By entering into this Agreement, you hereby authorize Splash to use Your Data to integrate with the Stripe Services and to communicate Your Data to Stripe. Your use of the Stripe Services is governed by the Stripe Privacy Policy, available at https://stripe.com/us/privacy.
D. Billing. By choosing to use the Event Payment Service, the Vendor Payment Service (both defined below) or any Services described in this Section 5 for which Splash charges a fee now or in the future (the “Paid Services”), you agree to pay us, through the applicable Payment Processor, all charges at the prices then in effect for any use of such Paid Services in accordance with the applicable payment terms and you authorize us, through the applicable Payment Processor to charge your chosen payment provider (your “Payment Method”). You agree to make payment using that selected Payment Method. We reserve the right to correct any errors or mistakes that it makes even if it has already requested or received payment.
E. Payment Method. The terms of your payment will be based on your Payment Method and may be determined by agreements between you and the financial institution, credit card issuer or other provider of your chosen Payment Method. If we, through the applicable Payment Processor do not receive payment from you, you agree to pay all amounts due on your Billing Account upon demand.
F. Event Payments. Event Planners may elect for payments to be collected on their behalf from attendees of events (“Event Payments”) (the “Event Payment Service”). These payments may be collected through a number of methods, including electronic methods using third-party services (such as Stripe or Braintree). The Stripe SSA and CAA shall apply to all Event Payments using the Stripe Services and the below terms shall not apply. If an Event Planner uses the Braintree Services then the below terms shall apply in addition to the Braintree PSA and Braintree Bank Agreement:
i. Splash Obligations. Splash shall transfer payments, less applicable fees, from the attendees of events (each a “Payee”) to the appropriate recipient as soon as practicable. Splash shall also provide the Event Planner, to the extent available, with a record of all Event Payments made for a particular event and from where those payments originated (a “Transaction Record”). Splash makes no guarantees as to the correctness or completeness of Transaction Records, particularly where Splash must rely on a third-party service provider for the applicable information. Splash will also provide Event Planners with the terms of service of any third party services that it uses for this purpose for their review prior to collection of any Event Payments.
ii. Advances. Registered User agrees that any portion of the Event Payments for a given event are earned by the Registered User only following the conclusion of the applicable event. Splash, in its sole discretion, may determine to advance a portion of the Events Payment to Registered User prior to thirty (30) days following the conclusion of the applicable event, on such terms and conditions as Splash and Registered User may establish from time to time. Such terms will be agreed to by us in a separate agreement, signed by each of Splash and Registered User or will be made available to Registered User at the time the advance is agreed to. Registered User acknowledges and agrees that any payments by Splash to Registered User of any portion of the Event Payments prior to the thirtieth (30th) business day after the end of date of the applicable event are merely advances of amounts that may become due to Registered User under this Terms of Service and that Splash may demand back such advances (or any portion thereof) from time to time in its sole discretion based upon the level of refunds, disputed charges, chargebacks, customer complaints, allegations of fraud, change in Registered User’s credit profile or the underlying event’s risk profile, or breaches of the Terms of the Service. Upon receipt of any such demand, Registered User shall thereupon promptly pay back to Splash the portion of any such advance demanded. Alternatively and at its sole discretion, Splash may withhold other money due to Registered User to satisfy any such demand.
iii. Reserves. Splash reserves the right to retain a certain percentage of the Event Payments to fund a reserve (i) at any time as Splash may determine (in its sole discretion) if necessary based upon the level (or expected level) of refunds, disputed charges, chargebacks, complaints, allegations of fraud or changes in Registered User’s credit profile or the underlying event’s risk profile; and/or (ii) as otherwise necessary to secure the performance of Registered User’s obligations under the Terms of Service, any Master Service Agreement (“MSA”) or Statement of Work (“SOW”) and any Vendor Agreement (if applicable). Splash’s right to hold a reserve shall continue following the applicable event and until either (A) Registered User has discharged all obligations under the Terms of Service, MSA, SOW and/or the Vendor Agreement (if applicable) and the applicable periods for refunds, disputed charges, chargebacks, and complaints have passed or (B) Registered User has otherwise provided Splash with adequate security (as determined by Splash in its sole discretion) for its obligations under the Terms of Service, MSA, SOW and/or the Vendor Agreement (if applicable), whether matured or unmatured, contingent or noncontingent, or liquidated or unliquidated.
