7. Use of Stripe for Payment Processing

If you choose to make or accept payments, you agree to pay the relevant service fees. Event Exchange reserves the right to change the service fees from time to time.

Making or accepting payment requires you to maintain an account with Event Exchange's payment processor ("Payment Provider"). Event Exchange uses Stripe, Inc. ("Stripe"), a payment processing service, as its Payment Provider. If you wish to use this feature, you must enroll for the service through Stripe. By enrolling, you enter into an agreement with Stripe subject to the terms of the Stripe Connected Account Agreement, which includes the Stripe Terms of Service (collectively, the "Stripe Services Agreement"). Event Exchange is not a party to the Stripe Services Agreement and is not responsible for the payment services provided by Stripe. If Stripe discontinues providing services in connection with making or accepting payments through the Platform, you authorize Stripe to share your payment method information with an alternative Payment Provider.

Event Exchange, in its sole discretion, may from time to time impose limits on your ability to make and/or receive payments through the Platform. Additionally, the Payment Provider may impose its own limits on your use of making or accepting payments on the Platform. THE PAYMENT PROVIDER MUST ACCEPT YOUR APPLICATION TO ACCEPT PAYMENTS BEFORE YOU CAN RECEIVE RENTAL PROCEEDS VIA THE PLATFORM. IF THE PAYMENT PROVIDER REJECTS YOUR APPLICATION OR YOU FAIL TO SET UP A PAYMENT PROVIDER ACCOUNT WITHIN 90 DAYS AFTER COMPLETION OF A RENTAL PROCESSED THROUGH THE PLATFORM, THEN THE PAYMENT PROVIDER MAY DISABLE OR LIMIT YOUR ABILITY TO RECEIVE RENTAL PROCEEDS.

YOUR RIGHT AND/OR ABILITY TO RECEIVE RENTAL PROCEEDS VIA THE PLATFORM MAY BE REVOKED, DISABLED, OR LIMITED IF THE LISTING OR RENTAL VIOLATES ANY OF THESE TERMS.

The Renter's payment, minus any applicable Event Exchange fees, will be released to the Owner typically 3 to 5 business days after a rental has been completed, provided that no issues or incidents are reported to Event Exchange. Issues or incidents may result in delay and/or cancellation of payment being released. Owners authorize the Payment Provider to pay Event Exchange from Owner’s account any fees incurred by the Owner or Seller from using the Platform.

8. Listings, Listing Conditions, and Rental Listing Prices

Owners are responsible for creating their own Listings, and for the accuracy and content of their Listings. Owners must accurately describe the Listing and all of the Listing contents, so that the Renter, Event Exchange, law enforcement, or courts can review exactly what a Renter rented. Owners must only upload photos that accurately represent the Listing that they are offering to rent to a Renter.

The Owner of each rental item listed on Event Exchange must set the Listing Replacement Value dollar amount for their respective items. Owner acknowledges that they are solely responsible for setting the Listing Replacement Value dollar amount for their rental items and providing clear information regarding the Listing Replacement Value dollar amount in the rental listing.

When prompted, Owners may select to require the Event Exchange Damage Waiver in order for a Listing to be rented. Owner acknowledges the Event Exchange Damage Waiver is not an insurance policy, and that the Event Exchange Damage Waiver is provided to the Renter by Owner to waive the Renter of their potential liability of the cost to repair or replace the rented Listing at the time of rental. It is the Owner’s sole discretion and responsibility to determine and procure 3rd party insurance that covers their rental item(s). Event Exchange is not an insurance provider, broker, or agent. Event Exchange is not licensed in any state or country to be an insurance provider, broker, or agent. As an Owner, you may elect to initiate a claim under their own or an associated third-party insurance policy (homeowners policy, tenant/renters policy, equipment policy, etc.) for any damage to or theft of the rented Listing. Renter and Owner acknowledge Event Exchange will be free from any financial responsibility, financially or otherwise, related to Renter’s, Owner’s and/or third-party insurance policy claims. Owner shall serve as the recipient of the damage waiver fee, which shall be calculated at 10% of the total rental cost. The Renter, upon checkout, shall remit this fee, and the fee is subject to Event Exchange's service fees, as stipulated within the terms and conditions of the agreement. Claims may be submitted to claims@eventexchange.co.

