Event Participant Terms of Use

Last Updated: June 18th, 2021

Welcome to Zoom Video Communications, Inc.’s (“Zoom”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) OnZoom and Zoom Events.

These Event Participant Terms of Use (“Terms”) set out the terms and conditions that apply to Zoom users that register for, participate in, or attend an Event (defined below) through OnZoom (onzoom.com) or Zoom Events (collectively, the “Events Platform”). By accessing or using the Events Platform to attend or participate in Events, you agree to be bound by these Terms, and the Zoom Terms of Service (including, without limitation, its provisions regarding export restrictions, governing law, dispute resolution and arbitration) unless you and Zoom have entered into a mutually- executed written services agreement (e.g., a Master Subscription Agreement) (“Service Agreement”) in which case such Service Agreement will apply. The Zoom Acceptable Use Guidelines, Zoom Events Privacy Statement, and other rules and policies set forth on or applicable to the Events Platform also apply to your use of the Events Platform and are hereby incorporated by reference. The Events Platform is part of the Zoom “Services” as defined in the Zoom Terms of Service and Service Agreement.

In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between these Terms and any other terms or agreements between you and Zoom, these Terms shall control with respect to your participation in or attendance of Events through the Events Platform. To the extent (but only to the extent) any agreement you may have with Zoom regarding hosting or creating events on the Events Platform conflicts with these Terms, those agreements (and not these Terms) will prevail. For clarity, these Terms do not apply to Zoom meetings or webinars that are not created, organized, hosted, posted, or managed using the Events Platform.

If you are a consumer based within the European Economic Area, Switzerland, or the United Kingdom, additional terms apply to your use of the Events Platform (see Section 15 below).

