You may use the Site or Services to list, sell or purchase tickets only if you are able to form legally binding contracts, are 18 years old, and are not temporarily or indefinitely suspended from using our Site or Services.
1.2 Fees. Registration and listing tickets on the Site is free, but StubHub may, in its sole discretion, charge selling service, buyer service and delivery or fulfilment fees (collectively referred to as the "Fees"). Fees including any taxes, if applicable, will be disclosed to you prior to the finalisation of your purchase or listing of tickets for sale, or as set forth in the Top Seller Handbook. Unless otherwise stated, all fees are quoted in pounds sterling. You agree that we may issue you with invoices in electronic format by email.
2.1 Seller Responsibilities.
Ticket Information.
In Hand and Expected Delivery Dates. You agree to provide correct and accurate information about the tickets you list on the Site, including whether the tickets are in your physical possession ("In Hand") and, if not in your physical possession ("Not In Hand"), when you will be able to deliver them ("Expected Delivery Date") if they sell. You are responsible for fulfilling the sale of your tickets with the exact tickets you listed on the Site on or before the Expected Delivery Date. If your tickets haven't sold and the Expected Delivery Date changes, you may change the Expected Delivery Date without penalty. If your tickets have sold and you need to modify your Expected Delivery Date, you must do so in the manner and subject to the provisions set forth in section 2.1(b).
Piggyback seats. With the exception of "piggyback" seats (seats that are directly behind one another, are in two consecutive rows and have the same number of seats in each row), you agree and understand that if you are listing more than one ticket for sale, the seats for the tickets you are listing must be together (together means consecutive and adjacent). If you are listing "piggyback" seats, then you are required to tick the box designating the seats as "piggyback" when you list them.
Speculative Tickets. Speculative tickets or "spec tickets" are tickets that are listed for sale or sold before the seller actually owns the tickets. Listing or selling speculative tickets is not permitted. StubHub reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to remove your listing, cancel a sale, require you to deliver your tickets within a specific time after your tickets sell, issue you with a warning or temporarily or permanently suspend you from using StubHub's Site or Services if we suspect you of listing or selling speculative tickets.
Reporting an Issue.
Subject to the exceptions identified in section 2.1(b)(ii), you have forty-eight (48) hours from the time your tickets are sold to "Report an Issue" (i.e. report that you no longer have the exact tickets you listed for sale or you can no longer deliver your tickets on or before the Expected Delivery Date) without a monetary penalty. You can "Report an Issue" by following the "Report an Issue" link in your Sale Notification email or by clicking the "Report an Issue" link on the "Open sales" tab in My Account. If you do not Report an Issue within the time permitted above, you may be subject to being charged a replacement fee, other reasonable charges and/or other consequences, as specified in Section 5 - Consequences. When you Report an Issue, you understand and agree that your modification (including but not limited to, your modification to the Expected Delivery Date) may not be accepted and StubHub may, in its absolute and sole discretion, cancel the sale without further notice to you and not pay you for the sale. If you Report an Issue more than three (3) times within a twelve (12) month period, StubHub reserves the right, in its absolute and sole discretion, to issue you with a warning, or temporarily or permanently suspend you from using StubHub's Site or Services.
If (a) your tickets sell seventy-two (72) hours or less before the event is to take place, (b) you have listed Instant Download tickets or (c) your tickets are to be delivered via the StubHub Last Minute Service Centres (LMS), then you must deliver the exact tickets you listed for sale on or before the Expected Delivery Date without exception. You will not have the option to "Report an Issue". In these cases, it is still your obligation to inform customer service of any issue regarding your tickets by contacting Customer Service immediately. In the circumstances identified in this section 2.1(b)(ii), if you do not deliver the exact tickets you listed for sale or you do not deliver the tickets you sold on or before the Expected Delivery Date, whether or not you reported the issue within 48 hours of the notification of sale, you may be subject to being charged a replacement fee, other reasonable charges and/or other consequences as specified in Section 5 - Consequences.
Event Cancellations. If an event is cancelled, we will cancel the sale and you will not be paid. If you had already been paid for the sale, we will charge your Payment Method for the amount you received for the original sale or cancel pending payments (for other tickets you've sold).
Event Postponement. If an event is postponed or rescheduled, you are not permitted to resell those tickets or in any way invalidate or change a ticket to the postponed or rescheduled event. If you do, StubHub may charge your Payment Method for any costs StubHub incurs and/or you may be subject to other consequences as further specified in Section 5 - Consequences.
Instant Download Tickets. If you make your tickets available to buyers for Instant Download (by uploading them for sale) and then subsequently remove that listing, we are not responsible if you are, for any reason, unable to use your tickets due to technical reasons.
Payments. Sellers will receive their payments as set forth in the Top Seller Handbook. Other sellers will generally be sent their payments five to eight (5 to 8) business days (but it may be longer) following the event date. Payment receipt times will vary depending on the Payment Method.