When prompted, Owners are responsible for setting an accurate Listing condition from predetermined condition categories that are provided by Event Exchange. Each condition category has a description that Owners must review and select. Owners can also provide any specific information about the condition of a Listing in the Listing description. If a Renter does not agree with the condition category that the Owner selected and/or the condition description that the Owner added after the Renter receives their rental Listing, the issue or incidents may result in delay and/or cancellation of payment being released.

Event Exchange reserves the right to change the price of an Owner’s Listing. Event Exchange does so in order to maintain reasonable rental prices relative to other listing prices, with the intention to increase the likelihood that an Owner will have their Listing rented by a Renter. If an Owner does not agree with a price change, they have the option of closing their listing at any time, refusing to accept a rental request, and/or contacting Event Exchange to discuss the issue.

9. Renters, Rental Period, and Renter Liability

The period of time between when the Owner (or the Owner’s Authorized Person) releases custody and control of the Listing to the Renter (or the Renter’s Authorized Person) and when the Renter (or the Renter’s Authorized Person) returns custody and control of the Listing to the Owner (or the Owner’s Authorized Person) is known as the “Rental Period.” A Renter must request an initial Rental Period, with a set Listing pick-up day and time and a set Listing return day and time, and the Owner may accept the Rental Period that the Renter requests. A Renter must request any modifications to an initial Rental Period, with a set Listing pick-up day and time and a set Listing return day and time, and the Owner may accept any modifications to Rental Period that the Renter requests. Any Renter modifications to the Rental Period that are not accepted by the Owner are not authorized and may result in Event Exchange or the Owner making a police report against the Renter and pursuing legal action against the Renter.

If the Renter damages, loses, steals, converts, transfers custody and control to a third-party, and/or fails to return the Owner’s Listing, within the Rental Period, the Renter agrees that they are liable for and agree to immediately pay and/or forfeit the security deposit (as provided on the Listing when a Renter requests a Listing). Renters are not liable for pre-existing damage or issues with an Owner’s Listing, if there is proof of pre-existing damage or issues or if the pre-existing damage or issues are not caused by the Renter’s rental and use of the Listing. We always recommend that both Owners and Renters use rental checksheets and thoroughly inspect Listings that they rent.

Event Exchange is not liable for a User’s (or the User’s Authorized Person) deceptive or fraudulent acts, the voluntary parting of Listings, the theft of Listings, and/or any other loss caused by User’s (or the User’s Authorized Person) deceptive or fraudulent acts and a User’s (or the User’s Authorized Person) use of EventExchange.co, but Event Exchange will completely cooperate with the investigation and produce information about the incident and parties involved, working with law enforcement and any insurance companies involved.

NOTE: AS STATED ABOVE, THE PLATFORM IS INTENDED TO BE USED TO FACILITATE OWNERS AND RENTERS CONNECTING, COMMUNICATING, LISTING, AND/OR RENTING, LISTINGS DIRECTLY WITH EACH OTHER. EVENT EXCHANGE CANNOT AND DOES NOT CONTROL THE CONTENT CONTAINED IN ANY PROFILES, USER-TO-USER CORRESPONDENCE, AND LISTINGS AND THE CONDITION, LEGALITY, OR SUITABILITY OF ANY LISTINGS. EVENT EXCHANGE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR AND DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL LIABILITY RELATED TO ANY AND ALL PROFILES, USER-TO-USER CORRESPONDENCE, AND LISTINGS. ACCORDINGLY, ANY RENTALS WILL BE MADE AT THE USER’S OWN RISK. IN NO EVENT SHALL EVENT EXCHANGE BE LIABLE TO A USER OR A RELATED THIRD-PARTY FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, OR ANY DAMAGES RESULTING FROM LOSS OF USE, DATA, OR PROFITS, WHETHER OR NOT ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF DAMAGE, AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE USE OR PERFORMANCE OF ANY PROFILES, USER-TO-USER CORRESPONDENCE, AND LISTINGS OR THE INFORMATION ON EVENT EXCHANGE'S PLATFORM.