Access and Scope of Services
1. Event Services. The Events Platform allows for event hosts (“Event Hosts”) to create, organize, host, promote, manage, and list online events, performances, gatherings, or similar functions, or a series thereof on the Events Platform (“Event” or “Events”) for Event attendees, panellists, sponsors, and alternative hosts (collectively “Event Participants”) to purchase or receive tickets to and attend such Events, and for Event Hosts and Event Participants to interact on or through the Events Platform. Event Hosts, Event Participants, and other users of the Events Platform may each be referred to individually in these Terms as a “User” and collectively as “Users.”
2. Access and Eligibility. To access the Events Platform you must have a Zoom account in good standing. The Events Platform (and certain features thereof) is not available in all countries and Zoom reserves the right to restrict access based on region. OnZoom is currently in Beta and is only available to United States residents. To host Events on the Events Platform, separate terms apply.
3. No Guarantee of Availability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other agreement between you and Zoom, Zoom does not guarantee or warrant the uninterrupted availability or accessibility of the Events Platform. Zoom may restrict the availability of all or part of the Events Platform or certain features thereof without notice at any time and for any reason, including to protect the security or integrity of the Events Platform, our servers, or to carry out maintenance for the Events Platform. Zoom may discontinue the Events Platform or any portion or feature thereof or modify the features of the Events Platform from time to time without prior notice.
4. Third-Party Links. The Events Platform may contain links to third-party websites or resources (“Third-Party Services”). Such Third-Party Services may be subject to different terms and conditions and privacy practices. Zoom is not responsible or liable for the availability or accuracy of such Third-Party Services, the content, products, or services available from such Third-Party Services, or their privacy practices. Links to such Third-Party Services are not an endorsement by Zoom of such Third-Party Services and use of such Third-Party Services is at your own risk.
5. Your responsibility for Bystanders. Before using the Events Platform, you are responsible for telling anyone within range of your device’s camera or microphone, including members of your household and guests, that they may be seen and heard by Users and others at their location. If you permit anyone to be within range of your device’s camera or microphone during an Event, you consent on their behalf, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to these Terms and the Zoom Events Privacy Statement.
6. Modification of Terms. Zoom may modify these Terms at any time. When we make changes to these Terms, we will post the revised Terms on the Events Platform and update the “Last Updated” date at the top of these Terms. We will also provide you with notice of the proposed changes by email at least thirty (30) days before the date they become effective. If you disagree with the revised Terms, you may terminate these Terms as provided herein. Any continued access to or use of the Events Platform after the date the revised Terms become effective will constitute your acceptance of the revised Terms.
User Content
1. User Content. All content, such as information, data, images, video, audio, material, and/or graphics, set forth on or distributed through the Events Platform by a User, including Event listings and live Events, is known as “User Content.” You are solely responsible for your User Content and you represent and warrant that your User Content complies with all laws pertaining to your User Content. You agree that any User Content that violates the Zoom Acceptable Use Guidelines, the Zoom Terms of Use or Service Agreement, or these Terms, is a breach of these Terms.
2. License. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other agreement between you and Zoom, by creating, uploading, posting, sending, receiving, storing, or otherwise making available any User Content on or through the Events Platform, you grant to Zoom a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, and irrevocable license to access, moderate, remove, edit, analyze, store, copy, reproduce, distribute, publish, transmit, stream, broadcast, and otherwise use such User Content to provide the Events Platform in a manner consistent with these Terms and the Zoom Events Privacy Statement. If you agree to be recorded in connection with an Event, you further agree that Zoom may display this recording on or through the Events Platform at the Event Host’s direction, including for commercial, promotional, and other legitimate purposes.
3. Reporting User Content. You acknowledge that the Events Platform features enable Users to report inappropriate behaviour during Events to Zoom’s Trust & Safety team for review, and that such features enable Users to take screenshots of any activity they can see during Events and submit them to Zoom. Zoom reserves the right, but not the obligation, to monitor and review Event listings, Event reviews and other User Content, as well as any User reports of inappropriate behaviour during Events, to ensure compliance with these Terms, the law, and to protect against harm to the safety, rights or property of Users, Zoom, or others.If you become aware of any User Content that breaches these Terms or applicable law, please contact us using the link on the applicable Event listing, providing your full name and address, along with details of: (1) the date and time the content was posted; (2) where it can be found on the Event Platform; (3) the username of the person who posted it; (4) reasons why the content should be deleted, along with evidence for this; and (5) copies of any communication with the person who posted it (if any).
4. Investigations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other agreement between you and Zoom, Zoom further reserves the right to disclose any such User Content and other information to law enforcement or other governmental agencies as we believe reasonably necessary. Users also agree to provide Zoom with such cooperation and information and take such actions Zoom may reasonably request relating to any investigation undertaken by Zoom or its representatives regarding the use of the Events Platform or compliance with these Terms.
Use of the Events Platform
1. Event. Event Hosts are solely responsible for their Events and Event listings, including providing customer support for their Events. This includes, but is not limited to, providing complete and accurate information about the Event and disclosing any restrictions and requirements that may apply (such as proficiency, equipment, fitness requirements, etc.). You acknowledge and agree that Zoom is not obliged to mediate any disputes between you and any other User.
2. Event Tickets. When Users offer, sell, or buy tickets to an Event, including free tickets, they may be entering into a contract directly with each other. Zoom is not and does not become a party to or participant in any contractual relationship between Users, and Zoom is not acting as an agent for any User. Each Event ticket is a unique link that provides access to an Event for one User (“Ticket Link”). You may obtain tickets on behalf of others and share the Ticket Link with them, but to use the Ticket Link they must meet the requirements of Section 1.2 (Access and Eligibility). You are solely responsible for sharing or not sharing any such Ticket Links and acknowledge that neither Zoom nor the Event Host shall be liable for the use of a Ticket Link that you have shared. There may be laws applicable to the issuing or sale of tickets in a User’s jurisdiction, including laws to limit scalping and other forms of secondary ticket sales. Users are responsible for compliance with any such laws, and Zoom will have no liability for any loss suffered by any person arising from the application of such laws to any Event tickets.