StubHub is not responsible for any damages or lost profits that result from StubHub users directly contacting other StubHub users or for any damages or lost profits resulting from transactions conducted outside of StubHub, including transactions that originate at StubHub and are taken offline, or transactions facilitated through the use of any StubHub social media outlet or other off Site communication.

4.4 Double Listing and Removal of Tickets. To list a ticket for sale on the Site you must first register with the Site. Once a ticket is listed, we strongly discourage listing that ticket for sale elsewhere. If you do list your ticket for sale elsewhere and the ticket sells elsewhere or otherwise leaves your control after you list it, you must then immediately remove your ticket listing from StubHub. If you choose to list your ticket for Instant Download or with a StubHub Last Minute Service Centre, you agree to list your ticket for sale on the Site exclusively.
4.5 Stolen Property. The sale of stolen property on StubHub is strictly forbidden and illegal. StubHub strongly supports law enforcement efforts to recover stolen property that is listed on the Site, and urges the prosecution of those responsible for knowingly attempting to sell such items on StubHub. Stolen property includes items taken from private individuals, as well as property taken without authorisation from companies or governments.
4.6 Promotional Materials. Buyers' names and addresses may be provided to Sellers for the sole purpose of delivering the specific purchased ticket(s) and may not be used by the Seller for any other purpose, either in connection with such delivery or separately from such delivery. If you are a Seller, you agree not to include in your delivery to the Buyer any promotional or other commercial material that is not provided or approved by StubHub. This includes, without limitation, material that announces a website or invites the Buyer to visit a website other than StubHub, catalogues, business cards, business reply cards, bookmarks, coupons, flyers, solicitations or other marketing or advertising material. You agree not to separately contact the Buyer at any time for any reason or represent to any Buyer that you are affiliated with, or a representative of, StubHub.

You must accurately answer all questions asked during the listing for sale process, including whether the tickets are in your possession (In-Hand Date), and if Not In Hand, when you expect to receive them (Expected Delivery Date). You must not withhold any relevant information, whether or not we request it. Inaccurate presentation of ticket possession status, seat locations, quantity, quality or other information is not allowed.

