Seller Services Agreement

Suites & Premium Seating

I. Introduction and Definitions

We are SH Suites LLC, a limited liability company formed in the state of Colorado. We operate a marketplace, including this website (the "Website"), called "SuiteHop.com." In this Seller Services Agreement, we sometimes call ourselves "SuiteHop" or "we," and we sometimes refer to you, the seller or user, as "you," "user," or "Seller." We call all of the words in these terms and conditions the "Seller Services Agreement," and we use other labels, set forth within parentheses, to refer to the meanings that we assign to those labels in this Seller Services Agreement.

II. Here's How It Works

We offer an online ticket resale marketplace and facilitate transactions between you and prospective buyers of your event tickets, admissions, or licenses and related passes, services, and goods (collectively called a "Package"). You post a listing to sell a Package on the Website.

In order to list a Package for sale, you must accurately provide to us all relevant information including, but not limited to, the event name, type of admission or accommodation, and all other additional premiums, services, amenities, and descriptive or qualifying information and restrictions. Your listing can identify shared (by the seat) or private (entire suite or space) accommodations. You may describe the Package location within the venue using the seat assignment or identification convention provided or used by the venue at which the event is held.

When a prospective buyer submits an offer to buy the Package, we notify you by email, and you agree to reply to us by email within twenty-four (24) hours whether you accept or decline the offer to buy. If you accept the offer and if the Package consists of or includes physical tickets or other items, you also tell us latest date by which you will ship the Package to us. Normally, we will ask you to ship the Package within two (2) business days after you accept the offer. We will confirm the transaction with you by email that includes final shipping instructions.

You agree to immediately deliver the Package to us, unless we specify otherwise, using the air bill we provide. We typically provide a FedEx air bill, but we can choose another carrier in our sole discretion. If you are authorizing transfer of the Package electronically, we will notify you by email of confirmation of the transaction with transfer directions and you agree to authorize the transfer according to our instructions. You ship the Package or authorize electronic transfer. We approve payment to you and start the payment process, which normally takes place within ten (10) business days after we send you the email confirming the transaction.

We respect your privacy and typically avoid unnecessary contact with you. However, we may sometimes need to contact you to check on an offer to buy, confirm a transaction, or for other reasons. You agree that we may contact you by telephone or email using the telephone or email information you provide to us.
