5. FEES, CHARGES, AND PAYMENT METHODS
5.1. OVERVIEW
Showpass charges a per-ticket or per-Item fee (as applicable) for our Services. For both the Showpass transaction processor and payment processing fees are assessed as percentage of the discounted face value of each ticket or other Item sold, plus an additional flat dollar amount per ticket or Item sold. Showpass’ per-ticket or per-Item fee for ticket and Item sales and per-ticket and per-Item refund processing fee for ticket or Item refunds, together with any other payment referred to as a “Fee” in these Terms, are collectively referred to as “Fees”. The Organizer determines whether the applicable Fees will be shown as fees or absorbed into the price of any Item. The Organizer is responsible to pay us the Fees (which Fees may be included in the price of any Item) and in addition, we are entitled to deduct any Fees from any of the Organizer’s booking or sales revenue as provided in these Terms.

Organizer is responsible to input the pricing for each Item relating to an Event, prior to Showpass commencing the provision of Services with respect to such Event. Such price determinations will include the Service Fee and will include all governmental charges, taxes, levies or similar fees to which the Event, Items and Organizer are subject, any Organizer or venue charges (if determined reasonable by Showpass in its sole discretion), and any amusement tax with respect to the provision of Services by Showpass or the sale of any Item to which the Organizer is subject.

All Fees and any other monies contemplated by these Terms are payable in Canadian Dollars, or in any foreign currency accepted by Showpass for Events, Items or Fees in another country or jurisdiction as shown on our Site.
5.2. SHOWPASS TRANSACTION PROCESSOR AND PAYMENT PROCESSOR
The Showpass transaction processor and payment processing provides for direct payment processing by Showpass of payments by Patrons for purchases of tickets or other Items (including any amount associated with the payments) from registered Organizers. For use of the Showpass transaction processor, Organizers are assessed a transaction processing Fee payable to Showpass based on the package of Services to which the Organizer is subscribed and the associated Fee published on our website at www.showpass.com/pricing (as amended or modified from time to time), or as otherwise set forth in a written agreement between the Organizer and Showpass. Showpass may discontinue, modify or replace any package of Services offered, and in such case Showpass reserves the right to subscribe the Organizer to a new package of Services (subject to requirements of Sections 17) deemed to be of the closest fit (as determined by Showpass in its sole discretion, acting reasonably) and assess the associated published Fees.

For use of the Showpass payment processing, Organizers are assessed a processing Fee payable to Showpass in an amount equal to 2.9% of the discounted face value of each ticket or other Item sold, plus an additional $0.30 per ticket or Item sold, or as otherwise set forth in a written agreement between the Organizer and Showpass.

Such Fees are payable to Showpass on the date that the associated payment is collected through the Showpass transaction processor or otherwise paid by the Patron. Showpass agrees with registered Organizers that, through the Showpass transaction processor:

(i) Showpass will collect the payments for the tickets or other Items (including any amount associated with the payments) on behalf of the Organizer from the Patron;

(ii) Showpass will deduct from all amounts held on the Organizer’s behalf, applicable Fees due to Showpass as and when such Fees become due and any other amount then due to Showpass for any reason, and following such deduction, will pay the balance to the Organizer either via cheque delivered by mail at the address that the Organizer provides to us through the Site, or, for Organizers utilizing the ACH/EFT Direct Deposit function, by direct deposit into the account authorized by the Organizer. The Organizer represents and warrants to Showpass that the mailing address and/or chequing account information provided to us is accurate and that the Organizer will update this information as necessary to maintain its accuracy; and

(iii) Showpass will use commercially reasonable efforts to submit payment for the balance due to the Organizer under clause (ii) above in respect of an Event within seven (7) business days after the date for the completion of the Event; provided that, Showpass reserves the right to withhold funds at any time as Showpass in its sole discretion determines to be necessary for the processing and settlement of all returns, disputed charges, customer complaints, allegations of fraud, chargebacks, expected chargebacks and other discrepancies. Without limiting Showpass’ right to withhold any funds for such period as it determines is necessary, this withholding will generally amount to approximately 10% of all sales, for possible refund purposes, to be returned after seven to 14 days after the Event. Showpass’ obligation to pay any amount to the Organizer is subject to Sections 5.3 to 5.7 inclusive and Section 6 of these Terms.
5.3. REFUNDS
It is the Organizer’s responsibility to communicate its refund policy to Patrons. In the event of cancelled or postponed Events, the Organizer’s refund policy will be superseded by Showpass’ refund policy set forth in Section (5.3)(ii) of these Terms below. The Organizer will ensure that its refund policy is consistent with the terms and conditions of these Terms, the payment and refund processes included in the Services, and all applicable legal, regulatory and other governmental requirements. All communications or disputes regarding refunds are between the Organizer and the Patron, and Showpass will not be liable to the Organizer or to any Patron for any decision to issue or not issue refunds. Showpass will not be obligated or liable to any Patron in connection with any use of, or failure to use, the refund policy set forth in Section (5.3)(ii) of these Terms below.

Notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms, Showpass will not provide refunds of any amount on account of Fees, except in its discretion pursuant to Section 5.3(iii) of these Terms below If an Organizer desires to issue a refund for Fees to Patrons, or if an Organizer is required to issue a refund for Fees pursuant to Section 5.3(ii) of these Terms below, it is the Organizer’s sole responsibility to issue the payment on account of Fees directly to its Patrons or submit payment to Showpass of the amount on account of Fees prior to Showpass refunding that amount to such Patrons. Showpass charges a per-ticket or per-Item refund Fee for all refunds processed through our transaction processor or payment processor or otherwise hereunder equal to 5% of the original, non-discounted price of the applicable ticket or other Item (the “Refund Fee”).

Notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms, Showpass will not provide refunds of any Item which is Merchandise.

(i) Individual Refunds. If a Patron desires to request a refund (other than a refund for a Cancellation (as defined below)), the Patron must request the refund from the Organizer. If the Organizer desires to fulfill the request, the Organizer may utilize the Services or contact Showpass to process the refund, in which case the Refund Fee will apply. Showpass agrees with the Organizer that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to process refunds issued and requested to be issued by such Organizer in a timely manner after such Organizer authorizes the issuance of the refunds and provides to Showpass sufficient amounts, in immediately available funds (including amounts on account of Fees due or paid to Showpass), to process the refunds. Showpass will not provide individual refunds which have not been authorized and funded by the Organizer in accordance with this Section and will not refund Fees due or paid to Showpass.

(ii) Cancelled or Rescheduled Events. No payments will be made to an Organizer from Showpass with respect to any Item or Event that is cancelled, removed, discontinued, or otherwise not proceeding (or for which the Organizer otherwise authorizes a refund) (a “Cancellation”). In the event of a Cancellation, Showpass and the Organizer agree that Showpass will invoice the Organizer for an additional amount equal to all Fees (including the Refund Fee) due or paid to Showpass for such Items or Events (the “Fee Amount”), which invoice shall be due seven (7) days from the invoice date. Showpass agrees with the Organizer that it will thereafter process refunds to Patrons as follows: (a) upon payment of the Fee Amount in full and provided the Organizer’s balance held by Showpass following such payment (after deduction by Showpass of any amounts then owing to it by the Organizer) is available and sufficient to fund a full refund to Patrons, Showpass will, as soon as practicable, issue a full refund to Patrons; (b) upon payment of the Fee Amount in full but the Organizer’s balance held by Showpass following such payment (after deduction by Showpass of any amounts then owing to it by the Organizer) is not sufficient to fund a full refund to Patrons, Showpass will, as soon as practicable, issue a partial refund to Patrons to the extent the Organizer’s balance (net of deductions) is available to fund such partial refund; and (c) if the Organizer fails to pay the Fee Amount to Showpass when due, Showpass will, as soon as practicable (after deduction by Showpass of any amounts then owing to it by the Organizer), issue a partial refund to Patrons to the extent the Organizer’s balance (net of deductions) is available to fund such partial refund, and in each case Showpass will have no further liability or obligation to the Organizer or any Patron with respect to any such refund or any Cancellation. In no event will Showpass be obligated to utilize its own funds to fund any refund. If an Event is rescheduled, Showpass will use its sole discretion to determine whether it is considered a Cancellation and therefore subject to the refund policy described in this Section.

