1. Who We Are.

1.1 Lavdance.

1.2 The Services.

Lavdance’s websites and domains, including www.lavdance.com, and all of the webpages, subdomains, country level domain variants and subparts of those websites (collectively, our “Site”), all of the services available on or through the Site or otherwise provided by us (including our application programming interfaces), and all of our free mobile applications (collectively, the “Applications”) are owned, offered, maintained and provided by Lavdance. We refer to all of these as our “Services.”

1.3 Users.

Through the Services, Lavdance provides a simple and quick means for registered users who are event organizers, planners and charitable organizations (“Organizers”) to create event registration, speaker profile, organizer profile, fundraising and other webpages related to their events, to promote those pages and events to visitors or browsers of the Services and to sell tickets and registrations (or issue free registrations), solicit donations and sell merchandise related to those events to users who wish to make purchases, registrations or donations from or to such events (including to free events) (“Attendees”). We refer to Organizers, Attendees and other visitors and browsers of the Services collectively as “Users” or “you.”

3. Your Acceptance.

3.1 Binding Agreement.

You agree to these Terms of Service and you enter into a binding contract with Lavdance either when you sign up for a registered account by clicking “Sign Up,” “Register Now,” “Get Started” or similar buttons, or if you are an unregistered Attendee, when you purchase a ticket to or register for an event (including free events) or purchase merchandise, a service or make a donation related to an event, in each case by clicking “Pay Now,” “Register Now,” “Buy Now” or similar buttons, or in accordance with Section 3.2 below. If you are not a registered user or an unregistered Attendee, you agree to these Terms of Service and you enter into a binding contract with Lavdance by downloading Applications or using, accessing or browsing any part of the Services. If you do not agree to any portion of these Terms of Service, do not use or access the Services. If you will be using the Services on behalf of an entity, you agree to these Terms of Service on behalf of that entity and its affiliates and you represent that you have the authority to do so. In such case, “you” and “your” will refer to that entity. If you do not have such authority, or if you do not agree to any portion of these Terms of Service, do not use or access the Services.

THESE TERMS OF SERVICE INCLUDE (A) CERTAIN DISCLAIMERS OF WARRANTIES ON BEHALF OF LAVDANCE; (B) CERTAIN LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY FOR THE BENEFIT OF LAVDANCE; AND (C) A RELEASE BY YOU OF ALL CLAIMS FOR DAMAGE AGAINST LAVDANCE ARISING OUT OF DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND THIRD PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES. BY USING ANY OF THE SERVICES, YOU AGREE TO THESE PROVISIONS.

3.2 Modifications.

Lavdance reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to modify or replace any of the terms or conditions of these Terms of Service (or any of the agreements that make up these Terms of Service) at any time (collectively, “Modifications”). Modifications to these Terms of Service will be posted to the www.lavdance.com website with a change to the "Updated” date at the top of these Terms of Service. In certain circumstances Lavdance may provide you with additional notice of such Modifications, via email or with in-Service notifications. Modifications will be effective thirty (30) days following the "Updated” date or such other date as communicated in any other notice to you, except that changes addressing new functions of the Services or which do not impose any additional burdens or obligations on you will be effective immediately. It is your responsibility to check these Terms of Service periodically for Modifications. Your continued use of the Services following the effectiveness of any Modifications to these Terms of Service constitutes acceptance of those Modifications as well. If any Modification to these Terms of Service is not acceptable to you, you must cease accessing, browsing and otherwise using the Services. Other than as set forth in this paragraph, these Terms of Service may only be modified through a written Ticketing Services Agreement or written Addendum Agreement, signed by you and an authorized officer of Lavdance.

6.2 Disclaimer of Warranties.

LAVDANCE PROVIDES OUR SERVICES USING A COMMERCIALLY REASONABLE LEVEL OF SKILL AND CARE AND WE TRY TO KEEP THE SITE UP, BUG-FREE AND SAFE. BUT THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS THAT WE DON’T PROMISE ABOUT OUR SERVICES AND YOU USE THE SERVICES AT YOUR OWN RISK. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAWS, THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. LAVDANCE HEREBY 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.

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.

6.3 Limitation of Liability.

6.4 Release.

Lavdance provides a marketplace in which Attendees and Organizers can transact. However, Lavdance could not function if it were held responsible for the actions or inactions of different Attendees, Organizers and/or third parties both on and off the Services. Therefore, as an inducement to Lavdance permitting you to access and use the Services, you hereby agree to release Lavdance, and its affiliates and subsidiaries, and each of its and their respective officers, directors, agents, partners and employees 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 or in any way connected with disputes between you and third parties (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 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."

The offering of the Services shall not be construed as granting, by implication, estoppel, or otherwise, any license or right to use any Trademark displayed in connection with the Services without the prior written consent of Lavdance specific for each such use. The Trademarks may not be used to disparage Lavdance, any third party or Lavdance’s or such third party’s products or services, or in any manner that may damage any goodwill in the Trademarks. Use of any Trademarks as part of a link to or from any site is prohibited unless Lavdance approves the establishment of such a link by prior written consent specific for each such link. All goodwill generated from the use of any Lavdance Trademark shall inure to Lavdance’s benefit.
