When you engage in selling Tickets to us, your contractual relationship is with Seat Split.

3. SEAT SPLIT TRANSFERS

3.1 Seat Split provides a ticketing service that enables users (“Seller”, “you”) to sell Tickets through a process known as a “Seat Split Transfer”. The compensation for sold Tickets (“Payment”) is determined by the sale price of the Tickets (“Market Price”), calculated as [(1 - Commission) * Market Price]. Payments are processed on the first Tuesday following the event date and may take up to three business days to be deposited into the Seller’s bank account.


3.2 To initiate a Seat Split Transfer, the Seller must (i) select “List” and then “Confirm” for an event on their Seat Split dashboard on app.seatsplit.com or through our iOS mobile application, and (ii) transfer the Tickets to Seat Split via email, electronic transfer, or by providing Seat Split with the accurate email address and password for the Seller’s team account. Once initiated, Seat Split assumes ownership and the right to sell the Tickets.


3.3 Following the sale of the Tickets, Seat Split will compensate the Seller in accordance with the agreed terms. Payments will be made through Electronic Bank Transfer (ACH). By registering an account to receive payments through our application, you expressly authorize our service provider, Dwolla, Inc., to initiate credit transfers to your financial institution account. You must be at least 13 years old to receive funds, and if under 18, parental permission is required. You consent to our collection and sharing of your personal information with Dwolla, including your full name, email address, and financial information. You are responsible for the accuracy of this data. Dwolla’s Privacy Policy is available [here].

3.5 Seat Split is not liable for any consequences arising from the Seller’s failure to adhere to any applicable Restrictions.


3.6 By agreeing to sell a Ticket to Seat Split, the Seller enters into a binding agreement to transfer that specific Ticket to Seat Split.

3.7 If the Seller requests the return of transferred Tickets and Seat Split has not yet sold or committed to sell the Tickets, Seat Split will return the Tickets to the Seller within one (1) business day of receiving such request. If the Tickets have already been sold, Seat Split will make a reasonable effort to find comparable seats at a similar price and offer them to the Seller if successful.
