4.6 AVAILABLE FEE OPTIONS
Redballer has only two fees 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.
4.7 WE CHARGE A TOKEN AND NOTHING MORE.
The redballer service fee 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, 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.
4.8 PAYMENT PROCESSORS AND BANK FEES.
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 you may be responsible for cost of transfer of your earnings to your bank account 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 on transfer fees prior to creating events to understand all applicable fees, credit/debit card surcharges and currency conversion rates. We only charge fees for services rendered on redballer, nothing more.
4.9 YOUR ESCROW ACCOUNT
Your escrow account will automatically be activated for your paid events immediately after setting up tickets for your event. An escrow account is one of the ways we ensure safety and security for sellers and buyers on Redballer. Here is how it works.
Redballer escrow account verifies, ensures and confirms that payment was indeed received on every transaction carried out on your event page before orders can be made, since we are not responsible for processing payment this is one of the ways we protect fraudulent transactions on your event page. We verify payment 100% and secure your fund before your ticket will be marked sold.
Just as we will do everything possible to protect the Event Organizer from any fraudulent purchase so we will also do everything possible to protect your event attendees on Redballer, every time they make payment for an event, 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 complain of fraud, event did not hold or was cancelled or any other issue that can put our brand reputation in jeopardy (please bear in mind that you will have to request for the fund via your dashboard) but 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.
The 3 days grace period does not replace the time frame set by the Event Organizer regarding refund policies should the need arises.
There may be a threshold that must be reached before payment will be released by the payment processor for instance you may need to earn a minimum of $100 or N100 (depending on your choice of currency) before you can be paid, this threshold is designed by payment processors and not redballer to ensure that the money in your account is enough to pay fees associated with transfer of your fund either by your bank or payment processors used in receiving your earnings, redballer doesn’t set thresholds on your earnings and we are not responsible for fees associated with fund transfers please see payment processor’s site for more information on thresholds.
By using this service, you agree to these terms.
4.10 ADVANCE PAYMENT.
Event Organizers agrees that the escrow account will only be released 3 days after service delivery regarding the applicable event however Redballer in its discretion may decide to release an advance payment from earnings prior to the period set forth in section 4.9(b) to certain Event Organizers, on such terms and conditions as set forth in this Trade Agreement or on a separate written Addendum Agreement reached between the Event Organizer and Redballer prior to the release of the advance payment. Event Organizer agrees that payments made by Redballer from earnings received from applicable event prior to the three (3) day grace after delivery of service are advance payment of amounts due to the Event Organizer under this Trade Agreement and as a result only balance payment of the total sum due from earnings received from applicable event will be released after the mandatory 3 days after service delivery grace as defined in section 4.9(b). If Redballer agrees to advance a portion of Event Organizer earnings to the Event Organizer prior to full maturity of release, Event Organizer agrees that for some reasons best known to Redballer, redballer may at any time
(ii) Alter the terms, the frequency or maximum aggregate cap of the advance payments payable to the Event Organizer.
In addition, Event Organizer agrees that Redballer may demand back such advances (or any portion thereof) from time to time at its discretion based upon the level of refunds, disputed charges, chargebacks, customer complaints, allegations of fraud, changes or credits in Event Organizer’s escrow account or the underlying event(s)’s risk profile, or breaches of our Terms of Service, terms of use, privacy policy including this Trade Agreement. Upon receipt of notice of any such demand, Event Organizer shall thereupon promptly pay back to Redballer the portion of any such advance demanded. Event Organizer fully agrees that Redballer has right to withhold funds as set forth in Section 4.9(b) of this Trade Agreement. Event Organizer also accepts its obligations under Section 4.4 and 4.5 of this Trade Agreement, including its obligations to reimburse Redballer for refunds and credit card chargebacks.
4.11 WITHHOLDING/REFUND OF PAYMENT.
Redballer will not issue an advance payment or release escrow payment to an Event Organizer for an event that was cancelled or that we believe may not hold either due to complaints received from different users regarding the event, a huge number of negative reviews from different users concerning past experience of previous events hosted by the same event creator, security reasons or for some other reasons as determined by Redballer in its discretion. If advance payment has been made before the event was cancelled or before we received complaints or escrow has been released, the Event Organizer agrees to immediately make a refund to Redballer and agrees to cover applicable processing fees and all fees associated with the refund.
4.12 RESERVES.
If at any point in time Redballer at its discretion decides to flag your event as a risky venture due to certain activities or inactivity carried out either by you or through your event page either by your administrators or event leaders/team, you agree that we reserve the right to retain a certain percentage of your earnings (the percentage to be retained will be determined at Redballer’s discretion) so as to fund a reserve in your escrow account this reserve may be used to settle refunds, customer complaints, charge backs, settle dispute charges, suspicious or fraudulent activities carried out on or through your event page, to secure and ensure that promises made to your event attendees prior to buying tickets to your events are fulfilled, protect your obligations under terms of use, terms of service and every other agreement reached before creating applicable event and any other activity that may reflect negatively on Redballer’s brand or its partners, Redballer will continue to retain the percentage following applicable event and will only release the reserve after we have been convinced beyond any doubt imaginable that the event is safe and risk free.
4.13 CHARGEBACKS AND REVERSALS.
All credit card chargebacks or other transaction reversals initiated against Redballer or its affiliates for any reason whatsoever (except to the extent they were caused solely by Redballer’s negligence or willful misconduct) with respect to an Organizer’s event or transactions carried out on or through its page or account and all related credit card association, payment processing, re-presentment, penalty and other fees and expenses incurred by Redballer or its affiliates in connection with such chargebacks shall wholly be the responsibility of the Event Organizer, by using the site you agree to promptly and fully pay for such amounts on demand.

However, Redballer shall have no obligation to re-present any chargeback that it believes in its discretion may reflect negatively on its brand or affiliates or that in any way relates to a transaction that should be refunded in accordance with the Event Organizer’s refund policy or in line with redballer policy guide, you agree that Redballer’s loss of any chargeback re-presentation shall not in any way limit the Event Organizer’s obligation to pay such chargebacks.
4.14 CURRENCIES AND COUNTRIES.
Redballer presently provide full services to Event Organizers in limited countries and local currencies but that will only be for a while as we are working hard round the clock in expanding and reaching more countries and adding more currencies on the service. All event ticket fees and all transactions carried out on Redballer and held in trust by each Event Organizer’s escrow account will be released in the same currency that it was collected (except in cases where we may not be able to pay in the same currency as at the time requested due to bank/payment processor’s issues, in that case the currency will be released in the currency made available by the payment processor used in collection), for example if you sell in US dollars you will get paid in US dollars we do not provide currency conversion service, as a result you are advised to create paid event’s tickets in your local currency only or in the currency of your event’s host country. For the purpose of Ad placement and promotions Some of Redballer’s fees are in US dollars especially in countries where we presently do not offer services in their local currencies while others have the option of paying in their local currency.
