Legal
Five documents. One binds everybody, one is a promise about your data, and three cover the roles that touch money. Whichever ones are yours, you agreed to them at a checkbox — not in fine print under a button you had already pressed.
Pre-launch draft. Groovity has not opened to the public. These are published so that everything the product does is written down before anyone is asked to rely on it, and they are subject to legal review before the first pass is sold.
The terms every Groovity account is opened under, and every pass is bought under. If you use Groovity in any way, this is the agreement.
Your dataPrivacy PolicyWhat Groovity collects, why, who sees it, and what you can do about it. Written to be read, not to be survived.
For organizersOrganizer AgreementThe terms you run events under: who sells, who holds the money, who owes a refund, and who carries what when something goes wrong.
For promotersPromoter AgreementWhat you get, what you owe, and the rules that stop an organizer moving the rate out from under work you have already done.
For sponsorsSponsor TermsWhat a credit on an event means, what an offer can be, and the things a sponsor can never have here at any price.
How they fit together
The Terms of Service bind everyone, and they are the only place arbitration, the liability limits and the governing law are written down. The three role documents add to them rather than replacing them — and where a role document conflicts with the Terms about its own subject, the role document wins.
The reason for that shape is simple enough to state: a guest buying one pass should not have to read about chargeback allocation, and an organizer should not have to hunt through a guest’s document to find out who funds a refund. Splitting them keeps each one short enough to actually be read. Defining the dispute clause once keeps five copies of it from drifting apart.
Something unclear, or something that reads as if it were written to be misunderstood? hello (at) groovity (dot) co. That is a real address and a badly worded clause is a bug.
