PLEASE READ: THESE TERMS CONTAIN A MANDATORY ARBITRATION CLAUSE AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER. THEY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS BY REQUIRING ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN YOU AND STAGERUNNER, SUBJECT TO LIMITED EXCEPTIONS, TO BE RESOLVED BY FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND REQUIRING YOU TO FORGO JURY TRIALS, CLASS OR COLLECTIVE ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS, AND ALL OTHER TYPES OF COURT PROCEEDINGS OF ANY KIND.

BY ENTERING THIS AGREEMENT, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND AND EXPRESSLY AGREE TO THE MANDATORY ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER.
We provide a Platform to help Users connect with each other to book Stages but do not endorse any specific Stage Users, Stage Owners or Stages registered with or offered through the Platform. Any designations or information provided through the Platform are based on the information we have available to us which may be provided by other users or third parties and which may be inaccurate or out of date and do not constitute endorsement. Each User is independent, and Stage Owners are independent contractors, unaffiliated with Stagerunner, that are solely responsible for the character, quality, utility and provision of any Stage they provide or do not provide to a User.
These Stagerunner Terms and Conditions (“Agreement”) are a contract between Stagerunner and any person or entity using the Stagerunner website or Platform (“User” or “you”). This Agreement describes the terms and conditions that apply to use of the Stagerunner marketplace to list Stages or other services through our website or apps.
If you have questions about this Agreement, please contact us. Your use of the Platform or Services constitutes your ongoing acceptance of this Agreement, as amended.
Section 1: General Terms
1.1 Services
Platform Services. Stagerunner is a marketplace provider that offers several different services (“Services”) to its users. Stagerunner connects Stage Users and Stage Owners through the Stagerunner platform (“Platform”) which is the online marketplace that allows Stage Owners to list their Stages to Stage Users. We are continuously improving the Platform for all users and reserve the right to make changes in our discretion. Changes we make to the Platform, including discontinuing certain features, affect all users and we try to minimize disruption to users. However, these changes may affect users differently. We are not responsible if any specific changes we make to the Platform adversely affect how you use them.
User Responsibility. Stagerunner is not an owner or operator of Stages. Stagerunner’s responsibility is limited to listing Stages on the Platform. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE SERVICES ARE INTENDED TO BE USED SOLELY TO FACILITATE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN STAGE OWNERS AND STAGE USERS. STAGERUNNER SHALL HAVE NO RESPONSIBILITY OR ANY LIABILITY TO YOU OR OTHERS FOR THE INFORMATION OR CONTENT CONTAINED IN ANY LISTINGS AND/OR THE CONDITION, LEGALITY, SAFETY, OR SUITABILITY OF ANY BOOKINGS OR STAGES. ACCORDINGLY, ANY BOOKINGS WILL BE MADE OR ACCEPTED AT A USER’S SOLE DISCRETION AND OWN RISK. AMONG OTHER THINGS, STAGE OWNERS MUST SATISFY THEMSELVES WITH ANY STAGE USER(S) AND THEIR CREDENTIALS, AND USERS MUST SATISFY THEMSELVES WITH STAGE OWNERS AND THE STAGE OWNERS’ STAGES.
Stage Owner Services. Stage Owners may use our Platform to offer a specific sound stage (a “Stage”) and any related services to a Stage User to use for a specific time and purpose (a “Project”). The details of each Stage, including its availability, booking price, additional fees, rules, and other terms are provided in a “Listing.” Please note, Stagerunner does not own, lease, or control the Stages listed, and does not make decisions surrounding whether to accept a booking. Stage Owners are solely responsible for their Stages, Listings and bookings.
1.2 Using Our Services
Eligibility. You must be at least the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction of residence, and able to enter into legally binding contracts in order to access and use the Platform, create an account, or utilize any of the Services. By using the Platform and our Services, you represent and warrant that you meet all of the foregoing eligibility requirements. If you do not meet all of these requirements, you must not access or use the Platform.
