8       REGISTRATION SERVICE

8.1      Event Registration Process

8.1.1    If you would like to use the Registration Service, you will need to login using your account details and password or sign in as a guest. This will enable you to start the event registration process (“Event Registration Process”). As part of the Event Registration Process, we may collect certain registration information that is required by the Event Organizer or where the Event Organizer uses a third party booking agent (“Ticket Seller”), the relevant Ticket Seller. Such information may include (but will not be limited to) name, address, contact details, date of birth, gender, previous performance information, and details of any health issues (“Registration Information”).

8.1.2    To the extent you have already provided us with Registration Information for a previous Event, we may use the Registration Information you have already provided unless you indicate otherwise during the Event Registration Process.

8.1.3    During the Event Registration Process, you may be offered products and/or services related to the Event which are provided by the Event Organizer or third parties with whom the Event Organizer has a relationship, such as car parking, spectator tickets or Event merchandise (“Additional Products”).

8.1.4    Event Organizers provide us with, or publish directly onto the Services, information and content about or relating to their Events (“Event Information”). Event Organizers are responsible for their Events and all Event Information. On the Event sign up page, you may find certain Event Information. This Event Information may include (but not be limited to) any applicable Event Terms, Ticket Seller terms and conditions, terms relating to any Additional Products, waivers and/or other documentation or terms that you are required to accept in order to participate in the relevant Event or purchase Additional Products which you have selected (“Event Terms”). We recommend that you read these Event Terms very carefully as they will govern your participation in the Event and contain important information such as the Event Organizer’s and your rights of cancellation and your right to a refund in relation to the Event and any Additional Products you select. They will also likely contain important exclusions and limitations on the Event Organizer’s or Ticket Seller’s liability in respect of the Event and may in certain circumstances require you to waive certain rights you may have.

8.2      Signing-up others

8.2.1    For some Events you may be permitted to enroll or register friends, family, colleagues or other persons for who you have authority to sign up to the Event and/or buy Additional Products for (“Other Participants”). If you enroll Other Participants for an Event using the Event Registration Process you are confirming that:

8.2.2    you have authority from all Other Participants to enroll them in an Event and to provide their Registration Information;

8.2.3    you have provided all Other Participants with the Event Terms and they accept the Event Terms;

8.2.4    all Other Participants agree that we, the Event Organizer or Ticket Seller may contact them in relation to the Event and/or Additional Products, and (as applicable) in accordance with the Event Terms; and

8.2.5    you will take responsibility for all Other Participants’ compliance with the Event Terms.

8.3      Your “Order” will consist of all registrations you submit to us (whether for you and/or any Other Participants) and/or any Additional Products that you select during the Event Registration Process.

8.4      Once you have provided the relevant Registration Information and indicated your agreement to the relevant Event Terms, we may act (and you hereby authorize us, on your behalf and as your agent), to submit your Order to the Event Organizer or Ticket Seller (as applicable). This includes (but is not limited to) authorizing us to do the following on your behalf:

8.4.1    submit the relevant Registration Information (for you and any Other Participants) to the Event Organizer or Ticket Seller as applicable;

8.4.2    submit an order for any Additional Products you have selected;

8.4.3    accept the Event Terms; and

8.4.4    liaise directly with the Event Organizer in respect of the Event.

 

9       PAYMENT

9.1      During the Event Registration Process, we will notify you of the cost of your Order (including but not limited to any booking fees, payment processing fees, and other fees as may be notified to you) (the “Price”).

9.2      Payment of the Price via the Services must be made by one of the payment methods made available by the Services at that time. By submitting your credit or debit card details or, when available, your other payment details (such as for example, Apple Pay or PayPal) (your “Payment Method”) you are representing that you are the card holder of the Payment Method, or are expressly authorized to use such Payment Method.

9.3      In order to submit an Order on your behalf, you must pay the full Price directly to us using your selected Payment Method. Before we submit an Order on your behalf, we will either need to take full payment of the Price or obtain an irrevocable pre-authorization from your Payment Method for the full Price. Once the Event Organizer or its Ticket Seller has confirmed your Order (or any part of it) a binding contract will be formed between you and the Event Organizer or their Ticket Seller, as applicable. Any refunds owed to you in connection with the Event will be subject to any relevant Event Terms.

9.4      We reserve the right to cancel any Order in the event that we identify any error or inaccuracy in the description of an Event or its Price. In such event, we will cancel such an Order and will process any applicable refund in a manner consistent with the relevant Event Terms.

 

10    OUR OBLIGATIONS

10.1   Once you have completed the Event Registration Process and we have received the Price, we will:

10.2   submit the Order to the Event Organizer or Ticket Seller (as applicable); and

10.3   send a confirmation of the acceptance of the Order as soon as practicable following the Event Organizer or Ticket Seller’s confirmation of receipt.

