        8.  Donations Made By You
        In situations where You make a charitable donation (“Donation(s)”) based on a solicitation to You by an Event organizer using our Site, the following terms and conditions shall apply:

        1. The Services we provide through our Site are merely a platform through which an Event organizer can create and market an Event and, if they choose, to solicit and collect Donations.  We are not a broker, financial institution or 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation (“Charity”)
        2. Your Donation is sent directly from our third-party payment processor to the Event organizer, who is then responsible for disbursing your Donation to the appropriate Charity.  As such, we cannot guarantee that the Charity for which you made a Donation will actually receive Your Donation, in whole or in part.  We recommend that You contact the Event organizer directly to confirm that Your Donation was properly disbursed to the designated Charity.
        3. We do not endorse any Event organizer or Charity, and make no guarantee, express or implied, that any information provided by the Event organizer through the Services about the Charity, or intended use of Your Donation, is accurate.  We are not responsible for vetting the Charity chosen by the Event Organizer, and cannot guarantee that the Charity is in good standing with applicable federal and state agencies and/or has tax-exempt status.
        4. To the extent You require any of the following, You must contact the Event organizer directly, as Events.com is unable to assist You with these requests:
           1. having some or all of Your Donation refunded;
           2. information concerning whether Your Donation is tax deductible;
           3. if Your Donation is tax deductible, issuance of a tax-exempt receipt;
           4. instructions that Your Donation be directed to a specific purpose within the Charity;
           5. confirmation that Your Donation was disbursed to the Charity; or
           6. instructions that Your personal information provided to the Event organizer is not given to the Charity. (Note:  Events.com will not share any such information with the Charity).
        5. We have no control over the conduct of, or any information provided by, an Event organizer with respect to the solicitation and collection of Donations, the Charity or related parties, and hereby disclaim any and all liability in this regard to the fullest extent permitted under applicable federal and state law.
        6. You must make the final determination on whether to make a Donation solicited by an Event organizer, as well as the value of Your Donation.  All Donations are at Your own risk, and before making any decisions concerning whether to make a Donation, You are advised to consult with Your financial, legal, tax, or other professional advisor.  We are not responsible for any offers, promises, rewards or promotions made or offered by any Event organizer or Charity, nor do we represent or guarantee that the Donations will be used in accordance with any fundraising purpose prescribed by an Event organizer or Charity or in accordance with applicable laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we take possible fraudulent activity and the misuse of funds raised using our Services very seriously.  If You have reason to believe that an Event organizer or Charity is not using Your Donation for its stated purpose, or that Your Donation was never disbursed to the Charity by the Event organizer, please contact us at Hello@events.com to alert our team about this potential issue and we will investigate.

       (b) You have 15 calendar days after the mailing of the Claim Notice (the “Notice Period”) to notify Events.com (i) whether You dispute its liability to Events.com with respect to the Claim; and (ii) whether You desire, at your sole cost and expense, to defend Events.com against the Claim. During the Notice Period, Events.com may file any motion, answer, or other pleading that it deems necessary or appropriate to protect its interests or Your interests and that is not prejudicial to You.
       (c) If You notify Events.com within the Notice Period that You desire to defend Events.com against the Claim, You have the right to defend the Claim by all appropriate proceedings. Events.com may retain separate counsel to monitor or participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement. Events.com must cooperate with You and its counsel in defending against the Claim. No Claim may be settled without Your consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
       (d) If You fail to defend or indemnify Events.com after Events.com gives the Claim Notice, Events.com may, but is not under any obligation to, in addition to all other rights that Events.com may have, undertake the defense of, or to compromise or settle, the Claim for the account of and at the risk of You.
       (e) You shall reimburse Events.com for its reasonable attorney fees, accounting fees, expert witness fees, costs, and expenses (including Events.com’s fees, costs, and expenses incurred by monitoring, participating in, or cooperating with any action, compromise, or settlement) within 30 calendar days after Your receipt of a statement of such fees, costs, and expenses. If the Claim cannot be defended solely by Events.com, You shall provide, at no cost or expense to Events.com, all information and assistance that Events.com may reasonably request.
27. Arbitration Agreement; No Class Action
    1. Generally. In the interest of resolving disputes between you and Events.com in the most expedient and cost effective manner, you and Events.com agree that any and all disputes arising in connection with these Terms shall be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. Our agreement to arbitrate disputes includes, but is not limited to all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of these Terms, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether the claims arise during or after the termination of these Terms. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND EVENTS.COM ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
    2. Exceptions. Notwithstanding subsection 27.1, we both agree that nothing herein will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit either of our right to (i) bring an individual action in small claims court, (ii) pursue enforcement actions through applicable federal, state, or local agencies where such actions are available, (iii) seek injunctive relief in a court of law, or (iv) to file suit in a court of law to address intellectual property infringement claims.
    3. Arbitrator. Any arbitration between you and Events.com will be governed by the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by these Terms, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by contacting Events.com.
    4. Notice; Process. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other, by certified mail or Federal Express (signature required), or in the event that we do not have a physical address on file for you, by electronic mail (“Notice”). Events.com’s address for Notice is: Events.com, Inc., 10955 Vista Sorrento Parkway Suite 100, San Diego, CA 92130. The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). We agree to use good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if we do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or Events.com may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or Events.com shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. In the event our dispute is finally resolved through arbitration in your favor, Events.com shall pay you (i) the amount awarded by the arbitrator, if any, or (ii) $100.00, whichever is greater. If the amount awarded by the arbitrator is less than the last written settlement amount offered by Events.com in settlement of the dispute prior to the arbitrator’s award then you agree that you shall not recover reasonable attorney’s fees, if such are recoverable.
    5. Fees. In the event that you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms, Events.com will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for greater than $10,000, in which case the payment of any fees shall be decided by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearings will take place at a location to be agreed upon in San Diego County, California, provided that if the claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted (i) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (ii) through a non-appearance based telephonic hearing; or (iii) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county (or parish) of your billing address. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In such case, you agree to reimburse Events.com for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.
    6. No Class Actions. YOU AND EVENTS.COM AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Events.com agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
    7. Modifications. In the event that Events.com makes any future change to this arbitration provision (other than a change to Events.com’s address for Notice), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to Events.com’s address for Notice, in which case your account with Events.com shall be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the amendments you reject shall survive.
    8. Enforceability. If Subsection 27.6 is found to be unenforceable or if the entirety of this Section 27 is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section 27 shall be null and void and, in such case, the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 29 shall govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms.

