2. Brainseries's Services and Role

2.1 What we do.

We provide a platform for managing informational posters and technical events, fostering connections between Organizers, Creators, and Consumers through impactful live experiences. Our services empower Creators to design informative posters, enable Organizers to create, post, and oversee both online and in-person events, as well as facilitate ticket sales for these events.

2.2 How we fit in.

We are not the creator, organizer, or owner of the events or posters listed on the Services nor are we the seller of tickets, registrations or any merchandise on the Services. Instead, we provide our Services, which allow Organizers to manage ticketing and registrations and promote their events and Creators to create informational posters.

When sharing posters, Creator is  solely responsible for ensuring the provided information true to their best knowledge and    only images conveying information are allowed. Posting copyrighted, defamatory, obscene, offensive, hateful, insulting, intimidating, bullying, abusive, or threatening images, whether directed at an individual or a group, is strictly prohibited.

When hosting an event, the Organizer is solely responsible for ensuring that their event and any page displaying an event complies with any 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. 

If the Organizer is hosting an event with paid tickets, the Organizer selects the payment processing method offered to Consumers for its event as more fully described in the  Business Agreement . Consumers must use the payment processing method the Organizer selects to collect payment. 

If the Organizer uses Brainseries Payment Processing (defined in the  Business Agreement ), we act as the Organizer's limited agent to process payments from Consumers on the Organizer's behalf using our third-party payment service providers. If the Organizer selects Facilitated Payment Processing (defined in the  Business Agreement ), we transmit the Consumer’s payment details to the Organizer’s designated payment provider but do not process the transaction.

These Terms apply when you access our Services.

The parties understand that, absent this mandatory provision, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.

9.1 Customer Support.

Contact us first if you have an issue with our Services.

You agree that if you have a question or concern about the Services, you will  contact us  first, prior to initiating any legal proceeding. Our customer support team will try to answer your question or resolve your concern.

9.2 Arbitration Process. 

If a dispute can’t be resolved between us, it must be resolved through arbitration.

In the unlikely event that our customer support team is unable to resolve your concerns, you and we each agree to resolve all disputes and claims between you and us, including any arising under or relating to these Terms, your use of the Services, or your and our relationship, through binding arbitration or (to the extent the claim qualifies) in small claims court, instead of in courts of general jurisdiction. As explained below, the appointed arbitrator will have authority to enter all relief that would be available in court, to the extent warranted by the claims. All arbitrations and small claims proceedings will proceed only on an individual basis. In no event may either we or you seek to resolve a dispute with the other as part of any purported class, consolidated or representative proceeding, except as provided for in Section 9.9 below. Binding arbitration is subject to very limited review. Only the appointed arbitrator – and not any court – will have the authority to resolve any dispute relating to this Section, including any dispute regarding the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of these Terms. This arbitration provision will survive termination of these Terms and any other agreement between you and us. These Terms evidence a transaction in interstate commerce and the interpretation and enforcement of this Section 9 is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, notwithstanding the choice of law set forth in Section 9.8 below.

9.3 Applicability.

1. This agreement to arbitrate applies to all legal disputes between you and us. It includes, but is not limited to: (i) all claims relating to any aspect of the relationship between you and us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory; (ii) all claims that arose before this or any prior agreement (including claims relating to advertising); and (iii) all claims that may arise after termination of these Terms and/or your use of the Services.

2. Notwithstanding this agreement to arbitrate, you or we may choose to bring: 

A. an action on an individual basis in small claims court (to the extent the applicable claim qualifies); or 

B. enforcement actions, validity determinations or claims relating to theft, piracy or unauthorized use of intellectual property in state court in the Indian Patent or Trademark Office to protect your or our Intellectual Property Rights. "Intellectual Property Rights" means patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets, but not privacy or publicity rights.

3. In addition, the portion of any dispute or complaint relating to our participation in the US-EU or US-Swiss Privacy Shield Frameworks is subject to the Dispute Resolution section of our Privacy Policy before being subject to this Section.

9.4 No Class Actions. 

We both agree to not bring a class action.

You and we each acknowledge that different arbitrations may present overlapping factual or legal issues. As such, to the fullest allowable extent, and subject to Section 9.9 below, you and we each agree that in the event one of you or us initiates an arbitration against the other and we determine, in our sole discretion, that such arbitration presents one or more questions of fact or law that are also at issue in a pending arbitration between us and a third party (a “Similar Arbitration”), the arbitration involving you will, at our request, be assigned to the same arbitrator presiding over the Similar Arbitration and/or be paused until the Similar Arbitration is resolved. Any rulings in any Similar Arbitration will not be binding in the arbitration involving you.

9.5 Dispute Notice. 

Notice must be given when one of us intends to seek arbitration.

A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other a written Notice of Dispute ("Dispute Notice"). The Dispute Notice to Brainseries must be addressed to the following address ("Notice Address") and must be sent by certified mail: Brainseries, LLP, Attn: Legal Department, 1st Main Rd, Block K, Anna Nagar East, Chennai, Tamil Nadu 600102 India.  Dispute Notices to you will be addressed to a mailing, home, or payment address currently on record with Brainseries and must be sent by certified mail. If we have no records of a physical address, our Dispute Notice may be delivered to your Brainseries account email address. The Dispute Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. If Brainseries and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Dispute Notice is sent, you or Brainseries may commence an arbitration proceeding.

9.6 Your Right to OPT Out.

If you want to opt out of our agreement to arbitrate, you must notify us in time.

The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of your first use of the Services or your agreement to these Terms (whichever is later); otherwise, you will be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of these provisions.

We do not control (and cannot disclose) fees levied by your bank and/or credit card company, including fees for purchasing tickets and registrations in foreign currencies or from foreign persons.

Any determinations, decisions, or beliefs by us under these Terms may be made by us in our sole discretion. As used in these Terms, “including” means “including, but not limited to.” When these Terms say that you “will” take an action, this means that you are agreeing to take the action and that you must take that action. Your obligations, duties, warranties, representations, releases, and waivers throughout these Terms are also the obligations, duties, warranties, representations, releases, and waivers of your Affiliates.
