Welcome to Swimming Events. The following are the rules or "Terms" that govern use of the Swimming Events website ("Site"). By using or visiting the Site, you expressly agree to be bound by these Terms and to follow these Terms and all applicable laws and regulations governing the Site. Sailfish Systems Limited and their respective affiliates and subsidiaries (collectively "Sailfish Systems") reserve the right to change these Terms at any time, effective immediately upon posting on the Site. Please check this page of the Site periodically. If you violate these Terms of Use, Swimming Events may terminate your use of the Site, bar you from future use of the Site, cancel your ticket order, and/or take appropriate legal action against you.
1. Introduction
1.1 What's What.
Swimming Events’ products, features and offerings are available (a) online through swimming.events; (b) off platform, including without limitation, RFID, entry management, sponsorship and marketing or distribution services; and (c) through mobile applications, webpages, application programming interfaces, and subdomains ("Applications"). (a), (b), and (c) are collectively referred to as "Swimming Events Properties" or our "Services". These Terms apply to any Site(s) on which they are posted; where other terms or agreements are instead posted, those terms or agreements apply to the extent they conflict with these Terms.
1.2 Who's Who.
When these Terms use the term "Organiser," we mean event creators using the Services to create events displayed on the Services for consumers using our Services (a) to consume information about or attend Events ("Consumers"), or (b) for any other reason. Organisers, Consumers and third parties using our Services are all referred to in these Terms collectively as "Users," "you" or "your."
When these Terms use the term “Sailfish,” "Swimming Events," "we," "us," or "our," that refers to Sailfish Systems Limited and its subsidiaries, and each of its and their respective officers, directors, agents, partners and employees.
1.3 What Else.
If you are an Organiser offering events with paid tickets, Swimming events’ Organiser refund requirements are also applicable to you. If you are a Consumer, Swimming Events’ Purchase policy are applicable to you. (Some, but not all, of the terms in those agreements are duplicated in these Terms of use.) And, by agreeing to these Terms of use, you acknowledge you have read the Privacy policy and Cookies policy applicable to all Users. We may sometimes provide you with services that are not described in these Terms of use, or customised services: unless we have entered into a separate, signed agreement that expressly supersedes these Terms of use, these Terms of use will apply to those services as well.
1.4 What the "Terms of Service" Means.
These Terms of Service and the other documents referenced in them (including the above) comprise Swimming Events’ "Terms." These Terms are a legally binding agreement between you and Swimming Events governing your access to and use of the Services and setting out your rights and responsibilities when you use the Services. By using any of our Services (including browsing a Site), you are agreeing to these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use or access the Services. If you will be using the Services on behalf of an entity (such as on behalf of your employer), you agree to these Terms on behalf of that entity and its affiliates and you represent that you have the authority to do so. In such case, "you" and "your" will refer to that entity as well as yourself.
2. Swimming Events’ Services and Role
2.1 What We Do.
Swimming Events’ Services provide a simple and quick means for Users to create profiles, (in turn) organiser profiles, and other webpages related to their events, promote those pages and events to visitors or browsers on the Services or elsewhere online, manage online or onsite ticketing and registration, solicit donations, sell or reserve merchandise or accommodations related to those events to Consumers or other Users, enter events, contact organisers and associate multiple swimmers. We process the payments received through the site and allocate to the organisers.
2.2 How We Fit In.
Swimming Events is not the creator, organiser or owner of the events listed on the Services unless specified in the event details. Rather, Swimming Events provides its Services, which allow Organisers to manage ticketing and registration and promote their events. The Organiser is solely responsible for ensuring that any page displaying an event on the Services (and the event itself) meet all applicable laws, rules and regulations, and that the goods and services described on the event page are delivered as described and in an accurate satisfactory manner. Consumers must use whatever payment processing method allowed at checkout.
3. Privacy and Consumer Information
3.1 We know your personal information is important to you and it is important to Swimming Events too. Information provided to Swimming Events by Users or collected by Swimming Events through third parties, is governed by our Privacy policy.
3.2 If you are an Organiser, you represent, warrant and agree that (a) you will at all times comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations with respect to information you collect from (or receive about) consumers, and (b) you will at all times comply with any applicable policies posted on the Services with respect to information you collect from (or receive about) consumers.
4. Terms Termination
4.1 These Terms apply to you as soon as you access the Services by any means and continue in effect until they are terminated. There may come a time where either you or Swimming Events decides it's best to part ways as described in Sections 4.2 or 4.3 below. When that happens, these Terms will generally no longer apply. However, as described in Section 4.4, certain provisions will always remain applicable to both you and Swimming Events.
4.2 Swimming Events may terminate your right to use the Services at any time (a) if you violate or breach these Terms; (b) if you misuse or abuse the Services, or use the Services in a way not intended or permitted by Swimming Events; or (c) if allowing you to access and use the Services would violate any applicable laws, rules and regulations or would expose Swimming Events to legal liability. Swimming Events may choose to stop offering the Services, or any particular portion of the Service, or modify or replace any aspect of the Service, at any time. We will use reasonable efforts to provide you with notice of our termination of your access to the Services, where, in Swimming Events’ sole discretion, failure to do so would materially prejudice you. You agree that Swimming Events will not be liable to you or any third-party as a result of its termination of your right to use or otherwise access the Services.
4.3 Except to the extent you have agreed otherwise in a separate written agreement between you and Swimming Events, you may terminate your access to the Services and the general applicability of Terms by deleting your account. If you are a Consumer using the Services without a registered account, your only option for these Terms to no longer apply is to stop accessing the Services indefinitely. So long as you continue to access the Services, even without an account, these Terms remain in effect. If there is a separate agreement between you and Swimming Events governing your use of the Services and that agreement terminates or expires, these Terms (as unmodified by such agreement) will govern your use of the Services after such termination or expiration.
4.4 All provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination of these Terms will survive (including, without limitation, all limitations on liability, releases, indemnification obligations, disclaimers of warranties, agreements to arbitrate, choices of law and judicial forum and intellectual property protections and licences).
