Vendorspace’s Services provide a two-way marketplace platform that connects event hosts (“Event Host”) with Vendors that provide various products and/or services in connection with the hosting of an event. Vendorspace’s platform acts as a listing site that assists Vendors for purposes of advertising, marketing and/or selling their products and/or services (“Offerings”) to Event Hosts. Vendorspace helps facilitate purchases between Event Hosts and Vendors but does not actually transfer legal ownership of items. Vendorspace has no control over any Event Host’s activity on the Services (including the ability of Event Hosts to pay for items). Further, Vendorspace does not provide any Vendor Offerings, nor is it an agent or representative of any Vendor or any Event Host. We make no representations regarding the quality, accuracy or safety of the Offerings being provided by any Vendor or the activities, interactions and/or transactions between Vendors and Event Hosts.
You acknowledge that Vendorspace’s Services provide a neutral marketplace platform, that Vendorspace is not a broker, and that you are solely responsible for your interactions with Event Hosts and/or other Vendorspace users. Vendorspace shall have no liability for your interactions with other users, or for any user’s action or inaction.
Vendorspace may, at any time, for any reason, make changes to the Services and/or modify these Terms in its sole and absolute discretion. If we make changes and/or modifications that affect your use of and/or access to the Services, we will post notice of the change and/or modification on this Terms page and change the ‘Updated’ date set forth above. You agree that your continued use of the Services following changes and/or modifications will constitute your acceptance of such changes and/or modifications. We may also provide you with additional forms of notice as appropriate under the circumstances. If you do not agree to the changes, you shall not use the Services offered after the effective date of the changes and/or modifications. Please revisit these Terms regularly to ensure that you stay informed of any changes and/or modifications. Vendorspace also reserves the right to post, from time to time, additional rules of usage that apply to specific parts of the Services, which may be posted in the relevant portion of the Services. Your continued use of the Services constitutes your agreement to such additional rules.

You will use best efforts to protect and prevent any access to Confidential Information.
EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN, THE COMMERCIAL USE, REPRODUCTION, TRANSMISSION OR DISTRIBUTION OF ANY INFORMATION OR OTHER MATERIAL AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SERVICES WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF VENDORSPACE IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED.
Vendorspace shall not be subject to any obligations of confidentiality regarding any information and/or materials submitted through the Services except as otherwise specified in these Terms and/or the Privacy Notice and/or as set forth in any additional terms and conditions relating to specific products and/or services utilized by Vendorspace in conjunction with the Services, and/or as otherwise required by law. Vendorspace may take appropriate legal action, including without limitation, referral to law enforcement, for any illegal or unauthorized use of the Services. We have the right to cooperate fully with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing us to disclose the identity or other information of anyone posting any materials on or through the Services. YOU AGREE TO INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS VENDORSPACE AND ITS LICENSORS AND SERVICE PROVIDERS FROM ANY CLAIMS RESULTING FROM ANY ACTION TAKEN BY VENDORSPACE DURING, OR TAKEN AS A CONSEQUENCE OF, INVESTIGATIONS BY EITHER VENDORSPACE OR LAW ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITIES.
Purchases. If you accept an offer by an Event Host and/or receive the applicable fee for the Offering, you are obligated to complete the transaction with the Event Host unless there is an exceptional circumstance, such as: (a) the transaction is prohibited by law and/or these Terms, (b) you cannot authenticate the Event Host’s identity, or (c) the Event Host fails to meet the terms set forth in your Offering. If applicable, you are also responsible for determining the delivery method and rate of shipping and such amount shall be included in the total fees due by the Event Host. You are responsible for gathering any other information you need from the Event Host. Vendorspace may refuse to process, and/or may cancel a purchase, as reasonably deemed necessary, to comply with applicable law and/or to respond to a case of misrepresentation, fraud and/or known and/or potential violations of the law and/or these Terms.
Fees. Currently, the Services are free to participating Vendors. In the future, Vendorspace may offer different types of Service plans and packages that will be subject to a fee. Vendor understands and agrees that Vendorspace will impose a booking fee equal to a percentage of the price of the Offerings purchased by an Event Host through the Services (as set forth in Vendorspace’s then-current fee schedule), and such fee shall be paid by the Event Host, unless otherwise set forth in the fee schedule. Vendor appoints Vendorspace as its limited payment collection agent solely for the purpose of accepting the payment for Vendor’s Offerings from the Event Host. Vendorspace further understands and agrees that Vendorspace and/or its representatives have the right to audit Vendor’s books and records regarding its performance hereunder.
Disputes; Refunds. You agree to contact the Event Host that purchased your Offerings directly with all inquiries or issues regarding the purchase of your Offerings. Vendorspace has no obligation to handle or facilitate any disputes between Event Hosts and Vendors. It is the responsibility of the Vendor to issue any refunds due to Event Hosts.
Occasionally there may be information on the Services that contain typographical errors, inaccuracies, and/or omissions that may relate to services and/or products descriptions, promotions, offers, and availability. We reserve the right to: (i) revoke any stated offer; (ii) correct any errors, inaccuracies, and/or omissions; and/or (iii) make changes to content, offers, services and/or product descriptions, specifications, and/or other information without obligation to issue any notice of such changes.

