DISPUTE RESOLUTION
- Arbitration
- To resolve any disputes and claims arising between Alpha Ticket Properties and Consumer, including any arising under or relating to these Terms, or use of the Services, or our relationship, through binding arbitration or (to the extent the claim qualifies) in small claims court, instead of in courts of general jurisdiction. As explained below, the appointed arbitrator will have authority to enter all relief that would be available in court, to the extent warranted by the claims. All arbitrations and small claims proceedings will proceed only on an individual basis. Binding arbitration is subject to very limited review. Only the appointed arbitrator – and not any court – will have the authority to resolve any dispute relating to this Section, including any dispute regarding the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of these Terms. This arbitration provision will survive termination of these Terms and any other agreement between you and us.
- Our agreement to arbitrate applies to almost all claims
- This agreement to arbitrate applies to all legal disputes between you and us. It includes, but is not limited to: (i) all claims relating to any aspect of the relationship between you and us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory; (ii) all claims that arose before this or any prior agreement (including claims relating to advertising); and (iii) all claims that may arise after termination of these Terms and/or your use of the Services.
- Selection of arbitrator
- An arbitration panel will comprise of 3 arbitrators one each from you and us and headed by an arbitrator from our company who is authorized to play the role by mutual understanding between you and us
- Notice prior to arbitration
- A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other a written Notice of Dispute. The said notice to Alpha Tickets Ltd. can only be addressed to the following address: Alpha Tickets Ltd., 4 Bowsfield Rd. North York, ON M3J 3R3
- The notice to also be delivered to Alpha Tickets Ltd. email address
- The notice is to mandatorily include the following (i) nature and basis of claim or dispute; (ii) set forth the specific relief sought
- If Alpha Tickets and you are unable to reach an agreement pertaining to the said claim within sixty (60) days after issuance of the Notice, then you or Alpha Tickets may commence an arbitration proceeding
- These are the rules that will govern any arbitration proceedings
- The arbitration will be governed by the Canada Arbitration Association (CAA) Arbitration Rules and will be administered by CAA and settled by three arbitrators, the selection of whom has been mentioned under Section 6.3 herein above mentioned. All issues in dispute between the parties are for the arbitrator to decide, including, issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this Section.
- This is where the arbitration will take place
- If you are a Consumer, any arbitration hearings will take place (at your option) either in the county of your residence or by phone, except that if you are a Consumer whose residence is outside of Canada, the hearing will take place either in Ontario, Canada or by phone or video-conference, at your option and as permitted by the CAA Rules. If your use of the Services is or was for commercial use, then unless Alpha Tickets and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in the Ontario, Canada in a reasonably convenient location for both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator will issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. All decisions by the arbitrator will be final and binding on both you and us and judgment on the award rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
- This is how we decide who’s responsible for the costs of arbitration and legal fees.
- a)Payment of Costs and Expenses. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator costs and expenses imposed by CAA will be governed by the CAA Rules. In the event that the arbitrator determines that all of the claims you assert in arbitration were frivolous at the time they were filed or that you continued to press those claims even after receiving information demonstrating that such claims were frivolous, you agree to reimburse Alpha Tickets Ltd. for all of the costs and expenses that Alpha Tickets paid and that you would have been obligated to pay under the CAA Rules
- b)Payment of Legal Fees. Just as in any court proceeding, each party will initially bear its own attorneys’ fees and expenses in connection with any arbitration. Should either party be determined to have substantially prevailed in the arbitration, then upon such party’s request, the arbitrator will award such prevailing party the reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses that it incurred in connection with the arbitration, provided that to the extent that the dispute or claim relate to your personal use of the Services (rather than business use) Alpha Tickets will not seek to recover its attorneys’ fees and expenses in an arbitration initiated by you unless the arbitrator determines that your claims were frivolous as set forth above. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the reimbursement of attorneys’ fees and expenses upon request from either party made within fourteen (14) days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.
- If you want to opt out of our agreement to arbitrate, you must notify us in time.
- You have a right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration but to do so you have to send a written notice of your decision to opt-out to our email address. Please include the following in the subject line, “ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER OPT-OUT.” The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of the institution of arbitration proceedings otherwise, you will be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of these provisions. Note that if you opt out of these arbitration provisions, Alpha Tickets also will not be bound by them.

