  • Account Creation; Fees. Creating an account and listing an Event are free. However, We charge fees when User sells (for Organizers) or buys (for Attendees) paid tickets or registrations. These fees may vary based on individual agreements between Us and certain Organizers. In some cases, Organizers may determine whether these fees will be passed along to Attendees and shown as "Fees" on the applicable Event webpage or absorbed into the ticket or registration price and paid by the Organizer out of ticket and registration gross proceeds. The fees charged to Attendees may include Our service fees and other charges, including taxes and credit card payment processing fees. This means that the fees paid by Attendees for an Event are not necessarily the same as those charged by Us to the applicable Organizer or the standard fees described on the Services to Organizers. 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 User's bank or credit card company, including fees for purchasing tickets and registrations in foreign currencies or from foreign persons. User is responsible for checking with User's bank or credit card company prior to purchasing to understand all applicable fees, credit card surcharges, and currency conversion rates.

    26. Governing Law; Jurisdiction for Legal Disputes Not Subject to Arbitration Will Be Handled in Bozeman, MT

For any actions not subject to arbitration, User and the Company hereby irrevocably agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of a state court located in Bozeman, MT or the United States District Court for Montana including for all matters relating to the Site, other Services, Material, Products and these Terms of Use and any Claim arising therefrom or related thereto. These Terms of Use and the relationship between User and the Company shall be in all respects governed by and construed under the laws of the State of Montana, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule, except that the Federal Arbitration Act governs all provisions relating to arbitration.

    27. Dispute Resolution, Arbitration and Class Action Waiver

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT USER'S LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING USER'S RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT. Please read it carefully as it provides that User and the Company will waive any right to file a lawsuit in court or participate in a class action for matters within the terms of this section.

We encourage User to contact Us if User has an issue, as most issues can be resolved without the involvement of a court or arbitrator. If negotiations do not resolve any disputes relating to User's use of the Site, other Services, Material, Products or these Terms of Use, User and We agree to this arbitration provision.

Using or accessing the Site, other Services or Material (and otherwise agreeing to the Terms of Use) constitutes User's acceptance of this arbitration provision and User's agreement that any Claims will be resolved by confidential, binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that (i) User or the Company may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or misuse of Intellectual Property Rights; and (ii) User may assert Claims in small claims court if User's Claims qualify.

SUBJECT TO THE FOREGOING, ALL DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OF USE OR ANY ASPECT OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN USER AND THE COMPANY, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, STATUTE, FRAUD, MISREPRESENTATION, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, WILL BE RESOLVED THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION BEFORE A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR INSTEAD OF IN A COURT BY A JUDGE OR JURY, AND USER AGREES THAT THE COMPANY AND USER ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND TO HAVE A TRIAL BY A JURY. USER AGREES THAT ANY ARBITRATION WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND THAT CLASS ACTIONS AND CLASS ARBITRATIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED HEREUNDER AND USER ARE IRREVOCABLY AGREEING TO GIVE UP THE ABILITY TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR CLASS ARBITRATION. CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE END USER, ORGANIZER, ATTENDEE, CUSTOMER, INDIVIDUAL OR ENTITY CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER END USER, ORGANIZER, ATTENDEE, CUSTOMER, INDIVIDUAL OR ENTITY. The arbitration will be administered by Judicial Arbitration Mediation Services, Inc. ("JAMS") pursuant to the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures effective July 1, 2014 (the "JAMS Rules") and as modified by this arbitration provision. The JAMS Rules, including instructions for bringing arbitration, are available on the JAMS website at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration. The JAMS minimum standards for arbitration procedures are available at https://www.jamsadr.com/consumer-minimum-standards/.

The arbitrator will conduct hearings, if any, by teleconference or videoconference, rather than by personal appearances, unless the arbitrator determines upon request by User or by Us that an in-person hearing is appropriate. Any in-person appearances will be held at a location which is reasonably convenient to both Parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the Parties are unable to agree on a location, such determination should be made by JAMS or by the arbitrator. The arbitrator's decision will follow the provisions of these Terms of Use and will be final and binding. The arbitrator will have authority to award temporary, interim, or permanent injunctive relief or relief providing for specific performance of these Terms of Use but only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the individual Claim before the arbitrator. The award rendered by the arbitrator may be confirmed and enforced in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, nothing in these Terms of Use will preclude User from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies and, if the law allows, they can seek relief against Us for User.

For any actions not subject to arbitration, User and the Company hereby irrevocably agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of a state court located in Bozeman, MT or the United States District Court for Montana including for all matters relating to the Site, other Services, Material, Products and these Terms of Use and any Claim arising therefrom or related thereto. These Terms of Use and the relationship between User and the Company shall be in all respects governed by and construed under the laws of the State of Montana, without regard to its conflict of law provisions, except that the Federal Arbitration Act governs all provisions relating to arbitration.

    28. Waiver and Severability

No waiver by the Company of any term or condition set out in these Terms of Use shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of the Company to assert a right or provision under these Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

If any provision of these Terms of Use is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of the Terms of Use will continue in full force and effect.

    29. Entire Agreement; Construction
