Please read these terms carefully, and keep a copy of them for your reference.
System Requirements
Use of the Services requires one or more compatible devices, Internet access (fees may apply), and certain software (fees may apply), and may require obtaining updates or upgrades from time to time. Because use of the Services involves hardware, software, and Internet access, Your ability to access and use the Services may be affected by the performance of these factors. High speed Internet access is recommended. You acknowledge and agree that such system requirements, which may be changed from time to time, are Your responsibility.
Services
What We Do. ShoCast provides allows event creators like performers, entertainers, and producers ("Creators") to sell tickets to and create livestreamed performances ("Show") for ticket-buyers or attendees ("Customers"), where they will engage in real-time interaction and communication via video, voice, and chat.
Where We Fit. ShoCast is not the creator, organizer, or owner of the events hosted or listed on the Services. Rather, ShoCast provides its Services, which allow Creators to sell tickets and promote their events. The Creator is solely responsible for ensuring that any page displaying an event on the Services (and the event itself) meet all applicable local, state, provincial, national and other laws, rules and regulations, and that the goods and services described on the event page are delivered as described and in an accurate satisfactory manner.
Beta Services. ShoCast may, from time to time, offer access to services that are classified as Beta version. Access to and use of Beta versions may be subject to additional agreements.

Fees and Refunds
Our Fees. Creating an account, creating Shows, and accessing the Services are free. However, we charge fees when you buy paid tickets or registrations. These fees may vary based on individual agreements between ShoCast and certain Creators. The fees charged to Customers may include certain other charges, including without limitation, facility fees, royalties, taxes, processing fees and fulfillment fees. Certain fees are meant, on average, to defray certain costs incurred by ShoCast, but may in some cases include an element of profit and in some cases include an element of loss. ShoCast does not control (and thus cannot disclose) fees levied by your bank and/or credit card company, including fees for purchasing tickets and registrations in foreign currencies or from foreign persons. Be sure to check with your bank or credit card company prior to engaging in a transaction to understand all applicable fees, credit card surcharges and currency conversion rates.
Refunds. Customers may request refunds at any time by contacting the ShoCast team at info@shocast.live and refunds requested after the Shows take place are only allowed in limited circumstances at our own discretion. If granted, we will issue a refund of the ticket price you paid (or, for a discounted ticket, then instead the discounted ticket price paid), any service fees, and any additional add-ons or upgrades (such as parking).
If a refund is issued, it will be processed to the original method of payment used at time of purchase. We cannot issue a refund to a different credit or debit card (this includes refund requests made through the self-service option). If your credit card or debit card number has changed, but is for the same account (e.g., a new card has been issued for the same account), the refund will be processed to that account.
