 THIS AGREEMENT COVERS IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE PLATFORM.

1. Scope and Acceptance

Anyone who accesses or uses any part of the Platform is a “User.” The Agreement sets forth your rights and obligations as a User with respect to your access to and use of the Platform and use of any and all information or data of any kind arising from access to or use of the Platform, including, without limitation, any text, graphics, images, art work, sound recordings, audio, video, and software.

We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to change this Agreement (including the Privacy Policy) from time to time, without prior notice. You are responsible for reviewing the Agreement regularly. Your access to any part of the Platform is deemed to be your acceptance of this Agreement, and any changes thereto.

If you are accessing or using any part of the Platform on behalf of any business, organization, or other entity of any kind, you represent and warrant that you are authorized (a) to accept these terms on its behalf and (b) to bind such business, organization, or entity to the Agreement.

2. Privacy Policy

Please see our Privacy Policy for a detailed description of how we collect, use, and disclose information about our Users.

3. Description of the Platform

Batch is the provider of the Batch Platform, which permits Users to plan and/or participate in a party—such as a bachelor or bachelorette party—or other similar event. To begin using the Platform as a User, you may create an account by providing your first and last name, a username, and a password. You may also authenticate to the Platform and link your account to a social media or other online account (e.g., Facebook or Google), or opt to sign in using your e-mail address. If you choose to authenticate with a third-party account, please carefully review and confirm the permissions requested and any third-party terms and conditions applicable to the use of such online account to authenticate to the Platform.

Once you have created a Batch account, you may provide other information about yourself to complete your profile such as, e.g., a photo and a short biography. Unless expressly noted otherwise within the Platform, the information you add to your profile is made public to other Users of the Platform. You may also send invitations to your contacts to join the Platform, e.g., in the course of organizing a party.

Once you’ve established a User profile, you may create a party profile page for a particular type of party (e.g., a bachelor or bachelorette party) to which you may invite others to join. The User that establishes the party profile page functions as the “Group Manager.” Invitees who choose to join the Platform and access the party (“Group Members”) will be able to interact with the Group Manager, other Group Members, and other Users of the Platform. For example, Users may organize a party; invite others to join the party; communicate with other Users through messaging and chat features; share photos and other content; create group and individual budgets for the party based on certain inputs; research, make, and pay for bookings and reservations with Platform vendors for events, accommodations, travel, and other products and services related to the party (“Vendors”); communicate with Vendors; rate Vendor products and services; provide feedback to Vendors; view party schedules and itineraries; receive notifications about the party; and identify and connect and communicate with Users organizing or participating in other parties planned for the same time and location.

The Group Manager has the most control within the group: s/he dictates and controls all travel plans, decides where to go and stay, and determines the party activities. For example, a Group Manager may book Packages, while the other Group Members may only suggest Packages and cannot book on behalf of the party. The Group Manager would then add the Package to the cart, and then the cart would be evenly split among Group Members. The Group Manager would have the ability to select which Group Members are paying, and will be able to notify them once payment is due. Despite the Group Manager’s control, s/he still needs consent of all Group Members from whom payment will be received.

The specific features and functionality of the Platform are dynamic and may change from time to time. We reserve complete discretion with respect to the operation of the Platform. We also reserve the right to withdraw, suspend, or discontinue any feature or functionality of the Platform at any time.

4. Registration

You agree, represent, and warrant that you shall at all times provide accurate information when registering as a User and when using the Platform and that you shall update and maintain as accurate all such information during your use of the Platform. You may update the information in your profile, change your password, manage notifications, visit the Help Center, view this Agreement, and change your settings within the Platform.

5. Fees and Non-Circumvention

5.1 Fees
We will make commercially reasonable efforts to display and explain all applicable fees and payments. Our current fee and payment policy can be delivered by request. Note that some fees are paid to Batch and some are paid directly to a Vendor. Additionally, fees charged by a Vendor may include fees payable by the Vendor to Batch. For example, the Platform offers Packages of different services. When a Group Member selects a Package and receives consent for payment from all or selected Group Members, the Platform initially collects total payment for the Package. Different Packages result in different fee collection protocols. Batch’s Partner Vendors connect with Batch’s Application Programming Interface (“API”). However, if a User books a Package involving non-Partner Vendors, then the Vendors receive their fair share of the payment after Batch has processed the transaction. The fee and payment policy may change at any time and from time to time in our sole discretion. We may contract with one or more third parties to facilitate the processing of fees and payments.

Fees are non-refundable; provided, however, that Batch may review and modify the fees charged and payments made in any transaction, in its sole discretion, based on any complaint or report of special circumstances concerning a transaction.

Batch may make promotional offers with different features and different rates for products and services offered through the Platform. These promotional offers, unless made to you, shall have no bearing whatsoever on your access to and use of the Platform.

5.2 Non-Circumvention
Batch generates revenue by charging a fee when a User purchases a product or service from a Vendor through the Platform, which fee may be paid by the User and/or by the Vendor. Batch relies on this revenue to provide and further develop the Platform. You acknowledge and agree that Batch commits significant resources to providing the Platform and connecting Users and Vendors, such connections are valuable to Users and Vendors, and Batch would be significantly harmed if Users and Vendors circumvented use of the Platform once they are introduced and connected through the Platform. You agree that when you use the Platform as a User and you are introduced to a Vendor, you shall use good faith efforts to engage such Vendor through the Platform and not to solicit, accept a solicitation from, or otherwise circumvent the Platform to make bookings and reservations or to engage in transactions for the purchase of products or services that could be made through the Platform.

No failure or delay in enforcing any provision, exercising any option, or requiring performance, shall be construed to be a waiver of that or any other right in connection with the Agreement.

No action arising out of this Agreement or your access to or use of the Platform, regardless of form or the basis of the claim, may be brought by you more than one (1) year after the cause of action has arisen (or if multiple causes, from the date the first such cause arose) and you hereby waive any longer statute of limitations that may be permitted by law.

If Batch does take any legal action against you as a result of your violation of the Agreement, Batch will be entitled to recover from you, and you agree to pay, all reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of such action, in addition to any other relief granted to Batch. You agree that Batch will not be liable to you or to any third party for termination of your access to or use of any part of the Platform as a result of any breach of the Agreement or for any reason at all.
