Further, Users agree to notify MyEvent of any unauthorized use of their password or account. In addition and notwithstanding the foregoing, should a party other than the User register as the contact person in charge of collecting the money in the context of an event (the "Treasurer") using the User's password or account information, the User and the Treasurer each understand and agree that MyEvent will presume that the Treasurer is an authorized agent of the User and that it shall remit the money collected directly to such Treasurer and in no event shall MyEvent be requested to provide the collected funds for such Services to any other party other than the Treasurer unless the User has instructed MyEvent in writing to do so prior to MyEvent having already remitted the collected funds to the Treasurer, in which case MyEvent shall remit the funds directly to the User.

6. Pay Services

Certain of the Services made available over the MyEvent Site may be offered by MyEvent on a payment basis (hereinafter referred to as a "Pay Service"), which Pay Service may be offered by MyEvent on a "prepaid" or on a "pay as you use" basis. Should a User choose to have access to a Pay Services, she/he will be required to register as described in Section 5 above, and such User will be assigned an account for such Pay Service (the "Pay Service Account"). Each User agrees to pay all the fees applicable to such Pay Service, including any fees associated with the use of such Pay Service and any MyEvent payment service fees listed on the pricing page together with all applicable taxes (collectively, the "Fees"). Unless otherwise indicated on the relevant Pay Service description page (the "Pay Service Description"), all Fees for a Pay Service will be billed immediately to the credit card designated by such User and are non-refundable. MyEvent reserves the right to change the amount of, or basis for determining, any Fees for a Pay Service, and to institute new Fees or terms at any time effective upon notice to Users, which notice may for certainty include the posting of any such changes on the relevant pages of the MyEvent Site related to the use of the Pay Services. In connection with the foregoing, each User warrants that: (a) she/he is of the age of majority in the jurisdiction in which she/he reside, (b) all information she/he submits is true and correct (including without limitation all credit card information), and (c) she/he is the cardholder of the credit card designated by the User for the Pay Service Account. In the event that a certain amount collected by MyEvent on behalf of the User through the MyEvent payment service is charged back, the User hereby authorizes MyEvent to deduct from the funds which have been collected on behalf on the User the amount of the relevant charge back amount + a charge back fee of $20, and, if this is not possible (because the amount of the charge back is greater than the amount of the funds collected on behalf of the User), the User undertakes to repay such payback amount to MyEvent within five (5) days of MyEvent's request to do so. In the event that an individual which has purchased a ticket through the MyEvent's Site wishes to cancel its transaction and be refunded with the payment made, MyEvent shall only have to make such refund if the funds pertaining to the transaction of this individual have not already been paid out from the account of the User. If the funds pertaining to the transaction of this individual are still in the account of the User, a refund can be issued to the individual, although the amount of the Fees will first be deducted from the amount of the refund.

MyEvent does not prevent clients from saying on their website that their event has a “no refund” policy, however if there are funds in your account and the person who made a transaction on your account requests a refund, we will refund the transaction even if you have written on your website that your event or campaign has a no refund policy. This is because banks will issue chargebacks if the cardholder said they requested a refund and could not get it (regardless of the policy for that specific event).

MyEvent reserves the right to withhold the payout of funds for any reason for any account or event where the MyEvent risk department determines a specific account or event to be higher in risk. In such cases the event organizer will have the option to either wait until the MyEvent risk department releases the funds for payout, or to have all the relevant transactions refunded minus fees.

MyEvent reserves the right to withhold the payout of funds prior to an event for any account or event where the MyEvent risk department determines a specific account or event to be higher in risk. In such cases, MyEvent may request additional information about the organizer and other event suppliers in order to satisfy the MyEvent risk department's concerns. Once satisfied, MyEvent may pay out a portion of the funds prior to the event. In such cases the event organizer will have the option to either wait until the MyEvent risk department releases the funds for payout, or to have all the relevant transactions refunded minus fees.

MyEvent cannot be used to accept payment for travel related services including reservations for hotels, flights, cruises…without having a significant hold on funds until the event has passed. For more information contact MyEvent to discuss this option.

Please keep in mind that if you are accepting donations, selling tickets, using the online auction, sponsor's page or using any of the MyEvent Pay Services there is a 2 week hold on transactions before payouts. The silent auction can only be used by registered charities and those approved by our risk department. We reserve the right to hold back payout until the person who purchased the items has received the auction items. Myevent must charge applicable taxes to Canadians on all fees associated with accepting payments. These fees come out of the gross amount collected.

MyEvent may require users to verify their identity before they are paid out. MyEvent uses a third party service for identity verification. The information is not used for marketing purposes, only for ID verification and compliance with Credit Card association rules.

6A. Auction, Raffle
MyEvent only allows registered non-profits to sell tickets for a raffle.

Myevent only provides the software for these services and it is the responsibility of the client to ensure that they have the right to offer these services.

6B. Tax Receipts

6C. Payment Service

6D. Event Cancelation
If an event is cancelled for any reason, the organizer must immediately contact MyEvent.com to share their plan to refund transactions made through MyEvent.com. If MyEvent.com has already paid out the organizer, the organizer must pay back the funds to MyEvent.com so that MyEvent.com can issue refunds to participants. If the organizer does not communicate with MyEvent in a timely manner and share their plan or agree to return the funds, MyEvent reserves the right to share the organizer's contact information on their MyEvent website.