iv. Chargebacks; Reversals. If you have elected to use the Event Payment Service, any credit card chargebacks or other transaction reversals initiated against Splash or its affiliates for any reason with respect to your event and all related credit card association, payment processing, re-presentment, penalty and other fees and expenses incurred by Splash or its affiliates in connection with such chargebacks shall ultimately be the responsibility of you, and you acknowledge and agree to promptly and fully reimburse and indemnify (including payment for costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees) Splash for any such amounts on demand.
v. Fraudulent, Erroneous or Duplicate Transactions; Mandatory Refunds. Splash reserves the right to seek reimbursement from you, and you will reimburse Splash, if Splash discovers a fraudulent transaction, erroneous or duplicate transaction, or if Splash receives a chargeback or reversal from your credit card company, bank or PayPal for any reason. You agree to and acknowledge Splash’s right to investigate any and all transactions for fraud. Further, you agree to cooperate with any reasonable requests made by Splash in an effort to investigate fraud. You agree that Splash has the right to obtain such reimbursement by any lawful means, including using a third party collection agency. Failure to pay for reimbursements of a chargeback or a reversal of payment is cause for suspension or termination of your Account. You hereby agree to promptly and fully reimburse and indemnify (including payment for costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees) Splash and its affiliates upon demand for refunds that Splash makes pursuant to this Terms of Service. You acknowledge and agree that chargebacks will result in losses to Splash in excess of the amount of the underlying transaction and that by refunding transactions in advance of a chargeback Splash is mitigating such losses and its damages with respect to your breach of this Terms of Service and any Vendor Agreement (if applicable).
G. Vendor Payments. Event Planners may elect to pay Vendors through Splash (the “Vendor Payment Service”), where Splash shall collect and direct payment from Event Planners to Vendors using a third-party payment service.
i. Invoices. When a Vendor completes an agreed-to task for an Event Planner and the Event Planner has elected to use the Vendor Payment Service, the Vendor will submit an invoice to the Event Planner under the applicable Vendor Agreement. The invoice shall not be final and approved for payment until both the Event Planner and the Vendor have confirmed the accuracy of the invoice or have waived the right to review it. SPLASH ENCOURAGES ALL EVENT PLANNERS AND VENDORS TO REVIEW INVOICES.
ii. Payments. As directed by the Event Planner, final invoices shall be paid either (1) by Splash from collected Event Payments, (2) by Splash from funds provided by the Event Planner or (3) directly by the Event Planner or its client. If an Event Planner elects to pay from collected Event Payments, but the Event Payments are insufficient to cover applicable final invoices, the uncovered invoices shall be submitted directly to the Event Planner for payment. Under no circumstances will Splash be ultimately responsible for payments to be made on behalf of Event Planners.
iii. Disputes. Unless otherwise provided for under an applicable Vendor Agreement, if an Event Planner reasonably disputes any invoice, the Event Planner will pay all undisputed amounts within the time frames specified in Vendor Agreement, and both parties will cooperate to verify any disputed amounts. Any invoiced amounts reasonably disputed by an Event Planner will not be payable to a Vendor until such dispute is resolved.
