Terms and Conditions

1. Accepting These Terms When these Terms use the term "Global Entries Online," "we," "us," or "our," that refers to Global Entries Online Pty Ltd. and its affiliates, and subsidiaries, and each of its and their respective officers, directors, agents, partners and employees. If you are a User, you are contracting with Global Entries Online Pty Ltd, Level 8, 33 York Street, Sydney, NSW, Australia 1.1 If you are an Organiser, Global Entries Online Merchant Agreement and Organiser Refund Policy Requirements are also applicable to you. 1.2 What the "Terms of Service" Means. These Terms of Service comprise Global Entries Online’s "Terms." These Terms are a legally binding agreement between you and Global Entries Online governing your access to and use of the Services and setting out your rights and responsibilities when you use the Services. By using any of our Services (including browsing a Site), you are agreeing to these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use or access the Services. If you will be using the Services on behalf of an entity (such as on behalf of your employer), you agree to these Terms on behalf of that entity and its affiliates and you represent that you have the authority to do so. In such case, "you" and "your" will refer to that entity as well as yourself. 2. Global Entries Online Services and Role 2.1 Global Entries Online Services provide a means for users to enter events run by Event Organisers. 2.2 Global Entries Online is not the creator, organiser or owner of the events listed on the Services. Rather, Global Entries Online provides its Services, which allow Organisers to manage and promote their events. The Organiser is solely responsible for ensuring that any page displaying an event on the Services (and the event itself) meet all applicable local, state, national and other laws, rules and regulations. Global Entries Online also acts as the Organiser's limited agent solely for the purpose of using our third party payment service providers to collect payments made by Consumers on the Services and passing such payments to the Organiser. Global Entries Online charges a fee for the provision of this service and the Organiser is responsible for payment of this fee. The organiser can chose to pass on fees to users. The organiser is liable for payment of this fee regardless of whether the event goes ahead or not. Global Entries Online may chose to waive this fee at it's sole discretion. 3. Privacy and Consumer Information 3.1 We know your personal information is important to you and it is important to Global Entries Online too. Information provided to Global Entries Online by Users or collected by Global Entries Online, is governed by our Privacy Policy. 4. Termination 4.1 These Terms apply to you as soon as you access the Services by any means and continue in effect until they are terminated. There may come a time where either you or Global Entries Online decides it's best to part ways as described in Sections 4.2 or 4.3 below. When that happens, these Terms will generally no longer apply. However, as described in Section 4.4, certain provisions will always remain applicable to both you and Global Entries Online. 4.2 Global Entries Online may terminate your right to use the Services at any time (a) if you violate or breach these Terms; (b) if you misuse or abuse the Services, or use the Services in a way not intended or permitted by Global Entries Online; or (c) if allowing you to access and use the Services would violate any applicable local, state, national and other laws, rules and regulations or would expose Global Entries Online to legal liability. Global Entries Online may choose to stop offering the Services, or any particular portion of the Service, or modify or replace any aspect of the Service, at any time. We will use reasonable efforts to provide you with notice of our termination of your access to the Services, where, in Global Entries Online sole discretion, failure to do so would materially prejudice you. You agree that Global Entries Online will not be liable to you or any third-party as a result of its termination of your right to use or otherwise access the Services. 4.3 Except to the extent you have agreed otherwise in a separate written agreement between you and Global Entries Online, you may terminate your access to the Services and the general applicability of Terms by deleting your account. If you are a Consumer using the Services without a registered account, your only option for these Terms to no longer apply is to stop accessing the Services indefinitely. So long as you continue to access the Services, even without an account, these Terms remain in effect. If there is a separate agreement between you and Global Entries Online governing your use of the Services and that agreement terminates or expires, these Terms (as unmodified by such agreement) will govern your use of the Services after such termination or expiration. 4.4 All provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination of these Terms will survive (including, without limitation, all limitations on liability, releases, indemnification obligations, disclaimers of warranties, agreements to arbitrate, choices of law and judicial forum and intellectual property protections and licenses). 5. Release and Indemnification 5.1 Release. You hereby agree to release Global Entries Online from all damages (whether direct, indirect, incidental, consequential or otherwise), losses, liabilities, costs and expenses of every kind and nature, known and unknown, arising out of a dispute between you and a third party (including other Users) in connection with the Services or any event listed on the Services. In addition, you waive any applicable law or statute, which says, in substance: "A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE RELEASED PARTY." 