1.2 Charges paid in advance by The Client for Your Box Office services are valid for the period of one year from the date when the payment is received. Any performance published on the site within that year will remain live until that performance has taken place provided the final performance takes place WITHIN SIX MONTHS of the Clients year end date. Any performance taking place AFTER 6 months beyond the Clients year end date risks deletion unless a new year’s subscription has been placed.
1.3 The Client can promote multiple performances throughout the year up to their pre-selected limit. This limit is set at the point of payment by the Client. Promotion of performances after the pre-selected limit is reached will require a further payment to be made.

2.1 The Supplier will use best endeavours to provide facilities to allow the Client to offer credit/debit card sales on the Website, subject to payment of the appropriate charge (as listed on the Website and  being subject to occasional review by the Supplier) being received in full by the Supplier.



3 Duties of the Client 
3.1 The Client must act in good faith towards the Supplier. 
3.2 The Client must provide the Supplier with the information relating to the Performance necessary for the provision of his duties under this agreement. 
3.3 The Client must inform the Supplier immediately in the event of a cancellation or delay of a Performance. 
3.4  It is the responsibility of the Client to ensure that all details relating to the Performance, the price of the Tickets and its own contact details which are inputted on to the Website or otherwise provided to the Supplier are correct and up to date. The Supplier cannot accept any responsibility for any losses arising out of the inputting of incorrect or inaccurate data. 
3.5 Save for Tickets sold after the Lock Down of the Website the Client will register all Ticket sales through the Website. It should be noted that the general public can access the Website and purchase Tickets at any time  and therefore any Ticket sales made directly by the Client should only be made by first checking the availability of Tickets on the Website. 
3.6 The Client hereby accepts all orders for the sale of Tickets processed by the Supplier (up to the maximum number specified by the Client) and (unless the ‘e-ticket‘ option has been chosen) will supply to the customers the physical tickets for entry into the Performance.
3.7 The Client shall ensure that the Performance and the information inputted onto the Website by the Client does not contain any matter which is illegal or prohibited. The following is a partial list of the kind of content which is prohibited on the Website. Content which:

• is patently offensive, such as content that promotes racism, bigotry, hatred or physical harm of any kind against any group or individual or which could be harmful to minors;
• harasses or advocates harassment of another person;
• promotes information that is known to be false, misleading or promotes illegal activities or conduct that is abusive, threatening, obscene, defamatory or libellous;
• promotes an illegal or unauthorized copy of another person's copyrighted work;
• displays pornographic or sexually explicit material of any kind.

3.8   The Supplier will issue by email a confirmation to the purchaser of the Tickets of each transaction. However, the Client is advised that an invoice should ideally be issued to each customer in respect of each transaction which the Supplier conducts on its behalf.

This booking charge is payable by the purchaser of the Tickets on their Credit/debit Card and is therefore received in full by the Client and not the Supplier. It is the responsibility of the Client to pay transaction charges per ticket to the issuing bank. The Supplier accepts no liability for the scale of these charges and notes that the Client should ensure that the booking fee per ticket is sufficient to cover the transaction charges. The Supplier’s Website will record the sale of the Tickets and the Client can access the Website at any time and view the status of the Ticket sales.

In no circumstances will the Supplier have any liability in respect of any lost or stolen Tickets or any failure of electronic communications.
     (b) If the ‘e ticket’ option is chosen then the Supplier will send an electronic ticket by way of email directly to the customer to the email address supplied by the customer and will also provide to the Client by way of download report a list of all Tickets sold.
