2. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE

Seat Connect, LLC is a mobile application that operates as a ticket resale marketplace platform connecting individual ticket buyers and sellers. Seat Connect, LLC does NOT sell tickets directly and does not own or provide any tickets listed on the platform. All tickets are posted by individual users who wish to resell their tickets.

Important Disclaimer: Seat Connect, LLC is an independent ticket resale marketplace and is NOT affiliated with, endorsed by, or partnered with any venues, teams, artists, promoters, or primary ticket sellers including but not limited to Allegiant Stadium, the Las Vegas Raiders, Ticketmaster, or any other venue or organization. Our initial launch focuses on events at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada, but we maintain no business relationship with the venue or its tenants. As we expand to additional venues, this same independence applies to all locations.

The App is provided by Seat Connect, LLC ("Company," "we," "us," or "our").

10. PAYMENT PROCESSING, FEES, AND COMMISSIONS

10.1 Payment Processing and Seller Identity Verification

  • All payments are processed through Stripe Connect, our third-party payment processor

  • By using the App, you agree to Stripe's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy

  • Stripe Connect handles all payment processing, including credit card transactions and payouts to sellers

  • You acknowledge that Stripe may collect and process your payment information independently

  • Any changes to Stripe's fees or policies will be governed by Stripe's terms, not Seat Connect's terms

Mandatory Seller Stripe Connect Setup: All sellers must complete Stripe Connect account setup and identity verification before creating their first listing. This is a required step in the seller onboarding process and cannot be bypassed.

Stripe Connect's verification process includes:

  • Government-issued identification verification

  • Legal name, date of birth, and tax identification number (SSN or EIN) verification

  • Bank account ownership verification and validation

  • Address verification against official records

  • Fraud screening and risk assessment through Stripe's databases

  • Compliance with Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) requirements

Stripe Connect Verification = Verified Seller Status: All sellers who successfully complete Stripe Connect verification are considered "Verified Sellers" on the platform. This verification confirms the seller is 18 years or older and has passed identity validation.

Sellers who cannot complete Stripe's verification process or whose accounts are flagged by Stripe for fraud indicators will be unable to list tickets on the platform.

Payment Processor Changes: If our relationship with Stripe Connect ends or changes, Seat Connect reserves the right to update payment processing methods and add alternative payment processors and payout systems as we scale our operations. Any replacement payment processor will maintain equivalent or stronger identity verification requirements. Users will be notified 30 days in advance of any changes to payment processing, and continued use of the platform constitutes acceptance of new payment terms and verification requirements.

10.2 Buyer Fees

  • Buyers pay no additional fees beyond the ticket price listed by the seller

  • All payment processing fees are included in our commission structure

10.3 Seller Fees and Commission

  • Sellers are charged a 10% commission on the total sale price of each successfully completed transaction

  • This 10% commission includes Seat Connect's service fee and Stripe Connect processing fees (2.9% + $0.30 per successful transaction)

  • Commission Timing: Commission is deducted when seller payout is processed (5-10 business days after event concludes)

  • For cancelled events where seller has not yet been paid, no commission is charged

  • The commission is automatically deducted from the seller's payout

  • Sellers receive the ticket sale price minus the 10% commission

10.4 Payout Schedule and Platform Error Handling

Dual Confirmation Required: Seller payouts require confirmation from both parties before processing:

  • Seller confirms they have completed transfer through venue's official ticketing platform

  • Buyer confirms they have received and accepted tickets through the official platform

Pending Balance System: When seller confirms ticket transfer completion (with or without buyer confirmation), funds are credited to the seller's Stripe Connect account as "pending balance." Sellers can view their pending balance but cannot withdraw funds until after the event has concluded.

Payout Timeline - All Seller Payouts (Uniform Timeline):

  • Seller pending balance becomes available for withdrawal 5-10 business days after the event concludes

  • Applies to all transactions regardless of buyer confirmation status

  • Consistent timeline protects against chargebacks and post-event disputes

Business Days Definition: Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays observed in the United States.

Why Post-Event Payout Timing?

