Aftershock Promotions

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Aftershock Promotions platform (“Platform”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). By creating an account, purchasing a ticket, or otherwise using the Platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Platform.

1. What Aftershock Promotions is

Aftershock Promotions operates a software-as-a-service platform that lets combat-sports promoters list events, sell tickets, collect tickets at the door, and manage rosters. We are a technology marketplace, not the promoter of events listed on the Platform unless explicitly identified as such. Each ticketed event has a promoter (“Promoter”) who is solely responsible for staging, sanctioning, safety, cancellation policy, refunds, and all other aspects of the event.

2. Accounts

You must be at least 18 years old to create a Promoter account.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and for all activity on your account.
We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or that we reasonably believe pose a risk to the Platform, other users, or the public.

3. Ticket purchases

When you purchase a ticket, you are entering a contract with the Promoter, not with Aftershock Promotions. The Promoter sets the ticket price and any taxes or surcharges. Aftershock Promotions charges a flat per-ticket platform fee on top of the ticket price. Payment is processed by Stripe on behalf of the Promoter; funds route directly to the Promoter’s connected Stripe account under our application-fee arrangement.

A ticket is revocable. Admission may be denied or revoked at the Promoter’s or venue’s discretion for safety, sanctioning, or policy reasons (e.g. intoxication, disruptive conduct, inability to verify age). We are not liable for such denial.

4. Refunds, cancellations, and disputes

Event cancellation or postponement is handled by the Promoter. In most cases Promoters will offer refunds for canceled events through the Platform, but any decision to refund, exchange, or credit a ticket rests with the Promoter.
Refund requests should go to the Promoter first. If the Promoter is unreachable or unresponsive, contact us at support@aftershocknetwork.com and we’ll make a reasonable effort to mediate.
Platform fees are refunded in full whenever the underlying ticket is refunded through the Platform.
Chargebacks and card disputes are the financial responsibility of the Promoter. Funds for disputed transactions are pulled back from the Promoter’s connected account.

5. Promoter obligations

If you use the Platform as a Promoter, you represent and agree that:

You are authorized to sell tickets for the events you list and have all required permits, sanctioning, and insurance.
Event listings are accurate, not misleading, and comply with all applicable law, including consumer-protection, anti-discrimination, and combat-sports regulations.
You will set and collect any applicable sales tax on ticket sales. Aftershock Promotions provides a tax line as a convenience tool only and does not determine, file, or remit tax on your behalf. You are solely responsible for tax determination, collection, and remittance to the appropriate authorities.
You will honor tickets you sell and will not knowingly oversell an event beyond the legal capacity of the venue.
You will respond to buyer inquiries and refund requests in a commercially reasonable timeframe.

6. Prohibited uses

You may not use the Platform to:

List illegal events, unsanctioned fights where sanctioning is required, or events that violate applicable laws.
Commit fraud, launder money, or evade tax.
Resell tickets purchased through the Platform above face value where prohibited by law.
Interfere with the Platform’s operation, attempt unauthorized access, scrape data beyond what is publicly provided, or abuse rate limits.
Upload content that infringes on a third party’s intellectual-property, privacy, or publicity rights.

7. Intellectual property

The Platform’s code, design, trademarks, and logos remain the property of Aftershock Promotions and its licensors. Promoter-uploaded content (event descriptions, posters, fighter photos, etc.) remains the property of the Promoter, but by uploading it you grant Aftershock Promotions a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to host, cache, display, and distribute it on the Platform and in related marketing materials for the purpose of running the Platform.

8. Disclaimers

THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE PLATFORM WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE, OR THAT ANY EVENT LISTED WILL OCCUR, OCCUR AS DESCRIBED, OR BE SAFE.

9. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL AFTERSHOCK PROMOTIONS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUES, DATA, OR GOODWILL. OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE TOTAL PLATFORM FEES YOU HAVE PAID TO US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS.

10. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Aftershock Promotions and its officers, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, liabilities, and reasonable attorneys’ fees arising from (a) your violation of these Terms, (b) your misuse of the Platform, (c) any event you promote or attend, or (d) your violation of any third-party right, including intellectual property and privacy rights.

11. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Florida, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

12. Changes

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make a material change, we’ll provide notice by email or through a notice on the Platform at least 14 days before the change takes effect. Your continued use of the Platform after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
