| Terms and Conditions
1. Purpose
1.1 Introduction. Welcome to Ticketstosee.com's online ticket exchange (the "Site"). These Terms and Conditions (including any documents referred to in it) ("Agreement") list the terms of the agreement between you ("You") and Ticketstosee.com ("Ticketstosee.com" or "We" or "Us") for the buying and selling of tickets ("Tickets"), and all other services that We provide (the "Services"). By using our Site, You agree to accept this Agreement.
1.2 Ticketing Exchange. Ticketstosee.com provides a service that allows members who want to buy tickets ("Buyers") to find members who want to sell tickets ("Sellers"). Ticketstosee.com does not take title to the underlying ticket and the actual transactions are between the Buyers and Sellers. We cannot ensure that a Buyer or Seller will actually complete a transaction.
1.3 Modification. If We change this Agreement, We shall post a revised version of this Agreement, which shall automatically replace the terms of this Agreement. The revised version of this Agreement is automatically effective after it is initially posted on the Site. Your continued use of the Site and the Services following Ticketstosee.com's posting of a revised Agreement will constitute Your acceptance of the revised Agreement. If You do not agree with the terms of this Agreement or any revised version of this Agreement, do not continue to use the Services or this Site.
2. Member Activity
2.1 Requirements. To be a member of this Site, You must agree to accept the terms in this Agreement. You may only use the Services if You can legally enter into and form binding contracts. If You do not qualify, do not use the Services.
2.2 Listing. To sell tickets, a Seller lists the tickets in the Site database. As part of the listing process, the Seller assigns a price to the tickets and provides information including but not limited to the event, date, section, seat, row, and sale end date, all in accordance with the process outlined in the help pages. You also grant Us a non-exclusive, transferable, worldwide, paid-up, royalty-free right and license to reproduce, modify, adapt, publish and display on the Site and on the sites of our marketing partners your descriptions of tickets listed for sale. This is so we can promote the sale of tickets and items that You list for sale.
2.3 VAT on Seller Proceeds. The Seller is responsible for determining whether it/he/she is required to account for VAT on the sale of the ticket. We take no responsibility for such issues. If the Seller is required to account for VAT (UK or other) on the sale of the ticket, the Seller should include the VAT (i.e., total) price when setting ticket prices on the website. Note that this is separate from any VAT Ticketstosee.com is required to charge.
2.4 Pricing Formats. If a Seller posts a ticket for sale on our Site, it is provided to sell that ticket at a fixed price. The Seller sets a price at which they will sell the tickets, Buyers cannot retract bids once they have been placed. Sellers are bound to confirm and fulfill transactions once a bid has been placed.
2.5 Making an Offer. A member who wants to buy a ticket first scans the Site database for tickets listed by Sellers that match the Buyer's desired tickets. Once the Buyer finds a matching ticket, the Buyer notifies Us with an "offer" that the Buyer is willing to purchase the ticket. Note that the Seller may or may not be required to charge you VAT on the sale of your ticket. Thus, the ticket price shown (before our fees) may include VAT (UK or other) as appropriate. Please note this does not include any VAT that may be payable on fees We are required to pay. As a Buyer, You grant Us permission to charge your credit card, debit card, or bank account for the purchase of the selected tickets.
2.6 Payment Authorisation. When We receive an offer by credit or debit card, We obtain an authorisation from the Buyer's credit or debit card equal to the price, booking fees and delivery fees for the tickets. We will also add VAT as applicable. The authorisation will remain on the Buyer's credit or debit card until the sale is completed or the order is cancelled. We will also add VAT on our fees as applicable. When We receive an offer by bank transfer, We will check to see if the bank account is valid.
2.7 Notification. Once We obtain an authorisation from the Buyer, We notify the Seller of the sale via email and/or telephone, and We confirm to the Seller that the Buyer is willing to pay the listed price, booking fees, delivery fees, and taxes on our fees. Please note, selling prices for tickets traded on Ticketstosee.com may differ from their original 'face value' (i.e. the price it is sold for on the primary market). Additional information can be found in our FAQ's and on the ticket details pages.
2.8 Seller's Confirmation. The Seller must confirm the order within three (3) business days of sale of the tickets. The Seller must allow enough time for the buyer to receive the tickets on time for the event and, in any event, must ship the tickets no later than 7 days before the event. The Seller is expected to send the tickets via the selected delivery method directly to us.
2.9 Collecting Payment. We collect payment from the Buyer for the listed price, booking fees, delivery fees, and taxes on our fees. At no time do We provide the Buyer's payment information to the Seller. The money is paid to us, and the Seller is compensated for the sale according to their selected payment method and the payment policy in the help pages.
2.10 Ticket Fulfillment. Once the Seller lists tickets for sale and a Buyer purchases these tickets, the Seller is responsible for completing the transaction with the exact tickets the Seller listed. The Seller will be charged a replacement fee if the Seller lists tickets for sale and confirms the transaction and those exact tickets are not available. The replacement fee will depend on the market price and how much it costs Us to purchase comparable or better replacement tickets for the Buyer. We will make reasonable endeavours to provide comparable or better replacement tickets for the Buyer. Invalid tickets: If buyers are refused entry to the venue as a result of invalid tickets we may refund the buyer at any time. Invalid tickets are defined as anything where buyers are refused entry. We will collect proof where this is possible but in some cases Ticketstosee.com reserves the right to refund the buyer and not pay the seller even if proof of non-entry is not presented. In the event that an event is cancelled or re-scheduled, Ticketstosee.com reserves the right to cancel a seller's transaction. If for any reason your tickets are returned to Us or cannot be delivered We will attempt redelivery for a maximum of three times. We endeavour to rearrange delivery with the customer or arrange a collection point. If this is also unsuccessful We will not offer a refund. We attempt to ensure all tickets are delivered in time for the event, time scale permitting We may require a venue or box office collection ('pick-up').
2.11 Seller Payment. The Seller will be paid if delivery of the ticket/s was successful. We have the right to withhold payment or collect repayment if the event was re-scheduled or cancelled or if We have a good faith basis to believe such sales were unlawful or otherwise made in material violation of this agreement.
2.12 Ticket Information. Event dates, times, venues and subject matter, which are listed on the ticket, may change. It is up to the Buyer to verify the most recent changes by contacting the box office or referring to official listings for any changes.
2.13 Substituted Seat Locations. Ticket listings are a representation of actual seat location. Tickets may be substituted with comparable or better seat locations with the Buyers' approval.
2.14 Dispute Resolution. After receiving the tickets, if a Buyer is dissatisfied with any part of the purchase the Buyer must follow the rules for dispute resolution by notifying us in writing by recorded mail. Issues must be reported the day after receiving the tickets otherwise the Ticketstosee.com Guarantee will no longer cover this. Should you experience problems with your tickets on the day of the event you must contact Ticketstosee.com within 24 hours after the incident to report the issue. You will have to complete a Dispute Claim Form and only completed Forms will be eligible for a refund. Forms must be returned to Ticketstosee.com 5 working days after receiving them, in order to apply for a refund. Ticketstosee.com reserves the right to prohibit anyone who brings a fraudulent claim from having further access to our website.
