Companies change their terms without announcing it. We capture governance documents, compare each new version with the last, and publish what changed, with the source text behind it. One email a week on what we found and what we could not reach.
This page describes what the document states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability may vary by jurisdiction. Methodology
“If there is a dispute between two or more persons or entities regarding account ownership, we will be the sole arbiter of that dispute and our decision (which may include termination or suspension of the account) will be final and binding.”
“Only the appointed arbitrator – and not any court – will have the authority to resolve any dispute relating to this Section, including any dispute regarding the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of these Terms.”
“You have the right to opt out and not be bound by the arbitration or class action waiver provisions set forth above in this Section 9 by sending (from the email address we associate with you as a User) written notice of your decision to opt-out to legal@eventbrite.com . Please include the following in the subject line, "ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER OPT-OUT." The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of your first use of the Services or your agreement to these Terms (whichever is later)”
“When you attend an event hosted by us, you waive any and all claims and causes of action against the Eventbrite Released Parties...for liability, including for personal injury, property damage or wrongful death...”
“you and we each agree to resolve all disputes and claims between you and us...through binding arbitration or (to the extent the claim qualifies) in small claims court, instead of in courts of general jurisdiction.”
“You hereby grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, transferable, sublicensable right and license to access, use, reproduce, transmit, adapt, modify, perform, display, distribute, translate, publish, and create derivative works...”
Eventbrite's Terms set the rules for using its platform to create, manage, or attend events. Any content you submit gives Eventbrite a permanent, worldwide license to use and modify it, and disputes with Eventbrite must go to arbitration rather than court—unless you opt out in writing within 30 days of first use. Attending an event hosted by Eventbrite means giving up the right to sue Eventbrite for injuries, property damage, or wrongful death.
Eventbrite's Terms of Service establish the rights, obligations, and limitations governing use of its platform by organizers, attendees, and other users. The document grants Eventbrite a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable license over all user-submitted content and designates Eventbrite as the sole and final arbiter of any account ownership disputes. Users and Eventbrite are bound to resolve all covered disputes through binding individual arbitration or small claims court, with class actions and representative proceedings prohibited; California law governs exclusively regardless of user location. Attendees at Eventbrite-hosted events waive all claims against the Eventbrite Released Parties—including for personal injury, property damage, and wrongful death—and organizers must indemnify Eventbrite for claims arising from their events, content, and trademarks even where Eventbrite provided services for those events.
For individual users, the most immediate effects are the mandatory arbitration clause, the class-action waiver, and the liability waiver for Eventbrite-hosted events. Users cannot sue Eventbrite in ordinary courts for most disputes and cannot join class actions. Any content submitted to the platform is covered by a license that Eventbrite retains permanently and cannot be revoked. Users who want to preserve their right to litigate in court can opt out of arbitration by sending written notice to legal@eventbrite.com within 30 days of first using the Services or agreeing to the Terms, whichever is later.
