  1. Service Fees. There are no fees for creating an account on the Site. Campaign Organizers may be charged a service fee as a portion of the Contributions they receive (the “Service Fees“). The Service Fees are effective on the date that the Service Fees are posted and may be updated from time to time. Service Fees will be charged at the then-current rate based on the pricing chosen by the Campaign Organizer for each specific Campaign.

In connection with receiving Contributions from Contributors, Campaign Organizers appoint Eventgroove Fundraising as the Campaign Organizer’s limited agent for the sole purpose of receiving, holding, and settling payments to such Campaign Organizer. As a Campaign Organizer’s agent, Eventgroove Fundraising’s receipt of Contributions on a Campaign Organizer’s behalf is the same as receipt of Contributions directly by a Campaign Organizer. Eventgroove Fundraising’s appointment with respect to a Contribution terminates with the settlement of payment to the Campaign Organizer. Until payment is settled to the Campaign Organizer, the Campaign Organizer agrees to bear the risk of loss, theft, destruction, or damage to that Contribution.
  3. Right to Withhold Funds. Campaign Organizers should not assume that they will receive Contributions made to a Campaign. Disbursement of Contributions to a Campaign Organizer may be delayed, or withheld in their entirety, for a number of reasons including, refunds, chargeback disputes, fraud, violation of the Terms of Use or any other policy, or any other situation where Eventgroove Fundraising determines that Contributions should not be disbursed in its sole discretion. Contributions may also be used to reimburse Eventgroove Fundraising for any chargebacks and refunds incurred by Eventgroove Fundraising for a Campaign. Eventgroove Fundraising may also seek reimbursement from a Campaign Organizer by any other lawful means, including by using third-party collection services.
  4. Refunds. Eventgroove Fundraising may offer a limited refund to Contributors in accordance with our Refund Policy. Refunds outside of our Refund Policy must be handled by the Campaign Organizer, and neither Eventgroove Fundraising nor any of its affiliates or its or their respective officers, directors, employees, equity holders, partners, independent contractors, consultants, advisors, licensors, successors, assigns, affiliates, agents, service providers, sublicensees, subcontractors and other representatives (collectively “Representatives”) shall have any obligation or liability to provide any refunds or become involved with any dispute between a Campaign Organizer and Contributor. Eventgroove Fundraising reserves the right in its sole discretion to suspend or terminate any User Account or remove any Campaign for any abuse of the Refund Policy.

  1. Waiver and Release (e.g., for CA Residents)

For Users in a jurisdiction that requires a specific statement regarding waiver and release then the following applies. For example, California residents must, as a condition of these Terms, waive the applicability of California Civil Code Section 1542 for unknown claims which states: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.” You hereby irrevocably waive this section of the California Civil Code and any similar provision in law, regulation or code that has the same effect or intent as the foregoing release.

  1. Legal Disputes Not Subject to Arbitration Will Be Handled in Bozeman, MT and Subject to Montana Law.

For any actions not subject to arbitration, you and Eventgroove Fundraising 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. The Terms and the relationship between you and Eventgroove Fundraising 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.

  1. Dispute Resolution, Arbitration and Class Action Waiver

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.

We encourage you to contact us if you have 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 your use of the Site, Services, Content or these Terms, you and we agree to this arbitration provision.

Using or accessing the Site, Services or Content (and otherwise agreeing to the Terms) constitutes your acceptance of this arbitration provision and your agreement that any claims will be resolved by confidential, binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that (i) you or Eventgroove Fundraising may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or misuse of IP Rights; and (ii) you may assert claims in small claims court if your 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 YOU AND EVENTGROOVE FUNDRAISING, 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 YOU AGREE THAT EVENTGROOVE FUNDRAISING AND YOU ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND TO HAVE A TRIAL BY A JURY. YOU AGREE THAT ANY ARBITRATION WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND THAT CLASS ACTIONS AND CLASS ARBITRATIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED HEREUNDER AND YOU ARE IRREVOCABLY AGREEING TO GIVE UP THE ABILITY TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR CLASS ARBITRATION. 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 you 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 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 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 will preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies and, if the law allows, they can seek relief against us for you.

For any actions not subject to arbitration, you and Eventgroove Fundraising 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. The Terms and the relationship between you and Eventgroove Fundraising shall in all respects be 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.

If any provision of these Terms is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of theseTerms, which shall remain in full force and effect. Eventgroove Fundraising’s failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

Otherwise, such cause of action shall be permanently barred.