By purchasing the Event Exchange Damage Waiver from Owner, you, the Renter of a Listing from an Owner on Event Exchange, assume all responsibility and will be liable for all damage to, theft of, or loss of the Listing during the Rental Period. In order to reduce your exposure for such liability, Owner may offer the Event Exchange Damage Waiver, which will reduce (but not eliminate) your responsibility for accidental damage to the rented Listing. In return for paying the cost of the Event Exchange Damage Waiver to Owner, so long as you fully comply with Event Exchange's Terms and Community Rules, Owner will be financially responsible for the repair or replacement of the rented Listing, unless one or more of the Event Exchange Damage Waiver Exclusions applies as determined by Event Exchange, for the duration of the Rental Period, minus any applicable deductible(s) (which can range, as the deductible is 10% the Listing Replacement Value(s) (as provided on the Listing when a Renter requests a rental).

If damage or loss occurs to the rented item during the Rental Period, the owner of the item initiates the claims process by filing a claim with Event Exchange. Upon filing the claim, the renter, who purchased the Event Exchange Damage Waiver, is promptly notified. Any deductible(s) are immediately due to the Owner of the Listing by the Renter of the Listing upon filing of the claim by Owner to Event Exchange. This payment is required without delay and must be remitted directly to the owner. Failure to fulfill this obligation may result in Event Exchange exercising the right to charge the renter's payment method on their Event Exchange Account or utilize alternative methods to collect the outstanding debt. It is imperative for both parties to adhere strictly to the claims process delineated in the agreement to ensure fair and timely resolution in instances of damages or losses incurred during the rental period. Claims must be filed within 10 days of the end of the Rental Period to be considered valid.

The Event Exchange Damage Waiver will apply to the rental transaction that it was purchased for, to the Renter listed on the Rental Invoice, during the listed Rental Period.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: The loss and damage limitations set forth below are subject to your compliance with all of your obligations under the Terms and Community Rules. Even if the Event Exchange Damage Waiver is purchased, you agree that you will be responsible for the full amount of damages to or loss of the rented Listing if you fail to comply with all of your obligations under the Terms of Service and Community Rules.

EVENT EXCHANGE DAMAGE WAIVER EXCLUSIONS: A violation of the Agreement (these Terms) shall exist and the Event Exchange Damage Waiver is void and shall not apply to the following situations:

1. Damage or loss of the rented Listing may result from: a) intentional misconduct; b) occurrences outside the United States; c) dampness, dryness, or extreme temperatures; d) negligence or recklessness of the Renter or any other party; e) failure to follow provided instructions; f) failure to operate according to manufacturer's recommendations; g) failure to perform necessary maintenance; h) improper securing, storing, or transporting, including theft or vandalism from various locations; i) improper securing, storing, or transporting resulting in damage or loss; j) Environmental Pollution, War, Civil War, Terrorism, Act of God, and other natural disasters.
2. Damage or loss may result from: a) alteration or modification without consent; b) improper or unauthorized use; c) violation of laws or regulations; d) usage under the influence; e) intentional or criminal acts; f) breach of Terms or Community Rules; g) failure to comply with provided instructions.
3. Damage or loss may arise from the Renter's or any other party's failure to: a) secure, maintain, and safeguard the rented Listing; b) use and operate according to provided instructions; c) notify the appropriate parties of incidents or accidents; d) perform proper inspection and condition reporting; e) ensure consistent condition throughout the Rental Period.
4. Damage or loss may result from: a) inadequate maintenance or upkeep; b) failure to properly secure, store, or transport; c) insufficient inspection and reporting; d) inadequate cleaning and sanitization.
5. Damage or loss may be caused by: a) acts or omissions of any third party; b) acts or omissions of the Listing Owner or Event Exchange; c) any Force Majeure Event.

