6. THE ONLINE PODIUM PLATFORM ROLE

Online Podium’ platform provides a payment and ticketing service to Event Organizers. It does not organize or sell tickets for events.  Your contract for access to Your Events is with the Event Organizer and is governed by any terms and conditions the Event Organizer has included in or linked to its Event Listings.  It is your responsibility to read these terms before registering for an event or purchasing tickets to an event. Online Podium acts as the Event Organizer’s agent in collecting payment from and delivering electronic tickets to you.

Event Listings may be hosted by Online Podium or by the Event Organizer on its own website, which is linked to the Online Podium Website by a secure iframe. Event Organizers’ websites are not part of the Online Podium Platform.

________________________________________

7. PROVISION OF TICKETS

You may pay for tickets with a Visa, Mastercard or where available, an American Express Credit Card.

Tickets are provided electronically by email or SMS to the email address or mobile phone number provided by you during registration or when purchasing tickets. All tickets issued by the Online Podium Platform are secured with an encrypted key, and contain a visible QR code and Ticket ID, and can only be validated if they can be scanned correctly at the event venue. You may present either a printed or digital ticket at the event venue, provided the QR code and Ticket ID are clearly visible. Ticket holders may not be permitted entry into the event if the ticket cannot be scanned and validated. In addition to producing a valid ticket, Event Organizers may require you to show evidence of identity, or the card used to make payment.

________________________________________

8. CLAIMS IN RELATION TO EVENTS

Complaints and claims in relation to Your Events should be directed to the Event Organizer.  To the extent permitted by law, Online Podium excludes all claims and liabilities relating to Your Events other than:

  • claims relating to the payment and ticketing services provided by Online Podium; and
  • claims for refunds for cancelled events in accordance with paragraph 10.

9. REFUNDS

Online Podium does not give refunds or exchange tickets other than in accordance with paragraph 10. If you print your ticket, and it is lost or stolen, it may be used by a third party to gain access to the event. If this occurs, you will not be able to obtain access to the event.  Your Event Organizer may be willing to cancel the ticket and issue a new one, but Online Podium is not able to do so.

________________________________________

10. CANCELLED EVENTS

It is the responsibility of the Event Organizer, not Online Podium, to advise you if Your Event is cancelled.  You should immediately contact the Event Organizer to request a refund.  If the Event Organizer has not either refunded your payment in full (including any booking fee) or provided an alternative remedy acceptable to you (such as tickets to a rescheduled or other event) within five business days of the cancellation, you should notify Online Podium within ten (10) business days of the cancellation.  Unless the Event Organizer provides us with evidence that it has made the refund or you have accepted the alternative remedy, Online Podium will refund your payment in full (including any booking fee) by the means used to pay for the tickets.