The fees charged to Consumers may include other charges, including facility fees, royalties, taxes, processing fees, and fulfillment fees. This means that the fees paid by Consumers for an event are not necessarily the same as those charged by us to the applicable Organizer or the standard fees described on the Services to Organizers. In addition, some fees are meant to defray costs incurred by us, but may in some cases include an element of profit and in some cases include an element of loss. We do not control (and 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 purchasing to understand all applicable fees, credit card surcharges, and currency conversion rates.
- The Event Organizer will sell us tickets at a certain price as mentioned in an agreement signed between them and us. Our liability regarding this will be equal and limited only to the amount as mentioned in that agreement. We have the right to sell the tickets for an event at Alpha Tickets Properties at a price which solely depends upon us and the same cannot be contravened or interfered with by the Event Organizer.
- The payment for the tickets sold by Alpha Tickets Properties will be made to the Event Organizer within 5 – 6 business days after the conclusion of the event.

The same will be reflected in the bank account of the consumer within 6 – 10 days of such initiation of the process. Along with this an email will be sent to the consumer regarding the cancellation of the event.
- If you are a Consumer and you have already received a refund for your ticket, you will discard the ticket and will not use it (or any copy of it) to attend the event. Violation of the same will amount to fraud.
- Organizers must not accept an invalid ticket.
- We will not be liable under any circumstances for any costs arising from Organizers’ non-compliance with the procedures that must be implemented by Organizers to check the validity of tickets.

Once Personal Data is in an aggregated form, for purposes of this Privacy Policy, it becomes Non-Personal Data.
HOW WE DISCLOSE AND TRANSFER YOUR PERSONAL DATA

There are certain circumstances in which we may disclose, transfer or share your Personal Data with certain third parties without further notice to you, as set forth in this Privacy Policy. - Business Transfers
- As we develop our business, we might sell or buy businesses or assets. In the event of a corporate sale, merger, reorganization, dissolution or similar event, Personal Data may be part of the transferred assets.

TERM; TERMINATION
These Terms apply when you access our Services.

There may come a time when either you or Alpha Tickets decides it’s best to part ways as described below. When that happens, these Terms will generally no longer apply. However, as described below, certain provisions will always remain applicable to both you and us.
We can revoke your access to our Services

- We may choose to stop offering the Services, or any particular portion of the Services, or modify or replace any aspect of the Services, at any time. We will use reasonable efforts to provide you with notice of our termination of your access to the Services, if we believe that failure to do so would materially prejudice you.

As long as you continue to access the Services, even without an account, these Terms remain in effect.

RELEASE AND INDEMNIFICATION
Release. You won’t bring us into any disputes between you and a third party.

Indemnification. You agree to have our back if a third party comes after us because of something you did or failed to do

