You commit to contacting us first before bringing any legal action if you have any questions or concerns regarding the Services. Our customer service representatives will make an effort to address any query or issue.
In the unlikely event that our customer service representatives are unable to address your concerns, you and we both agree that, rather than going to general jurisdiction courts, any disputes or claims arising under or related to these Terms, your use of the Services, or your relationship with us will be settled through binding arbitration or, if applicable, small claims court.

No more than one person's claims may be combined, and the arbitrator is not permitted to preside over any kind of class, combined, or representative proceeding.

You and we each acknowledge that different arbitrations may present overlapping factual or legal issues. As such, to the fullest allowable extent. 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.
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").

City Agenda aims to provide a fair and transparent refund policy for all users. The following outlines how refunds are handled for cancelled events and consumer cancellations:
If an event is cancelled by the organizer, consumers who have purchased tickets are entitled to a full refund of the ticket price, minus payment processing fees. These fees, which are charged by third-party payment
processors (e.g., Stripe, PayPal, or iDEAL), will not be refunded, as they are non-recoverable.
Organizers are responsible for informing consumers of event cancellations
promptly and ensuring that refunds are initiated in compliance with this policy.
If a consumer cancels their participation in an event, they may request a refund in accordance with the organizer’s stated refund policy. Refunds for cancellations made at least 24 hours prior to the scheduled event start time will be processed as follows:
Consumers will receive a refund of the ticket price, minus payment processing fees, which are non-recoverable.
Cancellations made less than 24 hours before the event start time may not be eligible for a refund unless explicitly permitted by the organizer’s refund policy.
In general consumers can cancel joining the event anytime 24 hours prior to the event starting time however, Certain events may have a “non-refundable” policy, as explicitly stated on the event page. In such cases, no refunds will be issued for consumer cancellations.
If a refund is issued for a ticket, the consumer must discard the ticket and is prohibited from using it to attend the event. Using a refunded ticket will be considered fraudulent activity.
Organizers are responsible for validating tickets at the event and ensuring that only valid, non-refunded tickets are accepted.
If you are a Consumer and you receive a refund for your ticket, you will discard the ticket and will not use it (or any copy of it) to attend the event. Violation of this is fraud.
If you are event organizer, you agree that if you cancel your event at any time, all consumers who previously purchased the tickets must be refunded.
Payment processing fees are non-refundable of all events to all users.
CityAgenda is not responsible for any additional costs or damages incurred due to event cancellations or consumer cancellations. These include but are not limited to travel expenses, accommodation costs, or fees charged by third-party platforms.

Consumers are encouraged to review the organizer’s refund policy before purchasing tickets.
Refunds may not be guaranteed for cancellations due to force majeure events (e.g., natural disasters, government orders). In such cases, refunds will be subject to the organizer's discretion.
