Legal Rights & Agreement Rules · Restriction or exception

Disputes go to individual arbitration or small claims court, with a 30-day opt-out

The notice at the top warns that Section 9 contains a binding arbitration and class action waiver that may affect your legal rights. In general, disputes with Eventbrite are settled by binding arbitration, or in small claims court when the claim qualifies, and only on an individual basis, so class, consolidated and representative actions are waived by each party. Two exceptions are named: either side may bring an individual small claims case, and either side may go to court for enforcement, validity or theft, piracy or unauthorized-use claims about intellectual property. You can opt out of the arbitration and class waiver by emailing legal@eventbrite.com within 30 days of first using the Services or agreeing to the Terms, whichever is later, and if you opt out Eventbrite is not bound by them either. The detailed arbitration rules are explained in the cards for Section 9.

The Terms also say that your obligations, duties, warranties, representations, releases and waivers are also those of your Affiliates, so a business user's commitments extend to its own affiliated entities.

You promise, continuously, that you follow export and sanctions laws and are not a restricted party

Eventbrite says it must follow export controls and economic sanctions laws (called Trade Controls), and tells you to learn these restrictions regardless of where you are or where your events are. You represent and warrant, on a continuing basis, that your use of the Services will always comply with applicable Trade Controls, and that you are not a person or entity that is the target of Trade Controls restrictions.

Legal Rights & Agreement Rules · Restriction or exception

Organizers must also indemnify Eventbrite for their events, content and trademarks, except for gross negligence

If you are an Organizer, your indemnity also covers Claims relating to Your Eventbrite Events, including where Eventbrite provided Services for those events, and to Your Content and Your Trademarks. For this item only, the indemnification does not apply to the extent the Claim arises out of Eventbrite's gross negligence or willful misconduct. The item refers to its limit as applying 'in the case of (vii)'; the indemnity items are lettered A to G, and G is the seventh item and the only Organizer item.

Supporting quotations

Qualifications & exceptions

  • Applies only if you are an Organizer.

Legal Rights & Agreement Rules · Procedure

Eventbrite will give notice of claims, but late notice only helps you if you are materially prejudiced

Eventbrite says it will notify you of any such Claim. A failure or delay in giving notice does not reduce your indemnification obligations, except to the extent you are materially prejudiced by it. In certain circumstances Eventbrite may choose to handle the Claim itself, and you then agree to cooperate with it in any way it requests.

Supporting quotations

We will provide notice to you of any such Claim, but our failure or delay in providing such notice will not limit your indemnification obligations except to the extent you are materially prejudiced by such failure.
Also, in certain circumstances, we may choose to handle the Claim ourselves, in which case you agree to cooperate with us in any way we request.

Qualifications & exceptions

  • Late or missing notice limits your duty only to the extent you are materially prejudiced.
  • Eventbrite 'may choose' to take over the Claim; this is discretionary.

Not stated here

  • 'Certain circumstances' in which Eventbrite may handle the Claim itself are not defined.
  • The text does not say who pays for Eventbrite's own handling of a Claim, though the indemnity covers costs and expenses.

The Services come 'as is' and 'as available' with all warranties disclaimed, to the extent the law allows

To the extent allowed under applicable laws, the Services (including Beta Services) are provided 'as is' and 'as available', and Eventbrite expressly disclaims all warranties of any kind, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, title, non-infringement and fitness for a particular purpose. For example, it makes no warranty that the Services will meet your requirements or expectations, that they will be uninterrupted, timely, secure or error-free, or that results from using them will be accurate or reliable. The disclaimers apply to the maximum extent permitted by law, and if applicable law requires any warranties, they are limited to the shortest duration allowed. 'Including' introduces examples, so the lists are not complete.

Supporting quotations

We strive to provide Services in the way you need them, but there are some things we can’t promise.
To the extent allowed under applicable laws, the Services (including the Beta Services, defined below) are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. Eventbrite expressly disclaims all warranties of any kind, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, title, non-infringement, and fitness for a particular purpose. For example, we make no warranty that:
the Services (or any portion of the Services) will meet your requirements or expectations;
the Services will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free; or
the results that may be obtained from the use of the Services will be accurate or reliable.
The disclaimers will apply so long as they are allowed under law.
The disclaimers in these Terms apply to the maximum extent permitted by law. If any warranties are required by applicable law, they will be limited to the shortest duration allowed.
As used in these Terms, “including” means “including, but not limited to.”