Third Party Services and Content. Our Platform is made available to you in connection with the offering of third party services that Stagerunner does not control. Stagerunner does not endorse any such third party services and in no event shall Stagerunner be liable or responsible for any third party services or third party services providers (like Stage Owners and Stage Users).
Planning a Project. Our Platform allows Users to connect to locate Stages for Projects. Stage Owners control the availability, quality, and terms of their Listings. It is a Users responsibility to evaluate each other User with whom you choose to contract, communicate, or otherwise interact. Stagerunner is not responsible for booking the Stage, payment of Stage fees or the quality of Stages offered. We do not make any representations or warranties as to the conduct of Users or their interactions with any current or future Users, or assume any responsibility for the confirmation of any user’s identity.
Bookings. When Stage Owners and Stage Users enter into bookings with one another (e.g. when a Stage Owner and Stage User sign an agreement relating to the lease or license of a Stage), they enter into a contract directly with one another. Any agreement you enter into with another User is between you and the applicable party. Stagerunner is not a party to any such contract and does not represent or warrant the performance by any party to such agreement. You understand and agree that Stagerunner is not acting as an agent for any User.
Communication With Stagerunner. You agree that Stagerunner may contact you by telephone, text messages or SMS (including by an automatic telephone dialing system), through electronic messaging on the Platform, or via email at any of the communication methods provided by you or on your behalf in connection with your Account, including for marketing purposes, where you have opted-in to receive marketing communication. You understand that you are not required to provide consent to receive marketing communications as a condition of purchasing any goods or services, and you may opt out of those marketing communications at any time. You specifically consent to receive communications related to your Account through text messages, SMS, or other communications sent to your mobile device (“Mobile Notifications”). Standard mobile rates will apply for any Mobile Notifications you receive. You may stop receiving these Mobile Notifications at any point by responding to such messages with “STOP” or following the instructions included in a message. However, if you do so, you may miss critical messages related to your Account. We are not responsible for and disclaim all liability for all harm or losses caused by disabling Mobile Notifications. Please contact us if you experience issues when attempting to stop Mobile Notifications.
Communications With Other Users. You may use the Platform only as permitted in this Agreement. You may not use the Platform to send messages that are unwanted or unrelated to booking a Listing through the Platform, harass or attempt to market other services to users, or to solicit and/or send spam. We are not responsible for, and disclaim all liability resulting from, any losses or harm to you resulting from sharing personal or sensitive data with other users, or communicating or engaging with Users.
Contractual Disputes Between Users. We are not responsible to you or any third party for providing, or for the condition or nature of, any Stage or for the payment of any fees for licensing a Stage. Stage Owners and Stage Users are independent third-parties and are not affiliated, controlled by, or employed by Stagerunner. Stage Owners set their own prices, use their own facilities and resources, and may apply conditions of use to Stages as they feel is appropriate for their business. Stage Owners and Stage Users are solely responsible for their interactions with each other, and any other parties with whom they interact.
Your Account
Registration. Before a Stage Owner may use the Platform or Services, it must create an account with Stagerunner (“Account”) and provide us with information about yourself and your company, if applicable. If you are registering on behalf of a legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to legally bind that entity and grant all rights, permissions, and licenses contained in this Agreement or any other applicable terms, in your jurisdiction of residence. Misrepresenting your affiliation or association with an entity may result in immediate termination of your Account, ineligibility to participate in any of our Services, monetary damages, and reporting to the appropriate legal authority.
Account Security. You will be required to provide an email address and password to keep your Account secure (“Credentials”) and agree to keep your Credentials private and secure. You are responsible for any actions associated with your Account whether or not authorized. You are solely responsible for the actions or communications of your employees, representatives, hires, or agents (“Agents”). We are not responsible for and disclaim all liability for use of your Account by your Agents. You may not assign or transfer your Account to another party without our prior written consent.
