Right of Admission

The venue and event organizer reserve the right of admission. At their discretion they may refuse entry to individuals for reasons presented but not limited to:

Account – Subscription – Payments – Service Access

By opening an Account (registering for a username/password), subscribing for the Service, and paying a service fee (the “Service Fee”) you are allowed to use the respective Service for a certain period of time. In case of payment by credit card, a third party credit card service provider is handling the payment process. The Service Fee will be charged in USD (United States Dollars). “GuestQueue” will appear on your credit card statement. At the time of checkout, GuestQueue will obtain an authorization from the credit card you have provided. Once GuestQueue receives the credit card authorization, GuestQueue will grant you access to the Service. Access to the Service will generally be granted after receipt of the Service Fee on our account.

If you have any questions about payments, charging and Service Fee, please contact us directly at payments at guestqueue dot com. If you dispute any charges on your card without speaking to us first, your Account might be suspended and all data (including Guest Lists) may be deleted with immediate effect.

GuestQueue reserves the right to charge and/or increase the Service Fee for access to the Service at any time. However, in no event will you be charged for access to the Service unless GuestQueue obtains your prior consent to pay such charges. You shall pay all fees and charges incurred through your Account at the rates in effect for the billing period in which such fees and charges are incurred.

GuestQueue shall not be liable whatsoever for any damages incurred by or in connection with such add-on Services subject to the terms of this Agreement. You are aware that GuestQueue may use third parties in order to provide the respective add-on Services.

Pricing (Service Fee) – Services

Service Fee

Once you have paid the Service Fee, GuestQueue will grant you access to the Service. By paying the Service Fee, GuestQueue will grant you access to use the Service as follows:

Upgrades are available and are calculated based on daily price then multiplied by the amount of days in the current subscription.

Manual alteration between Service plans is not available. Users that wish to downgrade Service plans must wait until their current subscription expires.

Pay As You Go

SMS/Text Credits

SMS/Text messaging is an add on service and must be purchased separately from the Service Fee. SMS/Text credits do not expire as long as your account is active. SMS/Text messages are sent using a third party.

GuestQueue will bill per message, not per request. For example, if you send a message with 200 characters to a US mobile number, you are charged 2 SMS/Text credits. Note that special header needs to be appended to handle concatenated messages, so each segment can only contain up to 153 characters.

As part of the SMPP specifications, when we receive a request that includes more than 160 characters we must split up the messages in order to send them. They will then be reassembled into a single message on most handsets.

GuestQueue does not guarantee the delivery of any sent text message.

GuestQueue does not provide a cancellation period for any subscription or credit services. Accordingly your purchase cannot be cancelled once paid and will not be refunded if not used. However, if you believe that GuestQueue has charged you in error, you must contact us within 10 days of such charge. No refunds will be given for any charges more than 10 days old. GuestQueue reserves the right to refuse refund requests, if you are in breach of these terms and conditions under this Agreement. This refund policy does not affect your statutory rights.

SMS Marketing

You represent and warrant that the owners of the phone numbers you initiate messages to through the GuestQueue services have consented or otherwise opted-in to the receipt of such messages and broadcasts as required by any applicable law or regulation. You agree that you will include clear opt-out/unsubscribe information on your messages when required to do so by any applicable law or regulation and otherwise adhere to the Consumer Best Practices Guidelines promulgated by the Mobile Marketing Association, if applicable to your messages. You further agree that any individuals requesting “Do-Not-Call” (“DNC”) status shall immediately be placed on your DNC accounts list and you further agree that you will not initiate any subsequent messages to any individuals after they request DNC status.

You agree to familiarize yourself with and abide by all applicable local, state, national and international laws and regulations and are solely responsible for all acts or omissions that occur under your account, including without limitation the content of the messages that you create and initiate through the GuestQueue Services.

You shall schedule your messages responsibly and in a manner that is courteous to the recipients pursuant to local, state, national, and international calling time rules and regulations.

The early termination of the Service before the end of the respective subscription period by you is not available. Further, in the event that your Account is cancelled for violation of the terms and policies as stated in this Agreement, you will not be refunded.
