Service

Hotel Varuna provides self-managed event organizing solutions to event organizers. Event organizers setup their event, fill up the details about their event such as event pricing, location, ticket inventory, attendee registration information collection and other such features. As used herein, "Customers" means Hotel Varuna event organizers ("Event Organizer "), registered event attendees ("Attendee ") and participants in our various affiliate programs.

Event Organizer Terms

Hotel Varuna offers organizers a web-based solution to organize events and meetings, to sell tickets or provide online Attendee Registration solutions via the Hotel Varuna-Websites for events of the organizer to customers by using Hotel Varuna to take on the payment process. In detail Hotel Varuna provides the following services to the organizer (each an "Hotel Varuna-Service"):

A web-based software on the Hotel Varuna-websites to organize events and to sell tickets of the organizer for these events to ticket buyers. The organizer has the possibility to create an own website for their event ("eventsite") and to offer a ticket sale. The ticket buyer can choose and buy the tickets on the eventsite directly.

Only the user and the organizer of an event are entering into an agreement regarding the event and the disposal of tickets for that event. Hotel Varuna only acts as a sales agent for the organizer of an event by order and for account of this organizer. It is the organizers' duty to advise and instruct the ticket buyers of their eventually existing right of objection according to the legal guidelines.

The organizer authorises Hotel Varuna hereby for the duration of this agreement to act as an agent by order and for account of the organizer, to sell tickets to the public for events, offered by the organizer on the Hotel Varuna-Websites, to undertake the payment process with the ticket buyers and/or their banks and to ship the tickets to the ticket buyers. This authorization also contains the right of Hotel Varuna to send payment reminders to the ticket buyers.

 

Shipment & Delivery

The organizer can choose, whether the tickets shall be deposited on the venue or shall be sent electronically or if the ticket buyer shall have the choice between these different shipment methods. As far as tickets shall be deposited on the venue the organizer has the right to choose, whether the tickets shall be paid on the venue and/or in advance via Hotel Varuna.

At the option of the organizer, Hotel Varuna can also offer offline ticketing i.e. Hotel Varuna will take all tickets from the Organiser, offer a set number of the tickets online as suggested by the organizer, or as deemed suitable by Hotel Varuna, and put the remaining tickets into its retail associate networks (such as any caf�©s, bistros etc. with which Hotel Varuna may tie up). The Event organizer shall decide upon whether it wants to avail of only online/electronic ticketing solutions provided by Hotel Varuna or whether it prefers Hotel Varuna to provide both paper version & electronic version ticketing services.

Payment and Fees

Hotel Varuna products & services are available on the basis of transaction model, as per the requirements of customers.

Hotel Varuna will be responsible only for the taxes applicable on Hotel Varuna Fees (including TS fee, PG fee and fixed ticket charge). Organizer will bear the full responsibility of the taxes applicable on ticket price and Hotel Varuna can not be held accountable for any inaccurate information provided by organizer for such taxes.

Transaction model

In this model, pricing is applied on each ticket sale/attendee registration.

The organizer has to determine the base price for his tickets. This base price belongs to the organizer as far as nothing different is stated in these terms. The organizer can choose whether the additional fees payable to Hotel Varuna (fees for accounting, shipment etc.) are charged on top of this base price or not.

Hotel Varuna charges a fee for every ticket sold via the Hotel Varuna-Websites (A convenience-fee) as stated in the price list published on the Hotel Varuna-Websites.

In addition to that Hotel Varuna charges a fee for accounting tickets according to clause 4 as well as for using the Hotel Varuna-Websites by the organizer (A ticketing-fee) as stated in the price list published on the Hotel Varuna-Websites. The rate of the fee depends by the payment method chosen by the organizer. The ticketing-fee is charged even if the tickets shall be deposited and paid on the venue.

In the event that tickets for an event have been sold via the Hotel Varuna-Websites, and the event is cancelled for any reason not directly attributable to Hotel Varuna, then Hotel Varuna shall continue to be entitled to the convenience fees and ticketing fees.

Change of an event

If an event for which tickets are sold or already have been sold via Hotel Varuna shall be cancelled or changed (regarding date, time, venue or other important points) the organizer has to inform Hotel Varuna immediately in writing once these circumstances have come to his attention.

Accounting

The organizer has options of various payment method(s) (credit card, direct debiting, prepayment, invoice) to be offered to possible ticket buyers. In accordance to this choice Hotel Varuna undertakes accounting for the organizer and holds the money on a separate bank account. The organizer authorises Hotel Varuna to do so. Hotel Varuna transfers the money received according to service pricing minus the fees payable to Hotel Varuna within 5 to 7 business days post the event to the organizer. The money has to be transferred to a bank account located in the country where the event took place and issued on the name of the organizer. For recurring events, Hotel Varuna reserves the right to pay out money before the event. Hotel Varuna reserves the right to change the number of days to transfer money to the event organizer at any time without notice. The organizer is aware of the risk that specific payment methods (direct debiting or credit card) can be reversed by the ticket buyers. The organizer bears this risk alone. If transactions are reversed after the payment to the organizer, these costs plus a fee for the reversed transaction as stated in the price list published on the Hotel Varuna-Websites are charged to the organizer.

The organizer is obliged to raise objections, if any, against the accounts of Hotel Varuna within four weeks after issue of the account. If not the account is considered as being approved.

Prevention against fraud / misusage

The Hotel Varuna-Websites offer an extensive security system, in particular to protect organizers against reimbursement of credit card payments. Because of this security system it is possible that in exceptional cases some credit card providers may not be accepted.

If the organizer arouses suspicion of misusage of the Hotel Varuna-Websites, Hotel Varuna has the right to deactivate the ticket shop of the organizer and to stop the ticket selling. In particular a suspicion of misusage of the Hotel Varuna-Websites is on hand, if it comes to attention before the event that the event shall not (or not in the way as stated in the ticket shop) take place; or illegal or immoral events shall take place; or

If the organizer arouses suspicion of misusage of the Hotel Varuna-Websites, Hotel Varuna has the right to delay the payout to the organizer even after 5 to 7 business days for further 60 days. Within these 60 days Hotel Varuna will check if an improper use of the Hotel Varuna-Websites and / or Hotel Varuna-Services occurred. Hotel Varuna also reserves the right to block any event from its platform, if the event is found to be misleading to Hotel Varuna users. (For example: if an event is listed as free and an organizer forces attendees to pay for the event separately, the listed event is deemed to be misleading to the event attendees.)
