The platform mainly functions as a venue to connect Buyers and Sellers, and Pogoseat does not guarantee (a) the existence, quality, safety, or legality of the tickets; (b) the accuracy of the information provided by Sellers; (c) the ability of Sellers to sell tickets or Buyers to pay for them; or (d) that any transaction will be successfully completed.
No Endorsement
Unless explicitly stated otherwise, the availability of Tickets or Sellers on our digital platforms does not imply or suggest any endorsement by Pogoseat of those Tickets or Sellers, nor does it indicate any sponsorship or affiliation.
Tickets
The resale price of Tickets ("Ticket Price") may be higher, lower, or equal to the original price of the Ticket. Unless otherwise noted, Tickets can be transferred even if they have another person's name on them. Sellers must deliver Tickets before the event, and the Buyer Guarantee will protect you if the Seller fails to deliver. All Ticket prices are listed in United States dollars unless specified otherwise.
Buyer Guarantee
We want Buyers to feel confident when purchasing Tickets. Therefore, with every qualified order, Pogoseat ensures the following:
- Your tickets will be delivered in time for the event;
- Your tickets will grant you valid entry to the event;
- The tickets you receive will match those you ordered; and
- If any of these conditions are not met, we will address the verified issue(s) on a case-by-case basis by offering you comparable or better tickets, a refund, or, where applicable, a credit. Please contact Pogoseat immediately.
Buying Tickets
Buyers are solely responsible for completing their transactions and paying any applicable fees. By purchasing a Ticket, you are entering a binding agreement with the Seller. All sales are final, and refunds are not issued except in the case of event cancellations. Once a sale is completed, you cannot change or cancel the order.
Agreement
You agree to provide accurate information for the delivery of tickets, such as a valid email or physical address. If you provide incorrect information or are unavailable to receive the tickets, you will not qualify for a refund or the Buyer Guarantee.
Ticket Limits
To ensure fair access and prevent unfair purchasing practices, Pogoseat or its clients may limit the number of tickets a single customer can buy. These limits will be communicated during the purchase process. Creating multiple accounts to exceed these limits is not allowed, and Pogoseat may cancel transactions or restrict your purchasing rights if these limits are violated.
Prohibition on Ticket Bot Technology
The use of multiple IP addresses or email addresses to conduct ticket transactions is not allowed, nor is using automated software ("ticket bots") to search for, reserve, or purchase Tickets. Bypassing security measures or ticket purchasing limits is strictly prohibited.

Selling Tickets
Sellers must adhere to all relevant laws, rules, regulations, and ordinances, as well as our Supplemental Terms, when marketing and selling Tickets.
Ticket Listings

NEITHER POGOSEAT NOR ANY OF OUR AFFILIATES, SHAREHOLDERS, LICENSORS, SUPPLIERS, ADVERTISERS OR SPONSORS, NOR OUR OR THEIR DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONSULTANTS, AGENTS OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVES, ARE OR WILL BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE TO YOU OR TO ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR OTHER DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF BUSINESS, LOSS OF DATA OR LOST PROFITS), UNDER ANY CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER THEORY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THE WEBSITE AND/OR MATERIALS CONTAINED ON THE WEBSITE, ANY LINKED WEBSITE OR ANY PRODUCT OR SERVICE PURCHASED THROUGH THE WEBSITE.

You acknowledge that you may have or may in the future have claims against Pogoseat which you do not know or suspect to exist in your favor when you agreed to this Agreement and which if known, might materially affect your consent to this Agreement. You expressly waive all rights you may have under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code or any similar provision under any other applicable law, which states:
A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND THE CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN ITS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.
Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend and hold Pogoseat, its affiliates, licensors, suppliers, advertisers and sponsors, and their respective directors, officers, employees, consultants, agents and other representatives, harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees) and other expenses that arise directly or indirectly out of or from (a) your breach of this Agreement, (b) any allegation that any User Content or other materials you submit to us or transmit to the Site infringe or otherwise violate the copyright, trademark, trade secret or other intellectual property or other rights of any third party; and/or (c) your activities in connection with the Site.
Jurisdiction and Governing Law
By visiting the Site, you agree that the Federal Arbitration Act, applicable federal law, and the laws of the state of California, without regard to principles of conflict of laws, will govern the Terms of Use, Privacy Policy and any dispute of any sort that might arise between you and us related in any way to your use of the Site. Except as provided in the Arbitration Agreement section below, by using the Website you agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Santa Clara County, California for the resolution of all disputes between us, and waive any objection based on such forums being inconvenient.
Arbitration Agreement
Any dispute or claim relating in any way to products sold or Services provided through the Website, or any Provider arising out of, relating to, or connected in any way with these Terms, or relating in any way to your use of the Website (including without limitation claims relating to the breach of the Terms of Conditions, Privacy Policy or the unauthorized disclosure of personally identifiable information) will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. Unless you proceed with a small claims action, the Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law will apply. This Arbitration Agreement is intended to be broadly interpreted, and includes, without limitation:
- claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory, including, without limitation, claims relating to your use of Pogoseat's website www.Pogoseat.com, any statements or advertising on the Website, your purchase of a seat upgrade through the Websites, and/or any fees or other amounts you paid to Pogoseat in connection with the purchase of a seat upgrade through the Website;
- claims that arose before this or any prior Agreement (including, but not limited to, claims relating to advertising); and
- claims that may arise after the termination of this Agreement.
There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow the terms of these Terms of Conditions as a court would.
If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration WE EACH HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. We also both agree that either of us may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.
WE EACH AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDINGS WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. Further, unless we both agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative, consolidated or class proceeding. If the requirements of this paragraph are found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void except for the waiver of any right to a jury trial described in the previous paragraph.
If a dispute arises between us, we strongly encourage you to first contact us directly to seek a resolution by contacting our Customer Support [support@pogoseat.com] before resorting to arbitration or asserting a claim in small claims court. We value our relationship with our customers and will try to resolve your claims informally and expeditiously. To that end, before either of us may begin an arbitration proceeding, written notice must be sent to the other describing the claim. If to us, the notice should be sent to our registered agent [Pogoseat, Inc., c/o PremierCounsel LLP, 201 Spear Street, Suite 1100, San Francisco, CA 94105], and if to you, at the current address you provided in your customer account. If the claim has not been resolved within 30 days of sending the notice, either party may then commence an arbitration proceeding. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its rules, including the AAA's Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. The AAA's rules and forms are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules. We will reimburse those fees for claims totalling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. Likewise, we will not to seek attorneys' fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines your claims are frivolous. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county or parish where you live or at another mutually agreed location.
The arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. If the arbitrator issues you an award that is greater than the value of our last written settlement offer made before an arbitrator was selected (or if we did not make a settlement offer before an arbitrator was selected), then we will pay you the amount of the award or US$1,000, whichever is greater.
Severability
If any these provisions shall be deemed invalid, void, or for any reason unenforceable, that condition shall be deemed several and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provision.
