organizer agreement.
the extra promises we make to each other — between you as the organizer and tired events, inc. as the platform.
effective: may 1, 2025
1. what this adds to the terms
this sits on top of our terms of service. in any conflict, this agreement governs — but only for the parts specific to listing events and being paid.
2. you are the merchant of record
when a buyer buys a ticket to your event, you are the merchant. we process the transaction as your facilitator via stripe connect. the buyer's card statement reads "TIRED · [your event name]". you are liable for delivering the experience described on the event page.
3. our fees, restated
zero percent of the ticket goes to us. the buyer-facing fee is 6% + $0.50, capped at $12. if you're on room it drops to 4% + $0.50. if you're on venue we negotiate. instant payouts are 1%; next-day are free. we commit not to raise these for existing customers without 60 days' notice and without honoring any unexpired annual subscription.
4. payouts
we pay you the full ticket face value, minus refunds, minus optional instant-payout fee, minus tax remittance where we're doing that for you, minus any pass-through chargeback costs. by default: next business day. you choose the schedule.
payouts go to a stripe-connected bank account that you control. we never hold your funds longer than one business day without telling you why (fraud review, kyc refresh, or a formal legal hold).
5. what you warrant
- you have the right to sell tickets to the event
- the event is legal at the location and time listed
- you have any licenses required (ascap, bmi, liquor, etc.)
- if a venue, you own or have permission from the venue owner
- the content on your page is truthful and does not infringe
6. cancellation obligation
if you cancel the event, you trigger full automatic refunds within 24 hours. you cannot withhold buyer funds to "reschedule" indefinitely. if you disappear, after 48h of no response we mark the event platform-cancelled and refund every buyer. in that case, we bill your stripe account for the refunded face-value amount — if that fails, it becomes a debt owed to us.
7. tax
where we're registered to collect and remit sales tax, we do so automatically and list it on the buyer's receipt. where we're not, we calculate and surface the ticket-inclusive amount, but it's your responsibility to remit. our current u.s. coverage: help → sales tax.
8. your data, your list
you own your attendee data. we don't market to your buyers. we don't recommend your buyers to other events on our discovery page unless the buyer has affirmatively followed you. you can export the list any time. if you leave, we do not keep marketing rights to your list — it's yours.
9. platform rights
we can remove listings that violate our acceptable use policy. we'll message you first except for obvious fraud. we can withhold funds pending investigation if we get a credible fraud report; investigation is capped at 30 days unless extended by law enforcement.
10. indemnification
you indemnify us from third-party claims arising from your event, your content, or your conduct on the platform. we indemnify you from third-party claims arising from the platform itself (e.g., a buyer sues us because checkout failed). this is reciprocal and the standard thing.
11. leaving
close your account from settings. we'll honor outstanding tickets (you'll still get payouts). the attendee list export works until the account is fully deleted. if you want your tired-hosted event pages taken down immediately, one click.
12. changes
we email you 30 days before any material change. changelog: /legal/changelog.