Event Exchange considers any major scratches, scuffs, dents, broken pieces, or other major damage caused unintentionally or accidentally to be damage. Normal wear and tear (including scratches, scuffs, dents, or other less significant damage) is not considered to be damage. The determination of whether the damage is unintentional and not caused due to other circumstances, actions, or inactions, or if it is considered normal wear and tear as described herein, is at the sole discretion of Event Exchange.

As a Renter, you may elect to initiate a claim under your own or an associated third-party's insurance policy (homeowners policy, tenant/renters policy, equipment policy, etc.) for any damage to or theft of the rented Listing. As an Owner, you may elect to initiate a claim under their own or an associated third-party insurance policy (homeowners policy, tenant/renters policy, equipment policy, etc.) for any damage to or theft of the rented Listing. Renter and Owner acknowledge Event Exchange will be free from any financial responsibility, financially or otherwise, related to Renter’s, Owner’s and/or third-party insurance policy claims.

REPRESENTATIONS: You, the Renter, represent and warrant that: (a) You are a natural person, at least 18 years of age or older; (b) You have read, understand, and agree to all the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement; (c) You are the authorized holder of the payment card(s) or account(s) used to purchase the Event Exchange Damage Waiver; (d) You have been given a full and fair opportunity to consider the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement before signing it; and (e) You understand that you may seek the advice of an attorney of your choice at your own expense before signing this Agreement.

ARBITRATION PROCEDURES ARE SIMPLER AND MORE LIMITED THAN COURT PROCEDURES.

Any claim, dispute or controversy (whether in contract, tort or otherwise, whether preexisting, present or future, and including statutory, consumer protection, common law, intentional tort, injunctive and equitable claims) between you and Event Exchange, its agents, employees, principals, successors, assigns, affiliates (collectively with Event Exchange, the "Event Exchange Parties") arising from or relating to this Agreement, its interpretation, or the breach, termination or validity thereof, the relationships which result from this Agreement (including, to the full extent permitted by applicable law, relationships with third parties who are not signatories to this Agreement), Event Exchange’s advertising, or any related purchase SHALL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY AND FINALLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION ADMINISTERED BY THE NATIONAL ARBITRATION FORUM (NAF) under the Code of Procedure of ARBITRATION-FORUM.COM (the "Code") in effect at the time the claim is filed.

If you are allowing a minor to be in the presence of and/or use of the Listing, you acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for the supervision of that minor throughout the duration of the Rental Period, and have read this Release and Waiver and agree to it on the minor’s behalf. If you are renting a Listing on behalf of another person or company, you will ensure, and you represent and warrant that each person or company on whose behalf you book has read and agreed to this Listing Release and Waiver, which shall apply to each of them as if the reference to “you” was a reference to him/her.

If you notice any hazard during the Rental Period, you will stop participating in the rental immediately and inform the listing Owner.

If you reside in California, you expressly waive the protection of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code (“Section 1542”), which provides: A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS/HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM/HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS/HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR. You understand and agree that claims or facts in addition to or different from those which are now known or believed by you to exist may hereafter be discovered.

Indemnification: You agree that if, despite this Listing Release and Waiver, you or anyone on your behalf make a claim against the Listing Owner relating to a Listing rental, you will indemnify and hold the Listing Owner harmless from any liability, demand, loss, damage, or costs which the Owner may incur as the result of such claim.

YOU AFFIRM THAT YOU HAVE READ THIS LISTING RELEASE AND WAIVER AND FULLY UNDERSTAND THE ASSUMPTION OF RISK, RELEASE, WAIVER, AND CONSENT CONTAINED IN IT. YOU FURTHER UNDERSTAND THAT YOU HAVE GIVEN UP RIGHTS BY AGREEING TO THE TERMS, AND HAVE DONE SO FREELY AND VOLUNTARILY, AND WITHOUT INDUCEMENT.

27. Disputes (Agreement to Arbitrate)

THE FOLLOWING SECTION AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS REGARDING HOW CLAIMS YOU AND EVENT EXCHANGE HAVE AGAINST EACH OTHER, AND HOW CLAIMS YOU AND OTHER USERS HAVE AGAINST EACH OTHER, ARE RESOLVED. PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY.

