b. 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.
7. Disclaimer of Warranties and Assumption of Risks by Youa. To the extent allowed under applicable laws, they are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis.

ii. the Services will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free; or

b. We have no control over and do not guarantee the (i) quality, safety, success, accuracy, or legality of any event or Site Content associated with an event, (ii) accuracy of any information provided by Users (including Feedback and Consumers' personal infor mation shared with Organisers in connection with events), or (iii) ability of any User to complete a transaction.
c. We are not liable for the acts or omissions of any third parties, including third parties that help us provide the Services, that an Organiser chooses to assist with an event, or that you choose to use or agreement with when using the Services.

7.3 Most events on our platform are not hosted by EventMaster, but if and when you participate in one that is, you assume all risks.When you attend an event hosted by us, you waive any and all claims and causes of action against the EventMaster Released Parties, the event producers and presenters, and their insurers, for liability, including for personal injury, property damage or wrongful death in connection with your attendance at the event.

9. 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 d iscovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.
9.1 Contact us first if you have an issue with our Services.
You agree that if you have a question or concern about the Services, you will contact us at support@eventmaster.ie, prior to initiating any legal proceeding. Our customer support team will try to answer your question or resolve your concern.
9.2 If a dispute can't be resolved between us, it must be resolved through arbitration.In the unlikely event that our customer support team is unable to resolve your concerns, you and we each agree to resolve all disputes and claims between you and us, including any arising under or relating to these Terms, your use of the Services, or your and our relationship, through binding arbitration or (to the extent the claim qualifies) in small claims court, instead of in courts of general jurisdiction. As explained below, the appointed arbitrator will have authority to enter all relief that would be available in court, to the extent warranted by the claims. All arbitrations and small claims proceedings will proceed 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, co nsolidated or representative proceeding. Binding arbitration is subject to very limited review. Only the appointed arbitrator - and not any court - will have the authority to resolve any dispute relating to this Section, including any dispute regarding the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of these Terms. This arbitration provision will survive termination of these Terms and any other agreement between you and us.
9.3 Our agreement to arbitrate applies to almost all claims.a. This agreement to arbitrate applies to all legal disputes between you and us. It includes, but is not limited to: (i) all claims relating to any aspect of the relationship between you and us, whether based in agreement, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory; (ii) all claims that arose before this or any prior agreement (including claims relating to advertising); and (iii) all claims that may arise after termination of these Terms and/or your use of the Services.
b. Notwithstanding this agreement to arbitrate, you or we may choose to bring:
i. an action on an individual basis in small claims court (to the extent the applicable claim qualifies); or
ii. enforcement actions, validity determinations or claims relating to theft, piracy or unauthorised use of intellectual property to protect your or our Intellectual Property Rights. " Intellectual Property Rights" means patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets, but not privacy or publicity rights.
9.4 We both agree to not bring a class action.a. YOU AND EVENTMASTER 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, AND MAY NOT PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY (IF WARRANTED) ISSUE ALL OF THE SAME RELIEF THAT WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN COURT, INCLUDING PUBLIC INJUNCTIVE RELIEF, IN FAVOR OF THE PARTY SEEKING SUCH RELIEF, BUT ONLY TO THE EXTENT AUTHORIZED BY LAW AND WARRANTED BY THE PARTY'S CLAIMS.
You and we each acknowledge that different arbitrations may present overlapping factual or legal issues. As such, to the fullest allowable extent, you and we each agree that in the event one of you or us initiates an arbitration against the other and we determine, in our sole discretion, that such arbitration presents one or more questions of fact or law that are also at issue in a pending arbitration between us and a third party (a "Similar Arbitration"), the arbitration involving you will, at our request, be assigned to the same arbitrator presiding over the Similar Arbitration and/or be paused until the Similar Arbitration is resolved. Any rulings in any Similar Arbitration will not be binding in the arbitration involving you.
9.5 Notice must be given when one of us intends to seek arbitration.A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other a written Notice of Dispute (" Dispute Notice"). The Dispute Notice to EventMaster must be addressed to the following address (" Notice Address") and must be sent by certified mail: EventMaster, Unit 27, Tait Business Center, Dominic Street, Limerick, Ireland. Dispute Notices to you will be addressed to a mailing, home, or payment address currently on record with EventMaster and must be sent by certified mail. If we have no records of a physical address, our Dispute Notice may be delivered to your EventMaster account email address. The Dispute Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. If EventMaster and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Dispute Notice is sent, you or EventMaster may commence an arbitration proceeding.
9.6 This is how we decide who's responsible for the costs of legal fees.a. Payment of Legal Fees. Just as in any court proceeding, each party will initially bear its own legal 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 legal fees and expenses that it incurred in connection with the arbitration, provided that to the extent that the dispute or claim relate to your personal use of the Services (rather than business use) EventMaster will not seek to recover its legal fees and expenses in an arbitration initiated by you unless the arbitrator determines that your claims were frivolous as set forth above. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the reimbursement of legal fees and expenses upon request from either party made within fourteen (14) days of the arbitrator's ruling on the merits.
9.7 If you want to opt out of our agreement to arbitrate, you must notify us in time.You have the right to opt out and not be bound by the arbitration or class action waiver provisions set forth above in this Section 9 by sending (from the email address we associate with you as a User) written notice of your decision to opt-out to support@eventmaster.ie. Please include the following in 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 these provisions. Note that if you opt out of these arbitration provisions, EventMaster also will not be bound by them.

All such sub-domains are solely our property and we reserve the right to determine the appearance, design, functionality, and all other aspects of such sub-domains.

14. Fees and Refunds.Creating an account and listing an event are free. However, we charge fees when you sell or buy paid tickets or registrations. These fees may vary based on individual agreements between us and certain Organisers. In some cases, Organisers may determine whether these fees will be passed along to Consumers and shown as "Fees" on the applicable event page or absorbed into the ticket or registration price and paid by the Organiser out of ticket and registration gross proceeds. The fees charged to Consumers may include other charges, including facility fees, royalties, taxes, processing fees, and fulfilment fees. This means that the fees paid by Consumers for an event are not necessarily the same as those charged by us to the applicable Organiser or the standard fees. In addition, some fees are meant to defray costs incurred by us, but may in some cases include an element of profit and in some cases include an element of loss. We do not control (and cannot disclose) fees levied by your bank and/or credit card company, including fees for purchasing tickets and registrations in foreign currencies or from foreign persons. Be sure to check with your bank or credit card company prior to purchasing to understand all applicable fees, credit card surcharges, and currency conversion rates.

If you are unable to reach the Organiser, or the Organiser is unable to arrange a ticket transfer, please contact support@eventmaster.ie and we might be able to accommodate this for you.
14.3 Consumers requesting a refund should contact the Organiser. Consumers must not use a ticket that has been refunded, and Organisers must not accept invalid tickets.a. Because all transactions are between an Organiser and its Consumers, we ask that all Consumers contact the applicable Organiser of their event with any refund requests.
b. If you are a Consumer and you receive a refund for your ticket, you will discard the ticket and will not use it (or any copy of it) to attend the event. Violation of this is fraud.
c. If you are an Organiser, you acknowledge that the applicable procedure to check the validity of the ticket must always be followed, including the checking in with the EventMaster app for organisers.
d. We will not be liable under any circumstances for any costs arising from Organisers' non-compliance with the procedures that must be implemented by Organisers to check the validity of tickets. We will not be liable under any circumstances for costs and/or damage arising from ticket-related fraud and/or the purchase of the ticket through non-official means, such as third parties.
