Last Updated: August 17, 2021

Welcome to Seated! Please read these Terms of Service (the "Terms") carefully because they govern your use of our services, accessible via our website located at www.seated.com (the "Site") and via our mobile device application ("App"), which enable you to discover, plan around, and attend sports, music, entertainment, and other types of events in various cities. To make these Terms easier to read, the Site, the App, and the features and services that may be provided in connection with the Site and App (including the Seated Referral Program (as defined below)), are collectively called the "Services." The Services are made available by Seated, Inc.

Agreement to Terms

By using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you don't agree to these Terms, do not use the Services.

Changes to Terms or Services

We may modify the Terms at any time, at our sole discretion. If we do so, we'll let you know either by posting the modified Terms on the Site or the App or through other communications. It's important that you review the modified Terms because if you continue to use the Services after we have posted modified Terms on the Site or the App, you're indicating to us that you agree to be bound by the modified Terms. If you don't agree to be bound by the modified Terms then you may no longer use the Services. Because our Services are evolving over time we may change or discontinue all or any part of the Services, at any time and without notice, at our sole discretion.

Who May Use the Services

Eligibility

You may use the Services only if you are 13 years or older and are not barred from using the Services under applicable law.

Registration and Your Information

If you want to use certain features of the Services you'll have to create an account ("Account"). You can do this via the Site or the App or through your account with certain third-party social networking services such as Facebook or Twitter (each, an "SNS Account"). If you choose the SNS Account option we'll create your Account by extracting from your SNS Account certain personal information such as your name and email address and other personal information that your privacy settings on the SNS Account permit us to access.

It's important that you provide us with accurate, complete and up-to-date information for your Account and you agree to update such information to keep it accurate, complete and up-to-date. If you don't, we might have to suspend or terminate your Account. You agree that you won't disclose your Account password to anyone and you'll notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your Account. You're responsible for all activities that occur under your Account, whether or not you know about them.

Using the Services; Payment Terms

Through the Services, you'll be able to find sports, music, theater, and various other activities (each such activity, an "Event") hosted and operated by third parties at various locations (each such location, a "Venue") in different cities. You don't need an Account to browse and view Events via the Services however you do need to register and create an Account in order to buy tickets and to use some other features of the Services. Certain Events advertised through the Services are free to attend (and are marked as such through the Services) ("Free Events"), while others require you to purchase a ticket to attend the Event ("Paid Events"). When you find a Paid Event that interests you, you can purchase a ticket for that Paid Event through the Services. Seated's third party payment service provider will charge your credit card for your purchase. The price of a ticket purchased through the Services, and charged to your credit card, will include (a) the cost of the Paid Event per person, as posted on the Services at the time you initiate your purchase; as well as (b) a service charge, payable to Seated for arranging and servicing your ticket purchase. When you make a purchase through the Services, you represent that: (i) any credit card information you supply is true and complete; and (ii) you'll pay the charges incurred by you at the posted prices, including any applicable taxes. You agree that you will not attempt to evade, avoid, or circumvent any refund prohibitions in any manner with regard to tickets you purchased. You will not dispute or otherwise seek a "chargeback" from the company whose credit card you used to purchase tickets through our Services. Should you do so, your tickets may be cancelled, and we may, in our sole discretion, refuse to honor pending and future ticket purchases made from all credit card accounts or online accounts on which such chargebacks have been made, and may prohibit all persons in whose name the credit card accounts exist and any person who accesses any associated online account or credit card or who otherwise breaches this provision from using our Services. You are solely responsible for ensuring that you have selected the correct Paid Event for which you are purchasing a ticket. Except as otherwise stated in Seated's Refund Policy located at http://support.seated.com, after your purchase of a ticket for a Paid Event is processed, the transaction is final, and Seated will have no liability for any disputes related to tickets purchased through the Services.

In addition, you may use Seated Credit (as defined below) that has been credited to your Account towards the purchase of a ticket for a Paid Event via the Services; provided that a maximum of $10 of Seated Credit can be credited towards each payment transaction via the Services. Seated may decide, at Seated's sole discretion, not to apply the foregoing per transaction limit to Seated Credit that has been credited to your Account other than through the Seated Referral Program.