H. Miscellaneous.
i. Authorized Payments are Final. Your use of the Event Payment Service or the Vendor Payment Service (the “Payment Services”) constitutes your agreement to pay for any amounts that you authorize us to charge against your credit card, bank account, PayPal account or other payment method. Such payments, once authorized, are final.
ii. Currency. The Payment Services operate in U.S. Dollars and therefore Splash is not responsible for currency fluctuations that occur when billing or crediting a credit or debit card denominated in a currency other than U.S. Dollars, nor is Splash responsible for currency fluctuations that occur when receiving or sending payments via wire transfer, check or automated clearinghouse.
iii. Non-Exclusive Remedies. If, for any reason, Splash does not receive payment for any amounts that you have authorized to be paid through your use of the Payment Services, you agree to pay such amount immediately upon demand by Splash. In the event any amounts are owed by you to Splash under the Terms of Service Splash may, without limiting its other rights and remedies and to the extent permitted by applicable local, state, provincial, national or other laws, rules or regulations (A) withhold any amounts due to you, whether for a particular event or for any other event that you list through the Services and use the withheld amount to setoff the amounts owed by you to Splash; and/or (B) send an invoice to you for such amounts to the extent your outstanding balance is insufficient to cover these costs, in which case you shall pay Splash such invoiced amounts within thirty (30) days after the date of the invoice. Failure to pay for any amounts due after receiving a late payment notice from Splash means that Splash may in its sole discretion and without limiting its other rights and remedies, suspend or terminate your Account.
6. Content
A. Definition. For purposes of these Terms of Service, the term “Content” includes, without limitation, contact information, calendar information, schedules, contract clauses, videos, audio clips, written posts and comments, information, data, text, photographs, software, scripts, graphics, and interactive features generated, provided, or otherwise made accessible on or through the Services.

The Services may permit you to link to other websites, services or resources on the Internet and other websites, services or resources may contain links to the Services. When you access third party resources on the Internet, you do so at your own risk. These other resources are not under the control of Splash, and you acknowledge that Splash is not responsible or liable for the content, functions, accuracy, legality, appropriateness or any other aspect of such websites or resources except for loss, injury, claim, liability, or damage due to Splash’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The inclusion of any such link does not imply endorsement by Splash or any association with its operators.

9. Disclaimer Regarding Legal Services
A. Document Services. A potential feature of Splash provides proposed language that its Registered Users may elect to utilize in agreements with various third party service providers (the “Splash Document Service”). The Splash Document Service allows Registered Users to “mix and match” these proposed clauses to form aspects of a written agreement. Nothing contained herein requires you to use the Splash Document Service; you may always use your own agreements.
B. No Provision of Legal Services. SPLASH IS NOT A LAW FIRM, AND THE EMPLOYEES OF SPLASH ARE NOT ACTING AS ATTORNEYS FOR ANY USERS, REGISTERED OR OTHERWISE. THE SERVICES, AND THE ONE CLIPBOARD DOCUMENT SERVICE, ARE NOT, AND SHOULD NEVER BE, A SUBSTITUTE FOR THE ADVICE OF AN ATTORNEY. SPLASH CANNOT AND DOES NOT PROVIDE LEGAL ADVICE, AND CAN ONLY PROVIDE SELF-HELP SERVICES AT YOUR SPECIFIC DIRECTION. SPLASH IS NOT PERMITTED TO ENGAGE IN THE PRACTICE OF LAW. SPLASH IS PROHIBITED FROM PROVIDING ANY KIND OF ADVICE, EXPLANATION, OPINION, OR RECOMMENDATION TO A CONSUMER ABOUT POSSIBLE LEGAL RIGHTS, REMEDIES, DEFENSES, OPTIONS, SELECTION OF FORMS OR STRATEGIES.
C. No Attorney-Client Relationship. The Services are not intended to create an attorney-client relationship, and by using Splash, no attorney-client relationship will be created with Splash. Instead, you are representing yourself in any legal matter you undertake through Splash. Accordingly, while communications between you and Splash are protected by our Privacy Policy, they are not protected by the attorney-client privilege or the work product doctrine.
D. Not Legal Advice. At no time do we review your documents for legal sufficiency, draw legal conclusions, provide legal advice or apply the law to the facts of your particular situation. Splash and the Services are not a substitute for the advice of an attorney. Legal information available on the site is not legal advice and is not guaranteed to be correct, complete or up-to-date. Because the law changes rapidly, is different from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, and is also subject to varying interpretations by different courts and certain government and administrative bodies, Splash cannot guarantee that all the information on the Site or the Services is current, accurate or sufficient. The law is a personal matter and no general information or tools, like the kind One Clipboard provides, can fit every circumstance. Therefore, if you need legal advice for your specific situation, you should consult a licensed attorney in your area.
