INVOICE PAYMENT COLLECTION AND FEES

We offer WePay, Inc. (“WePay”) as one of our third-party payment processors. In order for you to use WePay’s payment processing services, you must register with WePay as a merchant. WePay’s terms of service (the “WePay Terms”) explain that process, and are available here: https://go.wepay.com/terms-of-service-us. WePay’s Privacy Policy is available here: https://go.wepay.com/privacy-policy-us By accepting these Terms, you agree that you have reviewed the WePay Terms and Privacy Policy for the country in which you are located and agree to them. Please note that we are not a party to the WePay Terms or Privacy Policy and that we have no obligations or liability to you under the WePay Terms or Privacy Policy or for any services that WePay provides to you. If you have questions regarding WePay or the WePay Terms or Privacy Policy, please contact WePay at https://support.wepay.com/hc/en-us.

If Account Owners or Users choose to collect credit card payments from Attendees, GroupTools and our third-party processors will assess standard fees to each credit card transaction at the time of payment, which you agree to pay in full. These fees may include but are not limited to transaction fees, service fees, processing fees and royalties, and they will be assessed when an Attendee submits their registration and payment details. Such fees are posted elsewhere on this site, and we reserve the right to change these fees at any time. Account Owners and Users can elect to absorb these fees into the price of each registration/ticket (in which case the fees will be deducted from the listed price of each registration/ticket at the time of purchase) or to pass these fees onto Attendees (in which case the fees will be added to the listed price of each registration/ticket at the time of purchase and will be paid by the Attendee). GroupTools does not assess standard fees for free registrations/tickets.

The payout procedures – including payout waiting periods – for credit card payments that have been collected are set by our third-party payment processor and may be posted elsewhere on this site as a convenience. These payout procedures are subject to change without notice from the third-party processors, and as such we do not warrant that the payout information posted on this site is accurate, complete or free from errors. Payouts will be made minus any standard fees as described above. We and our third-party payment processors reserve the right to hold registration/ticket payments in reserve if we deem it necessary based on potential fraud, refund, chargeback or other types of risk and to release held funds at our discretion.

We may also allow Account Owners and Users to track manual check and cash payments from attendees as well as, to the extent available, provide a record of payments from attendees. We do not warrant that these records are accurate, complete, reliable, current or free of errors.

For all registration/ticket payments collected, Account Owners and Users are responsible for payment and reporting of any applicable taxes. We accept no responsibility or obligation to assess the applicability of taxes or to collect and report any such taxes.

With regard to refunds, it is the sole discretion of Account Owners and Users to make refunds available for registration/ticket payments made by your Attendees, with the exception that you must provide a full refund or similar make-good to Attendees if you are unable to provide the services you have advertised and/or promoted through GroupTools (such as in the case of a cancelled event). Account Owners and/or Users are required to and agree to post refund policies in the allotted area of the registration page (even if you opt for a “No Refund” policy), including but not limited to details on if and/or how attendees can request a refund, expected response time to refund requests, and refund timelines and deadlines.

To facilitate refund requests, GroupTools provide functionality for Attendees to view their registration/ticket details and, if refunds are being offered, request a refund. Once a refund is requested, it is the responsibility of the Account Owner and/or Users and the Attendee to resolve any disputes arising from the purchase and sale of registrations, tickets and merchandise, and GroupTools is under no obligation to serve as an intermediary or to resolve such disputes.

For information on chargebacks on registration/ticket payments, consult the WePay Terms of Service at: https://go.wepay.com/terms-of-service-us. If excessive refunds or chargebacks are made on registration/ticket payments, we reserve the right to investigate such instances, cease registration and ticketing for any event, terminate accounts and assist third-party payment providers to obtain appropriate reimbursement by any lawful means.

All Users are required to create a username and password in order to access the account. It is the responsibility for Account Owners and Users to maintain and update your contact information, including but not limited to email addresses, in order to keep it current, complete and accurate.