Account Updates. We may ask that you update your Account or provide additional or different information at any time. This includes requiring additional details about Stages. You are required to update all Account information necessary to maintain compliance with this Agreement, including but not limited to maintaining proper contact information. We may retain Content and continue to display and use any public Content (including comments or reviews of Stages) after your Account is terminated. Termination of your Account does not terminate any contractual arrangements you have with third parties, including any obligations to government entities for tax purposes.
Account Termination By Us. Subject to applicable law, we may suspend your Account or terminate this Agreement and your Account at any time and based on our sole discretion without limitation. We are likely to terminate your account if (i) we believe that use of your Account poses a risk to Stagerunner, you, other users, or third parties; (ii) there is evidence of actual or potential fraud by you or on your behalf; (iii) you fail to respond to communications from us or other users; or (iv) you fail to comply with this Agreement.
Survival. Upon termination of this Agreement or any agreement between you and Stagerunner, the clauses of this Agreement that reasonably should survive termination will remain in effect.
Fees and Taxes
Fees and Payments. Stagerunner charges services fees to Stage Owners in exchange for use of the Platform Services or other services (collectively “Service Fees”). Subject to applicable law, you acknowledge and accept that, as between you and Stagerunner, Stagerunner may revise charges for any services obtained through use of the Platform at any time in Stagerunner’s sole discretion. Stagerunner will make reasonable efforts to inform you of the charges incurred through your use of the Platform Services, but you shall be responsible for all charges incurred under your Account regardless of your awareness of such charges. Stagerunner reserves the right to otherwise collect payment from you and pursue any remedies available to Stagerunner in circumstances in which you are deemed liable or owing for any unpaid fees, damages, Fines or other sums for which you are responsible, as reasonably assessed and determined by Stagerunner and in accordance with this Agreement, the applicable policy set by Stagerunner.
Stage Owner Charges and Additional Fees. Each Stage User is responsible for paying any amounts owed to a Stage Owner for use of the Stage. Stagerunner is not responsible nor does it guaranty performance by any Stage User.
Taxes. As a Stage Owner you are solely responsible for payment of all taxes, levies, penalties, and other costs imposed by any taxing authority or government agency related to Listing or booking, including any sales or occupancy tax, indirect taxes such as valued added tax (VAT), or goods and services tax (GST), usage or permitting fees, duties, and other taxes imposed by municipalities, states, provinces, territories, or governments through regulation, ordinance, law, or judicial or regulatory interpretation (collectively “Taxes”). You are responsible for all Taxes owed for booking or Listing a Stage. You understand and agree that Stagerunner does not provide you with any advice or guidance of any kind or nature regarding Taxes and that you have been advised to consult with your tax advisor for any required advice or guidance regarding Taxes.
Payment. Each Stage Owner will timely and fully pay any Service Fees, Taxes or other amounts you owe under this Agreement. If you owe amounts and we are unable to receive payment through the Platform for any reason, then we may require that you pay through other means (such as direct debit, wire transfer, or cashiers’ check). We may set-off any amounts owed to us through collection of funds that would otherwise be payable to you through the Platform. You are responsible for any costs or expenses associated with our recovering of Fees, Taxes, or Fines owed, including our legal fees or expenses. In our discretion, any late payments of more than 7 days may incur a late charge of up to ten percent (10%) and accumulate interest of twenty-five percent (25%) per annum until delinquency is resolved, or where such amounts are in contravention of local laws, the upper limit of interest that can be reasonably charged on late payments. We may use any legal means available to us to collect delinquent payments, including collections agencies or court filings.

Access to or use of certain features of the Platform may be subject to additional policies or guidelines or may require you to accept additional terms and conditions. In the Project of a conflict between the Agreement and the additional terms and conditions for a specific area of the Platform, the latter terms and conditions will take precedence with respect to that specific area of the Platform, unless otherwise specified.
