3. Accounts
3.1 In order to commence selling Tickets via the Website, a Seller must first register a personal, individual Account by creating a username and a password and by providing such information as may be required by Tixel from time to time. If required by Tixel to verify an Account, Tixel may also require a User to provide an official form of identification.
3.2 Account names must not be misleading or deceptive, offensive, or in violation or any Law or third party rights.
3.3 Tixel may, at its sole discretion and for any or no reason, refuse registration of, or cancel an Account if it is of the view that or there are reasonable grounds to suspect that:
- the User’s use of the Website or the Services violates these Terms or the integrity of the Website; or
- is engaging in or may be engaging in activities that appear to be unlawful, fraudulent or suspicious.
3.4 Sellers are solely responsible for activity on the Account.
4. Listings and Ticket pricing
4.1 Prior to listing Tickets, Sellers should carefully consider the legal rights and obligations that may arise under these Terms and any other terms which may apply between the Seller and a Buyer arising from the sale of the Tickets.
4.2 The Listing of a Ticket is free of charge for the Seller. The Seller will only be charged fees by Tixel (excluding any additional fees and charges which may be charged for non-compliance by the Seller in accordance with clause 5.9 below) if effective transfer of the Ticket occurs.
4.3 If the Ticket uploaded by the Seller does not display the price paid by the Seller to purchase such Ticket, Sellers must specify the original cost of the ticket which guarantees the same entry or seat class as the Ticket. If required by Tixel, the Sellers must provide, and continue to provide, information regarding any potential charges which may apply to enable a Buyer to use the Ticket, including for example, transfer fees, name change fees or other third party fees.
4.4 Sellers are solely responsible for creating their Listings within the format required by Tixel, and for setting the price for each Ticket. The Seller must set a price which includes all taxes and delivery costs associated with selling the Ticket (other than fees payable to Tixel by the Buyer, which are dealt with in clause 4.6) and which must not exceed any cap imposed by Tixel or any other limit prescribed by applicable Laws or these Terms (Listing Price). Tixel will not be involved in this process and will have no influence over the determination of the Listing Price. To that end, in determining the Listing Price, the Seller should have regard to the amount it expects to receive from the transaction, as well as applicable taxes and charges associated with the transaction, the fees payable by the Seller to Tixel for the Service, and the limits prescribed by applicable Laws in relation to ticket resales.
4.5 Tixel's Seller fees (i.e. applicable fees and charges payable by the Seller to Tixel for the Services) will be deducted from the Seller's Listing Price upon sale of the Ticket.
4.6 Tixel's Buyer fees (i.e. applicable fees and charges payable by the Buyer to Tixel for the Services) will be automatically added to the Listing Price when the Buyer proceeds to checkout to purchase the Ticket through the Website and will together form the final and total sale price payable by the Buyer for the Ticket (Sale Price).
4.7 The content and material provided by a User in relation to a Listing shall not contain unauthorised third party intellectual property, or unauthorised material that is subject to other third-party proprietary rights.
4.8 Where Tixel has reasonable suspicion of unlawful or fraudulent activity, or that a ticket is being listed for an amount above 10% of the original face value of the ticket, it may delete, edit, modify, reformat, excerpt, or translate any Listing or material or content related to a Listing. Tixel will notify the Seller of any such changes and the Seller will have the opportunity to delete or amend the Listing.
4.9 Users may, at any time prior to the sale of the ticket, edit, modify or delete a Listing on the Website. For the avoidance of doubt, once the ticket is sold, the User will not be able to edit, modify or delete the Listing and subject to clause 8.3, the conclusion of the sale of the ticket as between the Seller and the Buyer will be final.
4.10 Users acknowledge that Tixel may establish general practices and limits concerning use of the Services, including without limitation, the maximum period of time that data or other content will be retained by Tixel and the maximum storage space that will be allocated to a Listing.
4.11 Tixel may, at its sole discretion and for any reason or no reason, terminate and/or remove any Listing at any time without notice to the User.
