4. PAYMENT METHODS.

4.1 Overview.

There is a single payment processing method available to Organizers when using the Services: "Credit Card Processing" or "CCP", which requires the use of the Gateway for the collection of Event Registration Fees. Monetary payments will be made to the Organizer directly by Competition Corner (via CCP), in each case as described below.

4.2 Facilitated Payment Processing.

(a) Independent Relationship.

When using a FPM, Organizers and Buyers effect the applicable monetary payment transaction through the FPM service and are bound by the applicable terms of use governing the FPM service.

(b) Services Fees.

Organizers will collect all monies directly from Buyers under the FPP option. By registering for and using the FPP option, you agree to (i) pay Competition Corner all then-applicable Competition Corner Service Fees and Credit Card Processing Fees, which are based on the number of tickets sold by you and/or the value of such tickets, and which charges are described in greater detail at http://competitioncorner.zendesk.com, and all additional on-site service fees, equipment lease charges, printed ticket fees, and any other fees and charges of any kind payable by you to Competition Corner in connection with the provision of the Services (collectively, "Service Fees"), which payments shall be due and payable upon receipt of the invoice setting forth such charges; and (ii) accept the responsibility for providing refunds to Buyers at your own discretion. Competition Corner will not be responsible or liable for, and Organizer hereby agrees to fully indemnify Competition Corner and its affiliates for, refunds, errors in issuing refunds, or lack of refunds in connection with the use of the FPP option. Invoices are sent monthly for Service Fees incurred in the previous month.

4.3 Credit Card Processing.

(a) Gateway; Payment Process.

When an Organizer elects to use the Gateway for the collection of Event Registration Fees, payment processing occurs directly through Competition Corner. Under the CCP option, Competition Corner will collect all Event Registration Fees on behalf of the Organizer from Buyers and deduct all applicable Services Fees from the Event Registration Fees collected by Competition Corner, and then pass the remainder along to the Organizer within five (5) business days after the event end date for the event to which the Event Registration Fees correspond (either by mailing a check or through an electronic funds transfer, depending on the option the Organizer has chosen through using the Site, to the address or account, respectively, that the Organizer accurately designates on the Site), provided that Competition Corner reserves the right to withhold funds (i) at any time as Competition Corner determines to be necessary for the processing and settlement of all refunds, disputed charges, chargebacks, customer complaints, allegations of fraud, and other discrepancies and (ii) as otherwise permitted pursuant to this TOS. Competition Corner, in its sole discretion, may determine to advance a portion of Event Registration Fees to Organizer prior to the period set forth above, on such terms and conditions as Competition Corner may establish from time to time. Organizer agrees that all Event Registration Fees for a given event are earned by Organizer only following conclusion of the applicable event and all Event Registration Fees ultimately due will be net of all Service Fees, refunds, disputed charges, chargebacks and other deductions, whether due to customer complaints, allegations of fraud, discrepancies related to the applicable event or otherwise. No payments shall be made to an Organizer from Competition Corner with respect to any event that is cancelled. If payments have already been made by Competition Corner to an Organizer for a cancelled event, such Organizer will immediately refund to Competition Corner all such payments upon cancellation of such event. All sales, fees, charges, and funds are payable in U.S. Dollars, or other foreign currencies accepted by Competition Corner. If Organizer elects to list Event Registration Fees in a foreign currency accepted by Competition Corner, Competition Corner will collect and disperse the funds in the foreign currency selected by Organizer.

ORGANIZER AGREES THAT ANY PAYMENT BY Competition Corner OF EVENT REGISTRATION FEES PRIOR TO THE FIFTH (5TH) BUSINESS DAY AFTER THE END DATE OF THE APPLICABLE EVENT ARE MERELY ADVANCES OF AMOUNTS THAT MAY BECOME DUE TO ORGANIZER UNDER THIS TOS AND THAT Competition Corner MAY DEMAND SUCH ADVANCES BACK (FROM TIME TO TIME IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION), AND ORGANIZER SHALL THEREUPON PROMPTLY (AND IN ANY CASE WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS AFTER SUCH DEMAND) PAY BACK TO Competition Corner SUCH ADVANCE OR ANY PORTION THEREOF DEMANDED BY Competition Corner.

(b) Refunds.

(i) Under the CCP option, it is the responsibility of the Organizer to communicate its refund policy to Buyers and to issue refunds to Buyers via the Site. An Organizer shall ensure that its refund policy is consistent with the terms of this TOS and the payment and refund mechanics of the Site. All communications or disputes regarding refunds are between the Organizer and Buyer, and Competition Corner will not be responsible or liable for, and Organizer hereby agrees to fully indemnify Competition Corner and its affiliates for, refunds, errors in issuing refunds, or lack of refunds in connection with the use of the CCP option. (ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, you acknowledge and agree that Competition Corner shall have the right to force a refund of any or all tickets at any time for any reason or no reason, including without limitation if Competition Corner receives complaints from a substantial number (as determined by Competition Corner in its sole discretion) of Buyers with respect to the applicable event or another event held by Organizer, or Competition Corner determines in its sole discretion that Organizer has engaged in any fraudulent activity or made any misrepresentations. Further, if one or more Buyer(s) request a refund, whether due to a cancelled event or for any other reason where Competition Corner would reasonably expect to lose a chargeback, Competition Corner may, in its sole discretion, issue such refund to such Buyer(s), and Organizer shall then owe the amount of such refund to Competition Corner.