3. Compliance with Laws and Regulations: Your use of the Events Platform must be in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
4. Prohibited Uses. In connection with your use of the Events Platform, you will not and will not assist or enable others to:
  1. breach or circumvent any applicable laws or regulations, agreements with third-parties, third-party rights, these Terms, the Zoom Acceptable Use Guidelines, the Zoom Terms of Service or Service Agreement, or other applicable policies or rules;
  2. promote or further any criminal activity or provide instructional information about illegal activities;
  3. use the Events Platform in a way that is deceptive, fraudulent, false, or misleading;
  4. copy, retain, or otherwise access or use any information, including personal data about any other User in any way that is inconsistent with these Terms or your own applicable privacy policies or that otherwise violates the privacy rights of Users or third parties, or applicable law;
  5. infringe, disparage, dilute, tarnish or otherwise harm Zoom or any Zoom brand in any way;
  6. act in a way that adversely affects, or could adversely affect the performance, security, or proper functioning of the Events Platform;
  7. scrape, crawl, or use other automated or manual means or processes to access or collect data or other content from the Events Platform;
  8. rent, lease, resell, distribute, or use the Events Platform for commercial purposes not allowed by these Terms, or otherwise exploit the Events Platform in any unauthorized manner;
  9. infringe any third-party intellectual property rights or enable such infringement using the Events Platform;
  10. use the Events Platform in a way that, in Zoom’s sole discretion, is objectionable, restricts or inhibits any other person from using or enjoying the Events Platform, or may expose Zoom or any Users to harm or liability of any type.
5. Ticket Cancellation. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and without limiting any other rights of Zoom herein, including the right to terminate or cancel any Event (including as the Event is occurring), Zoom may cancel tickets (including purchased tickets) or registrations if Zoom finds, in its sole discretion (1) that the Event Participant is in violation of applicable law, these Terms, the Zoom Terms of Service or Service Agreement, or Zoom’s policies or rules applicable to the Events Platform, (2) that Event Participant’s attendance may be harmful or objectionable to Zoom, its Users, or third parties, or (3) to comply with a court order.
6. Beta Features. Zoom may, from time to time, offer access to features or portions of the Events Platform that are classified as beta features. OnZoom is currently in beta. Access to and use of beta features may be subject to additional agreements. Zoom makes no representations that a beta feature or product will ever be made generally available and reserves the right to discontinue or modify a beta feature at any time without notice. Beta features and products are provided AS IS, may contain bugs, errors or other defects, and your use of a beta feature is at your sole risk.
Payment Terms, Fees and Taxes
1. Third-Party Payment Processing and Fees. Payment processing for the Events Platform, including for transactions between Event Hosts and ticket purchasers and collecting donations, will be performed by one or more third-party payment processors. Your use of a payment processor will be subject to additional terms and conditions between you and the payment processor, which may include transaction fees. Zoom is not responsible or liable for a payment processor’s performance or any actions taken by a payment processor including without limitation, declining your transaction, holding your funds, or requesting additional information from you. Zoom merely facilitates such transactions by collecting information from Users necessary to enable the payment processing and submitting it to the applicable payment processor.
2. Taxes. Zoom will add to the ticket price any required transaction-based taxes or fees that are required to be collected from the ticket purchaser and remitted to any taxing or regulatory authorities, consistent with applicable law.
Refunds and Cancellations
Because all transactions (including those processed by a third-party payment processor) are between you and the Event Host, Zoom is not responsible or liable for providing refunds for purchased tickets. Applicable cancellation and refund policies are set by the Event Host and posted on the Event listing. If you validly cancel a purchased ticket or registration that allows for refunds, or if an Event Host cancels an Event, you will receive a refund of the ticket price automatically. Unless otherwise agreed to by the Event Host or required by applicable law, Event Hosts are not required to honor any other form of cancellation or refund request (such as those outside the posted refund policy). You may also seek a refund as allowed under a third-party payment processor’s terms and conditions. Refunds will be made to the original means of payment used for the initial transaction. The timing for any refund or reimbursement or for any pre-authorization to be released will vary based on the payment method used and any applicable payment system (e.g., Visa, MasterCard, etc.) or third-party payment processor rules.
Ratings and Reviews
1. Ratings and Reviews. Event Participants may be able to submit a star rating (“Rating”) and/or write a review (“Review”) of Events they attend. Ratings and Reviews are User Content and reflect the opinions of individual Event Participants and do not reflect the opinion of Zoom. Ratings and Reviews are not verified by Zoom for accuracy and may be incorrect or misleading.
2. Guidelines for Ratings and Reviews. Ratings and Reviews must be truthful and accurate and you may not manipulate the Ratings and Review system, including, but not limited to, by: (1) offering or accepting a monetary or other reward for submitting a Rating or Review; (2) submitting a Rating or Review for your own Event; (3) submitting an inaccurate Rating or Review for a competitor’s Event; or (4) instructing or requesting another User to submit a positive or negative Rating or Review about an Event Host or Event.
3. Zoom Use of Ratings and Reviews. Ratings and Reviews may be displayed on the Events Platform in Zoom’s sole discretion.
Copyright and Trademark Infringement
If you are a copyright or trademark owner or an agent of a copyright or trademark owner and you believe that any content on the Events Platform infringes your copyright, you may submit a notice to Zoom using the “Report this listing” button at the bottom of an Event listing or by following the directions provided in Zoom’s Copyright (DMCA) and Trademark Takedowns page.
Feedback

Any Feedback you provide will be considered non-confidential and you hereby grant to Zoom a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, fully paid-up, worldwide, non-exclusive license to use and/or incorporate such Feedback into any Zoom product or service (including the Events Platform) at any time.
