Metcove Event Organizer Accounts to collect fees for their e-Ticketing online through the Web. support and other extended service providers may come to the Metcove web site, fill out a questionnaire about their offerings, including pricing, location, etc., and collect fees online directly from their buyers.

As used herein, "Customers" means Metcove event holders ("Metcove Event Organizer Accounts"), registered event attendees ("Metcove Events Accounts") and participants in current or future referral programs.

3. PAYMENT PROCESSING INFORMATION

There are two types of payment processing options when using Metcove: 1. Self Service (collecting registration fees using PayPal, Google Checkout, or offline methods) and 2. Full Service (using Metcove payment processing gateway). Depending on the payment processing option you choose when using Metcove, monetary collections will be made by you directly (Self Service) or by Metcove (Full Service). While both menthods are described below, only the Full Service method is currently supported.

A. Self Service

When transacting through PayPal or Google Checkout (ESPM), it is necessary that Metcove users and paying Customers transact through ESPM, and be subject to the applicable ESPM Terms of Use. Metcove is not affiliated with any ESPM, and neither is the agent or employee of the other, and neither is responsible in any way for the actions or performance (or lack thereof) of the other. The same is true with respect to Metcove on the one hand and Metcove Customers and their customers on the other hand. To the extent that the SERVICE is rendered in conjunction with any other provider of services, the same shall also be true, namely that to the extent that a user of the SERVICE hereunder does so in conjunction with the services of another service provider, such user will be subject to the other service provider's terms of service, and neither Metcove or the other service provider will be considered the agent or employee of the other, and neither will be responsible in any way for the actions or performance (or lack thereof) of the other. The terms of this TOS shall not in any way supersede the terms of any other service provider, nor shall the terms of service of any other service provider supersede the terms of this TOS with respect to the SERVICE.

You will collect all monies directly and by signing up for and using Metcove, you agree to submit payment to Metcove for service charges owed upon receipt of the Invoice (sent monthly for service charges incurred in the previous month). For more information: http://www.Metcove.com/fees

You accept the responsibility to provide refunds to Ticket Buyers at your own discretion. Metcove will not be held liable for refunds or lack thereof during the use of ESPM.

B. Full Service

When payment processing occurs directly by Metcove, it is necessary that Metcove and Customers transact through the Gateway and be subject to the applicable Gateway Terms of Use.

Metcove will collect all monies on behalf of the Event Organizer ("You") and deduct all applicable service charges from registration fees as stated here: http://www.Metcove.com /fees. Metcove will mail all payments to you (event monies minus service charges) at the address that you accurrately provide on the Metcove Web Site. We will submit payment for one hundred percent (100%) of the total balance due to you five (5) business days after the Event end date, however, we reserve the right to withhold funds at any time as we determine to be necessary for the processing and settlement of all returns, disputed charges, and other discrepancies. All sales, fees, charges, and funds are payable in U.S. Dollars.

It is the responsibility of the Event Organizer to request refunds from Metcove on the behalf of the Ticket Buyer. It is the responsibility of Metcove to make the refund to the individual Ticket Buyer, unless the allowed Refund time allowance of 96 hours past the Event end date. If the Event is cancelled for any reason and a complete refund must be issued to all Ticket Buyers, the Event Organizer must inform Metcove of the cancellation within 24 hours of the originally scheduled event start time. Metcove will handle all refunds for cancelled events and the buyer will be refunded within thirty (30) days of the date of the cancelled event. No payments shall be made to you from Metcove due to an Event cancellation. If an Event is rescheduled for a different date and a Ticket Buyer cannot attend the new date, the Ticket Buyer will receive a full refund and the applicable service charges will be deducted from the check issued to you after the new event. Any credit card chargebacks initiated by the Ticket Buyer for any reason, with the exception of fraudulent use of the credit card, shall be charged back to you. Metcove shall either (i) deduct these costs from your outstanding balance, whether for that particular Event or for any other Event that you list with Metcove; or (ii) send an invoice to you for said costs if no balance exists. If payment for said invoice is not received by Metcove within thirty (30) days, Metcove reserves the right, at our sole discretion, to terminate this Agreement and to cancel all other Events listed by you as provided herein.

Upon receipt of a credit card authorization from each individual ticket purchase, Metcove generates a confirmation message and issues a unique confirmation number. You agree to unconditionally accept, honor, and fulfill all ticketing commitments that have been confirmed by Metcove. It is Your responsibility to verify the customer's membership status, confirmation number, and/or any event restrictions prior to the Event.

4. TICKET BUYER REFUND POLICY

As it applies solely to the Full Service agreement (Section 3B, iii), the Ticket Buyer shall request a refund from the Event Organizer within 96 hours of the Event end date. Metcove will honor refund requests from the Event Organizer within the Refund time allowance of 96 hours past the Event date. Refunds will be initiated by Metcove and applied to the original form of purchase by the Ticket Buyer within thirty (30) days of Event end date.