10.4   We are acting solely as an intermediary between you and the Event Organizer regarding the Event, and the completion of the Event Registration Process does not provide any guarantee that you or any Other Participants will be able to participate in such Event or that Additional Products will be supplied. Only once we have submitted your Order and received a confirmation email from the relevant Event Organizer or Ticket Seller that your Order (or any part of your Order) has been accepted will a binding contract be formed between you and the Event Organizer or Ticket Seller (as applicable). As soon as practicable we will communicate this to you. If your Order or any part of it is rejected by an Event Organizer or Ticket Seller (as applicable) we will refund to you the relevant amount of the Price, or, if we have only taken an irrevocable pre-authorization from your Payment Method, we will cancel the relevant part of the pre-authorization and only take payment in respect of any elements of your Order which have been accepted.

10.5   We may promote or refer to some Events for which the relevant Event Organizer has not signed up as an Event Organizer with us, and for which we cannot therefore offer our Registration Service. If you want to sign up for those Events, we will direct you to their website. We have no responsibility for these third party websites.

 

11    IF YOU BREACH THESE TERMS

11.1   If you are in breach of, or we suspect you are in breach of, these Terms then we may:

11.1.1  issue a warning;

11.1.2  effect an immediate, temporary or permanent withdrawal of your access to the Service;

11.1.3  refuse to submit an Order which we have not yet submitted to an Event Organizer or relevant Ticket Seller on your behalf;

11.1.4  revoke an Order which we have submitted to an Event Organizer or relevant Ticket Seller on your behalf or on behalf of an Event Organizer;

11.1.5  take legal action against you; or

11.1.6  disclose such information to law enforcement authorities as we reasonably feel is necessary.

11.2   The actions described above in this Section are not limited or exhaustive and we reserve the right to take any other action we reasonably deem appropriate.

12.2   We may immediately deactivate or delete your account and all related Sublime Timing or Your Content and files related to your account and/or bar any further access to such files or the Services.

12.3   All provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination of your right to use the Services will survive (including, without limitation, all limitations on liability, releases, indemnification obligations, disclaimers of warranties, and intellectual property protections).

13.2   Limitation on Liability

13.2.1  IN NO EVENT WILL WE, OUR AFFILIATES, OUR LICENSORS, OR OUR EVENT ORGANIZERS, SUPPLIERS, ADVERTISERS, AND SPONSORS (and each of our and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, legal representatives and sub-contractors), BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE (as permitted by applicable law), OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY TYPE, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF GOODWILL, USE, DATA, OR OPPORTUNITY, INTANGIBLE LOSSES OR THE COST OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES, AND ANY RIGHTS TO HAVE DAMAGES MULTIPLIED OR OTHERWISE INCREASED, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES, Sublime Timing OR YOUR CONTENT, OR ANY PRODUCT OR SERVICES PURCHASED THROUGH THE SITE, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE CLAIM IS BASED UPON ANY CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY.

19.1   WE AND YOU MUTUALLY AGREE TO WAIVE OUR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES IN A COURT OF LAW BY A JUDGE OR JURY AND AGREE TO RESOLVE ANY CLAIM OR DISPUTE AGAINST EACH OTHER ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS IN ARBITRATION, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED OTHERWISE IN THIS SECTION 18 (“ARBITRATION AGREEMENT”). THIS WILL PROHIBIT YOU AND US FROM BRINGING ANY CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDINGS AGAINST EACH OTHER, AND THE PARTIES MUTUALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHTS TO BRING SUCH ACTIONS.

19.2   We are available by email at info@sublimetiming.com to address any concerns you may have regarding the Services or these Terms. Most concerns may be quickly resolved in this manner. We and you agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to address and resolve any dispute, claim, question or disagreement directly through consultation and good faith negotiations which will be a precondition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration.

If the parties do not reach an agreed upon solution within a period of thirty (30) days from the time informal dispute resolution is initiated pursuant to the Section above, then either party may initiate binding arbitration.

19.3   Notwithstanding any other provision in these Terms, this Arbitration Agreement will not require arbitration of the following types of claims: (i) small claims actions brought on an individual basis that are within the scope of such small claims court’s jurisdiction, (ii) injunctive or other equitable relief to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s confidentiality rights or copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights, and (iii) claims that may not be subject to arbitration as a matter of generally applicable law.

19.4   The following dispute procedures apply to you:

19.4.1  CLASS ACTION WAIVER. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the parties acknowledge and agree that each is waiving the right to bring a class, collective, representative, or consolidated proceeding against each other.

19.4.2  If you have a claim or dispute against us arising out of or in connection with these Terms, including any question regarding its existence, breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity, the parties will first refer the dispute to proceedings under the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”) Mediation Rules.

19.4.3  If the dispute has not been settled pursuant to the paragraph above within 60 days following the filing of a request for mediation under the ICC Mediation Rules or within such other period as the parties may agree in writing, such dispute will thereafter be finally settled under the Rules of Arbitration of the ICC by one arbitrator appointed in accordance with the said Rules, which hare incorporated by reference into this clause.

19.4.4  Unless the parties stipulate otherwise, there will be one arbitrator (to be appointed by the ICC), the arbitration will take place in London, England, and the arbitration will be conducted in English.