StubHub makes no warranty with respect to its software, any tickets, any event, the Services StubHub provides, or that Sellers or Buyers will perform as promised, and to the fullest extent permitted by law StubHub expressly disclaims all such warranties, whether express, statutory or implied, including without limitation any warranties of satisfactory quality, title, non-infringement of third-party rights or fitness for purpose. This warranty disclaimer affects your legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Some jurisdictions do not allow exclusions of implied warranties or limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above exclusion may not apply to you.
9.2 Tax and Tax Indemnity. You agree that StubHub is not responsible in any way for the payment of taxes such as VAT, GST, sales, stadium, entertainment, amusement, admission and any other taxes whatsoever, etc. (hereinafter, "Taxes") to any entity on your behalf. You as a seller are responsible for determining whether any Taxes are due on your sale of the ticket, and for collecting such Taxes, which should be included in the price you select for tickets you sell. You shall indemnify and hold StubHub and (if applicable) any parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, agents and employees harmless against all liabilities, costs, interest and expenses (including reasonable attorneys', solicitors', barristers' and other such legal fees) incurred by StubHub that arise out of any third party or governmental claim that involves, relates to or concerns any applicable Tax obligation or amounts due or owing under any Tax regulation, law or statute.
9.3 Change or Suspension of Site. StubHub reserves the right at any time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Site, the Services or any part of the Site or Services with or without notice. You agree that we shall not be liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension or discontinuance of the Site or any Services under this Agreement, for any reason. We do not guarantee continuous, uninterrupted or secure access to our Site or Services, which may be interfered with by numerous factors outside of our control. StubHub is never, for any reason, responsible for tickets listed on the site that do not sell, including tickets that remain unsold during a full or partial Site outage.
9.4 Regular Maintenance. When a Seller lists tickets on StubHub, the listing is generally available for purchase within 15 minutes of posting the listing, but it may take longer than 15 minutes for the listing to appear on the Site after posting. For example, during website maintenance or high website activity, a listing may take longer than 15 minutes to appear on the Site. StubHub is not responsible for unsold tickets resulting from listing delays. StubHub also performs regularly-scheduled maintenance and designs our work to avoid customer impact. During maintenance periods, the Site or our Services may be temporarily unavailable. StubHub is not responsible for unsold tickets resulting from Site or Service maintenance.

9.6 User Tools. StubHub and its related and affiliated companies may, in their discretion, make available additional buyer and seller tools, applications and services, including but not limited to seller listing tools, bulk upload tools, seller inventory management tools and software programs, database services, developer tools, mobile applications and APIs (collectively, referred to as the "User Tools"). To the extent that you use any User Tools, then you agree that:
your use of the User Tools is governed by, and conditional upon your compliance with, the terms of this Agreement;
you will pay all fees and applicable taxes associated with your use of the User Tools, to the extent that any fees and taxes apply;

StubHub is not granting you any rights (including, without limitation, intellectual property rights) by making available to you the User Tools;
StubHub and its related and affiliated companies reserve the right to impose additional or modified terms of use relating to the User Tools, and such terms shall be automatically effective when they are posted on the StubHub Site; and
if you do not agree with any additional or modified terms of use relating to the User Tools, you must terminate your use of those User Tools.
10. Legal Disputes.
If a dispute arises between you and StubHub, we strongly encourage you to first contact Customer Service. We will consider reasonable requests to resolve the dispute through alternative dispute resolution procedures, such as mediation or arbitration, as alternatives to litigation. Any claim, dispute or matter arising under or in connection with this Agreement shall be governed and construed in all respects by the laws of England and Wales. You and StubHub both agree to submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the English Courts.
In simple terms, "non-exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts" means that if you were able to bring a claim arising from or in connection with this Agreement against us in Court, an acceptable court would be a court located in England, but you may also elect to bring a claim in the court of another country instead. English law will apply in all cases.
10.1 Limitation of Liability. You will not hold StubHub responsible for other users' content, actions or inactions, including without limitation the listing and/or selling of tickets in violation of local, national or international laws. StubHub is a marketplace for fans to buy and sell tickets. While we may help facilitate the resolution of disputes through our FanProtectTM Guarantee, we have no control over and do not guarantee the accuracy, quality, safety or legality of items advertised, the truth or accuracy of users' content or listings, the ability of Sellers to sell items, the ability of Buyers to pay for items or that a Buyer or Seller will actually complete a transaction.
Except as set forth in our FanProtectTM Guarantee, we exclude all implied warranties, terms and conditions. We are not liable for any economic loss, loss of profits, goodwill or reputation, or any special, indirect or consequential losses arising, directly or indirectly, out of your use of or your inability to use our Site and Services. Regardless of the previous paragraphs, if we are found to be liable, our liability to you or to any third party is limited to the greater of (a) the total Fees you paid to us in the twelve (12) months prior to the action giving rise to the liability, and (b) £200 GBP.
10.2 Release. StubHub acts as a marketplace only to bring Buyers and Sellers together to list, sell and purchase tickets from one another. Sellers set ticket prices and those prices may be higher or lower than the face value of the tickets. In all cases, selling tickets as well as delivering tickets that are sold are transactions between Buyers and Sellers. The fulfilment of ticket sales, including delivery of tickets, is the responsibility of the Seller. If you have a dispute with one or more registered users, as a Buyer or Seller, you release StubHub and all affiliated companies, officers, directors, agents, parents, subsidiaries, legal representatives and employees from claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with such dispute.
10.3 Indemnity. You agree to indemnify and hold StubHub and (if applicable) any parent, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, solicitors, agents, employees, licensors and suppliers (the "StubHub Indemnitees") harmless against any claim or demand and all liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable solicitors' fees) incurred by StubHub and (if applicable) any StubHub Indemnitee that arise out of any claim asserted by a third party that involves, relates to or concerns any of your actions or omissions on this Site or pertaining to the Services, including but not limited to your breach of this Agreement, your violation of any law or the rights of a third party and/or arising out of User Content you submit, post, transmit, modify or otherwise make available through the StubHub Site or Services.
10.4 Miscellaneous. This Agreement (and all documents incorporated by reference) constitutes the entire agreement between the parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, whether written or oral. No amendment, modification or supplement of any provision of this Agreement will be valid or effective unless made in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable under any circumstances, its application in any other circumstances and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected. StubHub may assign or transfer this Agreement at any time. You may not assign or transfer this Agreement, or any of its rights or obligations, without the prior written consent of StubHub, which we can refuse in our sole discretion. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to confer benefits, rights or remedies unto any person or entity other than the parties hereto and their permitted successors and assigns.

