EZ EventsTerms of use
These terms cover your use of ez-events.com and the EZ Events registration and tournament software (together, "EZ Events", "we", "us"). EZ Events is operated by EZ Events LLC, a California limited liability company. By using the site, creating an account, or registering for an event, you agree to these terms and to our privacy policy. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.
1. Events are run by their organizers
EZ Events provides registration, payment, and tournament management software. Each event listed on the site is organized by a school, association, or promoter (the "organizer"), not by EZ Events, unless the event page says otherwise.
The organizer decides the event's divisions, prices, deadlines, refund policy, eligibility rules, waivers, schedule, and venue, and is responsible for running the event. Questions about an event, including refunds, should go to its organizer first. EZ Events isn't responsible for an organizer's decisions, for the conduct of an event, or for anything that happens at an event.
2. Accounts
- Some features, such as the organizer console, need an account. Keep your login details private and tell us at info@ez-events.com if you think someone else has used your account.
- You're responsible for activity under your account. Organizers are responsible for the people they give access to their events.
- We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms or puts other users or the site at risk.
3. Registering
- The information you give must be accurate and complete. Divisions are assigned from details such as age, gender, rank, and weight, so wrong information can put an athlete in the wrong division or make them ineligible.
- Organizers may check what you entered, for example at weigh-in or against a membership organization, and may move, disqualify, or refuse a registration under their event rules.
- A registration is confirmed when the organizer's payment and approval steps are complete. Unpaid or abandoned registrations may be removed.
4. Registering children
Many athletes are under 18. A child must be registered by a parent or legal guardian, or by a coach or school the parent or guardian has authorized to register them. By registering a child, you confirm you have that authority and that the parent or guardian agrees to these terms, the privacy policy, and the event's waivers. EZ Events isn't designed for children to use on their own.
5. Payments and refunds
- Fees are set by the organizer and shown before you pay. Payments are processed by third-party payment processors, such as Stripe or PayPal, or collected as the event describes (for example, pay at the door or by uploaded proof of payment). EZ Events doesn't store full card numbers.
- Refunds, transfers, and credits follow the organizer's policy. Contact the organizer to request one.
- Registration payments go to the organizer's own payment account, and the organizer is the seller. EZ Events doesn't charge registrants a separate fee; organizers pay us for the service.
- If you dispute a charge with your bank, the organizer may cancel the related registration.
6. Waivers and event rules
When you register you may be asked to accept an event's liability waiver, image release, medical treatment authorization, and rules. Those are agreements between you and the organizer. They're separate from these terms and aren't changed by them. Martial arts competition involves physical contact and a risk of injury; decide carefully whether to take part.
7. What's shown publicly
Tournaments are public events. Depending on the event, the site may publicly show:
- event results, brackets, schedules, and live scoreboards, which can include athletes' names, schools, membership numbers, divisions, and placements;
- if the organizer turns it on, a list of registered athletes and coaches showing first name and last initial (never more for anyone under 18), school, belt, and division;
- if the organizer turns it on, the number of athletes and coaches registered.
To ask for a listing to be removed, contact the organizer or info@ez-events.com. The privacy policy explains this in more detail.
8. Acceptable use
You must not:
- use the site for anything unlawful, fraudulent, or harmful, or register under a false identity;
- scrape, crawl, or otherwise collect data from the site in bulk, including registrant lists, results, or contact details, without our written permission;
- use information from the site to contact athletes or families for marketing;
- interfere with the site's security or operation, probe for vulnerabilities, or upload malicious code;
- automate registrations or access the site in ways meant to get around limits;
- copy, resell, or redistribute the site or its content, except as these terms allow.
9. Your content
You keep ownership of what you upload, such as documents, photos, logos, and posters. You give us permission to store, use, display, and share it as needed to provide the service: for example, showing an organizer's poster on its event page or sharing a registration document with the event's organizer. You're responsible for having the rights to what you upload, and it must not be unlawful or infringe anyone else's rights. We may remove content that breaks these terms.
10. Our software and site
The EZ Events software, site, and design belong to us or our licensors. You may use the site for its intended purpose. You may print or save pages for your own personal, non-commercial use. Event names, logos, and posters belong to their organizers.
11. No warranty
The site is provided "as is" and "as available". We work hard to keep it accurate and running, but we don't promise that it will always be available, error-free, or that information on it (including event details supplied by organizers) is complete or current. Nothing on the site is legal, medical, or financial advice.
12. Limits on liability
To the extent the law allows, EZ Events isn't liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential losses, or for lost profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, arising from your use of the site or any event. Our total liability for any claim relating to the site is limited to the greater of the amount you paid EZ Events in the 12 months before the claim, or $100.
Nothing in these terms limits liability that can't be limited by law, including for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or for fraud.
13. Indemnity
If you break these terms and that causes a claim against us, you agree to cover our reasonable losses and costs from that claim, including reasonable legal fees.
14. Changes and termination
- We may update these terms. The date at the top shows the latest version, and changes apply from that date. If a change is significant we'll make reasonable efforts to point it out on the site.
- We may change, suspend, or discontinue parts of the site.
- If a part of these terms can't be enforced, the rest still applies. These terms, the privacy policy, and any terms you accept for a specific event are the whole agreement between you and us about the site.
15. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California. Disputes relating to them will be handled by the courts of Los Angeles County, California, USA, unless the law requires otherwise.