5.2 Indemnification. a. To the extent permitted by the Australian Consumer Law, Global Entries Online hereby expressly disclaims all warranties of any kind, express or implied, including, but not limited to, implied warranties of merchantability, title, non-infringement and fitness for a particular purpose. Nothing herein is intended to remove your rights to statutory guarantees provided by the Australian Consumer Laws to the extent such statutory guarantees are applicable. b. Global Entries Online uses commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Services are available without interruptions and transmissions are error-free. However, by the nature of the Internet, this cannot be guaranteed. In addition, Global Entries Online may take some or all of the Services down for planned repair or maintenance from time to time. Global Entries Online will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify you prior to such planned repairs or maintenance. c. Global Entries Online does not assume any responsibility for the content, products, services, actions or inaction's of any User or third party before, during and/or after an event. You acknowledge that Global Entries Online has no control over and does not guarantee the quality, safety or legality of events advertised, the truth or accuracy of any Users’ (including Attendees’, other non-Organizers’ and Organizers’) content or listings, or the ability of any User (including Attendees and Organizers) to perform or actually complete a transaction and Global Entries Online is not affiliated with, and has no agency or employment relationship with, any third party service provider used in conjunction with the Services, and Global Entries Online has no responsibility for the acts or omissions of any such third party. However, Global Entries Online wants its customers to report any such misconduct in connection with the Services by contacting us. 6. Disclaimer of Warranties and Assumption of Risks by You. 6.1 We strive to provide Services in the way you need them, but there are some things it is important for you to understand that we cannot promise. To the extent permitted by Australian Consumer Law, the Services are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. Global Entries Online expressly disclaims all warranties of any kind, express or implied, including, but not limited to, implied warranties of merchantability, title, non-infringement and fitness for a particular purpose. For example, Global Entries Online makes no warranty that (a) the Services (or any portion of the Services) will meet your requirements or expectations; (b) the Services will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free; or (c) the results that may be obtained from the use of the Services will be accurate or reliable. You acknowledge that Global Entries Online has no control over and does not guarantee the quality, safety, accuracy or legality of any event or Content associated with an event, the truth or accuracy of any information provided by Users (including the Consumer's personal information shared with Organisers in connection with events) or the ability of any User to perform or actually complete a transaction. Global Entries Online has no responsibility to you for, and hereby disclaims all liability arising from, the acts or omissions of any third parties Global Entries Online requires to provide the Services or an Organiser chooses to assist with an event. You understand and agree that some events may carry inherent risk, and by participating in those events, you choose to assume those risks voluntarily. For example, some events may carry risk of illness, bodily injury, disability, or death, and you freely and wilfully assume those risks by choosing to participate in those events. The foregoing disclaimers apply to the maximum extent permitted by law. You may have other statutory rights. However, the duration of statutorily required warranties, if any, will be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law. 7. Limitation of Liability 7.1 To the extent permitted by applicable laws, or as otherwise set forth herein, Global Entries Online and any person or entity associated with Global Entries Online provision of the Services (e.g., an affiliate, vendor, strategic partner or employee) ("Associated Parties"), will not be liable to you or any third party, for: (a) any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive or exemplary damages, including, but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data, opportunity costs, intangible losses, or the cost of substitute services (even if Global Entries Online has been advised of the possibility of such damages). 8. IMPORTANT: BINDING ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER PROVISIONS. PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY AS IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS. ANY DISPUTE OR CLAIM UNDER THESE TERMS OR WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES WILL BE SETTLED BY BINDING ARBITRATION OR IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT (TO THE EXTENT THE CLAIM QUALIFIES) AND WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY; YOU AGREE THAT CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE ARBITRATIONS AND CIVIL ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED AND ANY RIGHTS TO BRING SUCH ACTIONS ARE WAIVED BY EACH PARTY. The parties understand that, absent this mandatory provision, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court. (a) Contact Us First. If you have a question or concern about the Services, please contact us first. Our customer support team will try to answer your question or resolve your concern. (b) Agreement to Arbitrate. In the unlikely event that our customer support team is unable to