In this section, words like ‘holder’, ‘bearer’, and ‘purchaser’ will refer to you – the person who will buy the tickets to a workshop. On the other hand, ‘our’, ‘us’, ‘we’, ‘issuer’, ‘provider’ and similar terms will indicate the organizers – Black Octopus Society.
By opting to purchase, allocate or possess tickets to a workshop, you automatically agree to our terms of use.
Note that Black Octopus Society reserves the right to make changes, revisions, and amendments, or add/remove sections from this set of terms and conditions – without any prior notifications to you. These changes will relate back to the date of purchase of a workshop ticket.
The ticket you purchase represents a revocable license for you to access the livestream on the scheduled date(s) when a workshop is scheduled to be hosted. The license includes the revocable right to attending the workshop. This license can be revoked at any time by the issuer at its sole discretion, without any prior notifications or compensation options.
Kindly note that blackoctopussociety.com is the sole authorized source for purchasing tickets. If you obtain your ticket(s) from any other unauthorized source, you take on the risks of those tickets turning out to be counterfeit or reported to be stolen. The issuer has the right to dishonor such stolen/counterfeit tickets and declare them as void.
The ticket(s) delivered to you are not meant to be used for illegal reselling, copying, reproducing, or misrepresenting in any form. You cannot use the ticket(s) for any promotional/advertising purposes either (including sweepstakes and competitions) without our prior approval. Any proven record of such activities will result in immediate cancellation of your ticket(s).
Please note that tickets cannot be redeemed against cash, credits, or any other benefits.
The event service will be deemed to have been delivered in its entirety as soon as a workshop starts. From that point on, no refund requests will be entertained.
If a workshop is cancelled in its entirety due to any unforeseen circumstances, Black Octopus Society has the sole and absolute right to:
i) reschedule the event, or
ii) issue a partial/full refund
Please note that the decision of the issuer in such cases will be deemed final and binding.
If a workshop is cancelled due to any factors or causes not in the control of the issuer, the latter will offer a partial or full refund, or postpone the event, or provide a comparable ‘make good’ option. These factors will be inclusive of, but not limited to, natural disasters, federal/state announcements, strikes, delays in production, and the like. Once again, the decision of Black Octopus Society will be considered final.
All ticket sales are deemed as FINAL TRANSACTIONS. Ticket returns/exchanges/cancellations must be approved by Black Octopus Society and are not guaranteed.
By purchasing a workshop ticket, you give your consent to Black Octopus Society to collect certain information about yourself for verification and storage.
Please note that you purchase a workshop ticket of your own free will. As such, you do not have the right to initiate a chargeback claim or dispute on the provider of the credit card/debit card that had been used for the transaction.
In all cases of disputes between the ticket-bearer and the ticket-issuer, the decision of the latter will be deemed final. In case a dispute cannot be resolved, the help of an independent third-party arbiter will be sought.
