Vantage Events Terms of Service

Version date: October 6, 2026. Section 20 explains when this version applies to new and existing agreements.

These Terms govern the websites, application, event pages, registration and ticketing tools, and related services offered by Evan Taylor, a sole proprietor doing business as Vantage Events ("Vantage," "we," "us"). Together, these are the "Services."

Section 21 contains binding arbitration, restrictions on class and representative proceedings, a jury-trial waiver, and a 30-day opt-out right. Read it carefully. These provisions apply only to the extent permitted by applicable law and an enforceable agreement. Valid prior opt-outs remain effective.

1 Agreement and eligibility

These Terms apply when they become part of an agreement between you and Vantage through notice and acceptance sufficient under applicable law. Section 20 governs the transition from an earlier agreement. If you accept for an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind it; references to "you" include that organization where appropriate. If you do not agree, do not complete an action requiring acceptance.

An "Organizer" is a person or organization using the Services to create or manage events. An "Attendee" registers for, purchases a ticket to, or attends an event. "Event Data" includes an organizer's event content, contacts, registration information, attendance, messages, survey responses, and other information submitted or generated for its events.

Organizer account holders must be at least 18 and authorized to act for their organization. Attendee participation depends on the organizer's event rules and applicable law. A parent or guardian must act for a minor where required. The Services are not directed to children under 13. Section 8 addresses organizers' responsibilities for children's information.

Our Privacy Policy explains information practices. It is a notice, not blanket consent to every form of processing. Where separate consent is required, we must obtain it separately.

2 The service and event responsibilities

Vantage provides tools for organizing events, registrations, ticket sales, check-in, communications, forecasts, live rooms, AI assistance, and supported integrations. Available features and limits depend on the selected plan and any applicable written agreement.

Organizers may use the Services for their business and other lawful events. Attendees may use the features made available for their events. Subject to these Terms, we grant the limited right to access and use the Services for those purposes, including supported exports, APIs, and authorized connected-app tools.

An organizer is responsible for its event description, eligibility and admission rules, venue, safety, accessibility obligations, permits, taxes, event performance, and cancellation or refund policy. Vantage supplies the software and does not become the event's organizer merely by hosting a page or processing a registration. An organizer must disclose material event and purchase conditions before an attendee commits to a purchase.

We may improve and change the Services. If a change materially reduces the core functionality of a paid subscription, we will give reasonable advance notice when practicable and provide any remedy required by the applicable agreement or law. Section 19 addresses ending a paid service.

3 Accounts and security

Provide accurate account and billing information and keep it current. Use the service's authorized team roles instead of sharing an individual password. Protect credentials and promptly report suspected unauthorized access to hello@vantageevents.app, with the subject Security.

An organizer is responsible for the users it authorizes, the permissions it grants, and instructions submitted through those permissions. This responsibility does not excuse Vantage's own breach or make you automatically responsible for activity caused by a failure for which Vantage is legally responsible.

We may take proportionate steps to secure an account or investigate suspected misuse, including temporarily limiting access as described in Section 18. Maintain your own copies of information important to your operations and use available export tools.

4 Subscriptions renewal and cancellation

A "Subscription Fee" is the recurring price of the selected plan. Unless an applicable signed order states otherwise, paid subscriptions bill monthly in advance through Stripe and renew automatically until canceled. The checkout discloses the price, billing period and any trial conversion before you authorize recurring payment. You authorize Vantage and Stripe to charge the payment method you provide for the applicable fees and taxes.

You can cancel renewal through the account's billing controls. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period, and paid access continues through that period unless access is separately suspended or terminated under these Terms. Contact hello@vantageevents.app if you cannot use the billing controls.

We may change Subscription Fees and Platform Fees. A price change for a paid tier takes effect no sooner than 30 days after notice to the account email. You may cancel renewal before an increased subscription price takes effect. Applicable sales and similar transaction taxes are additional unless stated otherwise; you are not responsible for taxes on Vantage's net income.

