THIS DOCUMENT GOVERNS YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH TICKETLINKZ
The following are the contractual provisions which govern your rights and obligations with regard to your purchase and use of event tickets ordered through TicketLinkz.

The following are the contractual provisions which govern your rights and obligations with regard to your purchase and use of event tickets ordered through TicketLinkz. By clicking the “I ACCEPT THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS” button, you signify your agreement to be bound by all of the provisions contained in this document (“User Agreement” or “Agreement”).
TICKETLINKZ IS ONLY AN AGENT FOR THE EVENT PROMOTER
TicketLinkz acts as an agent for the person or venue that is promoting or hosting the event for which you purchase tickets (“Event Provider” or “Promoter”). When you purchase a ticket for an event TicketLinkz will accept payment from you on behalf of the Event Provider. Any tickets you purchase will be sent to you from Barbados, regardless of where you are when you place your order over the Internet. You agree that all ticket sales will be deemed to take place in Barbados regardless of where you may be when you transmit your order through the World Wide Web.
TICKET PRICES AND OTHER CHARGES
Ticket Prices are set by the Promoter, not by TicketLinkz. TicketLinkz has no control over ticket prices. The Promoter tells TicketLinkz the price of each ticket. Each time a ticket is ordered through TicketLinkz, the pool of available tickets is immediately reduced and payment is held for distribution to the Promoter.
Prices of each ticket purchased through TicketLinkz will include the Promoter’s per ticket charge for each ticket you purchase plus a per ticket convenience charge for TicketLinkz plus a non-refundable per order processing fee. Additionally, mailing, courier or other shipping or delivery charges will also be added to the cost of each ticket order mailed or sent by a delivery service. All ticket prices for events that occur in Barbados are stated in U.S. Dollars.
Specific ticket prices, convenience charges, order processing fees, and shipping/delivery fees will be as stated on the TicketLinkz web site (the “Site”) and will be as shown in the “check out” screens displayed when you complete your ticket order.
AVAILABILITY OF TICKETS
TicketLinkz.com sells tickets on behalf of promoters, teams, bands and venues, which means TicketLinkz.com does not set the ticket prices or determine seating locations. Promoters generally sell tickets through several distribution points, including online, ticket hotlines, retail locations and box offices. Most distribution points generally access the same ticketing system database and inventory. Tickets for popular events often sell out very quickly. TicketLinkz does not control ticket inventory or availability.
LIMITATION ON NUMBER OF TICKETS When purchasing tickets through TicketLinkz you are limited to no more than a specified maximum number of tickets for each event as shown on the Site. The purpose of this ticket limit is to prevent someone from buying a large number of tickets to a popular event and then reselling them to the public at excessive prices or the establishment of other unfair ticket practices.
PAYMENT METHODS
TicketLinkz accepts several credit cards as methods of payment. TicketLinkz accepts American Express, Visa, MasterCard, and Discover.
ORDER CONFIRMATION
After completing your on-line order, TicketLinkz sends you an email with your ticket purchase confirmation number and other information relevant to your purchase and the event. If you do not receive such an email with a confirmation number within one day of placing your order or if you experience an error message or service interruption after submitting payment information that probably means your order was not properly completed. In that case it is your responsibility to confirm with the TicketLinkz Customer Service Department that your order has in fact been properly placed. You are the only one who will know that you did not get a confirmation email so only you will be aware of any problem with your order. TicketLinkz will not be responsible for losses (monetary or otherwise) if you assume that an order was placed when it was not or if you assume that an order was not placed when it was. So, if you fail to receive a prompt and accurate confirmation email, you must contact our customer service department immediately to resolve the problem.
DELIVERY OF TICKETS
Different combinations of delivery methods may be offered, depending on several factors which include but are not limited to the location of the venue for the event, your location, the amount of time between the date you place your order and the date of the event. Please carefully review the list of delivery methods offered during the purchase process and pick the one which you think will most likely meet your needs.
There are NO REFUNDS in the event of any late delivery of any tickets.
TICKETLINKZ ERRORS IN PRICING
If the amount TicketLinkz posts on its Site for a ticket is incorrect for any reason TicketLinkz will have the right to cancel that ticket (or the order for that ticket) and refund to you the full amount that you paid including all fees and charges. This will apply regardless of whether the error resulted from human error or a transactional malfunction on the Site or other TicketLinkz operated system.
ORDERING ERRORS
Because TicketLinkz’ authority is strictly limited by the rules of the Promoter, TicketLinkz cannot offer refunds for customer ordering errors. Once an order is placed those tickets are removed from inventory and are not available for purchase by others. Furthermore, TicketLinkz has no ability to audit the causes for customer ordering errors. Therefore, if you “meant” to order one (1) ticket but ordered eleven (11) tickets, no refunds will be made. Before an order is complete the number of tickets and charges are shown on your computer screen and you are asked to review the order and accept it. Most ordering errors should be caught by users during this review and acceptance process. Once you confirm and accept an order, there will be no refunds.
LOST OR DESTROYED TICKETS
TicketLinkz is only an agent for the Promoter and TicketLinkz is required to follow the Promoter’s rules and policies. These policies prohibit TicketLinkz from making any refunds or replacements whosoever for any lost, stolen, undelivered, mis-delivered, late delivered or destroyed tickets. Once a ticket has been deposited in the mail or with a courier service or sent to you electronically, there will be NO REFUNDS even if the ticket is lost in transit, stolen, arrives late, or is destroyed.
CHANGES IN EVENT PROGRAM
Events often have more than one performer or type of entertainment. Usually in these circumstances there will be a main or headliner performer and others, generally described as “opening acts”. If the headliner’s performance is cancelled, then refunds will be governed by the Promoter’s and TicketLinkz cancellation policies. Opening acts are subject to change or cancellation at any time without notice. If one or more opening acts change or fail to appear, there will be no exchanges, refunds or discounts. No refund will be owed if an opening act is changed or cancelled.
CANCELED EVENTS
Occasionally, events are cancelled or postponed by the Promoter. Should this occur, we will attempt to contact you to inform you of whatever refund or exchange procedures may apply to that event. Generally speaking, refund and exchange policies are not up to TicketLinkz but are controlled by the Promoter.
While TicketLinkz tries to obtain the Promoter’s advance agreement to authorize a full return of all ticket prices, convenience charges, order processing fees and delivery fees in the event that the event is cancelled, TicketLinkz cannot guarantee any refunds or exchanges absent the agreement of the Promoter for the event in question. If you purchase a ticket through TicketLinkz and a refund is authorized, then TicketLinkz will generally implement the refund by issuing a credit to the credit card that was used to pay for the tickets in question. Generally, you will only be able to receive the refund by physically returning the actual tickets to TicketLinkz. In order to receive a refund or an exchange that may be offered, you will have to comply with the Promoter’s rules and deadlines. When TicketLinkz issues you a refund for a ticket, it will issue a refund of the amount actually paid for the ticket, minus the processing fee, and the convenience charge. If a credit card was used to make the refunded purchase, then only that actual credit card will receive the credit for the refund.
TicketLinkz will NOT be liable for and will not pay or reimburse any travel, lodging, meals, or any other expenses that you or anyone else may have incurred in connection with a cancelled or postponed event. If an event is cancelled, please contact us for information on receiving a refund. If the event was moved or rescheduled, the venue or promoter may set refund limitations. Contact us for exact instructions. Please make sure to include/provide your account number or confirmation number so we can expedite your refund if one has been authorized by the Promoter.

