HOST TERMS OF SERVICE
1. Overview
These Host Terms govern your use of The Wedding Ticket, a service operated by 67 Percent Inc. (“Company,” “we,” “us”), to create event pages and receive monetary contributions from invited guests. By creating a host account, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy.
2. Payment Processing and Non‑Custodial Model
Card acceptance, settlement, reserves, and payouts are provided by Stripe, Inc. and its affiliates (“Stripe”). You must agree to Stripe’s applicable terms. Contributions are processed and held by Stripe and paid out to you according to a payout schedule we configure with Stripe. Funds are held solely by Stripe in the host’s connected account. The Company never has control, custody, or the ability to access or redirect funds except through Stripe’s Connect platform as permitted for application fees or refunds. The Company does not take possession of funds and does not act as a bank, money transmitter, or escrow agent. All payouts remain subject to Stripe’s risk checks, reserves, disputes, chargebacks, and compliance validations. For the avoidance of doubt, no payouts are fronted, advanced, or otherwise funded by The Wedding Ticket.
NOTE: We do not control the timing or availability of host payouts; those determinations are made by Stripe. As a general matter, payouts are typically available shortly after contributions clear, often within 2 to 7 days, subject to Stripe processing timelines and any risk‑based holds or reserves, particularly for new or high‑risk accounts.
3. Eligibility and Verification
Hosts must be at least 18 years old, located in the United States, and provide accurate identity, tax, and payout information. Stripe may verify your identity and request additional documents. We and Stripe may decline, suspend, or terminate access for risk or compliance reasons.
4. Creating Events and Setting Contributions
You set a per‑guest contribution amount and may allow optional add‑ons. You represent that contributions are voluntary monetary gifts from guests to you in celebration of your event, are not charitable donations, and do not purchase admission, attendance, or entry. You may not condition attendance or access to the event on making a contribution. You will not misrepresent your event or the intended use of funds.
5. Fees
We charge a platform fee per successful contribution as disclosed in your dashboard or at checkout. Stripe charges separate processing fees. Our fee is deducted contemporaneously with processing or at payout.
6. Payouts, Holds, and Reserves
We may instruct Stripe to place reserves, hold payouts, or reverse transactions if fraud, disputes, or policy violations are suspected.
7. Refunds, Cancellations, and Postponements
You must follow our Refund and Cancellation Policy. If an event is canceled or materially changed, you authorize us to instruct Stripe to issue refunds in accordance with that Policy and card‑network rules. If you do not take required action, we may act to protect contributors.
8. Disputes and Chargebacks
Card disputes are administered by Stripe and the card networks. You agree to cooperate with evidence requests. You are financially responsible for chargebacks and related fees attributable to your event.
9. Acceptable Use and Legal Compliance
You will comply with our Acceptable Use Policy and all applicable laws. Prohibited uses include illegal activity, creation of sham or shell events for fundraising, regulated fundraising or gaming, misleading claims, misuse of vendor payments, circular transactions (Guest → Host → Guest), and activity involving sanctioned persons or jurisdictions. We may require identity verification, documentary evidence, or additional information to satisfy fraud, sanctions, and compliance reviews. We may suspend or terminate accounts for violations.
10. Taxes
Contributions are not charitable donations and are not tax‑deductible to contributors. The Company does not provide tax advice. You are responsible for determining the appropriate tax treatment of amounts you receive through the platform and for any reporting and payment obligations that may apply to you.
11. Content and License
You grant us a limited, non‑exclusive license to host and display content you upload for your event. You represent you have all necessary rights to that content.
12. Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver
You and the Company agree to resolve any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the service through binding individual arbitration rather than in court. The Federal Arbitration Act and Indiana law govern the interpretation and enforcement of this provision. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial or Consumer Rules as applicable. The seat of arbitration will be Marion County, Indiana. Either party may bring a claim in small claims court instead of arbitration if the claim qualifies. You and the Company each waive any right to a jury trial and to participate in a class action, class arbitration, or representative action. You may opt out within 30 days of accepting these Terms by sending written notice to 67 Percent Inc., 2106 Morthland Drive #1063, Valparaiso, IN 46383.
13. Termination
You may close your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate access for risk, legal, or policy reasons. Termination does not relieve you of obligations to address refunds, disputes, or fees.
14. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability
The service is provided “as is.” To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim implied warranties and limit our total liability to the greater of platform fees you paid to us in the 3 months before the claim or 100 U.S. dollars.
15. Governing Law and Venue
Indiana law governs these Terms without regard to conflict rules. For matters not subject to arbitration, the parties consent to exclusive jurisdiction in the state or federal courts located in Marion County, Indiana.