Except where required by law or expressly provided in an applicable signed agreement or Section 16's infringement remedy, Subscription Fees are nonrefundable, including for partial months, unused features or dissatisfaction. Platform Fees on completed ticket transactions are nonrefundable to the organizer. Cancellation does not create a prorated refund.

If a payment fails, we may retry the payment and suspend or terminate the subscription after a reasonable opportunity to cure. You remain responsible for unpaid fees. Section 18 also permits prompt action for fraud, legal obligations or serious security risks.

5 Tickets payments refunds and disputes

The organizer sells the event ticket and is responsible for the event and its disclosed refund policy. Where Vantage's Stripe connection is used, ticket charges are created on the organizer's connected Stripe account. Stripe's processing terms, fees, payout timing, reserves, and dispute procedures also apply. An organizer using an external payment method is responsible for that arrangement.

A "Platform Fee" is Vantage's fee for a ticket transaction, as disclosed for the applicable plan or transaction. Stripe processing fees are separate. Organizers must accurately disclose any fee passed to an attendee before payment. A promotional access upgrade does not change the Platform Fee associated with the tier the organizer pays for, unless the offer expressly says otherwise.

Organizers are responsible for event refunds, chargebacks, dispute fees, and other amounts arising from their ticket transactions to the extent permitted by law and the applicable payment agreement. If Vantage actually pays an amount for which an organizer is responsible, Vantage may seek documented reimbursement. Any debit or offset must be supported by the organizer's authorization, the applicable payment agreement, and law. These Terms do not create a general right for Vantage to take unrelated funds or imply that Vantage holds every organizer payout.

An attendee should contact the organizer first about an event cancellation or ticket refund. Vantage can help identify the organizer or explain platform records. These Terms do not remove an attendee's nonwaivable rights against an organizer, payment provider, or Vantage.

6 Free access trials and beta features

The Free plan does not expire as a trial and does not require a card. It does not automatically convert to a paid subscription. Free access has the published plan limits. Vantage may change those limits or the availability of Free access, subject to applicable law and promotional commitments already granted under Section 23.

A separately elected Pro trial lasts 30 days and requires a valid payment method. Unless canceled before the trial ends, it converts to the Pro subscription and price disclosed when you elect the trial, and the payment method is charged when the trial ends. You may cancel before conversion to continue on Free without the subscription charge. After conversion, cancellation follows Section 4. Your account and data remain available on Free, subject to its limits and these Terms. You may subscribe directly without a trial. One Pro trial is available per account or organization, and Vantage may modify or withdraw trial availability. The referral benefit in Section 23 is separate and does not use this trial entitlement.

Features identified as beta, preview or experimental are provided as is, may be incomplete or unstable, and may change or be withdrawn. Consider their limitations before relying on them for an event. The warranty, liability and third-party-claim provisions apply to beta features to the extent permitted by law.

7 Acceptable use and public content

Use the Services lawfully and within your authorization. Do not:

• Defraud, threaten, unlawfully harass, exploit, or harm another person, including a child.
• Upload unlawful content, infringe intellectual property or privacy rights, impersonate someone, or misrepresent an affiliation or endorsement.
• Send unsolicited or unlawful messages, evade an opt-out, or use deceptive sender information.
• Introduce malicious code, disrupt the Services, bypass access controls or usage limits, or attempt to access another organization's private information.
• Scrape private records or use automation beyond the authorization and limits of the relevant API, connected tool, or written permission.
• Copy or resell Vantage's software or proprietary material without permission, or reverse engineer it except to the extent that applicable law permits despite this restriction.

The Services expressly allow lawful commercial events, ticket sales, and authorized promotional communications. These Terms do not prohibit those ordinary uses or your use of your own content.

You may link to public event pages and use the sharing features we provide. Do not imply Vantage endorses you without written permission or frame the service to mislead users about its source. Do not remove proprietary notices from Vantage material that you copy with permission.

