Terms of Service
Last updated on Jan 1, 2022
These terms of service (“Conditions”) form part of your agreement with HexaFair, subsequently referred to as “HEXAFAIR”, “we”, “us” or “our” in the document.
In these terms we used the definition “Host” & “Organizer”. These are the companies, businesses, individuals and organisations who use HEXAFAIR as a platform to organise and host their online events, meetings or any other form of audio-video interaction, subsequently referred as “Event” or “Events” or “Exhibitions” or “Trade shows” or “Fairs”.
1. Users of HEXAFAIR
There are three different types of HEXAFAIR users which these terms apply to:
“Organizers”. If you are an Organizer, you are an individual, normally an employee, contractor or partner of a Host who are part of the team which helps the Host to manage, run and host Events and/or manage, maintain and transact for the business operation of Host. Organizers have special access privileges and are invited to access and use HEXAFAIR by a Host.
“Participants”. You are a Participant if you attend an Event on HEXAFAIR. Participants are either invited to a specific Event by a Host or have signed up for a HEXAFAIR account and attend an event using their account details. Participants also include Participants that have been invited by the Host to speak at an Event, exhibit at an Event, or be Event sponsors.
In these terms, unless specified otherwise you are a “User” or “HEXAFAIR User”.
1.1. Our role
Events are organized and administered by the Host, not us. We are a third party providing the platform for an Event to take place. We are not responsible and cannot be held liable:
- if an Event is cancelled for any reason by the Host;
- for how an Event is run;
- for any content produced or activities carried out during an Event;
- for the conduct or Contributions (as defined below) of any other Users.
1.2. HEXAFAIR Account and Channels
If you create a HEXAFAIR account, you are responsible for maintaining the security of your account, and you are fully responsible for all activities that occur under the account and any other actions taken in connection with the HEXAFAIR Services. If you create a channel on HEXAFAIR or stream using HEXAFAIR on any external channel, you are responsible for all activities that occur on your channel. If you host anevent on HEXAFAIR, you are responsible for all activities that occur in the event.
You must not describe or assign keywords to your channel or webinar or event in a misleading or unlawful manner, including in a manner intended to trade on the name or reputation of others, and HEXAFAIR may change or remove any description or keyword that it considers inappropriate or unlawful, or otherwise likely to cause HEXAFAIR liability.
You must immediately notify HEXAFAIR of any unauthorized uses of your account, channel, webinar or any other breaches of security. HEXAFAIR will not be liable for any acts or omissions by you, including any damages of any kind incurred as a result of such acts or omissions.
1.3. The Host’s responsibilities to you
The Host has full control over the running of any Event. This includes control over any Users, when Events are created and how they are configured, and what functionality and third-party integrations are activated for use at each Event.
The Host may prohibit or withdraw access to Events and/or HEXAFAIR to any User at any time.
The Host may take additional requisite permissions from participants on their Terms of Use for smooth conduct of the event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the host’s Terms of Use or in some particular section/link in the host’s Terms of Use, all sections of this document, HEXAFAIR Terms of Service, will remain valid, accepted, and will take precedence.
It is solely the Host’s responsibility to:
- inform you of any relevant policies and practices of the Host that apply to your use of HEXAFAIR outside of these User Terms;
- inform you of any relevant policies and practices of the Host that apply to your use of HEXAFAIR outside of these User Terms;
- respond to and resolve any dispute between the Host and you, or between you and any other User.
1.4. Complaints, issues and refunds
If any of the matters listed have caused an issue for you, or you have paid for a ticket to an Event and would like to discuss a refund, you should contact the Host, whose responsibility it is to deal with the matter.
Our only responsibility is to provide the technical facility for the Event to run. If you are experiencing technical issues with HEXAFAIR, you can contact us and we will try to resolve the same.
HEXAFAIR does not guarantee the quality, safety, legality or truth of any representations made by a due-collecting (paid) channel or ticketed (paid) event. HEXAFAIR disclaims any liability for the actions and/or omissions of the organizer(s) of a dues-collecting channel or a ticketed event, and the organizer(s) will be held fully liable for any fraud, misrepresentations or otherwise illegal or harmful conduct.