Events

All Events are organized and operated by third parties and we have no part in such organization or operation. The Event organizers and operators and/or Venue owners may have additional terms and conditions governing your attendance at an Event and you agree to comply with any such terms and conditions when you attend Events. If an Event has been overbooked and is sold out, we will refund you the amounts for the tickets you purchased pursuant to our Refund Policy located at http://support.seated.com.

Health & Safety Event Policies

The event organizer and/or venue of each event reserve the right to implement health and safety measures for the protection of all attendees. The policies are subject to change at any time and may include, but are not limited to, requiring proof of vaccination, negative test results, or mask requirements.  By using Seated, you are solely responsible for understanding and complying with all venue policies and conditions of entry. Choosing not to comply with any of the policies may result in denial of entry or dismissal from the event and you will not be refunded by Seated. All sales on Seated are final regardless of the health and safety protocols instituted for the event.

Dispute Resolution

Governing Law

These Terms and any action related thereto will be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.

Agreement to Arbitrate

You and Seated agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof or the use of the Services or Content (collectively, "Disputes") will be settled by binding arbitration, except that each party retains the right: (i) to bring an individual action in small claims court and (ii) to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party's copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights (the action described in the foregoing clause (ii), an "IP Protection Action"). The exclusive jurisdiction and venue of any IP Protection Action will be the state and federal courts located in the Northern District of California and each of the parties hereto waives any objection to jurisdiction and venue in such courts. You acknowledge and agree that you and Seated are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding. Further, unless both you and Seated otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If this specific paragraph is held unenforceable, then the entirety of this "Dispute Resolution" section will be deemed void. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, this "Dispute Resolution" section will survive any termination of these Terms.

Arbitration Rules

The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (the "AAA Rules") then in effect, except as modified by this "Dispute Resolution" section. (The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org/arb_med or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.) The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Section.

Arbitration Process

A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the AAA Rules. (The AAA provides a form Demand for Arbitration at http://www.adr.org/aaa/ShowPDF?doc=ADRSTG_004175 and a separate form for California residents at http://www.adr.org/aaa/ShowPDF?doc=ADRSTG_015822.) The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law and will be selected by the parties from the AAA's roster of arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within seven (7) days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration, then the AAA will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules.

Arbitration Location and Procedure

Unless you and Seated otherwise agree, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside. If your claim does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of the documents that you and Seated submit to the arbitrator, unless you request a hearing or the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. If your claim exceeds $10,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Subject to the AAA Rules, the arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration.

Arbitrator's Decision

The arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules. The arbitrator's decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator's award of damages must be consistent with the terms of the "Limitation of Liability" section above as to the types and amounts of damages for which a party may be held liable. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the claimant and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant's individual claim. If you prevail in arbitration you'll be entitled to an award of attorneys' fees and expenses, to the extent provided under applicable law. Seated will not seek, and hereby waives all rights it may have under applicable law to recover, attorneys' fees and expenses if it prevails in arbitration.

Fees

Your responsibility to pay any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in the AAA Rules. However, if your claim for damages does not exceed $75,000, Seated will pay all such fees unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in your Demand for Arbitration was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)).

Changes

Notwithstanding the provisions of the "Changes to Terms or Services" section above, if Seated changes this "Dispute Resolution" section after the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice (including by email to www.seated.com) within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the "Last Updated" date above or in the date of Seated's email to you notifying you of such change. By rejecting any change, you are agreeing that you'll arbitrate any Dispute between you and Seated in accordance with the provisions of this "Dispute Resolution" section as of the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms).

General Terms

These Terms constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between Seated and you regarding the Services, Events and Content, and these Terms supersede and replace any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between Seated and you regarding the Services and Content. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of these Terms invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.

You may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without Seated's prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign or transfer these Terms, without such consent, will be null and of no effect. Seated may freely assign or transfer these Terms without restriction. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and permitted assigns.

Any notices or other communications provided by Seated under these Terms, including those regarding modifications to these Terms, will be given by Seated: (i) via email; or (ii) by posting to the App. For notices made by e-mail, the date of receipt will be deemed the date on which such notice is transmitted.

Seated's failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of those rights. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of Seated. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise.