E. Disclaimer of Liability. Splash is not responsible for any loss, injury, claim, liability, or damage related to your use of the Splash Document Service, whether from errors or omissions in the content of the One Clipboard Document Service, from the Splash Document Service being down or from any other use of the Splash Document Service, unless such loss, injury, claim, liability, or damage is due to Splash’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In short, your use of the Splash Document Service is at your own risk.
10. Termination
Splash may terminate your access to all or any part of the Services at any time, with or without cause, upon five (5) days’ notice, which may result in the forfeiture and destruction of all information associated with your membership. If you breach these Terms of Service, Splash may terminate your access immediately, without notice. If you wish to terminate your Account, you may do so at any time by following the instructions on the Site or through the Services. Any fees paid to Splash are non-refundable. All provisions of these Terms of Service which by their nature should survive termination shall survive termination, including, without limitation, licenses of User Content, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnity and limitations of liability.

SPLASH DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES CAUSED BY ANY SUCH INTERRUPTION OR ERRORS IN FUNCTIONING, OR BY THE LOSS OF ANY DATA OR INFORMATION YOU PROVIDE TO SPLASH, UNLESS SUCH DAMAGE OR LOSS IS DUE TO SPLASH’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT. FURTHERMORE, SPLASH DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY FOR ANY MALFUNCTIONING, IMPOSSIBILITY OF ACCESS, OR POOR USE CONDITIONS OF THE SERVICES DUE TO INAPPROPRIATE EQUIPMENT, DISTURBANCES RELATED TO INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDERS, TO THE SATURATION OF THE INTERNET NETWORK, AND FOR ANY OTHER REASON EXCEPT FOR LOSS, INJURY, CLAIM, LIABILITY, OR DAMAGE DUE TO SPLASH’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.

DISCOVERY AND RIGHTS TO APPEAL IN ARBITRATION ARE GENERALLY MORE LIMITED THAN IN A LAWSUIT, AND OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU AND SPLASH WOULD HAVE IN COURT MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION. AS AN ALTERNATIVE, YOU MAY BRING YOUR CLAIM IN YOUR LOCAL “SMALL CLAIMS” COURT, IF PERMITTED BY THAT SMALL CLAIMS COURT'S RULES AND IF WITHIN SUCH COURT’S JURISDICTION, UNLESS SUCH ACTION IS TRANSFERRED, REMOVED OR APPEALED TO A DIFFERENT COURT. YOU MAY BRING CLAIMS ONLY ON YOUR OWN BEHALF. NEITHER YOU NOR SPLASH WILL PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION FOR ANY CLAIMS COVERED BY THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE. YOU ARE GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS MEMBER ON ANY CLASS CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE AGAINST SPLASH INCLUDING ANY RIGHT TO CLASS ARBITRATION OR ANY CONSOLIDATION OF INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATIONS. You also agree not to participate in claims brought in a private attorney general or representative capacity, or consolidated claims involving another person’s account, if Splash is a party to the proceeding. This dispute resolution provision will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and not by any state law concerning arbitration. In the event JAMS, Inc. is unwilling or unable to set a hearing date within one hundred and sixty (160) days of filing the case, then either Splash or you can elect to have the arbitration administered instead by the American Arbitration Association. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction. The arbitration shall be conducted in the English language. Any provision of applicable law notwithstanding, the arbitrator will not have authority to award damages, remedies or awards that conflict with these Terms of Service. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of, related to or connected with the use of the Services or these Terms of Service must be filed within one (1) year after such claim of action arose or be forever banned.
