Tickets for Charity, LLC (“TFC”, “we” or “us”) reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time, effective immediately upon posting on the Site. Please check this page of the Site periodically for modifications to these Terms. These Terms were last revised on March 7, 2008. If you violate any of these Terms, TFC may terminate your use of the Site, forbid you from any further use of the Site, cancel your order, and/or take appropriate legal action against you. Your continued use of the Site and the Services following our posting of any revised Terms will constitute your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree with the Terms or any revised version of the Terms, do not continue to use the Services or this Site.

You agree that you are only authorized to visit, view and to retain a copy of pages of this Site for your own personal use, and that you shall not copy, download, publish, modify or otherwise distribute any content found on this Site for any purpose other than to review event and promotional information, for personal use, or to make a purchase or charitable payment for your personal use, unless otherwise specifically authorized by us to do so. You also agree not to deep-link to the site for any purpose, unless specifically authorized by us to do so. The content and software on this Site is the property of TFC, its charitable and ticket partners and/or its corporate sponsors and is protected by United States, Canadian and international copyright laws.

You may only use this Site to make legitimate purchases or charitable payments and shall not use this Site for any other purposes, including without limitation, to make any speculative, false, deceptive, or fraudulent ticket or ticket package (collectively, “Ticket” or “Tickets”) purchases or charitable payments.

You may only be eligible to purchase Tickets through the Site if you have provided the order information requested and agreed to our Terms.
You are eligible to purchase Tickets through the Site only if you agree to direct certain payments to our partner charities, the amount of which is determined by TFC in its discretion and which is clearly identified on the Site prior to your purchase of any Tickets.
Unless otherwise stated, TFC acts as the agent to the event promoters who are promoting or otherwise providing the events for which you purchase Tickets. Your use of the Site means you will be separately (a) directing payments to designated charities and (b) purchasing a Ticket to an entertainment event.
Tickets purchased on this Site are subject to a per Ticket service charge and delivery charges which will be identified on the Site prior to your purchase of any Tickets and which are non-refundable.
Each Ticket that you purchase is a license to attend a particular event, and is subject to the additional terms set forth on that Ticket.
All Ticket prices for events that occur in the United States or in Canada are stated in U.S. Dollars.
Event dates, times, venues and subject matter, which are listed on the Ticket, may change. It is up to you to verify the most recent changes. Please contact the box office or refer to local listings for any changes. We are not responsible for notifying you of any such changes.
Venue maps may change. We reserve the right to change or upgrade the seats listed on your Tickets if necessary.
Upon confirmation of your decision to direct a payment to our partner charities and to purchase a Ticket, TFC charges your credit card separately for (a) the amounts designated for charity and (b) the purchase price of the Ticket, plus service charges, delivery charges and any taxes. The credit card charge concerning the amounts designated for charity are paid into a separately managed bank account and held for the benefit of the applicable charities. The credit card charge concerning the purchase price of the Ticket, plus service charges, delivery charges and any taxes, is paid into a separately managed bank account at a different financial institution.
By submitting your order to make payments to our partner charities and to purchase a Ticket, you grant TFC permission to charge your credit card for those transactions. Once you have submitted your order, your purchase is non-refundable and your order cannot be changed. Neither the amount designated for charity nor the purchase price of the Ticket and any taxes will be returned to you under any circumstances unless TFC cancels your order. Service charges and delivery charges are non-refundable under any circumstances.
We are not involved with the event for which you are purchasing Tickets. If you have a dispute with the event promoter or performers, you hereby release TFC and all affiliated companies, officers, directors, agents, parents, subsidiaries, legal representatives and employees (the “TFC Parties”) from, and the TFC Parties shall not be responsible for, claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with such dispute. You further acknowledge and agree that the TFC Parties shall not be liable for and you hereby release each from any loss or liability incurred by you or persons claiming by or through you with respect to attendance at an event for which Tickets were purchased on this Site.
You hereby release TFC from any responsibility for missed confirmations or orders due to information provided by you in error. It is your responsibility to ensure that all of the information you provide in connection with your order is accurate and that you continue to have access to and to read email related to any email address you provide.
TFC reserves the right to refuse or cancel any Ticket or Ticket order without liability for any reason, including without limitation in the event of becoming aware that a Ticket is listed or charged at an incorrect price or you are able to purchase more tickets than our purchasing guidelines allow, regardless of whether because of human error or a transactional malfunction of this website or other TFC operated or related system. If your credit card has already been charged for the purchase and your order is canceled or changed, TFC shall immediately issue a credit to your credit card account in the amount paid.
Per our agreements with Ticket sources, as a condition to your purchase of Tickets on the Site, you agree not to resell any Tickets purchased through Tickets-for-Charity.com.

The amount of donations designated to our partner charities are charged in a separate transaction on your credit card and shall be held in a separately managed bank account until a time designated by TFC, which will be a set period of time following a particular event, or in certain cases where TFC is acting as agent for a promoter, performer, team or league after completion of the tour or designated series of events. The amount of the donation is subject to change at any time and without notice until your order is finalized. Once you have submitted your order, your purchase is non-refundable and your order cannot be changed.

Your donations to our partner charities will be net of bank and credit card processing and related fees, software licensing fees and any ticket source fees associated with a particular event. Such amounts typically constitute no more than 15% of any particular payment designated for our partner charities, except in circumstances where Ticket source fees are included. Ticket source fees are determined on an event-by-event basis by/with our Ticket sources.

We ship all Tickets via either DHL or FedEx. A signature is required for all deliveries; we do not deliver to post office boxes. Occasionally, we also offer Will Call pick-up at the venue and pick-up instructions will be identified on the Site prior to your purchase of any Tickets. Our policy is to process and ship orders within 24-72 hours of us physically obtaining tickets from our ticket partner. If we have the Tickets physically in our possession at the time of your order, we will process and ship the order within 72 hours of receipt. In other cases, where we do not have the tickets physically in our possession at the time of your order, we will ship your order within 24 hours of receiving Tickets from the ticket partner. Once your order has been processed and shipped, you will receive your order tracking information via email confirmation. Please note that we may not receive Tickets from the ticket partner until 48 hours prior to an event. No refunds will be available for delayed delivery in compliance with this policy.

Event Cancellation Policy

Occasionally, events are cancelled or postponed by event management, the promoter, band, team or venue. You are solely responsible with respect to any changes in the date, time or place of any event for which you purchase Tickets. No refunds are available for any postponed event if your original Tickets will be honored for the new date of the rescheduled event. If an event is cancelled, the cancellation policy will be determined by the particular venue and can vary from event to event. Generally, event management will refund the face value of the Ticket after the cancellation is confirmed. Should this occur, we will provide any refund procedures for that event on this Site or via email, but TFC is not responsible for any refund of the Ticket price which may be owed to you by event management, the event promoter, band, team or venue. With respect to payments to your designated charities, TFC will generally give you the option of being refunded the payment or of allowing the charities designated to receive the directed funds. For exact instructions on any cancelled event, please check the event information online provided by event management, the event promoter, band, team or venue or contact us at cancellation@tickets-for-charity.com. Service fees and delivery charges will not be refunded.

TFC and our charity partners make no representation as to whether all or any portion of the donations to partner charities is tax deductible. Please consult with your tax advisor to determine whether a deduction of any portion of such amount is allowable. TFC shall have no liability for any claim by any federal or state tax authority with respect to your characterization of this transaction on your federal and state tax returns.