Subject to applicable law, you and Event Exchange agree that any claim or dispute at law or equity that has arisen or may arise between us, or may arise between us, relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any previous versions of the Agreement, your use of and access to the Service, or any breach, termination, or enforcement of this Agreement will be resolved in accordance with the provisions set forth in this “Disputes (Agreement to Arbitrate)” section of the Agreement. This will preclude you from bringing any class, collective, or representative action against Event Exchange and also preclude you from participating in or recovering relief under any current or future class, collective, consolidated, or representative action brought against Event Exchange by someone else.

Contact Event Exchange: If a dispute arises between you and Event Exchange, we want to do our best to help resolve the dispute. Disputes between you and us may be reported to legal@eventexchange.co.

Applicable Law: You agree that the laws of the State of California, without regard to principles of conflict of laws, will govern these Terms and any claim or dispute that has arisen or may arise between you and Event Exchange, except as otherwise stated in this Agreement.

Agreement to Arbitrate: You and Event Exchange each agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and Event Exchange (including its respective subsidiaries, employees, officers, directors, and agents), or between your and another User, relating in any way to or arising out of this or previous versions of the Agreement, your use of, or access to the Service, or any services sold, offered or purchased through the Platform or any breach, enforcement, or termination of this Agreement shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, as an alternative to resolving a dispute in court, except that each party retains the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the threatened or actual infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights. The Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (“FAA”) governs the interpretation and enforcement of this “Disputes (Agreement to Arbitrate)” section.

Prohibition of Class Name and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief: YOU AND EVENT EXCHANGE AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS USER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND EVENT EXCHANGE AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S OR PARTY'S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS NAME PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY'S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S). ANY RELIEF AWARDED CANNOT AFFECT OTHER EVENT EXCHANGE USERS.

Arbitration Procedures: Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, and court review of an arbitration award is very limited. An arbitrator may award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual. An arbitrator also must follow the terms of these Terms as a court would.

You and Event Exchange agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy under $25,000 in value arising out of or relating to this Agreement, whether between you and Event Exchange or between you and other Users, or the existence, breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof, shall be settled by binding arbitration administered or conducted by FairClaims (www.FairClaims.com) and not in a court of law, in accordance with its Arbitration Rules & Procedures effective at the time a claim is made. You further agree that judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Any FairClaims arbitration hearing shall be held via videoconference. You consent to electronic service of process, with service to be made to the email address we have on record for your account.

You and Event Exchange agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy $25,000 and over in value arising out of or relating to this Agreement, whether between you and Event Exchange or between you and other Users, or the existence, breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, shall be settled by binding arbitration administered or conducted by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") (https://www.adr.org) under its rules and procedures, including the AAA's Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes (as applicable), as modified by this “Disputes (Agreement to Arbitrate)” section of the Agreement. The AAA's rules are available at www.adr.org. A form for initiating arbitration proceedings is available on the AAA's services at http://www.adr.org. The arbitration shall be held in Los Angeles County, California, or at another mutually agreed location.

You or Event Exchange may elect to have the arbitration conducted by telephone or based solely on written submissions, which election shall be binding on you and Event Exchange subject to the arbitrator's discretion to require an in-person hearing, if the circumstances warrant. Attendance at an in-person hearing may be made by telephone by you and/or Event Exchange, unless the arbitrator requires otherwise. The arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with the laws of the State of California, including recognized principles of equity, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law. The arbitrator shall not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving different Users, but is bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same User to the extent required by applicable law. The arbitrator's award shall be final and binding, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

Costs of FairClaims Arbitration: The parties agree to split all FairClaims fees evenly, or Event Exchange may elect, but is not obligated to, to cover all FairClaims fees. You agree that, in the event of confirmation and enforcement, the delinquent party to the arbitration will be responsible for any attorney, court, or other fees associated with such action.

Costs of AAA Arbitration: Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules, unless otherwise stated in this Agreement to Arbitrate. In the event the arbitrator determines the claim(s) you assert in the arbitration to be frivolous, you agree to reimburse Event Exchange for all fees associated with the arbitration paid by Event Exchange on your behalf that you otherwise would be obligated to pay under the AAA's rules.