  • Ensures tickets were valid and provided entry to venue

  • Protects against chargebacks filed after event attendance

  • Allows time for venue-related issues to surface

  • Confirms tickets functioned as promised before releasing seller funds

  • Standard industry practice for secondary ticket marketplaces

Platform Error Liability:

  • If a platform system error (such as providing incorrect email information to a seller for transfer purposes) causes transfer failure, Seat Connect will issue a full refund to the buyer

  • Sellers will not be penalized for transfer failures caused by verified platform errors

  • Users must report suspected platform errors immediately to customer support for investigation

  • Platform error investigations will be completed within 7 business days of receiving complete information and documentation

  • Seat Connect will make determinations on a case-by-case basis

10.5 Refunds and Disputes

All sales are final. Orders cannot be cancelled or exchanged once completed, except:

  • Event cancellations as outlined in Section 11.4

  • Seller non-delivery as outlined in Section 11.5

  • Platform errors as outlined in Section 10.4

  • Invalid or fraudulent tickets as outlined in our BuyerTrust Guarantee

If you cannot attend the event you purchased tickets for, you may list your tickets for resale on the Seat Connect platform.

Refund policies are governed by Stripe's dispute resolution process for payment-related issues. In case of disputes, chargebacks, or refunds, sellers may be responsible for the full transaction amount plus any associated fees.

10.6 Tax Reporting and Compliance

IRS Reporting Requirements: Seat Connect, LLC will issue Form 1099-K to sellers who meet current IRS reporting thresholds. As of 2024, this threshold is $600 or more in gross payments annually, subject to IRS updates. Sellers are responsible for reporting all income from ticket sales for tax purposes, regardless of whether they receive a 1099 form. Seat Connect is not responsible for providing tax advice, and sellers should consult qualified tax professionals regarding their obligations.

Seller Tax Responsibilities: All sellers are solely responsible for:

  • Reporting all ticket sale income on tax returns

  • Paying applicable federal, state, and local taxes

  • Maintaining accurate transaction records

  • Complying with all tax laws and regulations

  • Consulting with qualified tax professionals regarding obligations

Important: Tax laws change frequently. Sellers should consult current IRS guidelines and tax professionals for up-to-date information.

10.7 Unclaimed Funds Policy

Any unclaimed funds, pending payouts, or dormant account balances will be managed in accordance with the seller's Stripe Connect account terms and conditions. Seat Connect defers to Stripe's policies regarding unclaimed funds, dormant accounts, and escheatment requirements. Sellers should review Stripe's terms for information about unclaimed fund procedures and timeframes.


11. TICKET MARKETPLACE POLICIES

11.1 Ticket Authenticity and Seller Responsibility

  • Seat Connect, LLC operates solely as a marketplace platform and does not sell, own, or provide any tickets

  • All tickets are listed by individual users who are reselling their personal tickets

  • Seat Connect, LLC is an independent resale marketplace with no affiliation to venues, teams, artists, or primary ticket sellers

  • We are not affiliated with or endorsed by Allegiant Stadium, Las Vegas Raiders, Ticketmaster, or any venue operators

  • Seat Connect, LLC does not guarantee the authenticity, validity, or quality of tickets listed on the platform

  • Season tickets or membership-based tickets where transfer is prohibited

  • Tickets for events that have been cancelled or indefinitely postponed

11.3 Ticket Delivery and Transfer

All ticket transfers occur through the venue's official ticketing platform, NOT through the Seat Connect app. For events at Allegiant Stadium, all ticket transfers must be completed through the Ticketmaster platform. Seat Connect, LLC does not store, hold, or transfer actual tickets - we facilitate the connection between buyers and sellers only.

Transfer Timing Requirements:

Standard Purchases (More than 72 hours before event):

  • Sellers MUST complete ticket transfer by the 72-hour mark before official event start time

  • At 72 hours: Platform monitors transfer status and alerts seller if incomplete

  • Seller Response Window: Sellers have 24 additional hours to respond, provide proof of transfer, or complete the transfer

  • 48 Hours Before Event: If no satisfactory progress, platform may cancel transaction and refund buyer

  • Buyers must confirm receipt on Seat Connect within 24 hours of accepting transfer on official platform

Last-Minute Purchases (Within 72 hours of event):

  • Sellers are strongly encouraged to transfer immediately upon purchase

  • Sellers MUST complete transfer before official event start time (kickoff)

  • Buyers must confirm receipt within 24 hours of accepting transfer OR before event start time, whichever comes first

Event Start Deadline:

