PART I: GENERAL

Privacy

We collect and use your personal information in accordance with our privacy policy, available online at https://eventflex.com/privacy. By using the EventFlex Marketplace, you consent to such processing and you represent to us that all information provided by you is accurate.

About the EventFlex Marketplace

The EventFlex Marketplace allows Venues to make their premises available to Event Organizers, permitting the attendance of Event Organizers, their invitees and other users.

We do not own or sublease any of the venues listed on the EventFlex Marketplace. The EventFlex Marketplace is a peer-to-peer online marketplace only, designed for the purpose of connecting users and facilitating the booking of and payment for various premises.

Venues may offer two main types of fee structures on the EventFlex Marketplace;

Venue booking fees, simply to access and use all or part of a premises; and
Minimum spending bookings, where Event Organizers agree on a minimum amount of money that must be spent at the premises in respect of their booking. Such minimum spending requirements may apply to food, beverages and any other goods or services offered by the premises, as specified by the Venue.

While Venues may specify their rates and other terms in a space listing on the EventFlex Platform, Venues may also specify customized offers for individual Event Organizers.

While certain contractual terms are established between Venues and Event Organizers in these Terms and on the EventFlex Marketplace (such as booking duration, price and venue location), you are welcome, whether acting as a Venue or an Event Organizer, to create your own additional contract terms or booking agreement between you and other users. Venues may also include additional booking terms in their listings or their custom offers on the EventFlex Marketplace, such as:

invitee or premises capacity limits;
minimum spending requirements; and
whether the premises is being booked exclusively, or will be open to other patrons of the Venue, by either posting those terms to their listing(s) and/or having users enter a separate contract directly between the Venue and the Event Organizer.

It is agreed that any such additional terms specified by a Venue, within their Venue listing or custom offer on the EventFlex Marketplace, shall form part of the agreement between Venues and the respective Event Organizers. To the extent there is a conflict between any such additional terms and these Terms, you agree that these Terms shall take precedent.

Entering Separate Contracts Directly between Venue and Event Organizer

We encourage all Venues to enter separate written and signed contracts with Event Organizers, particularly where Venues specify minimum spending requirements and how payment for food and beverages, outside of the EventFlex Marketplace Deposit (defined below), will be processed.

While the EventFlex Marketplace facilitates the collection of a Deposit (defined below) for bookings which specify a minimum spending requirement, we do not process payment for, or have any involvement in entering contracts between users in respect of any fees owing directly to a Venue, including any minimum spending balance owing (the “Minimum Spend Balance”).

FOR LISTINGS OR BOOKINGS THAT REQUIRE A MINIMUM SPEND, YOU, AS AN EVENT ORGANIZER AGREE THAT YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING ANY SUCH MINIMUM SPEND BALANCE TO THE VENUE DIRECTLY. WE DO NOT FACILITATE PAYMENT OF THE MINIMUM SPEND BALANCE VIA THE EVENTFLEX MARKETPLACE.

IF YOU ARE OR YOU REPRESENT A VENUE, YOU AGREE THAT WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR A USER’S FAILURE TO PAY ANY MINIMUM SPEND BALANCE AND THAT YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ENTERING SUCH CONTRACTS, AS MAY BE NECESSARY, AND COLLECTING THE MINIMUM SPEND BALANCE.

Establishing an Account on the EventFlex Marketplace

You may browse the public facing sections of the EventFlex Marketplace without establishing an account or providing us with any personal information. However, to list your premises or to book an space, you will be required to register for an account. In order to register an account, you will be required to provide us with:

Your full legal name and address (as displayed on your government identification);
The legal name of the person or entity who either owns, or is acting as the head-lessor of the applicable venue, duly authorized to lease the space;
An email address, which you alone control;
The space address; and
Such other account information listed on our website and in our privacy policy.

You represent and warrant that all account information you provide to us is accurate and not misleading.

