CONTACTS

We are always available to be reached by email at [email protected] Last updated: July 1st, 2020

HeySummit is not responsible for any part of the above Additional Terms and is only responsible for the Core Terms of Service stated hereunder:


HeySummit's Core Terms of Service

These Core Terms of Service (the “User Terms”) govern Your access to or use of the online and hybrid events platform and services generally described at heysummit.com and its associated services (online and offline), products, software, mobile applications, information, networks, distribution channels, components, APIs, and documentation (”Services”) offered or made available by Hey Summit Ltd. or its parents, subsidiaries, and corporate affiliates (“HeySummit” "we" "us" or “Our").

These User Terms and the Community Guidelines incorporated herein by reference, form a legally binding contract between You and us.

Review the Privacy Statement for more information on how we collect and use data relating to the use of Our services and products. The Privacy Statement is a changing policy that is also a part of these User Terms.

1. Who these terms apply to - read carefully!

You are subject to these User Terms (a “User”) if:

  • You are a “Participant” which is defined as any individual or entity that signs up for, or accesses a HeySummit account, or who attends, participates in, or interacts at, an Event. Examples include without limitation, individual Event attendees and speakers; or
  • You are a “Team Member” which is defined as any individual or entity that is affiliated with the Host (see below) and that uses or accesses the Services in any way. Examples include without limitation, event managers, agencies, consultants, contractors, sponsors, and exhibitors.

The term “Host” refers to the company, entity, institution, organisation, or individual who is the public facing “brand” of the virtual or hybrid event (“Event”). A Host could be a company, or an individual.

If the Host enters into customer terms with HeySummit, such as the HeySummit’s Platform Terms or other HeySummit customer agreement (including agreements provided to the Host via a referral partner), it is a direct customer of HeySummit.

If the Host is not a direct customer of HeySummit, it typically means that the Host acquired the right to use the Services via a third party reseller or agency, in which case the Host’s use of the Services are governed by its agreement with that reseller or agency.

In each case above, the Host is subject to those separate customer and/or reseller or agency terms, and the Host’s Participants and Team Members are subject to these User Terms; provided however that if You are the individual who is both the Host and the named HeySummit account holder, these User Terms also apply to Your use of the account and Services in Your capacity as a Team Member.

1.1 HeySummit’s role

Events are organised and administered by the Host, not HeySummit. We are a third party providing the Services and its incorporated technology platforms (the “Platform”) to facilitate an Event taking place. For the purpose of this Agreement, the Services includes the Platform.

We are not responsible and cannot be held liable for any matters described in the Host Responsibility section (below).

1.2 Host’s responsibilities

The Host has full control over the running of any Event. This includes the invitee list, when Events are created and how they are configured, and what functionality and third-party integrations are available for use at each Event.

The Host is solely responsible:

  • if an Event is cancelled;
  • for how an Event is run;
  • for ticket and merchandise sales and donation handling;
  • for marketing activities related to the Event;
  • for promotions, contests, and sweepstakes offered in connection with the Event;
  • for informing Participants of any relevant policies and practices and securing agreements and consents with its Participants including but not being limited to additional privacy statements and additional terms of service;
  • for any content produced or provided;
  • Ensure that the adequate permission is sought by each and every Participant when creating an account on their behalf and that You act in compliance with GDPR when using the Platform;
  • for any activities carried out during an Event; and
  • for monitoring and managing the conduct of Users.

It is solely the Host’s responsibility to respond to and resolve any dispute between the Host and any Participant or Team Member. The Host may also block or revoke a User’s access to its Event at any time and in its sole discretion.

HeySummit’s customer success team and mechanisms may be used to support such resolutions but it will be up to the Host to ensure the relevant information is provided to HeySummit and to troubleshoot an adequate resolution for HeySummit to assist and is therefore still the sole responsibility of the Host.

The Host will remain responsible for any resolution and the support of HeySummit throughout the resolution processes.

2. Right to use HeySummit

2.1. License

Subject to these User Terms, We grant You a limited, non-sublicensable license to access and use HeySummit:

  • where You are a Team Member, for the internal business purposes of the Host only, to create, organise and host Events on HeySummit; and
  • where You are a Participant, to attend and participate in Events for Your personal, non-commercial purposes only, subject to any Additional Terms of Service imposed by the Host.

  • access, collect, harvest or modify any information, content or data related to the Services using any robot, spider, scraper or other automated means or any manual process for any purpose, or attempt to decipher any transmissions to or from the servers running HeySummit;

If You believe a Contribution infringes Your intellectual property rights, see Our Copyright Infringement Policy in Our Community Guidelines.

3.2 Personal data in Contributions

As between HeySummit and the Host, the Host is the data controller of recordings of Event content, including any of Your personal data embedded therein. We explain Our role as the data processor of such personal data in the Privacy Statement but we strongly encourage You to review the privacy notices and policies of the Host and other participants in the Event as applicable.

We are not responsible for the usage of your personal data by the Host and the Host understands that it is not the responsibility of HeySummit to make the usage by the Host of User’s personal data. HeySummit is solely responsible for their role in processing of personal data as set out by the Privacy Statement.

It is the responsibility of the Host to ensure any additional processing or usage of personal data is made clear to the data subject and explained clearly before conducting the Event.

3.3 Children’s Data

You may not use the Services to collect data directly from children under the age of 13. In respect of any Event attended by children under the age of 13, a parent or legal guardian, as applicable, must register the minor and/or purchase the ticket on their behalf.

3.4 Limited License to Contributions

Solely in connection with Your interaction with the applicable Event, You grant to HeySummit a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, sublicensable, transferable, perpetual, irrevocable, license to the Contributions to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, distribute, perform and display such Contributions in any form, format, media, and channel.

You agree to execute any documents necessary to effect the foregoing assignment, waivers, or consents.