We do not review every submission before publication. We may investigate complaints and restrict specific content or activity where reasonably necessary to address a violation, legal requirement, or safety or security risk. We will provide notice and a reasonable opportunity to respond when doing so would not frustrate the investigation, create risk, or violate law. Any disclosure of account information follows the Privacy Policy and applicable law.

8 Organizer data duties and messaging

An organizer must have the authority and legal basis to supply Event Data and instruct its processing. Provide appropriate privacy notices, collect only information needed for the event, and obtain any required consent for sensitive information, children, communications, recordings, or location collection.

Do not submit full card numbers through ordinary Vantage forms, or use the Services for protected health information or another specially regulated category unless we have expressly agreed in writing to support that use and the legally required arrangements are in place. A written permission alone does not waive legal requirements. An organizer running a youth event must assess the applicable child privacy and consent rules; a general age statement in these Terms is not a substitute.

For email, SMS, and push communications, organizers are responsible for lawful recipient selection, accurate sender identification, required consents and records, required sender or campaign registration, and prompt handling of opt-outs. Applicable rules may include CAN-SPAM, the TCPA, CASL, and relevant carrier or provider requirements. Do not disable or evade the service's suppression controls. A person's registration for an event does not automatically authorize every unrelated marketing message.

Vantage may block or suspend communications that reasonably appear unlawful or abusive. An organizer remains responsible for the content and audiences it selects, subject to Vantage's own obligations for the service it provides.

9 Ownership processing and export of Event Data

As between the organizer and Vantage, the organizer retains its rights in Event Data. Individuals retain their rights under applicable privacy law. You grant Vantage permission to host, copy, transmit, display, and otherwise process Event Data only as needed to provide and secure the Services, carry out authorized instructions, comply with law, and fulfill our agreement. Providers acting for Vantage receive only the permissions needed for their service.

Choosing to publish an event, send a campaign, or share content authorizes disclosure to the selected audience. Private attendee records and unpublished content do not become nonconfidential or available for general reuse merely because they are uploaded. Any use of aggregated or deidentified information for improvement is subject to the Privacy Policy and any executed Data Processing Addendum.

For personal information processed on an organizer's behalf, the organizer acts as controller or business, and Vantage as processor or service provider, as those concepts apply under the relevant law. An executed Data Processing Addendum ("DPA") governs covered processing. Contact hello@vantageevents.app to request a DPA; these Terms do not represent that a particular DPA has already been signed.

You may export Event Data using supported tools during the subscription. For 30 days after termination, the organizer may request a reasonable opportunity to retrieve its Event Data, even if ordinary account access has ended. Security restrictions may require a verified support-assisted export. Exceptions apply where disclosure is prohibited by law or would compromise another person's rights. After that period, we may delete the data under the applicable agreement and retention practices. Required legal records, preservation obligations, and rotating backups may have different retention periods. This is not a promise that every copy is deleted on day 31.

10 AI forecasts and connected services

AI-generated text, images, recommendations, and attendance forecasts may be incomplete or incorrect. Review them before relying on them, communicating them, or publishing them. They are not a guarantee of attendance, revenue, legal compliance, or another result and are not a substitute for professional advice where needed.

Vantage does not use organizer Event Data to train foundation models. Information needed for a requested AI function is sent to the relevant providers as described in the Privacy Policy. Vantage does not claim ownership of your prompts or generated output, subject to any underlying rights and applicable provider terms. Output may not be unique and may require permission or further review before use.

Third-party services such as payment processors, messaging services, social platforms, and connected AI apps have their own terms. You are responsible for authorizing a connection and reviewing its permissions. Within those permissions, an authorized app can request information or take supported actions, including publishing an event. Publishing may trigger existing event automations. Disconnect a service when access is no longer needed; disconnection does not recall information it has already received.

The connected apps notice explains permissions and information flows. Vantage remains responsible for its own service and contractual duties; an integration does not make every failure automatically the user's responsibility.