Upon establishing an account with us, we grant you a worldwide, non-transferable, non-exclusive license to access the EventFlex Marketplace and your account in accordance with these Terms, but reserve the right to revoke the license and your access to the EventFlex Marketplace at any time. We may also deny account applications or suspend accounts without reason, justification or cause. As we rollout our platform and make it available in different jurisdictions, we may restrict or limit access to the EventFlex Marketplace to spaces located within a specific geographical area.

If you establish an account with us, access to your account is not transferrable and is only intended for the individual or entity that established the account. You may only register for one account and upon setting up your account, you will be required to create a username and password. For security reasons, you agree to use a unique password which you do not use on any other website or online service. You are responsible for safeguarding the password you use to access the EventFlex Marketplace and you agree not to disclose your password to any third party. You are responsible for any activity on your account, whether you authorized that activity or not.

PART II: VENUES

Listing a Premises

As a Venue, you can create new listings and manage existing listings on the EventFlex Marketplace from within your account. If your account is approved, in order to list a space for booking, you will be required to:

Upload photos of your premises;
Upload an accurate description of the space and its facilities;
Specify your booking rate, minimum spending requirements (if any) and pricing information;
Specify a deposit amount in respect of securing the booking and/or in respect of the Minimum Spend Balance (a “Deposit”);
Specify terms applicable to the how users will gain access to your space;
Specify the dates and times your space is available for booking; and
Specify any other terms or conditions applicable to booking your space.

Representations and Warranties of Venues

By posting a space listing, you represent and warrant to us and each prospective Event Organizer that (i) the description of your space is accurate and not misleading; (ii) you lawfully own the space, or have full legal rights to rent or book the space and are not, whether by contract, law, rule, regulation, by-law or otherwise, restricted or precluded from booking out the space; (iii) the space is and will be safe for use, complies with all applicable city, municipal or similar codes, by-laws, rules and regulations and is and will be operated in accordance with acceptable standards of practice for the Venue’s industry; (iv) will be in good usable condition at the commencement of any booking period; (v) is duly licensed to operate; (vi) the photos you upload of the space reflect its current condition and state; and (vii) you, or the applicable owner or lessor of the space, has both general commercial liability insurance and occupier’s liability insurance, each with a minimum coverage amount of no less than CAD One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) in Canada and USD One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) in the United States of America.

Following the completion of your space listing description and uploading your images, we or a prospective Event Organizer, may (but are not obligated to) request that you provide additional information, including but not limited to information confirming your ownership of the venue, or that you act as a head-lessor with due and property authority to make the space available on the EventFlex Marketplace. In order to prevent fraud and to facilitate claims against you related to these Terms, we may also require that you confirm your identity and address by providing a copy of your driver’s license, or other government issued identification. In the event you, as a Venue, are an incorporated or other business entity, we may also request copies of your articles of incorporation and other business registration documents.

We do not actively monitor or review all listings, however, we reserve the right to remove any listing, content, or images you upload to the EventFlex Marketplace if we reasonably believe they are misleading, fraudulent or otherwise do not conform with our listing requirements, as updated and amended from time-to-time in these Terms and on our website.

We may also reject, cancel or terminate any order placed on the EventFlex Marketplace, including accepted orders, for any reason, including to protect Event Organizers where we reasonably believe a Venue has not complied with these Terms or we reasonably suspect the Venue may not be duly authorized or lawfully permitted to rent or book the space in question.

As the EventFlex Marketplace merely facilitates the booking of spaces and minimum spending requirements between the various users, we do not represent or warrant that space descriptions, food and beverage or other goods and services descriptions, images or other content uploaded on the EventFlex Marketplace are accurate, complete or error-free. Nor do we represent or warrant that the applicable Venue is lawfully permitted to use our service, or book the space they list on the EventFlex Marketplace. Accordingly, you accept all risks associated with another user posting misleading or fraudulent information or hosting venues which otherwise do not comply with our listing requirements or any governing law, rule, regulation or by-law. See the section below entitled “Acceptance of Risk and Disclaimers” for details.

