FEES AND REFUNDS 

Fees.

Offering Fee Charges.  Anyone using the Platform to register for an Offering, including but not limited to an event, will incur a platform offering fee (sometimes referred to, specifically as an “Event Fee” due to the majority of offerings being events) and processing fee/convenience fees charge at check out for each event, as well as applicable taxes, if any (“Platform Fees”). Presently, the Platform Fees are calculated as 6% of the event fee plus $0.79 for processing/convenience. Play’n Sports reserves the right to change the Platform Fees and shall post such change(s) plainly within the Platform or its checkout prior to processing your payment. To the extent any discrepancy exists between the rates posted here and throughout the Platform, those posted throughout the Platform shall control. However, the Platform Fees shall never fall below those posted here. These Platform Fees are not refundable, even if you are entitled to a partial or full refund of an event fee charge, and, as a condition of using the Platform, you agree to pay not only the Offering Fee charges, but also the Platform Fees. If you do not agree, do not use the Platform.

Chargebacks, etc. In the event of a chargeback, dispute, or challenge (collectively, “Chargeback”) instituted by parent, player, organization, or other end-user or beneficiary of the Offering (“Beneficiary”), or his, her or their respective bank, credit union, credit card company, or payment processing platform, with or without the knowledge of the Beneficiary of the Platform to the Offering Fee, Platform Fees, or both, the Beneficiary understands, acknowledges, and authorizes Play’n Sports to: (a) challenge such Chargeback on its behalf, as well as that of the individual or organization posting or providing the Offering; (b) use any and all information and data provided on, in, or through the Platform, or to the individual or organization posting or providing the Offering itself including, but not limited to, attendance confirmation, images of the Beneficiary or his, her or their underage participant attending and/or participating in or using the Offering, confirmation of delivery of the Offering to the Beneficiary (e.g., delivery logs from any third-party delivery service utilized); (c) release information of and concerning the Chargeback to the individual or entity responsible for the posting or providing the Offering, which may include individuals at any level of our Free Exclusive, Secondary, and URL Members; and, (d) seek reimbursement to Play’n Sports, or to the individual or entity responsible for the posting or providing the Offering, for any actual charges or fees incurred by any such party including, but not limited to costs and expenses imposed by any bank, credit union, financial institution or payment processing platform of the Beneficiary or Play’n Sports. Furthermore, Beneficiary authorizes Play’n Sports to charge such fee against the form of payment presented to pay for the event and Platform Fees initially.

Play’n Sports takes no responsibility for any actual, incidental, or consequential damage resulting to Beneficiary or a participant, including his, her or their reputation, because Play’n Sports exercises its rights, or the rights of the individual or organization posting or providing the Offering, including disclosure of the Chargeback’s existence to the individual or organization posting or providing the Offering. Or the way the individual or entity responsible for posting or providing the Offering reacts, handles, or otherwise manages the Chargeback internally.

All Free Exclusive, Secondary, and URL Members, or third-party vendors, if any, posting or providing the Offering acknowledges that if a Chargeback results, Play’n Sports reserves the right to: (a) seek immediate reimbursement for all costs and fees incurred as a result thereof; or, (b) obtain reimbursement as a deduction against any income payable from a future Offering. Regardless of Play’n Sports election of remedies, all members irrevocably assign the right to recover any Chargeback from the Beneficiary to Play’n Sports. Favorable resolutions resulting in the posting of monies and/or elimination of fees charged against the account(s) of Play’n Sports shall then be applied against the account(s) of the members. First to the outstanding reimbursements owed to Play’n Sports. Then paid out to the members if reimbursement has occurred.

Platform Secondary and URL Integration Event Fees.  For each event posted on the Platform for a Secondary Member, as such term is defined in the Platform, the Secondary Member will pay Play’n Sports thirty (30%) percent of each event fee collected through the Platform. Members using URL integration agree to pay Play’n Sports according to the terms and conditions of a separate and distinct agreement.

Refunds and Cancellations.

• Responsibility of Free Exclusive, Secondary, and URL Members posting or providing an Offering. Those posting or providing an Offering are solely responsible for establishing a refund policy, if any, and informing Play’n Sports about applicable refunds for any reason, including cancellation of an event, to be applied to or for the benefit of an Offering Beneficiary, which will be processed by Play’n Sports as indicated below. Policies may include, but shall not be limited to, reimbursement of all, some, or none of the event fee, registration in another event, or provision of a coupon code for discounted or free participation in another event.
• Parents and Players. Free Exclusive, Secondary, and URL Members determine the cancellation and refund policy for each Offering.  It is in the sole and absolute discretion of the Free Exclusive and Secondary Member to grant any such refund of the Offering Fee, whether full, partial, or none, registration in another event, or the issuance of a credit or coupon permitting participation in a future Offering, but not the Platform Fees.  Even if an Offering Beneficiary is granted a refund of the Offering Fee, Play’n Sports is not required to refund the Platform Fees.