EVENTS ARE CONTROLLED BY THE EVENT PROMOTER
TicketLinkz acts only as a ticket selling agent of the event Promoter. All aspects of the event itself are controlled strictly by the Promoter, venue or other third parties.

- PROMOTER’S RULES AND REGULATIONS
Promoters and venues often prepare their own rules and regulations concerning the conduct of events.

By purchasing a ticket through TicketLinkz you acknowledge and agree that your purchase of the ticket and use of the ticket will be subject to those rules and regulations.

Should you violate the Promoter’s rules prohibiting recording of an event you may be ejected and you may be subject to such other actions as the Promoter or the venue may deem appropriate. Often the events themselves, including portions of the audience are recorded. By purchasing a ticket through TicketLinkz you hereby grant permission to the Promoter and/or venue to utilize your image, likeness, actions or statements in any live or recorded audio, video or other photographic display or other transmission, exhibition, publication or reproduction made of or at the event, regardless of whether or not the recording took place before, during or after the performance.

Promoters and venues reserve the right, without any refund to you, to refuse admission to you or eject you if the Promoter or venue management considers your conduct to be obnoxious, vulgar, disorderly, abusive or disturbing or if the Promoter or venue management believe you have failed to comply with the Promoter’s or venue’s rules. Breach of the terms of the Promoter’s or venue’s rules and regulations will terminate your right to attend the event and will subject you to ejection from the event without a refund.

Further, the Promoter will have the right to cancel your ticket without cause and in such case the Promoter’s only obligation will be to refund to you the ticket’s face amount. You have no right to redeem or cancel a ticket for cash.
