FanXchange Services.

FanXchange is an online venue that allows registered users to purchase tickets made available by other registered users.  FanXchange is not involved in the actual transaction between users selling or purchasing tickets and does not act as agent for or on behalf of users of the Site.
Membership Requirements.

The Services are available only to, and may only be used by individuals who can form legally binding contracts under applicable law.  Our services are not available to persons under the age of eighteen (18) or individuals temporarily or indefinitely suspended from the use of the Site.  If you are under the age of eighteen (18), you may use this Site only in conjunction with, and under the supervision of your parents or guardians.  If you are registering as a business entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind the entity to this Agreement.

All registered users are required to provide their legal name, and their address, phone number, and email address.  Registered users must have a valid credit card that is accepted by FanXchange.  You are solely responsible for all information that you provide to us and for ensuring that all such information is accurate and kept up to date.  The information you provide to us shall not be false, inaccurate or misleading.  Access to the Site is password controlled.  Your password should not be disclosed to any other person.  You are solely responsible for the care and safekeeping of your password and for all activity that transpires under your account.
We may suspend or terminate your account if you are found to have engaged in fraudulent activity in connection with the Site.  FanXchange is not obligated to compensate users in the event a user’s account is suspended or terminated in good faith as a result of an investigation into such users activities in connection with the Site.

Listing and Selling Tickets
Registered users who desire to sell tickets (“Vendors”) may list tickets on the Site for sale.  Tickets listed for sale on the Site shall be listed at a set price.    
Vendors represent that they are legally able to sell the tickets that the Vendor lists for sale on the Site and that the description of the tickets provided by the Vendor accurately describes the tickets offered for sale.  Vendors are responsible for providing accurate information with respect to such tickets, including a description of the event, the date of the event and the location of the tickets.  Further details regarding the ticket selling process are set out under our Frequently Asked Questions.  
A Vendor who agrees to sell tickets to a Purchaser (as defined below) shall provide the Purchaser with the tickets matching the description of such tickets.  A Vendor who is unable to provide tickets matching such description will be charged a replacement fee equal to the cost (including additional service fees, reprinting fees and shipping fees) incurred by FanXchange to provide the Purchaser with comparable or better tickets in accordance with the [FanXchange Guarantee].    The Vendor shall be solely responsible for providing accurate descriptions of the tickets and shall indemnify and hold FanXchange harmless from any and all errors made in describing the tickets.
By selling tickets through this Site, the Vendor authorizes FanXchange to charge the Vendor’s credit card a 10% commission fees, and any charges or expenses arising from the failure of the Vendor to provide to the Purchaser the purchased tickets.
Tickets listed for sale on the Site and information provided by the Vendor shall not: (a) include false, inaccurate or misleading information; (b) be fraudulent or involve the sale of counterfeit or stolen items; or (c) violate any law, statute, ordinance or regulation (including, but not limited to, the selling or re-selling of tickets); (d) be defamatory, trade libelous, unlawfully threatening or unlawfully harassing.  Furthermore, you may not list any item on the Site (or consummate any transaction that was initiated using our Service) that could cause us to violate any applicable law, statute, ordinance or regulation.

As a seller you must send the exact tickets that you listed or better. If you send tickets that aren’t the tickets listed or better, your credit card for the amount of the sale will be charged and your account could possibly be closed. **The decision is ultimately up to FanXchange in regards to the settlement of the issue.

Buying Tickets
Registered users who desire to purchase tickets (“Purchasers”) search the Site for tickets to purchase.  Please note that information listed on a ticket is subject to change.  Purchasers are responsible for confirming the date, time and venue of an event by contacting the appropriate box office or venue.  FanXchange does not guarantee that the description of the tickets provided by the Vendor is accurate. 

A Purchaser may place an “order” to purchase the tickets.  All orders are final and cannot be cancelled or retracted.  FanXchange will obtain authorization from a Purchaser’s credit card for each order placed by a Purchaser.  The amount of authorization obtained by FanXchange equals the price of the ticket(s), a 10% processing fee, and shipping and delivery charges.  If the transaction is not completed, the authorization will not be processed.  FanXchange will not provide the Purchaser’s credit card information to the Vendor.  FanXchange shall not be responsible for bank fees, service charges or any other charges whatsoever resulting from credit card authorization or payment.

By purchasing tickets through this Site, the Purchaser grants FanXchange permission to charge the Purchaser’s credit card for the purchase of ticket(s).

Completing the Transaction
Placing an order does not complete a sale.  FanXchange will notify the Vendor upon obtaining authorization from a Purchaser’s credit card.  A Vendor has forty-eight (48) hours to receive notification of an order and confirm delivery.  The sale is complete only after the Vendor has confirmed delivery and the Purchaser’s credit card has been charged.  FanXchange reserves the right to terminate any transaction it considers to be fraudulent.

A Vendor who is unable to arrange for immediate shipment of the tickets must provide the date the Vendor will ship the tickets to the Purchaser upon confirmation of an order.  It is the Vendor’s responsibility to contact FanXchange in the event the Vendor will not be able to ship the purchased tickets on the date previously provided by the Vendor.  If the Vendor fails to ship the tickets as indicated FanXchange may cancel the order and/or charge the Vendor additional shipping and/or replacement fees.

Information provided to the Vendor for the purpose of shipping the purchased tickets to the Purchaser may not be used by the Vendor for any other purpose.  The delivery of promotional or other commercial materials by the Vendor to the Purchaser is strictly prohibited.  A Vendor may not contact the Purchaser for any purpose other than the delivery of the purchased tickets.

Any dispute between the Purchaser and the Vendor regarding the sale and purchase of the tickets, including whether the purchased tickets correspond to the description provided by the Vendor, shall be resolved pursuant to the FanXchange Dispute Policy.