Delisting a Venue

As a Venue, you may elect to remove your listing(s) from the EventFlex Marketplace at any time so long as the applicable listing does not have any bookings. We strongly encourage Venues not to cancel bookings, as doing so will cause inconvenience for Event Organizers, event attendees and the prospect of negative reviews. If, however, you have an extraordinary circumstance and need to cancel an agreed upon booking the Cancellation Policy, as referenced below and as available on our website at https://eventflex.com/cancellation-policy, shall apply. You agree to such Cancellation Policy, as updated and amended from time to time and that you will also reach out directly to the applicable Event Organizer and inform them of the cancellation.

Booking a Venue and Forming a Booking Agreement

All users, once you establish an account, will have access to view each other user’s profile, and message one another with questions related to booking an space.

All bookings must be placed on the EventFlex Marketplace using your own account. Spaces available for booking from various Venues are shown with dates of availability, location, venue facilities and the Venue’s additional booking terms, if any.

Venues are permitted to revise their booking rates and pricing information any time prior to accepting a booking from an Event Organizer. Unless a Venue’s listing is identified as an “Instant Book” on our website, when an Event Organizer submits a booking request, the request is subject to the Venue’s right to decline the booking within a reasonable time. This allows Venues to confirm their space is still available. Thereafter, if a Venue accepts a booking or an “Instant Book” is completed, you agree that an agreement is formed directly between the Venue and Event Organizer, based upon the terms of this agreement, the Venue’s listing information and any subsequent terms the Venue and Event Organizer agree upon, whether in their correspondence or by a signed or duly entered separate contract.

While the terms of the agreement between Venues and Event Organizer are, in-part, set out in these Terms, on the applicable listing and in-part may be agreed upon directly between the Venue and Event Organizer, you agree that when you book a space with another user on the EventFlex Marketplace, you are entering into a contract directly with that other user. You agree that while you are bound by these Terms with us, we are not, and do not become, a party to any booking agreements, or minimum spending agreements, in which you agree to book a space and/or spend a minimum amount with such Venue. As a result, any disputes related to or arising from booking an space listed on the EventFlex Marketplace shall be settled solely between the Venue and Event Organizer. Aside from processing refunds in limited situations, in accordance with these Terms, we do not offer, nor do we assist with any dispute resolution processes for any disputes arising between users.

Once a booking agreement is formed, the Event Organizer agrees to pay all fees and taxes specified in these Terms (along with the terms of any separate contract entered between the users), the corresponding space listing and to vacate the space at the times specified on the EventFlex Marketplace or as otherwise agreed upon between the Event Organizer and Venue.

Our Service Fees

While listing venues for booking on the EventFlex Marketplace is free, in the event a booking is made, we charge fees as specified on our website. Our fees are billed as; (i) a percentage of the overall fees payable by an Event Organizer to the applicable Venue; and/or (ii) a percentage of the Deposit paid by the Event Organizer to the Venue; and (iii) we may also charge a service fee in respect of each booking, which will be displayed to the Event Organizer at checkout in connection with submitting the booking request. We may update our fees from time-to-time, as posted on our website. You agree to pay all such fees applicable to your bookings. However, no adjustment to our fees will apply retroactively to any booking already made on the EventFlex Marketplace.

We may collect our fees by retaining all or the necessary portion of any Deposit to cover our fees. Each Venue is responsible for, and agrees that we shall have no responsibility or liability for, collecting any Minimum Spend Balance, or other balance owing by the Event Organizer to the Venue or other users.

The EventFlex Marketplace uses a third-party payment processor to facilitate the payment of booking fees and Deposits. You agree that we will automatically deduct our fees from payment(s) made by Event Organizers to the applicable Venue, including amounts paid as part of Deposit, service fees or otherwise.

All fees are subject to the addition of HST or other applicable sales taxes. As our fees are payable for facilitating a connection between a Venue and an Event Organizer, once paid, our fees are non-refundable, under any and all circumstances, even if your event is cancelled or the applicable Venue fails to make their space available to you in accordance with these Terms.

Payments from Event Organizers to Us

We use a third-party payment processor, Stripe, Inc. and their related and affiliated entities, including such related and affiliated entities operating in Canada (collectively “Stripe”), to process payments from Event Organizers and to the applicable Venue.