Any request for a refund must be processed through the “refund button” within your Platform dashboard. Or by contacting the Free Exclusive and Secondary Member directly. Not through the “contact us” or system.

You understand that any monetary refund of the Offering Fee will be credited against the form payment used to originally pay for the Offering Fee.  You agree to provide us no less than fifteen (15) business days from the date you properly submit a request, or thirty (30) business days if improperly submitted it, to determine the validity of your request, which requires us to contract the Free Exclusive and Secondary Member that has the sole and absolute discretion to award or grant a request.

• You understand that the Free Exclusive, Secondary, and URL Members are under no obligation to issue a refund of the Offering Fee, in the form or amount it has determined, outside of its or their stated policy due to:  a change in the health or welfare of a registrant or his, her, it’s or their friends, family, or caregivers; inability to travel to or physically appear at the event; commitment to play in another event, or for another entity or organization that renders participation moot; or for any other reason, including force majeure, as defined below.
• If you purchase “cancellation” or “event” protection or insurance at the time of registration, you acknowledge that you are purchasing such protection from the Free Exclusive, Secondary, or URL Members, and not Play’n Sports. Play’n Sports shall be entitled to charge a Platform Fee based on the value of the additional protection or insurance purchased. However, you acknowledge that this additional purchase is a one-time, sunk cost that shall only entitle you to reimbursement of the base Offering Fee, exclusive of the additional cost of the protection or insurance and all Platform Fees. The base Offering Fee shall be refunded upon confirmation of the cancelled event from the Free Exclusive, Secondary, or URL Members and credited in the same manner outlined above.
• If you initiate a Chargeback following your request for a refund, without permitting Play’n Sports to carry out its refund process, Play’n Sports shall not be required to issue a refund, even if authorized by a Free Exclusive and Secondary Member, until the Chargeback is resolved. Furthermore, if you initiate a Chargeback following Play’n Sports’ issuance of a refund you agree to immediately cancel, terminate, and resolve the Chargeback in a manner that not only prevents you profiting from the Chargeback, but also eliminates a negative impact or impression upon Play’n Sports.
• You are solely responsible for following up with the coach or organization regarding any refund request after properly submitting a request. Play’n Sports makes no guarantee that improperly submitted requests will be received or seen. Nor does, Play’n Sports have any liability or responsibility to you if a refund is not granted by the Free Exclusive and Secondary Member. You therefore agree to and shall save, and forever hold Play’n Sports, its successors and/or assigns, harmless from all damages, whether actual, incidental, or consequential. If you do not agree, do not use the Platform.

Trials.

From time to time, Play’n Sports may offer trials of subscriptions or new features and functionality for a specified period without payment or at a reduced rate (a “Trial”). Play’n Sports may determine your eligibility for a Trial and withdraw or modify a Trial at any time without prior notice and with no liability, to the extent permitted under applicable law.  All Trials are subject to these Terms of Use.

Arbitration Agreement, Jury Trial Waiver, Class Action Waiver.

If you pursue a legal claim against Play’n Sports you agree to arbitration (with limited exceptions and except where prohibited by law):

• The exclusive means of resolving any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement (including any alleged breach thereof) or our services shall be binding arbitration administered by JAMS under the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures, except as modified by these Arbitration Procedures.
• The one exception is that either party has the right to bring an individual claim against the other in a small-claims court of competent jurisdiction, or, if filed in arbitration, the responding party may request that the dispute proceed in small claims court if the party’s claim is within the jurisdiction of the small claims court. If the responding party requests to proceed in small claims court before the appointment of the arbitrator, the arbitration shall be administratively closed, and if requested after the appointment of the arbitrator, the arbitrator shall determine if the dispute should be decided in arbitration or if the arbitration should be administratively closed and decided in small claims court. Whether you choose arbitration or small-claims court, you may not under any circumstances commence or maintain against Interlace any class action, class arbitration, or other representative action or proceeding.
• Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury, and the arbitrator shall determine all issues regarding the arbitrability of the dispute. You are entitled to a fair hearing before the arbitrator. The arbitrator can grant any relief that a court can and decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons.
• Any proceeding to enforce this arbitration agreement, including any proceeding to confirm, modify, or vacate an arbitration award, may be commenced in any court of competent jurisdiction. In the event that this arbitration agreement is for any reason held to be unenforceable, any litigation against Play’n Sports (except for small-claims court actions) may be commenced only in the federal or state courts located in North Carolina jurisdiction of those courts for such purposes.

CLASS ACTION WAIVER. WE EACH AGREE THAT ANY PROCEEDINGS, WHETHER IN ARBITRATION OR COURT, WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR AS A MEMBER IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. If a court or arbitrator determines in an action between you and us that this Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, the arbitration agreement will be void as to you.

JURY TRIAL WAIVER. IF A CLAIM PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN THROUGH ARBITRATION, WE EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.
