Last Updated: October 23, 2023
Thank you for selecting The Key West Snappers ("The Snappers") as a facilitator for your purchase of a luxury suite(s) and/or the individual ticket(s) in a luxury suite(s) and/or other tickets, parking passes, or other event access credentials (collectively, the "Tickets"). We hope that you enjoy your experience with us. By using and seeking to purchase Tickets on Snappers' website (the "Website"), or by otherwise using any of Snappers' services to purchase Tickets, you agree to the terms and conditions contained in this agreement which incorporates, by reference, our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy (collectively, the "Agreement"). Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
- Website. The Website provides you with the service and convenience of locating Tickets that were posted for your purchase by the seller of such Tickets, by the seller's representative, or by the seller's facilitator for the sale of the Tickets (collectively, the "Owner"). The Owner has posted on the Website relevant information regarding the Tickets, which may include the event(s) for which the Tickets are listed, the date and location of the event(s), the price at which the Tickets are listed, which is in U.S. dollars, and which may be substantially higher than the face value price printed on the Ticket(s) (the "Listing Price"), the number of ticket(s) within the suite, standing room only ticket ("SRO") pricing, catering inclusions, and any other information that the Owner may deem relevant (collectively, the "Listing"). Photographs displayed on the Website are for illustrative purposes only and may not show the actual suite, including layout and configuration, that you are booking. The Owner has made the Tickets available for purchase by way of two options, (i) "Instant Book" or by (ii) "Request to Book." Each option is described in Section 2 below.
- Purchasing Options.
- Instant Book. If the Owner lists the Tickets as Instant Book on the Website, then the Owner is proposing, but not necessarily committing, to sell the Tickets on the terms described in the Listing. By selecting to purchase Tickets that are listed as Instant Book, you agree to purchase the Tickets on the terms described in the Listing; in other words, you are making a binding commitment to purchase the Tickets on the terms described in the Listing. After you place your order for Tickets that are listed as an Instant Booking, The Snappers will contact the Owner to confirm and finalize the Owner's sale of the Tickets. The Snappers may, upon the Owner's request, provide to the Owner any information about you that you provided to The Snappers or that The Snappers may obtain from third parties, including information necessary to verify your identity or to assess fraud ("Your Information"). If, for any reason, the sale is not confirmed and finalized, The Snappers will promptly so inform you, and you will be given the option of (i) receiving a prompt refund for the full value of your purchase, or (ii) selecting other Tickets of equal or lesser value for the same event as your initial purchase, or an alternative event, subject to availability. You agree that The Snappers makes no representation or warranty regarding the availability of Tickets listed as an Instant Booking until The Snappers notifies you that the Owner's sale is confirmed and finalized. You agree to indemnify and hold the The Snappers Group (as defined herein) harmless from any and all Claims (as defined herein) that in any manner relate to or are based upon or arise from the failure to confirm and finalize the sale of Tickets listed as an Instant Booking after you have placed your order.
- Request to Book. If an Owner lists the Tickets as Request to Book on the Website, then the Owner has indicated that it will entertain an offer from you to purchase the Tickets on the terms described in the Listing. After you submit your request to purchase Tickets listed as a Request to Book, The Snappers will contact the Owner to ascertain the availability of the Tickets. The Snappers may, upon the Owner's request, provide the Owner with Your Information. After The Snappers confirms the availability of the Tickets with the Owner, then The Snappers will email you a link to pay for the Tickets by credit card, unless you inform The Snappers that you elect to effectuate your payment for the Tickets by another method. After you submit your payment for the Tickets to The Snappers, The Snappers will contact the Owner to confirm and finalize the Owner's sale of the Tickets. If, for any reason, the sale is not confirmed and finalized, The Snappers will promptly so inform you, and you will be given the option of (i) receiving a prompt refund for the full value of your purchase, or (ii) selecting other Tickets of equal or lesser value for the same event as your initial purchase, subject to availability. You agree that The Snappers makes no representation or warranty regarding the availability of Tickets listed as a Request to Book until The Snappers notifies you that the Owner's sale is confirmed and finalized. You agree to indemnify and hold the The Snappers Group (as defined herein) harmless from any and all Claims (as defined herein) that in any manner relate to or are based upon or arise from the failure to confirm and finalize the sale of Tickets listed as a Request to Book after you have submitted your request for purchase.