Although we may embed their forms on the EventFlex Marketplace, when you provide your payment details (such as credit card information), you are providing them directly to Stripe. You consent to their collection and use of your personal information in doing so. While we will have access to view portions of your payment information and transaction details via Stripe, we do not collect or store your full credit card number. You acknowledge that Stripe may have their own terms and conditions and privacy practices that apply to you and your personal information.

Credit Card Pre-Authorization

As an Event Organizer, you agree that we may immediately charge, or pre-authorize your credit card for the estimated costs, fees and taxes of any booking you make on the EventFlex Marketplace.

Payments from Us to Venues

After deducting our fees and taxes in accordance with these Terms, we, via Stripe, release the balance of the fees paid by the Event Organizer. To use the EventFlex Marketplace as a Venue, you will be required to register a for Stripe account in order to receive payments. See Stripe’s terms of service and website for details on how and when they cause payment to you.

Notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms, you agree that we shall not be liable to you, as a Venue, for any unpaid fees in the event of credit card chargebacks, fraud or we otherwise are not duly paid the booking fees and/or Deposit by the Event Organizer. As a Venue, you agree that we shall not be liable or responsible to you in the event we (i) refund a payment to an Event Organizer; or (ii) fail to, or are unable, for any reason, collect all or any portion of your booking fees from the Event Organizer.

Taxes

Whether acting as an Event Organizer or Venue, you agree to pay all sales taxes applicable to these Terms, our fees or arising, in any way, from the booking of a space via the EventFlex Marketplace.

As a Venue, you are responsible for collecting, declaring and paying income tax on income you earn as a result of booking your space and using our EventFlex Marketplace. You are also responsible for collecting and remitting all sales taxes, including any sales taxes based on where the Venue is located (such as HST in Ontario, Canada), if applicable to you. You should obtain tax advice concerning your tax filing obligations, and whether sales or similar taxes are payable by you in respect of your bookings or sales.

No Partnership etc.

You agree that we shall not be responsible for, or liable for withholding or remitting any taxes on your behalf and that your participation on the EventFlex Marketplace does not constitute any form of partnership between you and us. Accordingly, you waive the application of the Partnerships Act, RSO 1990, c P.5 in Ontario and any successor legislation or similar legislation in any other jurisdiction which may deem a partnership to exist by operation of law. You agree that we are independent contracting parties and if you are a Venue, you are operating your own independent business by booking your space to other users and shall comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations in doing so.

Use of Spaces

As an Event Organizer, you agree, in favour of the Venue and us, that:

You shall ensure that the space you book from a Venue is not damaged by you or your invitees;
You and your invitees shall comply with all rules and policies of the Venue, to the extent they are reasonably communicated to you;
You will not use the space you book with a Venue for any illegal or immoral purpose; and
You will not smoke or vape inside the space, or anywhere were doing so is unlawful or not permitted by the Venue.

Venue’s Obligation to Obtain Insurance

AS A VENUE, YOU AGREE THAT PRIOR TO BOOKING YOUR SPACE ON THE EVENTFLEX MARKETPLACE, YOU MUST OBTAIN AND WILL MAINTAIN THROUGHOUT EACH BOOKING, FROM A REPUTABLE INSURER, AT A MINIMUM:

ANY AND ALL INSURANCE AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY LAW, IF ANY, IN RESPECT OF OPERATING YOUR VENUE AND PREMISES; AND
GENERAL COMMERCIAL LIABILITY INSURANCE, WITH A MINIMUM COVERAGE AMOUNT OF NO LESS THAN ONE MILLION CANADIAN DOLLARS ($1,000,000) IN CANADA AND ONE MILLION US DOLLARS ($1,000,000) IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA; AND
OCCUPIER’S LIABILITY INSURANCE, WITH A MINIMUM COVERAGE AMOUNT OF NO LESS THAN ONE MILLION CANADIAN DOLLARS ($1,000,000) IN CANADA AND ONE MILLION US DOLLARS ($1,000,000) IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA;.