(iii) Notwithstanding Sections 5.3(i) and 5.3(ii), Organizers acknowledge and agree that, to protect its reputation and the integrity of the Site, Showpass will have the right (but not the obligation) to force or provide a refund to Patrons of any or all amounts paid for tickets or other Items (other than Merchandise) at any time for any reason or no reason, including, but not limited to, if Showpass receives complaints from a substantial number (as determined by Showpass in its sole discretion) of Patrons with respect to an Event or Items, or Showpass determines in its sole discretion that the Organizer has engaged in any fraudulent activity with respect to, or made any misrepresentations to, any Patron or Showpass in respect of any Item or Event. Such refund may include an amount on account of Fees as determined by Showpass in its discretion. Showpass will have no liability whatsoever to an Organizer in connection with or arising from any such decision to force or provide refunds, and the Organizer will promptly reimburse Showpass for any amount refunded by Showpass on account of Fees and promptly pay to Showpass the Refund Fee. Showpass will have no liability whatsoever to any Patron in connection with any decision to, or not to, for or provide refunds under this Section.
5.4. CREDIT CARD CHARGEBACKS
Any credit card chargebacks initiated by a Patron for any reason with respect to an Item or Event will be charged back to the Organizer. Showpass in its sole discretion will either (i) deduct such costs from such Organizer’s outstanding balance, whether for that particular Event or for any other Event that such Organizer lists through the Services; or (ii) send an invoice to such Organizer for such costs to the extent such balance is insufficient to cover such costs. If payment for such invoice is not received by Showpass within thirty (30) days after the invoice date, Showpass reserves the right, at Showpass’ sole discretion, to terminate these Terms as between Showpass and such Organizer. All communications and disputes regarding chargebacks are between the Organizer and Patron, and Showpass will not be responsible or liable in any way to Organizers or Patrons for credit card chargebacks.
5.5. CONFIRMATION
Upon receipt of a credit card authorization from each individual purchaser, Showpass generates a confirmation message and issues a unique confirmation number. Each Organizer agrees, with respect to its Events, to unconditionally accept, honor, and fulfill all ticketing and other commitments that have been confirmed by Showpass through the Services with respect to any such Event (and not returned or voided), and it is such Organizer’s responsibility to verify the applicable Patron’s membership status, confirmation number and/or any restrictions prior to the any admission or delivery. If we learn that the Organizer is not honouring our commitments, we reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to terminate these Terms as between Showpass and such Organizer.
5.6. OVER-SALE CHARGES
Organizer is solely responsible for setting the number of Admission Items available for purchase for each event. Organizer will manually enter ticket types, ticket quantities and ticket prices on the Showpass client back-end for each individual Event. Organizer represents, warrants and covenants that the number of tickets or other Admission Items for sale with respect to each Event is within the legal fire regulations and venue capacity limitations as set forth by the applicable municipal, provincial or federal authority or by applicable law. If over sales of tickets or other Admission Items occur (for example, selling tickets in excess of the venue capacity), Organizer agrees that it will refund the full ticket or other Admission Item price, plus any and all related Service Fees, to the purchaser holding any such affected and unused tickets or other Admission Items pursuant to Section 5.6. Organizer further agrees that Organizer will pay Showpass for the full refunded Service Fees for such Tickets that are refunded under this Section 5.6. If the Organizer requests Showpass to process the refund, the refund will be processed by Showpass in accordance with Section 5.3(i).
5.7. OVERDUE AMOUNTS
In the event the Organizer does not pay to Showpass any amount required to paid by it under these Terms on the date such amount is due (or if no due date is expressed, upon demand by Showpass), Showpass will be entitled to recover from the Organizer, in addition to any amounts otherwise owing, its reasonable costs of collection, including, but not limited to, collection agency fees, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and court costs. Any amounts not paid by the Organizer to Showpass when due shall thereafter bear interest, both before and after judgment, at an annual rate equal to the prime rate of the Royal Bank of Canada, Main Branch, Calgary, AB., plus 3%. Notwithstanding any other provisions of these Terms, Showpass may set off any funds it holds on behalf of Organizer against any amounts due to Showpass, under these Terms.
6. TAXES; WITHHOLDING
The Organizer is responsible for (and will indemnify and hold harmless Showpass from and against) all taxes or other governmental charges in connection with the provision of the Services including, but not limited to, the provision of the actual Services, any sales of any Item or otherwise in connection with any Event (excepting taxes based on Showpass’ net income) including, but not limited to, any GST, PST, HST or amusement tax. It is the Organizer’s responsibility to know if any applicable laws apply to it or the Event or any purchase or sale in respect thereof and to adjust the applicable price accordingly to account for payment of these taxes or other governmental charges. An Organizer may present its prices as inclusive or exclusive of such taxes or other governmental charges in accordance with applicable law.

If Showpass determines that it is required to collect, remit or pay any such taxes or other charges in connection with the provision of the Services including, but not limited to, the actual provision of the Services or any sales of any Item or in connection with any Event, it may deduct such amounts from any amount payable to the Organizer under these Terms or invoice the Organizer for such taxes or other charges, which invoice will be payable thirty (30) days after the invoice date. Showpass reserves the right to withhold the payment of any amounts payable to the Organizer hereunder if Showpass suspects or determines that such amounts have been generated in (i) a fraudulent manner or in a manner involving misrepresentation, (ii) breach of these Terms, or (iii) violation of any federal, provincial, or local laws, or any applicable foreign laws.
7. ITEM RESTRICTIONS
Organizer will accurately and truthfully describe all Items and Events when such Items and Events are submitted to Showpass to be posted on the Showpass Website, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, will ensure that it provides to Showpass a description any restrictions associated with any such Item or Event including any restriction for admission or usage.  Organizer will also ensure that such restriction is lawful and does not violate any federal, provincial, or local laws, or any applicable foreign laws, prior to submitting the Item or Event to Showpass.  If Showpass determines, in its sole discretion, that Organizer misrepresented any Item or Event to Showpass or any Patron, or engaged in any fraudulent activity with respect to any Item or Event, Showpass may immediately remove any such Items or Events from the Showpass Website without notice to Organizer and may issue a refund for such Items (other than Merchandise) pursuant to Section 5.3(iii) in addition to any applicable termination or other rights it may have pursuant to this Agreement.
