|
|
|
|
|
The following terms
of use, along with any other policies, disclaimers or guidelines
posted on this Web site, shall govern your use of this site. By using this
site and/or by making a purchase on this site, you are agreeing to the
following terms and conditions. Please read them carefully before making a
purchase.

Sales Terms & Conditions
|
|
1. PURCHASING
|
|
VIPcontacts.com
provides you with the service of locating tickets that typically are not
available through standard channels, such as through Ticketmaster or from a
venue box office. Because most of our tickets are provided by independent,
professional, secondary ticketing agencies, the price that you pay often is
substantially higher than the price printed on the tickets.
|
|
|
|
2. RETURNS
|
|
There are no
refunds, exchanges, or cancellations on any order once it is submitted to
us. This policy is in place because when you purchase your tickets, we
secure and acquire those tickets for you and are not able to recover our
costs. Please order tickets only after you are certain you want them. For
information on how to resell tickets that you purchased from VIPcontacts.com,
please contact Tickets@VIPcontacts.com or call us at 1-203-488-PASS.
|
|
|
|
3. PRICES & SEATING
|
|
All prices are
guaranteed only after your order is CONFIRMED. Since tickets are bought and
sold on an open market, prices are subject to change at any time. When we
fill your order, if the price of your selected tickets has increased, you
will have the option to cancel your order and your credit card will not be
charged. We will never charge you more than you authorize. As we represent
thousands of ticket sellers who all post tickets for sale on our Web site,
we cannot be responsible for typographical errors within the inventory
listed for sale. When an error is found while processing your order, you
will be notified of the error and provided other seating choices (if
available). You also will be given the option to cancel your order. Please
check your tickets carefully once they arrive. Any discrepancies must be
brought to our attention within 48 hours after receiving your tickets in
order to ensure that the error can be rectified.
|
|
|
|
4. CREDIT CARD PURCHASES
|
|
Please note that
purchases by credit card do not grant any variances from our terms and
conditions. You are still responsible for complying with our terms and
conditions. Any attempts to defraud VIPcontacts.com may result in legal
action brought against you.
|
|
|
|
5. ORDER CONFIRMATION/PROCESSING
|
|
Immediately after
you submit your request for tickets, you will receive an email confirming
that we have received your request. This does not confirm ticket
availability or prices. It only indicates that we have received your
request for those tickets. As soon as we receive your request for tickets,
we begin to process your order and work to acquire and secure the tickets
you requested on your behalf. You will receive an additional order
confirmation email once your order has been processed. If you do not
receive an order confirmation or updated status email, please call our
office to check on your order. NEVER assume your order is cancelled simply
because you have not yet been contacted by us. Online orders placed over the
weekend or after 5 pm
(Eastern Time) may not be processed until the next business day.
|
|
|
|
6. EVENT DATES AND TIMES
|
|
Event dates and
times printed on the face of the tickets are always subject to change. This
is especially true for sporting events that are subject to television
scheduling conflicts. It is important that you check with your local media
to ensure that you arrive at the event on the correct date and at the
correct time.
|
|
|
|
7. CONVENIENCE CHARGE
|
|
The convenience
charge helps VIPcontacts.com recover some of the costs associated with
processing payments, securing and shipping tickets, as well as guaranteeing
that every ticket on the site is authentic. The service charge is 15% with
a $10 minimum per ticket, and is added at checkout.
|
|
|
|
8. TICKET DELIVERY
|
|
All tickets are
delivered via an express delivery service (i.e., Federal Express, Express
Mail, messenger, etc.) and most deliveries will require a signature. It is
your responsibility to be available to accept the delivery. You agree to
provide us with a secure delivery location and authorize someone at that
address to act as your agent in your absence to accept delivery of the
package. If for any reason your tickets are returned to us or could not be
delivered, we will try to contact you to arrange for another delivery
attempt. If you are unavailable or if you refuse delivery of your tickets,
the tickets will be listed for sale on consignment with VIPcontacts, the
preferred broker of VIPcontacts.com. VIPcontacts will act as your agent to
attempt to recover some or all of your costs. You have the right to set the
asking price for your tickets; however, if no communication can be made, VIPcontacts
will price the tickets appropriately in an attempt to recover as much of
your money as possible. This may be substantially less than what you paid
in some cases. If the tickets are not sold by the event date, VIPcontacts
will return your tickets to you shortly after the event. It is always in
your best interest to remain in close contact with VIPcontacts regarding
the pricing of your tickets. You also have the right at any time prior to
your event date to request that your tickets be sent back to you. Simply
request your tickets to be shipped in a manner that will get them to you in
time for your event. Please take into account any potential delays, such as
adverse weather conditions, as VIPcontacts is not responsible under any
circumstances for the timely delivery of your consignment tickets.
|
|
|
|
9. DEPOSITS
|
|
All deposits are
non-refundable. Even though you have not received your requested tickets,
we have already committed to acquiring and securing those tickets for you
by the time your order is confirmed.
|
|
|
|
10. LOST OR STOLEN TICKETS
|
|
When you receive
your tickets, keep them in a safe place. Unfortunately, tickets cannot be
replaced if they are lost, stolen, or damaged. Please note that direct
sunlight and heat can damage some tickets.
|
|
|
|
11. CANCELLED EVENTS
|
|
If an event is
cancelled for any reason other than an act of God (rainout, earthquake,
flood, etc.), war, terrorism, strike, or lockout, we will provide a full
refund for the amount that you paid for the tickets. Shipping charges are
not refundable. TICKETS MUST BE RECEIVED BACK IN OUR OFFICE WITHIN 14 DAYS
OF THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE EVENT CANCELLATION. We suggest returning tickets
via certified mail or using a carrier that can provide you with proof of
delivery. In case of a rainout or strike for a sporting event, no refunds
will be made. You must exchange the tickets at the ballpark box office for
a seat to a future game that is still available. In all other cases
mentioned above, we will attempt in every case to obtain a refund from the
original seller of the tickets; however, no refund or percentage of refund
can be guaranteed.
|
|
|
|
12. POSTPONED EVENTS
|
|
If an event is
postponed, the tickets will be honored for the rescheduled event date. New
tickets will not need to be issued. As we are not able to recover our costs
on the tickets that we acquired for you, we in turn are unable to offer
customers refunds on postponed events.
|
|
|
|
13. TAX AND SHIPPING CHARGES
|
|
Events taking place
within the Connecticut city limits may have tax added to the order. Shipping
charges are calculated based on delivery location and shipping method.
|
|
|
|
14. TRANSLATION POLICY

|
In the event that
any statement in any translated version of this Web site conflicts with the
English version, the statement in the English version shall prevail.

|
|
15. LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY
|
|
VIPcontacts.com is
not responsible for providing transportation or reimbursement of
travel-related expenses under any circumstances unless those items are
specifically included as part of a package. Nor are we responsible for any
delay causing you to arrive late or miss your event for any reason. Any
actions by our company that do result in you missing your event will be
rectified with our liability not exceeding 100% of your total purchase
price. VIPcontacts.com is not responsible for the conditions or the actions