resolve your concerns, the parties (you and we) each hereby agree to resolve any and all disputes or claims under these Terms, with respect to the Services, or related to our relationship through binding arbitration or in small claims court (to the extent the claim qualifies) instead of in courts of general jurisdiction, and only on an individual basis. In no event may either we or you seek to resolve a dispute with the other as part of any purported class, consolidated or representative proceeding. Binding arbitration is subject to very limited review. Only the arbitrator appointed pursuant to this Section, and not any federal, state or local court will have the authority to resolve any dispute or claim relating to this Section including, without limitation, regarding the scope, enforceability and arbitrability of these Terms. This arbitration provision will survive termination of these Terms. (c) Scope of Agreement. This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted as to legal disputes between you and us. It includes, but is not limited to: (i) all 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; (ii) all claims that arose before this or any prior agreement (including, but not limited to, claims relating to advertising); and (iii) all claims that may arise after termination of these Terms and/or your use of the Services. (d) Exceptions. Notwithstanding this Agreement to arbitrate, either party may bring an action on an individual basis in small claims court (to the extent the applicable claim qualifies); (e) No Class Actions. YOU AND GLOBAL ENTRIES ONLINE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S CLAIMS, MAY NOT PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING AND MAY ONLY PROVIDE RELIEF IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF WARRANTED BY THAT PARTY'S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM. (f) Notice of Dispute. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other a written Notice of Dispute ("Notice"). The Notice to Global Entries Online must be addressed to the following address ("Notice Address") and must be sent by certified mail: Global Entries Online Pty Ltd, Level 8, 33 York Street, Sydney, NSW, Australia. Notice to you will be addressed to a mailing, home or payment address currently on record with Global Entries Online and must be sent by certified mail. If Global Entries Online has no records of such physical address, such notice may be delivered to your Global Entries Online account email address. The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. If Global Entries Online and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, you or Global Entries Online may commence an arbitration proceeding. (g) Location of Arbitration Proceedings. If you are a Consumer, any arbitration hearings will take place (at your option) either in the capital city of the state of your residence or by phone. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator will issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. All decisions by the arbitrator will be final and binding and judgment on the award rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. (h) Costs of Arbitration; Legal Fees. i. Payment of Costs and Expenses. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator costs and expenses, will be paid by you. ii. Payment of Legal Fees. Just as in any court proceeding, each party will initially bear its own solicitors' fees and expenses in connection with any arbitration. Should either party be determined to have substantially prevailed in the arbitration, then upon such party's request, the arbitrator will award such prevailing party the reasonable solicitors' fees and expenses that it incurred in connection with the arbitration, provided that to the extent that the dispute or claim relate to your personal or household use of the Services (rather than business use) Global Entries Online will not seek to recover its solicitors' fees and expenses in an arbitration initiated by you. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the reimbursement of solicitors' fees and expenses upon request from either party made within fourteen (14) days of the arbitrator's ruling on the merits. (i) Future Changes. Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms to the contrary, you and Global Entries Online agree that if Global Entries Online makes any future change to this arbitration provision (other than a change to the Notice Address) Global Entries Online will provide you with notice of such change and you may reject any such change by sending us written notice within thirty (30) calendar days of the change to the Notice Address provided above. By rejecting any future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of this provision as unmodified by such rejected change. (j) Special Severability. In the event that any provisions of this Section 8 are found to be invalid or unenforceable for any dispute or claim, then, the entirety of this Section 8 will be null and void with respect to such dispute or claim and Section 20 will apply in lieu of this Section 8. (k) Opt Out. You have the right to opt out and not be bound by the arbitration or class action waiver provisions set forth above by sending (from the email address we associate with you as a User) written notice of your decision to opt-out to admin@globalentriesonline.com, with the subject line, "ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER OPT-OUT." The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of your first use of the Services or your agreement to these Terms (whichever is later); otherwise, you will be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of those paragraphs. Note that if you opt out of these arbitration provisions, Global Entries Online also will not be bound by them. 9.