Also, in certain circumstances, we may choose to handle the Claim ourselves, in which case you agree to cooperate with us in any way we request.
DISPUTE RESOLUTION
- Arbitration
- To resolve any disputes and claims arising between Alpha Ticket Properties and Consumer, including any arising under or relating to these Terms, or use of the Services, or our relationship, through binding arbitration or (to the extent the claim qualifies) in small claims court, instead of in courts of general jurisdiction. As explained below, the appointed arbitrator will have authority to enter all relief that would be available in court, to the extent warranted by the claims. All arbitrations and small claims proceedings will proceed only on an individual basis. Binding arbitration is subject to very limited review. Only the appointed arbitrator – and not any court – will have the authority to resolve any dispute relating to this Section, including any dispute regarding the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of these Terms. This arbitration provision will survive termination of these Terms and any other agreement between you and us.
- Our agreement to arbitrate applies to almost all claims
- This agreement to arbitrate applies to all legal disputes between you and us. It includes, but is not limited to: (i) all claims relating to any aspect of the relationship between you and us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory; (ii) all claims that arose before this or any prior agreement (including claims relating to advertising); and (iii) all claims that may arise after termination of these Terms and/or your use of the Services.
- Selection of arbitrator
- An arbitration panel will comprise of 3 arbitrators one each from you and us and headed by an arbitrator from our company who is authorized to play the role by mutual understanding between you and us
- Notice prior to arbitration
- A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other a written Notice of Dispute. The said notice to Alpha Tickets Ltd. can only be addressed to the following address: Alpha Tickets Ltd., 4 Bowsfield Rd. North York, ON M3J 3R3
- The notice to also be delivered to Alpha Tickets Ltd. email address
- The notice is to mandatorily include the following (i) nature and basis of claim or dispute; (ii) set forth the specific relief sought
- If Alpha Tickets and you are unable to reach an agreement pertaining to the said claim within sixty (60) days after issuance of the Notice, then you or Alpha Tickets may commence an arbitration proceeding
- These are the rules that will govern any arbitration proceedings
- The arbitration will be governed by the Canada Arbitration Association (CAA) Arbitration Rules and will be administered by CAA and settled by three arbitrators, the selection of whom has been mentioned under Section 6.3 herein above mentioned. All issues in dispute between the parties are for the arbitrator to decide, including, issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this Section.
- This is where the arbitration will take place
- If you are a Consumer, any arbitration hearings will take place (at your option) either in the county of your residence or by phone, except that if you are a Consumer whose residence is outside of Canada, the hearing will take place either in Ontario, Canada or by phone or video-conference, at your option and as permitted by the CAA Rules. If your use of the Services is or was for commercial use, then unless Alpha Tickets and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in the Ontario, Canada in a reasonably convenient location for both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator will issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. All decisions by the arbitrator will be final and binding on both you and us and judgment on the award rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
- This is how we decide who’s responsible for the costs of arbitration and legal fees.
- a)Payment of Costs and Expenses. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator costs and expenses imposed by CAA will be governed by the CAA Rules. In the event that the arbitrator determines that all of the claims you assert in arbitration were frivolous at the time they were filed or that you continued to press those claims even after receiving information demonstrating that such claims were frivolous, you agree to reimburse Alpha Tickets Ltd. for all of the costs and expenses that Alpha Tickets paid and that you would have been obligated to pay under the CAA Rules
- b)Payment of Legal Fees. Just as in any court proceeding, each party will initially bear its own attorneys’ fees and expenses in connection with any arbitration. Should either party be determined to have substantially prevailed in the arbitration, then upon such party’s request, the arbitrator will award such prevailing party the reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses that it incurred in connection with the arbitration, provided that to the extent that the dispute or claim relate to your personal use of the Services (rather than business use) Alpha Tickets will not seek to recover its attorneys’ fees and expenses in an arbitration initiated by you unless the arbitrator determines that your claims were frivolous as set forth above. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the reimbursement of attorneys’ fees and expenses upon request from either party made within fourteen (14) days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.
- If you want to opt out of our agreement to arbitrate, you must notify us in time.
- You have a right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration but to do so you have to send a written notice of your decision to opt-out to our email address. Please include the following in the subject line, “ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER OPT-OUT.” The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of the institution of arbitration proceedings otherwise, you will be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of these provisions. Note that if you opt out of these arbitration provisions, Alpha Tickets also will not be bound by them.

The fees charged to Consumers may include other charges, including facility fees, royalties, taxes, processing fees, and fulfillment fees. This means that the fees paid by Consumers for an event are not necessarily the same as those charged by us to the applicable Organizer or the standard fees described on the Services to Organizers. In addition, some fees are meant to defray costs incurred by us, but may in some cases include an element of profit and in some cases include an element of loss. We do not control (and 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 purchasing to understand all applicable fees, credit card surcharges, and currency conversion rates.
- The Event Organizer will sell us tickets at a certain price as mentioned in an agreement signed between them and us. Our liability regarding this will be equal and limited only to the amount as mentioned in that agreement. We have the right to sell the tickets for an event at Alpha Tickets Properties at a price which solely depends upon us and the same cannot be contravened or interfered with by the Event Organizer.
- The payment for the tickets sold by Alpha Tickets Properties will be made to the Event Organizer within 5 – 6 business days after the conclusion of the event. It is again reiterated that Alpha Tickets Ltd. liability pertaining to the tickets sold is only related to the price of the ticket as mentioned in the agreement signed between the Event Organizer and us.

The same will be reflected in the bank account of the consumer within 6 – 10 days of such initiation of the process. Along with this an email will be sent to the consumer regarding the cancellation of the event.
- If you are a Consumer and you have already received a refund for your ticket, you will discard the ticket and will not use it (or any copy of it) to attend the event. Violation of the same will amount to fraud.
- Organizers must not accept an invalid ticket.
- We will not be liable under any circumstances for any costs arising from Organizers’ non-compliance with the procedures that must be implemented by Organizers to check the validity of tickets.