Should you believe anything in the Services infringes on any copyright that you own or the copyright of others, you may notify the copyright agent (“Copyright Agent”) at Vendorspace, Attn: Copyright Agent, 4215 Jimmy Lee Smith Parkway, PMB 19-215, Hiram, Georgia 30141, or at support@vendorspace.co. We will respond to clear notices of copyright infringement when you provide the following information: (i) signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed; (ii) description of the copyrighted work that is claimed to be infringed upon; (iii) description of where the material that is claimed to be infringed upon is located in the Services; (iv) information reasonably sufficient to permit contact (i.e., an address, telephone number, and an e-mail address at which the complaining party may be contacted); (v) statement that the complaining party has a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and (vi) statement by the complaining party, made under penalty of perjury, that complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the intellectual property owner of the right that is allegedly infringed.
The Copyright Agent will not remove content from the Services in response to phone or email notifications regarding allegedly infringing content, since a valid ‘DMCA’ notice must be signed, under penalty of perjury, by the copyright owner or by a person authorized to act on his or her behalf. Please submit such notifications by mail only and as further described by this Section. The Copyright Agent should be contacted only if you believe that your work has been used or copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement and that such infringement is occurring in the Services. All other inquiries directed to the Copyright Agent will not be responded to.
Disputes. We want to address your concerns without filing a formal legal case. Before filing a claim against Vendorspace, you agree to try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting us at support@vendorspace.co and describing the nature and basis for the dispute as well as the relief sought. We will try to resolve the dispute by contacting you via email, but if we cannot resolve the dispute within sixty (60) days of submission, you and Vendorspace agree to resolve any claims related to these Terms including your use of the Services and the scope of this provision, regardless of whether such claims are based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, unfair competition, or some other legal theory, through individual final and binding arbitration, except as set forth under the ‘Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate’ section below, you opt out as described below, or if another mechanism is outlined in our Privacy Notice for privacy related disputes. In arbitration you are still entitled to a fair hearing, but your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator (and not a judge or jury). Arbitrator decisions are as enforceable as any court order, and are subject only to very limited review by a court. Each party is giving up the right to sue in court and to have a trial before a judge or jury.
Arbitration Procedures. Except in the event the claim meets the requirements set forth in the ‘Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate’ section below and/or if you opt out of arbitration as described below, all claims shall be settled by individual binding arbitration in accordance with the American Arbitration Association (AAA)’s Commercial Arbitration Rules and Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes in effect at the time the proceedings begin and as modified by these Terms. Those rules and information about how to start arbitration are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. The arbitrator is bound by these Terms. The arbitration will be conducted through the submission of documents, by phone, or in person in Paulding County, Georgia or at another mutually agreed location. All information relating to and/or disclosed by any party in connection with the arbitration of any disputes shall be treated by the parties, their representatives, and the arbitrator as proprietary business information and shall not be disclosed without prior written authorization of the disclosing party. The arbitrator’s award will be final and specifically enforceable under applicable law, and judgment may be entered upon it in any court with jurisdiction. The arbitration costs, including arbitrator compensation, will be shared between you and us according to the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules and Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes.
Individual Basis; Waiver of Right to Jury or Class Action. Any such controversy and/or claim shall be arbitrated on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action. By agreeing to these Terms, you are waiving the right to participate in a class action. Further, unless the parties mutually agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this waiver is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then the parties agree that any dispute will be resolved exclusively in a state or federal court located in Paulding County, Georgia, and that the parties both submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts. If a claim proceeds in court rather than through arbitration, the parties waive any right to a jury trial.
Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate. The agreement of the parties to arbitrate as described herein does not: (i) prevent either party from litigating any dispute in small claims court (either you and/or Vendorspace may assert claims, if they qualify, in small claims court in Paulding County, Georgia); (ii) apply to disputes arising out of or related to infringement or other misuse of our, our licensors’ or third-party provider’s intellectual property rights, and Vendorspace may bring a lawsuit to stop unauthorized use and/or abuse of the Services, or related to infringement (for example, Vendorspace’s trademark, trade secret, copyright and/or patent rights) without first engaging in arbitration and/or the informal dispute-resolution process described herein; or (iii) prevent either party from bringing a dispute to the attention of any federal, state, or local government agencies.
Opt-Out. You can opt-out and decline this agreement to arbitrate by contacting Vendorspace within thirty (30) days from the date that you first became subject to this arbitration provision (i.e., the date you initially accepted these Terms). You must write us at support@vendorspace.co and include your actual name and any username, address and a clear statement that you do wish to resolve disputes with us through arbitration.
Judicial Forum for Disputes. In the event that the agreement to arbitrate is found not to apply to you and/or your claim, you and Vendorspace agree that any judicial proceeding (other than small claims actions) will be brought in the federal or state courts of Paulding County, Georgia. Both you and Vendorspace consent to the foregoing venue and jurisdiction.