11 Vantage materials feedback and publicity

Vantage and its licensors retain their rights in the software, design, documentation, and other materials they provide. You may use those materials as reasonably needed for the authorized use of the Services, including permitted printing and downloading. Other trademarks and content belong to their respective owners. These Terms do not claim that a mark is registered.

You may choose to provide feedback. We may use that feedback without payment to improve the Services, but this permission does not include private Event Data or your confidential information.

Vantage may identify an organizer as a customer and use its name and logo in marketing materials, customer lists and case studies, subject to trademark guidelines the organizer supplies. An organizer may opt out in writing by emailing hello@vantageevents.app with the subject Publicity opt-out. This permission does not authorize disclosure of private Event Data or override confidentiality obligations.

12 Confidentiality

Each party will protect the other's nonpublic information that is identified as confidential or reasonably should be understood to be confidential. Use it only to perform the agreement, and disclose it only to people or providers who need it for that purpose and are subject to appropriate confidentiality duties. Apply at least reasonable care.

This obligation does not cover information the receiving party can show was already lawfully known, becomes public without a breach, is independently developed, or is lawfully received without a confidentiality restriction. A legally required disclosure is permitted, with advance notice where lawful and reasonable assistance to limit the disclosure.

These obligations continue for three years after termination; trade secrets remain protected while they qualify as trade secrets. Obligations for personal information continue for as long as required by law or the applicable DPA. A public event page does not make unrelated private Event Data public.

13 Copyright and other rights complaints

To report suspected infringement, email hello@vantageevents.app with the subject Rights complaint. Identify the work or right, the specific material and its location, your contact information, and why you believe the use is unauthorized. Provide only information needed to investigate. We may request additional information, contact the affected user where appropriate, and restrict infringing content or repeat infringers when warranted.

A statutory notice or counter-notice must also satisfy the applicable legal requirements. We may request additional information needed to process it.

14 Representations and warranty limits

An organizer represents that it has authority to enter this agreement; will comply with applicable privacy, messaging, consumer-protection, tax, accessibility and export laws; has sufficient rights in its Event Data and event content; will not infringe others' rights; and has obtained the permissions needed for its events and processing instructions.

Except for express commitments in these Terms or an applicable signed agreement, the Services, including AI features, predictions, content and beta features, are provided as is and as available. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Vantage disclaims express, implied and statutory warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, accuracy, quiet enjoyment and noninfringement.

Vantage does not warrant uninterrupted, timely, secure, error-free or virus-free operation, or the accuracy or reliability of information. Advice or information from Vantage does not create a warranty not expressly stated in the agreement. These disclaimers do not eliminate an express commitment or a right that applicable law does not allow us to exclude.

15 Limits on liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, neither party, and in Vantage's case none of its officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors or service providers, is liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, cover, exemplary or punitive damages, or lost profits, revenue, savings, business opportunities, data or goodwill, or the cost of substitute services, arising from these Terms or the Services. This exclusion applies regardless of legal theory, including negligence, and even if a party was advised of the possibility of those damages.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Vantage's total aggregate liability for all claims arising from these Terms or the Services will not exceed the greater of $100 or the Subscription Fees and Platform Fees the organizer actually paid to Vantage during the 12 months immediately before the event giving rise to the claim. Multiple claims or claimants do not increase that aggregate cap. Organizer ticket proceeds and charges paid solely to an independent provider are not fees paid to Vantage for this calculation.

These limits apply, to the extent permitted by law, to claims involving AI output, access to or loss of data, downtime, maintenance, reliance on information, third-party services, organizer events and related injuries, property damage, cancellations, refunds or attendee disputes, and events beyond reasonable control. They apply even if a limited remedy fails of its essential purpose.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability or a remedy where applicable law prohibits that exclusion or limitation. A different limit in a controlling signed agreement or executed DPA applies within its scope. Properly accrued fees remain payable. Section 16's contractual defense obligations are subject to this section unless a controlling signed agreement provides otherwise.

