5.1. ArkEvent’s Services and Responsibilities
ArkEvent provides the following services:
5.2 Ticket Sales, Pricing and Availability
Tickets sold through ArkEvent's normal pay method, are tickets sold for events advertised by promoters, where transactions are processed through the promoters Stripe account. The Promoter, in its sole discretion, determines factors such as ticket pricing, availability; availability of individual refunds where an event has not been canceled, and seating locations. Tickets may be sold exclusively through ArkEvent or in combination with other inventories from companies not associated with ArkEvent. ArkEvent exerts no control or authority over the Promoter, ticket prices, availability, individual refunds, or any other companies which may be selling tickets to the events listed on the ArkEvent website.
5.3 Payment and Service Charges
Any tickets purchased the ArkEvent website or applications are subject to a handling fee, as shown prior to your ticket purchase. This default handling fee is set at 3.4% plus £0.30 per order. This rate is variable per Promoter so could be higher or lower. In addition there might be a credit card handling fee, which Stripe charges for processing the payment. Please visit Stripes website to view the current rate for these changes. The rate is different for different card types.
5.4 Order Processing
Your order will be processed after Your billing information has been verified. You will receive confirmation that Your order was processed successfully via email shortly after the transaction is completed. If You do not receive an email confirmation of Your purchase after submitting payment information, or if you experience an error message or service interruption after submitting payment information, it is Your responsibility to confirm with ArkEvent whether or not Your order has been placed by contacting Our customer support at the address provided below or emailing us at support@arkevent.co.uk. Please represent and warrant that any credit or debit card or other billing information that You provide to ArkEvent is valid and accurate in all respects. You hereby authorise ArkEvent to charge or debit your payment card or other account for the face value of any tickets You purchase, as well as any fees or other charges (such as taxes) that may be due in connection with any transactions you request through ArkEvent.
5.5 Ticket Delivery
ArkEvent tickets can represent goods, tokens, services or traditional tickets. Tickets will always be distributed in electronic format to the email you enter in connection with the purchase. ArkEvent will send a receipt to your email immediately after your purchase. If you cannot find the ticket and/or receipt in your inbox, we recommend that you look in your spam folder. If you have not received your tickets one hour after your purchase you can contact us at support@arkevent.co.uk. You can also simply download your tickets though our website. Please note that you must print your tickets and bring them to the event, unless the organiser has stated otherwise. For larger events the organizer can choose to use ArkEvent’s scanners, which enable mobile tickets as well.
If you do not inform us of the non-receipt of tickets within a reasonable time (in any event at least 3 working days before the event) we will have no liability to you. The Delivery of tickets is subject to the delivery company terms if tickets are not sent electronically.
5.6 Refund
When You pay for Your ticket through ArkEvent any refund of Fees is the sole responsibility of the Promoter. Before purchasing Your tickets, it is Your responsibility to carefully review all aspects of the event, including event restriction, dates, pricing and charges. We will not issue any refunds for any lost, stolen, destroyed, or damaged tickets, or as under any other circumstances except in the limited cases explicitly described in this Agreement. As previously stated, even if a refund is issued by Promoter, ArkEvent’s Fees will be deducted from the refund amount. The User may apply for a refund prior to the event in question provided that tickets for the event remain on sale. Acceptance of refunds is determined by the event's refund policy and it is the customer's responsibility to check this policy with the promoter prior to purchasing the ticket. Should an event be cancelled the Promoter of the event will inform the User prior to such cancellation and will refund to the User the ticket price minus the transaction fee.