1. Description of Performance, Subject Matter
1.1 The StubHub Site is a marketplace on which event tickets can be listed, sold and purchased by users that have registered a user account as long as their listing, sale or purchase does not violate statutory law, the Agreement or StubHub policies.
1.2 For the handling of the transactions concluded on StubHub, Sellers sell their claims against StubHub buyers who buy tickets from them ("Buyers") to StubHub Services and assign them to StubHub Services ("Claim Purchase") as set out in Clause 3. The payment of the purchase price and the indicated delivery costs by Buyers shall be rendered in such cases to StubHub Services by means of the Payment Methods accepted by StubHub Services. As for the purchase price for the Claim Purchase, StubHub Services will begin the process of paying the gross value of the respective claim sold to StubHub Services to Sellers, less StubHub Fees, (hereinafter: "Net Payment Value") after receipt of the full and timely payment by Buyers and the expiry of five to eight (5 to 8) business days after the Event for which tickets were purchased. Accrual of interest to the benefit of the Seller will not take place. Claims of a Seller due to default of StubHub Services remain unaffected. Details concerning the due date and pay out to Sellers are set out in Clause 5, below.
1.3 StubHub Services offers buyer protection as described in the FanProtectTM Guarantee for all transactions carried out on StubHub for which payment is rendered to StubHub Services, regardless of the Payment Method selected by the Buyer. The FanProtectTM Guarantee applies when a Buyer reports tickets that have not been received in time for the event, tickets that are invalid or tickets that are not the same or better than those ordered, or an event has been cancelled and not rescheduled (hereinafter: "StubHub Guarantee Case"). If StubHub Services decides on a StubHub Guarantee Case in favour of the Buyer, StubHub Services reserves the right not to pay out the Net Payment Value of the claim sold to StubHub Services or to pay only a part of it to the Seller or to assert appropriate opposing rights as set out in Clause 7. The FanProtectTM Guarantee is an essential part of these StubHub Seller Terms.
1.4 Sellers bear sole responsibility for non-delivery, wrong delivery, poor delivery or other defects in connection with performance and delivery of their items to Buyers. They are liable towards Buyers for all defects in accordance with the provisions of statutory law and, if applicable, contractual agreements entered into with Buyers.

Otherwise, StubHub Services will pay out any amount withheld pursuant to Clause 5.3 to the Seller.

Chargebacks initiated by the holder of a payment card (hereinafter: "Account Holder") because of an unauthorised payment (e.g. by the unauthorised use of the Account Holder's account or payment card information)
Chargebacks based on FanProtectTM Guarantee claims within the framework of a buyer protection programme offered by the payment service provider itself.
