EU or US-Swiss Privacy Shield Frameworks is subject to the Dispute Resolution section of our Privacy Policy before being subject to this Section.

(e) No Class Actions.

YOU AND Social Scene 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 INDIVIDUAL CLAIM.

(f) Notice of Dispute.

A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other a written Notice of Dispute ("Notice"). The Notice to Social Scene must be addressed to the following address ("Notice Address") and must be sent by certified mail: Social Scene, LLC., Attn: 730 W Lake St Unit 162. Chicago, IL 60661, USA. Notice to you will be addressed to a mailing, home, or payment address currently on record with Social Scene and must be sent by certified mail. If Social Scene has no records of such physical address, such notice may be delivered to your Social Scene account email address. The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. If Social Scene and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, you or Social Scene may commence an arbitration proceeding.

(g) Arbitration Proceedings.

The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules, or, if the actions giving rise to the dispute or claim relating to your personal or household use of the Services (rather than business use), the Consumer Arbitration Rules (in each case, the "AAA Rules") of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), as modified by this Section 9, and will be administered by the AAA and settled by a single arbitrator. (The AAA Rules are also available by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.) All issues in dispute between the parties are for the arbitrator to decide, including, but not limited to, issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this Section 9.

(h) Location of Arbitration Proceedings.

If you are a Consumer, any arbitration hearings will take place (at your option) either in the county of your residence or by phone, except that if you are a Consumer whose residence is in the United States, the hearing will take place in Chicago, Illinois and as permitted by the AAA Rules. If you are a business (i.e., your use of the Services was for commercial use), then unless Social Scene and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in a reasonably convenient location in the United States for both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, AAA will determine the location. If your claim is for ten thousand dollars ($10,000) or less, we agree that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds ten thousand dollars ($10,000), the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator will issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. All decisions by the arbitrator will be final and binding and judgment on the award rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

(i) Costs of Arbitration; Legal Fees.

  1. Payment of Costs and Expenses. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator costs and expenses imposed by AAA will be governed by the AAA rules, provided that if you are initiating an arbitration against Social Scene and the value of the relief sought is ten thousand dollars ($10,000) or less, then Social Scene will advance all filing, administrative and arbitration costs and expenses imposed by AAA (subject to reimbursement as set forth below). Further, if the circumstances in the preceding sentence apply and your claim arises from your use of the Services as a Consumer, but the value of the relief sought is more than ten thousand dollars ($10,000) and you demonstrate to the arbitrator that such costs and expenses would be more expensive than a court proceeding, then Social Scene will pay the amount of any such costs and expenses. In the event that the arbitrator determines that all of the claims you assert in arbitration are frivolous according to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11, you agree to reimburse Social Scene for all such costs and expenses that Social Scene paid and that you would have been obligated to pay under the AAA rules.
  2. 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 relating to your personal or household use of the Services (rather than business use) Social Scene 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.

(j) Future Changes.

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

(k) Special Severability.

In the event that any provisions of this Section 9 are found to be invalid or unenforceable for any dispute or claim, then, the entirety of this Section 9 will be null and void with respect to such dispute or claim, and Section 23 will apply in lieu of this Section 9.

(l) 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 connect@besocialscene.com, 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, Social Scene also will not be bound by them.

In addition, certain fees are meant, on average, to defray certain costs incurred by Social Scene, but may in some cases include an element of profit and in some cases include an element of loss.

 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.

12.3 Refunds. Social Scene asks that all Users contact us with any refund requests. 

 If you are a Consumer or a User, you acknowledge that should you receive a refund for your ticket, you will discard any ticket that we 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. Social Scene will not be held liable under any circumstances for costs and/or damage associated with tickets arising from situations of fraud and/or for damage associated with the purchase of the ticket through non-official means, such as third parties.

21. Additional Miscellaneous Provisions

Our failure to enforce any part of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of our right to later enforce that or any other part of these Terms. No oral waiver, amendment, or modification of these Terms will be effective. If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, that part will be limited to the minimum extent necessary and the other provisions of these Terms remain in full force and effect. Section titles in these Terms are for convenience and have no legal or contractual effect. No independent contractor, agency, partnership, joint venture, or other such relationship is created by these Terms. We may freely assign any of our rights and obligations under these Terms. We may translate these Terms into other languages for your convenience. If there is a conflict between the English version and a translated version, the English version will control.
