PRIVACY

You and we shall each comply with our obligations under all applicable data protection laws.

In addition, where you are a Business & Nonprofit customer and where you are subject to the GDPR and/or UK GDPR, the RSVPify Data Processing Addendum (“DPA”) is incorporated into these Terms of Service by reference and shall apply in respect of our processing of any Customer Personal Data (as defined in the DPA).

FEES, PROMOTIONS, AND BILLING

Any and all fees collected by RSVPify are subject to change at any time at the sole discretion of RSVPify. Prior to implementing any changes to fee structure, RSVPify will make a reasonable effort to inform Users directly affected by the fee change.

From time to time, RSVPify may offer an incentive (“Promotion”) in the form of a monetary discount or other benefit to encourage Users to purchase an Upgraded Account for a certain duration (usually 12 months excluding any Promotion period). RSVPify reserves the right to create, cancel or otherwise alter an ongoing Promotion at any time. RSVPify may, at its sole discretion refuse to honor the terms of the Promotion to any individual or entity for any reason including but not limited to the suspicion of fraud. Already Upgraded Users are not entitled to receive the incentive(s) offered by a Promotion.

By providing payment information for your Upgraded Account subscription, you are agreeing to pay a non-refundable subscription fee, and any applicable taxes and service fees for your use of your Upgraded Account. The subscription fee will be charged to your credit card at the start of your subscription term, and automatically at the beginning of each subsequent renewal period unless you cancel your Upgraded Account subscription. The subscription fee charged to your credit card may vary from year-to-year due to changes in your subscription plan or applicable taxes, and you expressly authorize RSVPify to charge your credit card for this amount. All payments must be made in United States dollars. RSVPify reserves the right to seek payment for any fees owed, whether resulting from a chargeback or reversal from a User’s bank or credit card company, improper billing, fraudulent transaction, or any other case or scenario in which RSVPify is unable to collect fees due at the time of sale. Failure to remit fees owed can result in the suspension or termination of your account without notice.

While RSVPify will evaluate the request for a refund of any fees already paid on a case-by-case basis, RSVPify reserves the right to refuse any such refund for any reason. Please note that RSVPify will not provide refunds for subscription customers whose plan renews prior to the cancellation date. Please see our Refund Policy and Section CANCELLATION OF SUBSCRIPTION for further information.

COLLECTION OF PAYMENTS AND DONATIONS

RSVPify may provide integrations with third-party payment processing providers. By employing the Services including but not limited to ticketing, payment collection or donation systems, you agree to adhere to the terms and conditions of these third-party providers.

By collecting payments with RSVPify, you agree to hold RSVPify, its integration partners, payment processors and affiliates harmless from and against any lawsuit, claim, damage, liability, or expense.

It is your sole responsibility to abide by applicable tax, accounting and reporting laws in your country and region. RSVPify is not responsible or liable for failure to comply with local, state or federal laws applicable to you or your organization, and you should seek professional advice for your event, organization and or use case.

It is further your sole responsibility to provide adequate customer service and responsiveness to event customers (any user who has purchased a ticket or submitted a payment of any kind in relation to your event or RSVPify account). RSVPify is not liable or otherwise responsible for the management, resolution or granting of refunds, credit card disputes or credit card chargebacks associated with your event(s), account, action or inaction.

You acknowledge and agree that you will not attempt to circumnavigate, bypass or otherwise influence RSVPify fees associated with the collection of payments, gifts and donations. You may not include links to external registration or payment processors, or otherwise encourage event guests to submit registration information or payments external to RSVPify registration and payment systems.

AUTOMATIC RENEWAL OF UPGRADED ACCOUNT

Your Upgraded Account will renew automatically at the end of the current term. If you have provided a method of payment to us for the Services, we may charge you automatically at the end of the Promotion or for the renewal, unless you notify us that you want to cancel your subscription. The Upgraded Account subscription is effective from date of purchase and will automatically renew for a renewal term of the same duration unless you cancel prior to expiration of the subscription term or renewal term in progress. The renewal will be charged at the Upgraded Account price then in effect (not including any special offers that may be valid for new members or other specific groups), which may be higher than the price in effect during the previous term. You must cancel the Upgraded Account prior to its renewal date to avoid incurring further charges. Your credit card will be automatically charged unless you have notified RSVPify in accordance with Section CANCELLATION that you wish to cancel the Upgraded Account.

CANCELLATION OF SUBSCRIPTION

You may cancel your Upgraded Account during any free trial or complimentary offer without charge by logging into your Account and following these steps. If you cancel your Upgraded Account subscription, the cancellation will go into effect at the end of the trial or the then-current subscription term or renewal term. You will have continued access to your Upgraded Account subscription for the remainder of the applicable period, but you will not receive a refund, prorated or otherwise, of any subscription fees paid, unless otherwise stated in our Refund Policy. You must cancel your Upgraded Account subscription before it renews to avoid paying the subscription fee for the subscription term or renewal term, unless otherwise stated in our Refund Policy. RSVPify does not prorate any charged amounts upon termination or cancellation and does not refund any such amounts for any term already charged. You may immediately cancel your subscription to the Services by logging into your RSVPify account and completing and submitting a cancellation request. If you prefer to request a manual processing of your subscription cancelation request, you may complete this form.

To request cancelation of your subscription, you may also send a certified letter, return receipt requested, to RSVPify LLC, Attention: Cancellation, 4803 N Milwaukee Ave, Suite B #325, Chicago, IL 60630. To authorize cancelation, you must include the (1) email address associated with your account, (2) the last 4 digital of the credit card used for your subscription and (3) the billing address of the credit card. Cancelation requests without inclusion of these verification details will not be honored. Communications other than the foregoing, including notifying your credit card company or bank that you no longer wish to be a member, will not serve as valid means of cancellation.

All provisions of these Terms of Service which by their nature should survive cancellation of your account shall survive, including, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnity and limitations of liability.