We may require, but are not obligated to request, that you provide a certificate or other proof of insurance to continue to hold your account. We may also suspend or terminate your account if you fail to provide such proof of insurance. However, you agree that we shall have no obligation to review such insurance policies and do not represent or warrant that all Venues or spaces listed on the EventFlex Marketplace have such insurance policies in place, or that any such insurance coverage would protect from the types of damages and losses an Event Organizer and their respective invitees may suffer.

Cancellation and Refunds

Subject to any additional provisions agreed to directly between the Venue and Event Organizer:

As a Venue:

If you cancel a booking, at any time, the entire balance of any booking fees or Deposit amount you receive against such fees or minimum spend requirements, will be refunded to the Event Organizer; and
You will be charged a cancellation fee, by us. Please see our Cancellation Policy (https://eventflex.com/cancellation-policy) for details, which is incorporated by reference.

As an Event Organizer:

Each booking will be subject to one of four standard cancellation policies, as specified by the applicable Venue in their space listing. For details of each of the four cancelation policies, please see our website at https://eventflex.com/cancellation-policy. You will not be entitled to any refund in respect of cancellations made contrary to the applicable cancellation policy, as specified by the Venue. Our Cancellation Policy may be updated from time to time.

As an Event Organizer, if you believe a Venue has not provided access to their space in accordance with these Terms, or other terms agreed upon directly between you and the Venue, you agree that, aside from refunds granted by us, you will be responsible for pursuing any refunds, claims, damages and any other legal action against the Venue, directly.

In extreme cases, we may exercise our discretion to reverse and refund a payment made by an Event Organizer where (i) it is feasible to do so with our payment processor; and (ii) we reasonably conclude the Venue acted in clear breach of their obligations, representations or warranties granted herein. However, in no such case shall our service fee be refunded.

For example, refunds may be granted if (i) the Venue fails to make their space available at the times agreed upon via the EventFlex Marketplace; or (ii) the space does not substantially conform with the description and images provided by the Venue on the EventFlex Marketplace.

We may also decide to refund only a portion of the Venue’s fees, where we believe doing so to be reasonable in the circumstances, in our sole and absolute discretion. If you are a Venue, you agree that we may cause a refund or discount to be applied in respect of any Deposit or booking transaction with an Event Organizer.

IMPORTANT REFUND DEADLINE: To raise a complaint and commence the refund process, you must email us within twenty-four (24) hours of your booking period ending. Your email must specify one or more of the above reasons in which you are requesting the refund. We will decide as to whether a refund will be processed based on the information supplied by both the Venue and Event Organizer by deadlines we may impose after the complaint is raised. Our refund determinations are final and you agree that pending our determination, we may either (i) refund the booking fees in full or in-part; or (ii) deem the booking transaction to have duly concluded and not process the refund. However, under no circumstances shall our fees be refunded.

You agree that any dispute or claim you have arising from our refund determination or otherwise shall be brought only against the other user, whether as Venue or Event Organizer, and not us. You further agree that once we release payment to the applicable Venue or refund same, the transaction is complete and any claim you may have thereafter, shall only be directly against the other user, and not us.

You agree that we may set-off any debts due and owing to you with amounts we may owe you.

Reviewing other Users

Upon the completion of a transaction, you may be asked to review each Venue and each Event Organizer you interact with on the EventFlex Marketplace. You agree to only leave authentic reviews which reflect your actual experience. We may remove reviews which we deem, in our sole and absolute discretion, to be inauthentic, defamatory, or otherwise in breach of our User Content rules, below. Users who receive a rating of seventy percent (70%) or less, after having completed two (2) or more bookings may have the accounts suspended or removed by us.

Payment Holds and Chargebacks

We reserve the right to withhold payment to a Venue pending the resolution of any refund claim or complaint raised by an Event Organizer.

You agree that as a Venue, you shall be fully liable and responsible for any chargebacks processed by our payment processors, credit card providers, banks or other third party in respect of your space and payments you receive. In the event we provided you with your payout and a chargeback is subsequently processed, you agree to return the applicable funds to us.