5. Sellers
5.1 By creating a Listing, Sellers are making a binding offer to sell that Ticket to a Buyer who purchases the Ticket for the Sale Price. When a Buyer accepts an offer by purchasing a Ticket through our Website or Services, Sellers are contractually bound to provide a Ticket which meets the requirements set out under clause 5.8(a) of these Terms, for the Sale Price, which can be delivered by one of the methods specified by clause 5.2 below and within the required delivery timeframe in accordance with these Terms.
5.2 Delivery of the Ticket to the Buyer may occur via one of the following methods:
- If the Ticket is in its original form and has not been reissued by the Event Organiser and/or Ticket Provider, Tixel will pass the Ticket to the Buyer (as it has been uploaded by the Seller) via Tixel platform;
- If the Ticket must be reissued to the Seller by the Event Organiser and/or Ticket Provider, the Seller must complete all steps required to ensure that such reissued Ticket is delivered to the Buyer in accordance with the timeframes specified in clause 5.3; or
- If Tixel has been authorised or enabled by the Event Organiser and/or Ticket Provider to deliver the new Ticket to the Buyer, delivery will be undertaken by Tixel.
5.3 To the extent that the Seller is responsible for delivery of the Ticket to the Buyer, the Seller must ensure that the Ticket is delivered to the Buyer within 24 hours of purchase by the Buyer, unless the purchase takes place within 24 hours of the commencement time of the Event, in which case the Seller must deliver the Ticket to the Buyer immediately. If the Seller fails to deliver the Ticket to the Buyer within such timeframes, then the Seller acknowledges that Tixel may cancel the transaction and the Seller may be charged additional fees, lose the right to receive payment for those Tickets, or have their bank account debited by Tixel and/or the payment merchant (including by way of chargeback). For further information relating to any applicable fees and charges, please refer to the following link.
5.4 Following publication of the Listing on the Website, Sellers must review the details of the Listing to ensure that it presents a true and correct description of the Tickets in each Listing, including information such as the Event name, location, ticket type, Event date, section and row (if applicable) and any other relevant information associated with the Ticket, the Event and/or allocated seat for the Event e.g. restricted view, family section, age restrictions, no alcohol permitted, concessions or any other restriction or qualification on the use of those tickets. To the extent that such details change, the Seller is responsible for ensuring that the Listing is updated to reflect such change.
5.5 Tixel may prepopulate some of the required fields when a Seller enters the unique identification information of a Ticket during the Listing process for ease of use, however, the Seller remains responsible for ensuring all details in the Listing comply with the requirements set out in these Terms.
5.6 It is the Seller's responsibility to ensure compliance with any legal restrictions placed on the resale of the Ticket, whether in the Seller's home city, state, territory or country or in any other city, state, territory or country. Tixel is not responsible for Sellers' compliance with any such applicable Laws. If resale of the Ticket is not permitted under the original terms of sale or the terms applicable to such Ticket, then the Seller is prohibited from listing it for sale on the Website. Tixel does not accept any liability for Tickets listed in breach of any terms or conditions applicable to such Tickets and Sellers shall remain solely responsible to the relevant parties (including the Event Organiser, Event promoter, Ticket Provider or Buyer) for any consequences of Listing a Ticket in breach of such terms and conditions.
5.7 Failure to provide full and accurate details (including without limitation seat location details and Ticket restrictions) may lead to Tixel or a Buyer suffering loss or damage and Sellers agree to indemnify and hold harmless Tixel and Buyers from and against all losses, liabilities, damages, fines, expenses and costs arising out of or in connection with a Seller's failure to provide full and accurate details of any Ticket in a Listing.
5.8 Sellers warrant to and for the benefit of Tixel, the following:
- Each Ticket that appears in a Listing is:
- authentic;
- fully transferrable;
- either "on-hand" or already ordered and guaranteed and available for immediate sale at the Sale Price;
- not stolen, counterfeit or in any way containing fraudulent, inaccurate or misleading information;
- not obtained through unauthorised framing of or linking to any website, or unauthorised use of any robot, spider or other automated device or any other illegal or unauthorised activity;
- and not offered for sale in breach of any terms and conditions applicable to that Ticket.
