STRIDE EVENTS provides an effective, yet simple means for Organizers and planners of events (“Organizers”) to collect event registration fees from registered users who wish to attend such events (“Buyers”). After visiting the Site to fill out information about their events including pricing, location, products, charities, etc., Organizers may set up collecting event registration fees online directly from Buyers. Payments are transacted through the STRIDE EVENTS payment processing gateway (the "Gateway"). For more information, please see https://www.StrideEvents.com. These Terms and Conditions apply to both Organizers and Buyers alike.
Depending on the payment processing option the Organizer elects when using the Service, monetary payments will be made to the Organizer by STRIDE EVENTS. There is one form of payment processing for Organizers which requires the use of the Gateway for event registration fee collection.
If an Organizer elects to use the Service to collect event registration fees, payment processing is directly handled by STRIDE EVENTS. Under the Service, (i) STRIDE EVENTS will collect all event registration fees on behalf of the Organizer from the Buyer and deduct all applicable service charges from the event registration fees passed along to the Organizer.; Customer credit card information never touches STRIDE EVENTS servers. STRIDE EVENTS utilizes PCI compliant iFrames to STRIDE EVENTS's credit credit card processor company's payment form. STRIDE EVENTS receives encrypted tokens for use to authorize payments, and STRIDE EVENTS never receives the credit card data.(ii) STRIDE EVENTS will distribute all payments to the Organizer (event registration fees minus applicable service charges) at the address, or direct deposit details that the Organizer accurately provides on the Site; and (iii) STRIDE EVENTS will submit payment for the balance due to the Organizer within fifteen (15) business days after the event end date for the event to which the registration fees correspond, provided that STRIDE EVENTS reserves the right to withhold funds at any time as STRIDE EVENTS determines to be necessary for the processing and settlement of all returns, disputed charges, customer complaints, allegations of fraud and other discrepancies. Payments will not be distributed until a minimum of $100 has been processed through the STRIDE EVENTS software, unless the payment is the final distribution for the year. All sales, fees, charges, and funds are payable in U.S. Dollars, or other foreign currencies accepted by STRIDE EVENTS. For all sales, fees, charges, and funds paid in foreign currency, STRIDE EVENTS will collect and disperse the funds in the foreign currency used.
(i) The Organizer has the responsibility to communicate its refund policy to Buyers and to issue refunds on the behalf of Buyers via the Service. Organizer shall ensure that its refund policy is consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the payment and refund mechanics of the Service. Refunds issued by Organizer will be processed within thirty (30) days after Organizer instructs the issuance of the refunds via the Service. No payments shall be made to an Organizer from STRIDE EVENTS with respect to any event that is cancelled. If a Buyer desires to request a refund, Buyer must request the refund from the Organizer (either before the event or shortly after the event, to permit the Organizer sufficient time to issue the refund). All communications or disputes regarding refunds are between the Organizer and Buyer and STRIDE EVENTS will not be responsible or liable for refunds or the lack thereof issued in the course of the use of the Full Service option.
(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, whether you are using the Service as an Organizer, Buyer or otherwise, you acknowledge and agree that STRIDE EVENTS shall have the right to force a refund of any or all funds at any time for any reason or no reason, including without limitation if STRIDE EVENTS receives complaints from a substantial number (as determined by STRIDE EVENTS in its sole discretion) of Buyers with respect to an Organizer or the applicable event, or STRIDE EVENTS determines in its sole discretion that Organizer has engaged in any fraudulent activity or made any misrepresentations.
STRIDE EVENTS will be the sole and direct channel of correspondence in all chargeback proceedings. Chargeback notifications from use of the Service (initiated by the Buyer with their credit card provider) are sent directly to STRIDE EVENTS via the constituent merchant banks. STRIDE EVENTS will utilize all available resources to contest or address each chargeback directly with the merchant bank in the time allotted for response. Chargeback cases where STRIDE EVENTS does not successfully secure a reversal or deems the chargeback to be warranted as stated, shall be charged back to the Organizer of such event. STRIDE EVENTS shall either (i) deduct these costs, and any associated fees from the merchant bank, from such Organizer’s outstanding balance, whether for that particular event or for any other event that such Organizer lists through the Service; or (ii) send an invoice to such Organizer for such costs if no balance exists. If payment for such invoice is not received by STRIDE EVENTS within thirty (30) days, STRIDE EVENTS reserves the right, at STRIDE EVENTS’s sole discretion, to terminate such Organizer’s registration for the Service and to cancel all other events listed by such Organizer as provided herein. In accordance with and without limiting Section 11, all communications and disputes regarding chargebacks are between the Organizer and Buyer and STRIDE EVENTS will not be responsible or liable in any way for chargebacks issued in the course of the use of the Full Service option.