Qualifications & exceptions

  • Applies 'to the extent allowed under applicable laws' and 'to the maximum extent permitted by law'; where the law requires warranties, they remain but for the shortest allowed duration.
  • The three 'no warranty' items are examples ('For example'), not a complete list.

Not stated here

Disputes go to binding individual arbitration or small claims court; you give up court, jury and class actions

You and Eventbrite each agree to resolve all disputes and claims between you, including ones about the Terms, your use of the Services or your relationship, through binding arbitration, or in small claims court to the extent the claim qualifies, instead of in courts of general jurisdiction. Everything proceeds on an individual basis, and each party waives class, consolidated and representative arbitrations and civil actions. The text says both sides understand they would otherwise be able to sue in court with a jury trial, that arbitration costs could in some instances exceed litigation costs, and that discovery may be more limited in arbitration. Limited exceptions to the individual-only rule are a 'Similar Arbitration' with a third party that may be consolidated by agreement of all parties or by the arbitrator under the AAA Rules, and 'Batch' arbitration of 25 or more similar claims brought within 90 days by the same or coordinated counsel. Other exceptions are small claims court and certain intellectual property court actions (see the scope card), and you may opt out within 30 days (see the opt-out card).

The arbitrator decides arbitrability; review is very limited; the clause survives and the FAA governs

The appointed arbitrator can award all relief that would be available in court, to the extent warranted by the claims. Binding arbitration is subject to very limited review. Only the appointed arbitrator, and not any court, decides any dispute about this Section, including disputes about its scope, enforceability and whether a dispute is arbitrable. The arbitration provision survives termination of the Terms and any other agreement between you and Eventbrite. The Terms say they evidence a transaction in interstate commerce, so the interpretation and enforcement of Section 9 is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, notwithstanding the choice of law set forth in what the text calls Section 9.8.

It includes, but is not limited to, all claims about any aspect of the relationship under any legal theory (contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or other), claims that arose before this or any prior agreement (including claims relating to advertising), and claims that arise after the Terms or your use end. Despite that, either side may choose to bring an individual action in small claims court (to the extent the claim qualifies), or bring enforcement actions, validity determinations or claims about theft, piracy or unauthorized use of intellectual property to protect either side's Intellectual Property Rights. Intellectual Property Rights means patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks and trade secrets, not privacy or publicity rights.

A single arbitrator is picked by the AAA rank-and-strike process

You and Eventbrite agree to choose an arbitrator through a 'rank and strike' process run by the American Arbitration Association. The AAA proposes at least ten candidates.

As a Consumer you can have hearings in your county or by phone; claims of $10,000 or less can be decided on documents

If you are a Consumer, arbitration hearings take place at your option in the county where you live or by phone. If you are a Consumer who lives outside the United States, the hearing is in San Francisco, California or by phone or videoconference, at your option and as the AAA Rules permit. If your use of the Services is or was commercial, hearings take place in the United States in a reasonably convenient location for both parties unless you and Eventbrite agree otherwise, and if you cannot agree the AAA decides. For a claim of $10,000 or less, the arbitration is decided on submitted documents or through a phone or in-person hearing at your option; above $10,000, the AAA Rules decide the right to a hearing. In every case the arbitrator issues a reasoned written decision, the decision is final and binding, and the award can be entered in any court with jurisdiction.

If your use of the Services is or was for commercial use, then unless Eventbrite and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in the United States in a reasonably convenient location for both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances.
If your claim is for ten thousand dollars ($10,000) or less, the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator or through a telephonic or in-person hearing at your option. If your claim exceeds ten thousand dollars ($10,000), the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules.
If the parties are unable to agree on a location, or in the case of Batch arbitration per Section 9.9 belowAAA will determine the location.
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.

