Event Registrations, Purchases and Fees
SS provides the capability for Event Directors to facilitate registration and payment for events, products or services, including donations or other fundraising, but SS is not the organizer or owner of the events themselves. The Event Director is solely responsible for all aspects of the event including ensuring the accuracy and completeness of all information posted about the event and ensuring the event is conducting in a manner that meets all applicable laws, rules and regulations.
If you wish to make a purchase or register for an event through the SS Sites, you will be required to provide certain information, including credit card information, in order to complete the transaction. You agree to pay all charges and fees incurred by you, including any applicable taxes, processing or other fees. You represent and warrant that all information you provide will be accurate and you consent to SS providing such information to Event Directors and other third parties in order to facilitate the transaction. Event Directors may charge a non-refundable processing or service fee, which is either passed along to the athlete or included in the registration price and paid by the Event Director out of the registration proceeds. The processing fees paid by Athletes are not always the same as those charged by SS for use of the SS registration platform. Athletes may also be charged additional fees including facility, use, service, fulfillment or other fees as set by the Event Director. Please note that certain fees may be charged by your bank or credit card company including fees for purchasing event registrations or products or services in foreign currencies or from foreign Event Directors. SS recommends consulting with the appropriate financial institutions prior to consummating a transaction to understand all applicable fees, credit card charges and currency conversion rates (if applicable).
SS is not a party to and makes no representations or warranties with regard to any events, products or services sold by Event Directors or other third-parties through the SS Sites. SS will not be responsible for any costs or damages arising out of any interaction or transaction between the Event Director and the Athlete. SS is not responsible for vetting any Event Directors or their events, products or services and assumes no liability for any actions, inactions, or other activities of Event Directors or their employees, affiliates, contractors or related parties. Event Directors may impose additional terms and conditions with respect to their events, products and services.
Refunds and Event Cancellation
Event Directors are responsible for posting the applicable cancellation, refund, return and exchange policies for each of their events, products or services sold through the SS Sites. You understand and agree that Event Directors often reserve the right to cancel events for a variety of reasons including but to limited to poor weather conditions, acts or war, terrorism, riots or other reasons that would impact the safety or security of the participants and spectators. All event policies and rules are at the discretion of the Event Director and SS is not responsible in any way for such policies or rules.
If you need to request a refund or have any issues with respect to a purchase, please contact the Event Director for processing as the SS Sites only facilitate the transaction between the Athlete and the Event Director. SS shall have no liability to the Athlete or the Event Director for its actions or inactions in resolving or failing to resolve any disputes.
