What it is

The agreement authorizes Ticketmaster to terminate or suspend accounts at any time for any reason, cancel existing orders and tickets, and deny future access, and specifies that users may not receive refunds for fees related to tickets canceled due to code of conduct violations.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision establishes that account termination for code of conduct violations may result in ticket cancellation without refund, and that Ticketmaster may take enforcement action against accounts it believes are associated with a violating user even without confirmed identity of that user. The broad 'for any reason' termination right, combined with the no-refund consequence for conduct violations, creates material financial exposure for consumers whose accounts are terminated.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Under this clause, Ticketmaster may cancel a consumer's tickets and deny a refund if the account is terminated for code of conduct reasons, and may also cancel tickets associated with third parties believed to be acting in concert with the violating user. The agreement also authorizes permanent re-registration bans by name and email address.