- In offering a Ticket for sale via Tixel Website, Sellers are complying with all applicable Laws which may be applicable to the resale of any Ticket within any relevant territory, state or country; and
- All information Sellers provide to Tixel when applying to become a Seller or at any time thereafter (including Listing a Ticket for sale) is true and accurate in all respects.
5.9 The Seller is responsible for monitoring Ticket inventory and ensuring all Listings are complete and accurate at the time of listing and up to date at all times prior to the Event and are a true, honest and not misleading account of the Ticket. Without limiting any other remedy available to Tixel under these Terms, any fraud on the part of the Seller, failure to fulfil orders (including delivery of the Ticket to the Buyer in accordance with clause 5.3 above) or a breach of these Terms by the Seller may entitle Tixel to undertake or arrange a refund to the Buyer and debit an amount (including any fees associated with such refund) from the Seller's account.
5.10 Each Seller is considered the merchant for their own ticket sales and is liable to pay any local taxes that may applicable.
6. Buyers
6.1 Buyers should carefully read the full Listing details for each Ticket before proceeding to purchase the Ticket, including all applicable details of the Listing and/or Ticket such as those matters specified under clause 5.4 of these Terms.
6.2 Buyers should note that not all Tickets sold in a single Listing may be seated together.
6.3 Buyers click to buy a selected Ticket, enter and/or confirm payment information and confirm the purchase of the Ticket. Upon confirming a purchase, the Buyer is contractually bound to buy the selected Ticket for the Sale Price. The Sale Price includes the fees payable by the Buyer to Tixel for using the Services (refer clause 4.6 in Listings and Ticket prices section).
6.4 Buyers must make full payment for a Ticket via the methods offered by Tixel from time to time in accordance with clause 7 of these Terms. Purchases are not complete until Tixel has confirmed receipt or verification of payment and has conducted fraud checks, as required.
6.5 All payments must be made, and will be processed, in the currency specified in the relevant Listing. Unless otherwise permitted by Tixel, after the Buyer's payment has been processed, the relevant amounts will be released to the Seller the day after completion of the Event.
6.6 Upon receipt of a purchased Ticket, Buyers must inspect the Ticket to ensure that it matches the description in the Listing. If the Ticket does not match the description in the Listing, then the Buyer must notify Tixel in writing as soon as practicable after becoming so aware (unless the Ticket is purchased within 24 hours of the commencement of the Event, in which case the Buyer should immediately notify Tixel in writing upon discovery of the issue), failing which, payment may be released to the Seller.
7. Payments
7.1 Users agree to pay the applicable fees and charges associated with use of the Service, including in relation to the sale and/or purchase of a Ticket.
7.2 For any transaction through the Website, payment will be processed by Tixel's third party payment merchant, Stripe, and will be subject to the terms and conditions published or made available by Stripe from time to time (Stripe Connect Terms and Stripe Services Agreement ). By agreeing to these Terms or continuing to operate as a User on the Website, the User agrees to be bound by the Stripe Terms. Such terms are as between the User and Stripe and do not in any way affect these Terms. The processing of the Ticket funds, including the collection, holding and release of such funds, will be a matter between the User and Stripe.
7.3 As a condition of Tixel enabling payment processing services through Stripe, the User agrees to provide Tixel accurate and complete information to enable such payments to be processed, including, if applicable, details of a bank account maintained in the relevant country specified by the User when setting up their Account. The User authorises Tixel to share with Stripe such information and transaction information related to the User's use of the payment processing services provided by Stripe and the User acknowledges that Stripe may require additional identification from Users before they release funds into that person's bank account.
7.4 After the Buyer's payment has been processed, the relevant amounts will be held by Tixel and will be released to the Seller after completion of the Event unless Tixel has cancelled, or cancels, the transaction under clause 8.3.