Non-Disclosure: You agree that any and all communications and evidence related to any dispute ultimately resolved by arbitration or mediation with FairClaims or AAA arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be held and will remain confidential and that you will not take any action that will harm the reputation of any of the other parties to the arbitration or mediation or Event Exchange, or which would reasonably be expected to lead to unwanted or unfavorable publicity to and of the parties, Event Exchange or other entities involved in or incidental to the arbitration or mediation. You understand that those parties and entities include but are not limited to the claimant, respondent, witnesses, and Event Exchange.

Severability: With the exception of any of the provisions in any subsection of this Agreement to Arbitrate ("Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief"), if a court decides that any part of this Agreement to Arbitrate is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of this Agreement to Arbitrate shall still apply. If a court decides that any of the provisions in a subsection of this Agreement to Arbitrate ("Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief") is invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Agreement to Arbitrate shall be null and void. The remainder of the Terms, including all other provisions of this “Disputes (Agreement to Arbitrate)” section, will continue to apply.

31. Release of Event Exchange and Limitation on Liability

If you have a dispute with a Event Exchange User, Authorized Person (including its affiliates or their licensors, service providers, employees, agents, officers or directors, or associates), Authorized Person, any third-parties (including but not limited to related insurance carriers, insurance agents, and/or insurance companies), you release Event Exchange, its affiliates or their licensors, service providers, employees, agents, officers or directors, from any and all claims, demands, and damages (actual and consequential damages) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes. In entering into this release you expressly waive any protections (whether statutory or otherwise – e.g., California Civil Code Section 1542) that would otherwise limit the coverage of this release to include only those claims which you may know or suspect to exist in your favor at the time of agreeing to this release.

IN NO EVENT WILL EVENT EXCHANGE, ITS AFFILIATES OR THEIR LICENSORS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OFFICERS OR DIRECTORS BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, UNDER ANY LEGAL THEORY, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE PLATFORM, ANY SERVICES LINKED TO IT, ANY CONTENT ON THE PLATFORM OR SUCH OTHER PLATFORMS OR ANY SERVICES OR ITEMS OBTAINED THROUGH THE PLATFORM OR SUCH OTHER PLATFORMS, INCLUDING ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, PERSONAL INJURY, PAIN AND SUFFERING, EMOTIONAL DISTRESS, LOSS OF REVENUE, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF BUSINESS OR ANTICIPATED SAVINGS, LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF GOODWILL, LOSS OF DATA, AND WHETHER CAUSED BY TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), BREACH OF CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF FORESEEABLE. THE FOREGOING DOES NOT AFFECT ANY LIABILITY WHICH CANNOT BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.

THE LIMITATIONS OF DAMAGES SET FORTH ABOVE ARE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN EVENT EXCHANGE AND YOU. WE WOULD NOT PROVIDE THE SERVICE WITHOUT SUCH LIMITATIONS. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

IF YOU RESIDE IN CALIFORNIA, YOU EXPRESSLY WAIVE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1542, OR ANY SIMILAR LAW, WHICH PROVIDES: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.” YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT CLAIMS OR FACTS IN ADDITION TO OR DIFFERENT FROM THOSE WHICH ARE NOW KNOWN OR BELIEVED BY YOU TO EXIST MAY HEREAFTER BE DISCOVERED.

YOU AFFIRM THAT YOU HAVE READ THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING THIS RELEASE OF EVENT EXCHANGE AND LIMITATION ON LIABILITY SECTION AND FULLY UNDERSTAND THE ASSUMPTION OF RISK, RELEASE, WAIVER, AND LIMITATION ON EVENT EXCHANGE’S LIABILITY, AND CONSENT CONTAINED IN IT. YOU FURTHER UNDERSTAND THAT YOU HAVE GIVEN UP RIGHTS BY AGREEING TO THESE TERMS, AND HAVE DONE SO FREELY AND VOLUNTARILY, AND WITHOUT INDUCEMENT.

32. Assumption of Rights