16 Third party claims

An organizer will defend, indemnify and hold harmless Vantage and its officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors and service providers from third-party claims, proceedings, losses, liabilities, judgments, settlements and reasonable legal costs arising from or relating to the organizer's use of the Services; its Event Data, content or messages; its events, including injury, property damage, ticket or refund disputes; its violation of these Terms, law or third-party rights; its integrations; or its tax obligations, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Vantage will promptly notify the organizer of a claim. The organizer controls the defense and settlement using counsel reasonably acceptable to Vantage. A settlement that imposes a nonmonetary obligation on Vantage or admits Vantage's liability requires Vantage's prior written consent. Vantage may participate at its own expense.

Vantage will defend an organizer against a third-party claim that the Services infringe a United States patent, copyright or trademark, and will pay damages finally awarded or amounts agreed in settlement. This commitment excludes organizer content, Event Data, third-party services, beta features, modifications not made by Vantage and use outside these Terms.

If use is enjoined, Vantage may obtain the right to continue use, modify the affected Services to be noninfringing, or terminate the affected portion and refund its prepaid unused Subscription Fees. This paragraph states Vantage's contractual obligation and the organizer's contractual remedy for an infringement claim, subject to nonwaivable legal rights and any controlling signed agreement.

17 Business plan availability

For Business-plan subscribers, Vantage targets 99.9% monthly availability. Availability excludes scheduled maintenance communicated at least 48 hours in advance, emergency maintenance, events beyond reasonable control, independent third-party outages, internet or network connectivity issues beyond Vantage's control, and organizer misconduct.

Availability credits, if any, are limited to 10% of the affected month's Subscription Fee and must be requested in writing within 30 days of the affected period. Send a request to hello@vantageevents.app and identify the affected period and outage. This is a ceiling on any credit, not a promise of an automatic or fixed 10% credit. Such credits are the organizer's contractual remedy for downtime, to the extent permitted by applicable law. A different signed service-level agreement controls if one applies.

Free, Growth and Pro do not include a service-level agreement. This section does not guarantee availability of an independent payment, messaging or streaming provider.

18 Suspension

We may proportionately restrict content, communications, or account access to address a material breach, unresolved payment failure, credible security or safety risk, or legal requirement. We will provide notice and a reasonable opportunity to cure when practicable. Immediate restrictions may be necessary for serious abuse or an active risk. We will explain the basis and review a reasonable request to correct an error, subject to legal and security limits.

A suspension does not automatically transfer ownership of Event Data to Vantage or remove the export process in Section 9. We may limit an export to protect people, data, or legal obligations.

19 Ending the agreement

You may cancel a subscription under Section 4 and may request account closure. Either party may terminate a subscription at the end of its then-current billing cycle. Vantage may terminate these Terms or an account upon notice for a material breach, including nonpayment after the applicable cure opportunity; a legal or security risk; or a legal requirement. Vantage may also terminate Free accounts, subject to applicable law and benefits already granted under Section 23.

After termination, ordinary access ends and you remain responsible for amounts accrued beforehand. The 30-day Event Data retrieval opportunity in Section 9 remains available despite the end of ordinary account access. Subscription and Platform Fees remain subject to Section 4's refund rules; this section creates no additional convenience-termination or breach-refund entitlement beyond applicable law or an express agreement.

Provisions that need to continue by their nature survive, including accrued payment obligations, Event Data duties and retrieval, confidentiality, intellectual property, warranty and liability limits, applicable third-party claims, payment disputes, dispute resolution and valid arbitration opt-outs.

20 Version date changes and existing agreements

This version is dated October 6, 2026. It applies to a new agreement when notice and acceptance sufficient under applicable law make it part of that agreement. The previous Terms, effective April 18, 2026, remain available for reference.