B. 30-Day Opt-Out Period. If you do not wish to be bound by the arbitration and class-action waiver provisions in this Section 14, you must notify Splash in writing within 30 days of the date that you first accept these Terms of Service (unless a longer period is required by applicable law). Your written notification must be mailed to Splash at the following address: 228 Park Ave S PMB 56031, New York, NY 10003-1502. If you do not notify Splash in accordance with this Section 14(b), you agree to be bound by the arbitration and class-action waiver provisions of these Terms of Service, including such provisions in any Terms of Service revised after the date of your first acceptance. Such notification must include: (i) your name; (ii) your email and mailing addresses and (iii) a statement that you do not wish to resolve disputes with Splash through arbitration. If Splash makes any changes to the Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section of these Terms of Service (other than a change to the address at which we will receive notices of dispute, opt-out notices, or rejections of future changes to the Arbitration and Clause Action Waiver section), you may reject any such change by sending Splash written notice within 30 days of the change to the address set forth in this Section 14(b). This notification affects these Terms of Service only; if you previously entered into other arbitration agreements with Splash or enter into other such agreements in the future, your notification that you are opting out of the arbitration provision in these Terms of Service shall not affect the other arbitration agreements between you and Splash.
C. Severability. If the prohibition against class actions and other claims brought on behalf of third parties contained above is found to be unenforceable, then all of the preceding language in this Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section will be null and void. This arbitration agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with Splash.
15. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms of Service shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, including its conflicts of law rules, and the United States of America. You agree that any dispute arising from or relating to the subject matter of these Terms of Service shall be governed by the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and Federal courts of New York County, New York.
16. Intellectual Property Infringement Notification Process
In accordance with the DMCA, we’ve adopted the policy below toward copyright infringement. We reserve the right to (1) block access to or remove material that we believe in good faith to be copyrighted material that has been illegally copied and distributed by any of our advertisers, affiliates, content providers, members or users and (2) remove and discontinue service to repeat offenders.(1) Procedure for Reporting Copyright Infringements. If you believe that material or content residing on or accessible through the Services infringes your copyright (or the copyright of someone whom you are authorized to act on behalf of), please send a notice of copyright infringement containing the following information to the Splash’s Designated Agent to Receive Notification of Claimed Infringement (our “Designated Agent”)
(a) A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright that has been allegedly infringed;
(b) Identification of works or materials being infringed;
(c) Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing including information regarding the location of the infringing materials that the copyright owner seeks to have removed, with sufficient detail so that Company is capable of finding and verifying its existence;
(d) Contact information about the notifier including address, telephone number and, if available, email address;
(e) A statement that the notifier has a good faith belief that the material identified in (1)(c) is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
(f) A statement made under penalty of perjury that the information provided is accurate and the notifying party is authorized to make the complaint on behalf of the copyright owner.
(2) Once Proper Bona Fide Infringement Notification is Received by the Designated Agent. Upon receipt of a proper notice of copyright infringement, we reserve the right to:
(a) remove or disable access to the infringing material;
(b) notify the content provider who is accused of infringement that we have removed or disabled access to the applicable material; and
(c) terminate such content provider's access to the Services if he or she is a repeat offender.
(3) Procedure to Supply a Counter-Notice to the Designated Agent. If the content provider believes that the material that was removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing, or the content provider believes that it has the right to post and use such material from the copyright owner, the copyright owner's agent, or, pursuant to the law, the content provider may send us a counter-notice containing the following information to the Designated Agent:
(a) A physical or electronic signature of the content provider;
(b) Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or disabled;
(c) A statement that the content provider has a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material; and
(d) Content provider's name, address, telephone number, and, if available, email address, and a statement that such person or entity consents to the jurisdiction of the Federal Court for the judicial district in which the content provider’s address is located, or, if the content provider's address is located outside the United States, for any judicial district in which Company is located, and that such person or entity will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement.
If a counter-notice is received by the Designated Agent, Company may, in its discretion, send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party informing that person that Company may replace the removed material or cease disabling it in 10 business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the content provider accused of committing infringement, the removed material may be replaced or access to it restored in 10 to 14 business days or more after receipt of the counter-notice, at Company's discretion.