  • All listings automatically deactivated at official event start time

  • Pending transactions automatically cancelled if transfers not completed by kickoff

Platform Intervention Process (72-Hour Mark):

When 72-hour deadline reached without transfer completion:

Step 1: Automatic Notification (72 hours before event)

  • Seller receives urgent alerts via email, SMS, and in-app notification

  • Buyer notified that platform is monitoring the situation

  • Transaction flagged for customer support review

Step 2: Seller Response Window (24 hours to respond)

Seller must provide within 24 hours:

  • Status update on transfer

  • Proof of transfer attempt (screenshot with timestamp)

  • Explanation if unable to complete transfer

  • Commitment to completion timeline

Step 3: Platform Decision Point (48 hours before event)

Based on seller response:

  • If seller responsive with proof of progress: Continue monitoring until completion

  • If seller non-responsive or cannot complete: Cancel transaction and process buyer refund

  • If situation unclear: Platform decides case-by-case whether to cancel or continue

Buyer Confirmation Requirements:

  • Buyers must confirm receipt on Seat Connect platform within 24 hours of accepting transfer on official platform

  • If buyer reports 'not received' during confirmation window, dispute process initiated

  • If no confirmation and no disputes, seller payout proceeds 5-10 business days after event conclusion

Automatic Transaction Cancellation:

Transactions are automatically cancelled with full buyer refund when:

  • 72-Hour + 24-Hour Window Expires: Seller fails to respond or show progress within 24 hours of 72-hour alert; Platform determines transfer unlikely to complete

  • Event Start Deadline Missed: Transfer not completed by official event start time; Both seller and buyer confirmations not received by kickoff

  • Seller Unable to Complete: Seller admits they cannot complete transfer; Seller provides evidence they no longer have tickets

Third-Party Platform Issues:

  • Seat Connect disclaims liability for technical failures of third-party ticketing platforms

  • Sellers responsible for completing transfers despite third-party technical issues

  • Platform outages do not extend the 72-hour deadline

  • Sellers should initiate transfers well before 72-hour mark to account for potential issues

IMPORTANT:

After completing the official platform transfer, BOTH parties must return to Seat Connect to confirm the transaction:

  • Sellers must confirm they have initiated and completed the transfer through the official platform

  • Buyers must confirm they have successfully received and accepted the tickets through the official platform

  • Transaction is not considered complete until BOTH confirmations are received on Seat Connect

11.4 Buyer Ticket Confirmation and Transaction Completion

Two-Step Transfer Process:

All ticket transactions require completion on TWO platforms:

1. Official Ticketing Platform (Ticketmaster, etc.):

  • Seller initiates transfer through official venue app

  • Buyer accepts transfer through official venue app

  • Tickets now reside in buyer's official ticketing account

2. Seat Connect Platform (REQUIRED):

  • After accepting on official platform, BOTH parties must return to Seat Connect

  • Seller confirms: 'I have completed the transfer'

  • Buyer confirms: 'I have received the tickets'

  • Transaction not considered complete until BOTH confirmations received

Buyer Confirmation Requirement:

After accepting tickets on the official platform, buyers are HIGHLY ENCOURAGED to immediately confirm receipt on Seat Connect.

To confirm receipt:

  • Open Seat Connect app

  • Navigate to transaction page

  • Click 'Confirm Receipt' button

  • This signals transaction is complete

Why Confirmation Matters:

  • Creates clear record of successful delivery

  • Protects both parties with documented transfer completion

  • Helps platform distinguish legitimate disputes from false claims

  • Builds trust and transaction accountability

  • Note: All sellers receive payout 5-10 days post-event regardless of confirmation

What Happens If Buyer Doesn't Confirm:

Scenario 1: Buyer Received Tickets BUT Doesn't Confirm

  • Platform Assumption: After 24 hours with no confirmation and no dispute, platform assumes buyer successfully received tickets

  • Seller Payout: Proceeds automatically 5-10 business days after event concludes

Scenario 2: Buyer Did NOT Receive Tickets

  • Required Action: Buyer MUST file dispute through 'Report Issue' button

  • Timeline: Report within 24 hours of expected transfer or before event start, whichever is earlier

  • Consequence of Not Reporting: If buyer doesn't confirm receipt AND doesn't report issue, platform assumes successful delivery