(c) Credit Card Chargebacks.

Under the CCP option, any credit card chargebacks initiated by a Buyer for any reason with respect to an event shall be charged back to the Organizer of such event. All communications and disputes regarding chargebacks are between the Organizer and Buyer, and Competition Corner will not be responsible or liable in any way for, and Organizer hereby agrees to fully indemnify Competition Corner and its affiliates for, chargebacks issued in the course of the use of the CCP option.

4.4 Non-Exclusive Remedies.

(a) Payment.

In the event that Organizer fails to pay to Competition Corner any amount owed pursuant to this TOS when due, such amount shall bear interest calculated from the date due until paid in full at a rate equal to the lesser of (a) ten percent (10%) per annum, and (b) the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. In the event any amounts are owed by Organizer to Competition Corner under this TOS or otherwise, Competition Corner may, without limiting its other rights and remedies, (i) deduct such amounts from Organizer's outstanding balance, whether for that particular event or for any other event that Organizer lists through the Services; and/or (ii) send an invoice to Organizer for such amounts to the extent Organizer's outstanding balance is insufficient to cover these costs, in which case Organizer shall pay Competition Corner such invoiced amounts within thirty (30) days after the date of the invoice. If payment for any amounts due to Competition Corner hereunder are not made by Organizer when due, Competition Corner reserves the right, in its sole discretion and without limiting its other rights and remedies, to terminate Organizer's registration for the Services (including any and all accounts that Organizer may have) and to cancel all other events listed by Organizer.

(b) Confirmation.

Upon receipt of a credit card authorization from each individual ticket purchase, Competition Corner generates a confirmation message and issues a unique confirmation number. You agree to unconditionally accept, honor, and fulfill all ticketing commitments that have been confirmed by Competition Corner through the Services, and it is your responsibility to verify the Buyer's membership status, confirmation number and/or any event restrictions prior to the subject event.

(c) Taxes; Withholding.

(i) You are solely responsible for determining which, if any, sales, use, amusement, value added, consumption, excise and other taxes, duties, levies and charges (collectively, "Taxes") apply to your use of the Services and for collecting, remitting and reporting the correct amounts of all such Taxes to the applicable governmental authorities, even if Competition Corner provides you with tools that assist you in doing so. Competition Corner does not represent or warrant that any tax tools will meet all tax requirements that may be applicable to you. Competition Corner cannot give you legal or tax advice, so please be sure to check with your own tax advisor about any applicable Taxes. In the event that a governmental authority requires Competition Corner to pay any Taxes attributable to your use of the Services, you agree to indemnify and reimburse Competition Corner for such Taxes and all costs and expenses related thereto.

(ii) All Service Fees charged by Competition Corner do not include any Taxes except to the extent that a Tax is expressly set forth in the applicable invoice or billing statement, and you agree to pay any Taxes that are imposed and payable on such Service Fees (other than those calculated based on Competition Corner'S net income) to Competition Corner.

(iii) In addition, due to new IRS regulations, if Competition Corner processes transactions and issues you payouts (A) for more than $20,000 in gross sales and (B) for more than 200 order transactions, in each case during a given calendar year and in the aggregate across all of your accounts, Competition Corner is required to report to the IRS the gross amount of transactions for which you have been paid in that calendar year and in each month of that calendar year, as well as, your name, your address, and your Tax Identification Number ("Your Tax Information"). Starting in 2013, as part of these new IRS regulations, Competition Corner is required to either (I) collect Your Tax Information or (II) establish that you are a foreign person not subject to US taxes, before your accounts pass the 200 order transaction threshold in the aggregate. Once your accounts cross the 200 order transaction threshold, you agree that you will not receive any further payments from Competition Corner until either (I) or (II) above are satisfied. To learn more about these new IRS regulations and why we are required to do this, see our 1099-K FAQ.https://competitioncorner.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/202723183-1099-K-W-9-and-W-8BEN-tax-information

(iv) Competition Corner reserves the right to withhold the payment of any amounts owed to you hereunder if Competition Corner suspects or determines that such amounts have been generated in (A) a fraudulent manner, (B) violation of this TOS, or (C) violation of any applicable laws or regulations (foreign or domestic), or if Competition Corner is required to do so by applicable laws or regulations (foreign or domestic). Such withholding may be temporary or permanent (as determined by Competition Corner).
