This provision creates a distinct refund treatment for Eventbrite's service fees versus organizer ticket revenues, establishing that the platform's fee structure operates on a non-contingent basis regardless of event outcome. The clause clarifies that organizers bear sole responsibility for their own refund policies without obligation tied to Eventbrite's fee retention.
Under this provision, organizers who experience event cancellation, postponement, or non-occurrence remain obligated to pay Eventbrite's service fees even if they elect to refund attendee ticket prices. The terms authorize Eventbrite to retain platform fees while organizers independently determine their ticket refund obligations.