For an existing agreement, this material revision will not take effect before November 5, 2026, and in any event not before 30 days after we provide the affected customer notice by account email or within the service, together with any acceptance required by applicable law. Until then, the prior agreement continues to govern that customer.

Changes apply prospectively. They do not reduce accrued payment, refund, credit, referral or other rights, alter a prior signed agreement contrary to its terms, revive an expired claim, or revoke a valid arbitration opt-out. A change to arbitration does not govern a claim of which either party had actual notice before the change takes effect for that customer. Any required individual notice of an arbitration change must precede its application.

For later revisions, we will post an updated version and version date and communicate material changes by account email or in-product notice at least 30 days in advance where practicable. We will obtain any acceptance required by law. A legal or urgent security requirement may require a shorter period, but does not retroactively change accrued rights or dispense with required consent. You may cancel renewal before a change takes effect. Any refund remains governed by the agreement then applicable and law.

21 Disputes arbitration and opt-out

Informal resolution

Before filing a claim, the parties will attempt to resolve it through written notice describing the claim and requested relief and good-faith discussions for at least 30 days. Send Vantage a notice at hello@vantageevents.app, subject Legal notice, or by mail to Section 24's address. This process does not bar a timely filing needed to preserve a claim or relief the law does not permit the parties to delay.

Agreement and procedure

Subject to applicable law, the exceptions below and a valid opt-out, disputes arising from these Terms or the Services are to be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and, where applicable, its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The Federal Arbitration Act governs this arbitration agreement. Rules are available from AAA. Questions of formation, scope, enforceability and arbitrability are determined as permitted by applicable law and the enforceable agreement.

There is one arbitrator. The seat is Florida, United States, subject to any different hearing location, remote process or other protection required by applicable law or the applicable AAA rules. Hearings may be remote where permitted. The arbitrator may award remedies available in an individual action under applicable law, subject to enforceable limits, and the award may be entered in a court with jurisdiction. Applicable rules and law govern fees and administration; these Terms do not override mandatory consumer protections.

Individual proceedings and jury waiver

To the extent enforceable, you and Vantage agree to bring disputes only individually and not as a plaintiff or class member in a class, consolidated, coordinated, mass, collective or representative action. The arbitrator may not consolidate or join claims where that restriction is enforceable. If the restriction is unenforceable for a particular claim or remedy, that claim or remedy is severed for court determination while other eligible claims remain in arbitration, unless law requires otherwise. Nothing in this paragraph overrides nonwaivable rights or an applicable AAA procedure that the parties cannot lawfully exclude.

If a claim properly proceeds in court, you and Vantage waive a jury trial only to the extent a knowing and voluntary waiver is enforceable under applicable law.

Exceptions

Either party may bring an individual claim in a small-claims court with jurisdiction. Either may seek injunctive or equitable relief in a court with jurisdiction to prevent actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of intellectual property, trade secrets or confidentiality, or to enforce the messaging requirements in Section 8. Nonwaivable rights to contact regulators or pursue a legally protected remedy remain available.

Right to opt out

You may opt out of this section by sending written notice within 30 days after first accepting an agreement containing this arbitration provision to hello@vantageevents.app, subject Arbitration Opt-Out, or by mail to Section 24's address. Include your name, account email if any, and a statement that you decline arbitration. Opting out does not affect the rest of the agreement. A valid prior opt-out remains effective; this revision does not restart an expired opt-out period for an unchanged arbitration agreement or shorten any unexpired period. Any opt-out opportunity required for a later material arbitration change will be provided with the individual notice of that change.

Filing periods

Applicable statutory limitation periods govern. These Terms impose no shorter contractual filing deadline.

22 Governing law and general provisions

Florida law governs these Terms, subject to the Federal Arbitration Act and any mandatory protections that apply to a user or claim. For a claim that properly proceeds in court, the parties consent to courts in Florida with jurisdiction, except where mandatory law gives a consumer the right to another forum. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

Vantage operates from the United States. You must not use the Services in violation of applicable export controls or sanctions. This clause does not represent that Vantage supports every jurisdiction or eliminate mandatory rights where the Services are supplied.