    1. You agree to indemnify, defend and hold Events.com and its affiliates, licensors, suppliers, advertisers and sponsors, and their respective directors, officers, employees, consultants, agents and other representatives, harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) and other expenses that arise directly or indirectly out of or from (a) your breach of these Terms of Use, including any violation of the Code of Conduct, above; (b) any allegation that any User Content or other materials you submit to us or transmit to the Site infringe or otherwise violate the copyright, trademark, trade secret or other intellectual property or other rights of any third party; (c) your activities in connection with the Site; and/or (d) termination of your access to the Site.
    2. Method of Asserting Claims. All Claims for indemnification by Events.com will be resolved as follows:
       (a) If any Claim is asserted against or sought to be collected from Events.com by a third party, Events.com shall promptly notify You of the Claim in writing, in reasonable detail (the “Claim Notice”). Your obligation to indemnify Events.com is not conditioned on Events.com’s giving the Claim Notice unless the failure to give the Claim Notice prejudiced You in its defense of the Claim.
       (b) You have 15 calendar days after the mailing of the Claim Notice (the “Notice Period”) to notify Events.com (i) whether You dispute its liability to Events.com with respect to the Claim; and (ii) whether You desire, at your sole cost and expense, to defend Events.com against the Claim. During the Notice Period, Events.com may file any motion, answer, or other pleading that it deems necessary or appropriate to protect its interests or Your interests and that is not prejudicial to You.
       (c) If You notify Events.com within the Notice Period that You desire to defend Events.com against the Claim, You have the right to defend the Claim by all appropriate proceedings. Events.com may retain separate counsel to monitor or participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement. Events.com must cooperate with You and its counsel in defending against the Claim. No Claim may be settled without Your consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
       (d) If You fail to defend or indemnify Events.com after Events.com gives the Claim Notice, Events.com may, but is not under any obligation to, in addition to all other rights that Events.com may have, undertake the defense of, or to compromise or settle, the Claim for the account of and at the risk of You.
       (e) You shall reimburse Events.com for its reasonable attorney fees, accounting fees, expert witness fees, costs, and expenses (including Events.com’s fees, costs, and expenses incurred by monitoring, participating in, or cooperating with any action, compromise, or settlement) within 30 calendar days after Your receipt of a statement of such fees, costs, and expenses. If the Claim cannot be defended solely by Events.com, You shall provide, at no cost or expense to Events.com, all information and assistance that Events.com may reasonably request.
20. Arbitration Agreement; No Class Action
    1. Generally. In the interest of resolving disputes between you and Events.com in the most expedient and cost effective manner, you and Events.com agree that any and all disputes arising in connection with these Terms shall be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. Our agreement to arbitrate disputes includes, but is not limited to all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of these Terms, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether the claims arise during or after the termination of these Terms. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND EVENTS.COM ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
    2. Exceptions. Notwithstanding subsection 20.1, we both agree that nothing herein will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit either of our right to (i) bring an individual action in small claims court, (ii) pursue enforcement actions through applicable federal, state, or local agencies where such actions are available, (iii) seek injunctive relief in a court of law, or (iv) to file suit in a court of law to address intellectual property infringement claims.
    3. Arbitrator. Any arbitration between you and Events.com will be governed by the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by these Terms, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by contacting Events.com.
    4. Notice; Process. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other, by certified mail or Federal Express (signature required), or in the event that we do not have a physical address on file for you, by electronic mail (“Notice”). Events.com’s address for Notice is: Events.com, Inc., 10955 Vista Sorrento Parkway Suite 100, San Diego, CA 92130. The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). We agree to use good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if we do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or Events.com may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or Events.com shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. In the event our dispute is finally resolved through arbitration in your favor, Events.com shall pay you (i) the amount awarded by the arbitrator, if any, or (ii) $100.00, whichever is greater. If the amount awarded by the arbitrator is less than the last written settlement amount offered by Events.com in settlement of the dispute prior to the arbitrator’s award then you agree that you shall not recover reasonable attorney’s fees, if such are recoverable.
    5. Fees. In the event that you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms, Events.com will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for greater than $10,000, in which case the payment of any fees shall be decided by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearings will take place at a location to be agreed upon in San Diego County, California, provided that if the claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted (i) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (ii) through a non-appearance based telephonic hearing; or (iii) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county (or parish) of your billing address. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In such case, you agree to reimburse Events.com for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.
    6. No Class Actions. YOU AND EVENTS.COM AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Events.com agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
    7. Modifications. In the event that Events.com makes any future change to this arbitration provision (other than a change to Events.com’s address for Notice), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to Events.com’s address for Notice, in which case your account with Events.com shall be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the amendments you reject shall survive.
    8. Enforceability. If Subsection 20.6 is found to be unenforceable or if the entirety of this Section 20 is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section 20 shall be null and void and, in such case, the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 22 shall govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms.