Scenario 3: Buyer Confirms Receipt

  • Transaction Complete: Both parties confirmed, transaction finalized

  • Seller Payout: Processed 5-10 business days after event concludes

Critical Buyer Responsibility:

IMPORTANT: Buyers must take action if tickets not received

  • Silence = Assumed Receipt: If buyer does not confirm AND does not dispute, platform assumes tickets were successfully delivered

  • Dispute Deadline: Buyers must report 'tickets not received' before event start time

  • No Late Disputes: After event concludes, disputes for non-delivery will not be accepted if buyer failed to report before event

Legal Effect of Buyer Confirmation:

By confirming receipt on Seat Connect, buyer acknowledges:

  • Tickets successfully received in official ticketing account

  • Tickets appear valid and match listing description

  • No dispute regarding ticket delivery

  • Transaction considered complete and satisfactory

Buyer confirmation does NOT waive rights for:

  • Tickets being invalid or fraudulent (discovered at venue)

  • Tickets not providing entry as promised

  • BuyerTrust Guarantee protections

Post-event protections still available:

  • If tickets invalid at venue, buyer can still report within 5 days of event

  • Platform will investigate invalid ticket claims with venue verification

  • Full refund available for confirmed invalid/fraudulent tickets

11.5 Event Cancellation and Postponement Policy

Cancelled Events:

If an event is officially cancelled by the event organizer and will not be rescheduled, Seat Connect will offer buyers either:

  • 110% Platform Credit: Credit equal to 110% of the original purchase price to use toward future ticket purchases on Seat Connect, OR

  • 100% Refund: Full refund of the original purchase price to the buyer's original payment method, where required by law or at the buyer's request

  • Refunds for cancelled events will be processed within 5-10 business days when refund option is selected

  • Seat Connect will make reasonable efforts to notify users of event cancellations

  • Commission on Cancelled Events: Commission fees will not be charged or will be refunded if the event is cancelled before seller payout has been processed

Postponed or Rescheduled Events:

  • All sales are final: For postponed or rescheduled events, no refunds or exchanges will be provided

  • Original tickets remain valid for the new rescheduled date

  • Buyers are expected to attend the rescheduled event with their original tickets

  • If buyers cannot attend the rescheduled date, they may list their tickets for resale on the Seat Connect platform

  • Seller Payouts for Postponed Events: Seller payouts will be processed 5-10 business days after the new rescheduled event date (not the original date)

Seller Responsibilities:

  • If a seller cannot provide tickets due to event changes or postponement, they must immediately notify Seat Connect

  • Sellers must cooperate with Seat Connect's resolution process for postponed or cancelled events

  • For postponed events, sellers are expected to complete the transfer for the new event date

11.6 Seller Non-Delivery: Complete Buyer Protection

Automatic Cancellation Triggers:

Transactions are automatically cancelled with immediate full buyer refund when:

  • 72-Hour Deadline Missed + Non-Response: Seller fails to complete transfer by 72-hour mark; Seller fails to respond to platform intervention within 6 hours; No proof of transfer attempt provided

  • Event Start Deadline Missed: Seller fails to transfer before official event start time; Both seller AND buyer confirmations not received by kickoff

  • Platform Intervention Reveals Inability to Transfer: Seller admits they cannot complete transfer; Seller provides evidence they no longer have tickets; Clear pattern of seller negligence or fraud

For Buyer-Initiated Fraudulent Chargebacks:

  • Buyers who file fraudulent chargebacks are liable for the full chargeback amount, fees, and platform penalties

Platform Chargeback Timing Protection:

Chargeback Recovery Authorization:

  • Sellers authorize Seat Connect to recover chargeback amounts from their Stripe Connect balance, future payouts, or through collections if necessary

  • Once a payout clears, sellers may withdraw their funds

  • Sellers may not close their Stripe Connect account or Seat Connect account while transactions are pending or within 30 days of their last payout

  • If a chargeback occurs after payout and the seller's balance is insufficient, Seat Connect will deduct the amount from future payouts or pursue collections and legal action if recovery is not possible

  • If a chargeback is successful due to seller fault (non-delivery, invalid tickets, or misrepresentation), the seller is responsible for the full transaction amount plus the $15 chargeback processing fee

Evidence-Based Dispute Resolution:

  • Evidence of successful ticket transfer will be provided to payment processors