Neither party is responsible for failure or delay caused by an event beyond its reasonable control, including natural disasters, public-health emergencies, war, civil unrest, government action, labor disputes, utility or internet failures, or failure of third-party services or infrastructure. This does not excuse payment obligations or duties that cannot lawfully be excused.

You may not assign or transfer this agreement without Vantage's prior written consent. An attempted unauthorized transfer is void to the extent permitted by law. Vantage may assign it, including in a merger, acquisition, reorganization or asset sale, subject to applicable law. The agreement binds the parties and their permitted successors and assigns.

The parties are independent contractors. No partnership, agency, employment or fiduciary relationship is created. Vantage's officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors and service providers are intended beneficiaries of the protections applicable to them in Sections 14 through 16. There are no other third-party beneficiaries.

If a provision is unenforceable, the remainder continues to the extent the agreement can operate lawfully and consistently with the parties' essential intent. Failure to enforce a provision once does not waive it later. A waiver must be clear and made by the party giving it.

These Terms, an applicable signed order form or other signed agreement, and an executed DPA form the agreement for the Services. A signed agreement controls conflicting commercial terms; an executed DPA controls conflicting data-protection terms within its scope. Additional feature terms bind you only if presented and accepted as required. The Privacy Policy remains the notice describing our practices and does not override mandatory rights or signed data obligations.

23 Referral and founding cohort benefits

Participation is voluntary. Benefits are promotional, have no cash value, cannot be transferred or sold, and cannot be redeemed for cash except where law requires.

Attribution. A referral is attributed when a new organizer creates an account through your referral link. If multiple links were followed, the most recent qualifying link before signup receives attribution. Vantage may limit a link's validity period. Signup alone does not earn a benefit, and an existing account cannot be referred as a new account.

Invitee benefit. An attributed organizer who verifies their email and creates their first event within 30 days of signup receives 30 days of Pro access at no charge and without a payment method. This is separate from the Pro trial in Section 6 and does not consume it. When the benefit ends, the organizer may continue on Free, separately choose the Pro trial, or subscribe. The benefit does not itself authorize a charge.

Referrer benefit. When an attributed organizer makes their first successful subscription payment, the referrer receives 12 months of access to the tier immediately above their current paid tier, at the price of the current paid tier. There is no deadline for the referred organizer's first payment. Multiple earned benefits extend the duration; they do not stack additional tier increases. If the referrer is on Free, the 12-month period starts when the referrer first subscribes to a paid tier. A referrer already on the highest available tier receives a $1,800 account credit for each qualifying referral, applied to future Subscription Fees.

Independent benefits. The invitee and referrer benefits are earned separately. A referred organizer's first successful subscription payment can earn the referrer benefit even if that organizer has not earned the first-event benefit. Each referral earns the referrer benefit once; later payments by the same organizer do not earn another.

Refunds and misuse. If the qualifying payment is refunded or charged back, Vantage may remove the corresponding unused credit or promotional duration. Disposable email referrals do not qualify. Possible self-referrals or accounts under common control may be reviewed. A shared network address or private email domain alone does not automatically establish abuse. Vantage may deny or revoke a benefit on a reasonable determination of misuse and explain the basis when feasible.

Founding cohort. Vantage may designate a limited number of organizers in each vertical as founding-cohort members. A designated member receives 12 months of access to the next tier at the price of their current paid tier, subject to the same benefit mechanics stated above. Designations and the number available in a vertical are at Vantage's discretion.

Fees and program changes. These benefits change subscription access or credit. Platform Fees continue at the rate for the tier the organizer pays for. Vantage may change or end a program for future participation, but will honor the remaining term of benefits already granted, except for the refund, chargeback, or misuse grounds above.

24 Notices and contact
