Terms of Service

Last updated:

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the HOCOplus platform, websites, and services (collectively, the "Service"), operated by Brigade Management, Inc., a Texas corporation, doing business as HOCOplus ("HOCOplus," "we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. The Service

HOCOplus provides an online platform that enables hosts to create, publish, and manage events and to offer free registration or paid tickets, and enables attendees to discover events and register for or purchase tickets. HOCOplus is a technology provider and is not the organizer of any event listed on the Service.

2. Accounts

You must provide accurate information and keep it current. You are responsible for safeguarding your account credentials and for all activity under your account. You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, to create a host account.

3. Host responsibilities

If you create or host events, you are solely responsible for your events, event content, pricing, communications with attendees, and compliance with all applicable laws, including tax, licensing, and consumer-protection requirements. You are responsible for honoring the events and tickets you offer, and for any refunds you agree to provide.

4. Payments, fees, and payouts

Subscription plans are billed in advance on a recurring basis until cancelled. For paid tickets, payment processing and host payouts are handled through our third-party payment provider, and your use of those services is subject to the provider's terms. HOCOplus charges a platform fee of five percent (5%) on paid ticket sales, in addition to any payment-processing fees. You authorize us and our payment provider to deduct applicable fees before remitting funds. Except as required by law, fees are non-refundable.

5. Attendee responsibilities

Tickets and registrations are offered by hosts, not by HOCOplus. Any dispute regarding an event, its content, or a refund is between you and the host. You agree to provide accurate information when registering or purchasing.

6. Acceptable use

You agree not to use the Service to: violate any law; post false, misleading, infringing, or unlawful content; host events that are fraudulent or harmful; interfere with or disrupt the Service; attempt unauthorized access; or use the Service to transmit malware or spam. We may remove content or suspend accounts that violate these Terms.

7. Content

You retain ownership of content you submit, and you grant HOCOplus a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, display, and distribute that content as necessary to operate and promote the Service. You represent that you have the rights necessary to grant this license.

8. Intellectual property

The Service, including its software, design, and trademarks, is owned by HOCOplus and its licensors and is protected by law. These Terms do not grant you any right to our trademarks or branding.

9. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE, OR THAT ANY EVENT WILL TAKE PLACE AS DESCRIBED.

10. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, HOCOPLUS AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE. IN NO EVENT WILL OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE TOTAL AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO HOCOPLUS IN THE THREE (3) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100). THESE LIMITATIONS APPLY REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY AND EVEN IF A REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless HOCOplus and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or in any way connected with: (a) your use of the Service; (b) your events, content, or ticket sales; (c) your violation of these Terms; or (d) your violation of any law or the rights of any third party.

12. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms or to protect the Service or other users. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination will survive.

13. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. You agree that the exclusive venue for any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be the state or federal courts located in Texas, and you consent to their jurisdiction.

14. Changes

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, provide additional notice. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