Qualifications & exceptions

Twenty-five or more similar claims by the same counsel within 90 days are arbitrated in batches of up to 50

If, within a 90-day period, 25 or more claimants submit Dispute Notices or file arbitrations raising similar claims (the same or similar facts or events and legal issues) and are represented by the same or coordinated counsel, the disputes must be arbitrated in batches of up to 50 claimants each. On notice from either side, the AAA groups them into one Batch if there are 25 to 50 claimants, or Batches of 50 with a smaller final Batch for the rest. Each Batch is resolved as a single consolidated arbitration with one AAA-appointed arbitrator, one set of arbitration fees and one hearing (if any), held at a reasonably convenient location the AAA chooses or by phone or video conference at your option. Eventbrite and you agree to cooperate in good faith, and challenges to the AAA's administrative decisions are heard by a single process arbitrator. If this Section is found unenforceable for a particular claimant or Batch, it is severed as to them and they must arbitrate individually.

AAA shall thereafter provide for the resolution of each Batch as a single consolidated arbitration with a single arbitrator appointed by AAA, one set of arbitration fees, and one hearing (if any) per Batch, to be held at a reasonably convenient location as determined by AAA in accordance with the AAA Rules, or by phone or video conference at your option.
If this Section 9.9 is deemed unenforceable as to a particular claimant or Batch, then it will be severed as to that claimant or Batch, and those parties must arbitrate in individual proceedings.

California law governs; disputes outside arbitration go to San Francisco courts, with local consumer protections kept

Disputes that cannot be resolved under the arbitration agreement are resolved in the courts of San Francisco under California law. The Terms are governed by California law without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and those laws apply wherever you live. If you live outside the United States, you may still be entitled to the mandatory consumer protection provisions of your local consumer protection law. Eventbrite is based in San Francisco, and any legal action against it related to the Services that is not subject to the Section 9 arbitration provisions takes place in San Francisco. By agreeing to the Terms, you submit to the personal jurisdiction of the state or federal courts in San Francisco County, California.

Eventbrite is not responsible for third-party websites or what you buy from third parties through them

It does not endorse and is not responsible or liable for any Site Content, advertising, offers, products, services or other materials on those websites, or for any damages or losses related to them, even if they are connected with its partners or third-party service providers.

Eventbrite's non-enforcement is not a waiver; unenforceable parts are trimmed, and only written changes count

If Eventbrite does not enforce a part of the Terms, that does not waive its right to enforce it or any other part later. Except as the Terms expressly say, using one remedy does not prevent Eventbrite from using its other remedies. No oral waiver, amendment or modification of the Terms is effective. If a provision is found unenforceable, that part is limited to the minimum extent necessary and the rest of the Terms stay in full force and effect. The Terms do not create an independent contractor, agency, partnership, joint venture or similar relationship between you and Eventbrite.

No oral waiver, amendment, or modification of these Terms will be effective.

How to read the Terms: 'may' is discretionary, 'will' means must, 'including' is open, summaries have no legal effect

When the Terms say Eventbrite 'may' or has the right or permission to do something, it may, but is not obligated to, and decides in its sole discretion; its determinations, decisions or beliefs under the Terms may also be made in its sole discretion. 'Including' means 'including, but not limited to'. When the Terms say you 'will' do something, you are agreeing to do it and must. Your obligations, duties, warranties, representations, releases and waivers are also those of your Affiliates. Section titles and subtitles, and the italicized text after them, are for convenience only, have no legal or contractual effect and are not legal advice, so the short plain-language lines under headings are not binding terms by themselves.

Supporting quotations

Section titles and subtitles in these Terms, along with the italicized text following them, are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect and do not amount to legal advice.
When we say Eventbrite “may” or has the right, is permitted, authorized, or allowed to do something in these Terms, it means we may, but are not obligated to, exercise the applicable rights or options or take the applicable action, as we determine in our sole discretion. Any determinations, decisions, or beliefs by us under these Terms may be made by us in our sole discretion.
As used in these Terms, “including” means “including, but not limited to.” When these Terms say that you “will” take an action, this means that you are agreeing to take the action and that you must take that action.
Your obligations, duties, warranties, representations, releases, and waivers throughout these Terms are also the obligations, duties, warranties, representations, releases, and waivers of your Affiliates.

Qualifications & exceptions

  • The summary lines under headings are described as having no legal or contractual effect.
  • These reading rules apply to the whole Terms.

Not stated here

  • The extracted text does not show italics, so which lines are the 'italicized text' is not shown in this copy.