8. Changes to or cancellation of Event or Ticket
8.1 If an Event for which Sellers have sold a Ticket via the Website is cancelled, changed or re-scheduled, any amount paid to Tixel by the Seller (i.e. the Seller's fees paid to Tixel for Tixel's Services and deducted from the Listing Price on sale of the Ticket) or by the Buyer (i.e. the portion of the Sale Price paid to Tixel which represents the Buyer's fees for Tixel's Services) is not refundable. To the extent that the Seller has already received proceeds of the Ticket sale via the Website, it is the sole responsibility of the Seller to arrange a refund to the Buyer, including by completing all steps necessary to obtain such refund or amount from the original Event Organiser or Ticket Provider and the Seller indemnifies Tixel for any loss suffered or incurred by Tixel in connection with such early release of the Ticket proceeds to the Seller. In such circumstances Tixel will use reasonable efforts to connect the Seller and the Buyer to enable them to privately arrange the refund. If the Event is cancelled or re-scheduled and the Seller has not received proceeds of the Ticket sale via the Website, then clause 8.3 applies.
8.2 Without limiting Tixel's rights under clause 8.3: (a) if the Seller is notified of any changes to the Event and/or Ticket (including, without limitation, where alternative seats to the original seats are provided or where the Event start time changes) after a Buyer has purchased the applicable Ticket, the Seller must immediately notify Tixel and provide full details of the changes; (b) if the Seller is or ought to be aware of changes to an Event and/or Tickets and does not notify Tixel of those changes, then the Seller may be charged fees and lose the right to receive payment for the Tickets and the Seller indemnifies Tixel for any loss suffered or incurred by Tixel in connection with such change; (c) Tixel will use reasonable efforts to contact the Buyer to advise the Buyer of the changes; and (d) the Seller must cooperate fully with Tixel and the Buyer in respect of any changes to the Event and/or Ticket (including, without limitation, by permitting the Buyer to select any options offered by the Event Organiser or promoter).
8.3 If the Event is cancelled, re-scheduled or there are any substantive changes to the Event and/or Tickets between the time the Buyer purchases the Ticket and the time of the Event, then Tixel reserves the right to cancel the transaction between the Buyer and the Seller at any time before or after the Event was originally due to take place at Tixel's discretion. In such circumstances, any Ticket proceeds that have not been released to the Seller will be refunded to the Buyer , the Seller will not be entitled to receive any payment from Tixel or any Buyer in connection with that cancelled transaction and it will be the Seller's responsibility to contact the Event Organiser to seek a refund or replacement ticket or other remedy in respect of the Event.
8.4 Unless otherwise required by Law, Tixel has no liability to Buyers in respect of changes to an Event and/or Tickets or cancelled Events, including (without limitation) any liability to refund the Sale Price of the applicable Ticket or other fees. In the event that Tixel contacts a Buyer about changes to an Event and/or Tickets or rescheduled Events, then the Buyer must cooperate Tixel and the Seller in respect of those changes or that rescheduling.
8.5 Unless otherwise required by Law or where Tixel has elected to cancel a transaction between Buyer and Seller under clause 8.3, Tixel has no liability to Buyers in respect of changes to an Event and/or Tickets or cancelled Events, including (without limitation) any liability to refund the Sale Price of the applicable Ticket or other fees. In the event that Tixel contacts a Buyer about changes to an Event and/or Tickets or rescheduled Events, then the Buyer must cooperate with Tixel and the Seller in respect of those changes or that rescheduling.
8.6 Nothing in this clause 8 is intended to limit, or limits, any rights Buyers may have under the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (including under the Australian Consumer Law set out in Schedule 2 of that Act) or any other applicable consumer law.

- the Ticket matches the information provided in the Listing;
- the Ticket is valid;
- the Buyer is not permitted entry to the Event on some other basis other than the authenticity or validity of the Ticket;
- the Event to which the Ticket provided entry did not meet the Buyer's expectations;
- the Buyer was subject to an additional fee or charge in relation to the Ticket or the use of the Ticket where the possibility of an additional fee or charge was disclosed in these Terms or the Listing.
9.3 Any dispute raised by the Buyer under these Terms must be raised with Tixel as soon as possible following discovery of the issue by the Buyer, unless the Ticket is purchased within 24 hours of the commencement of the Event, in which case the Buyer should immediately raise a dispute with Tixel upon discovery of the issue.
