5.1 LISTING SERVICE AND LIMITED AGENT.
Redballer do not own all events listed on the service, each event is 100% organized and administered by the creators. Redballer only provides a platform and tools through which independent event organizers list and promote their events, when you buy tickets to an event on redballer you are buying directly from the event owner, payment made by you goes directly into the seller’s escrow account and these accounts are held in trust and protected by redballer.
the escrow account holds the fund in trust until after 3 days, starting from the date of delivery e.g a day after event date. Payment will only be ready for release to the Event Organizer if after the 3 days grace there was no complaint of fraud, event did not hold or was cancelled or any other issue that attendee is not happy with, if a complaint was received within the 3 days’ time frame the escrow account will hold on to the fund until the issue is resolved.
Complaints should be sent to the seller and a copy of the complaint should be sent to redballer, here is how to copy to redballer, click on the event owner’s profile, click on report, select type and post a copy of the complaint inside the box provided, this way you notify us of development and stop release of escrow until issues are resolved, we usually don’t meddle into issues between event owners and attendees, we only monitor developments but if we suspect that the issue is getting out of hands or issue has been unresolved for a time longer than expected then we may be forced to involve our team.
Failure to file a complaint after delivery of service will be assumed to mean a happy customer and a happy transaction then payment will be made available and ready for release and will be released immediately the seller requests for payment.
It is the sole obligation of the event organizer to ensure that any event listed on the site and the nature and conduct of the underlying event meet all applicable local, state, provincial, national and other laws, rules and regulations within the jurisdiction that the event will be hosted or was hosted. It is the responsibility of each event organizer to ensure that promises made are fulfilled. It is also the obligation of event organizer to ensure that their event attendees’ data in their care are protected and respected and only used in line with redballer’s privacy policies or in offering quality service delivery to individuals. These data are partially made available to you so you can provide a one on one customer service so as to foster a great customer experience at all time.

6.1 Redballer has only two fee options on the service
Event organizers pay redballer services fees by default, in as much as we want the best for the organizers, we also want same for their event attendees, making tickets on this platform affordable is a win-win for everyone, we don’t want to make tickets on the site expensive for your event attendees by making them pay all fees associated with the event, that may discourage them, we will always charge a token so as to make payment of our fees easy and affordable for event organizers,
Event attendees pay payment processing fees associated with buying of tickets to their event, these fees are not charged by redballer, our payment processors makes it easy for the attendees to buy tickets from the comfort of their homes and offices, saves them money, time and stress that could be experienced at the point of offline sales.
6.2 WE CHARGE A TOKEN AND NOTHING MORE.
The redballer service fees posted on the event creation page is the only fee redballer charge event Organizers for services rendered on the site, which includes but not limited to tools made available for setting up the event, monetization, promotions and management. The fees only apply to paid events (ticket booking fees); we also charge additional fees for premium services offered through the professional plan, the total fees payable for premium services may vary from event to event and currency to currency. however redballer’s country or regional offices may provide additional services to event organizers within its region or country for example they may be recruited to provide customized services like attendee’s list/ticket management at the event’s venue, online event management, staff support before and during the event, etc. these services are offered by our country and regional offices to help event organizers make the best of their events and not by redballer as a platform. All agreement reached between our country or regional offices for additional services are reached between the country or regional office and the event organizer and not with redballer as a platform and as such fees payable for services rendered on the platform doesn’t cover cost of additional services provided by the country or regional offices.
6.3 WHO DECIDES COST OF TICKETS AND ANY OTHER FEES ASSOCIATED WITH EVENT?
Aside from redballer service fees and payment processing fees, event Organizers ultimately decides the cost of event ticket and any other fees associated with the event for example they solely decide if there is a car parking fee at the event, if any extra fees will be paid at the event or if certain purchases will be made, these fees may be passed on to Attendees, shared between attendees and organizer or paid in full by the Organizer, we do not control this fees, event organizers may also include certain charges while creating tickets, this may include but not limited to facility fees, royalties, taxes, accommodation fees, monthly or annual fees, transportation fees, processing fees and any other fees. These fees are solely charged by the event organizers and not by redballer and it is fully remitted to the organizer, the redballer service fees you see while creating event in your choice of plan or in the case of personalized services provided through the professional plan, a service charge invoiced by the support team is all we charge for the service provided, nothing more. Therefore, fees payable by Attendees for an event may not necessarily be the same as those charged by redballer to the applicable Organizer neither is it the standard fees described on the Service to the Organizers.

Redballer does not control (and thus cannot disclose) fees levied by your bank, credit/debit card company or payment processors on the service, including fees on transactions in foreign currencies or from foreign persons, cost of receiving payment to your bank, any and all cost associated with the sales or purchase of tickets. The event attendees’ pays payment processing fees associated with purchase of tickets but the event organizer will be responsible for cost of transfer of earnings or revenues generated from sells of ticket to the bank account of the event organizer. These fees are either charged by payment processor or your bank in certain jurisdictions, be sure to check with your bank, Credit/debit Card Company or payment processor’s fees or transfer fees prior to creating events or buying tickets to understand all applicable fees, credit/debit card surcharges and currency conversion rates.
