Consumer Terms of Service/Buyer Agreement for EverSince Inc. 

Last Updated: June 09, 2022

Welcome to www.eversince.club! You are now reading our EverSince Terms of Service (“Terms”), an agreement between you and EverSince Inc. (“EverSince,” “we” or “us”) which governs your access to our platform and services which we offer via www.eversince.club and our other websites (collectively, the “Website”).

To make these Terms easier to read, our online platform and service, and the Website are collectively called the “Services.” You must read the Terms carefully before you use the Services. If you have any questions feel free to send us a note at [email protected]. We will happily answer any questions you have.

Defined Terms

You’ll notice that some words appear in quotes in the Terms. They’re called “defined terms,” and we use them so we don’t have to repeat the same language again and again, and to make sure that the Terms are consistent.  We’ve included the defined terms throughout because we want it to be easy for you to read them in context.

Agreement to our Terms

By accessing or using our Services you agree to be bound by these Terms, whether or not you have registered with the Services, you are an End User (defined below) or a Luminary (defined below). These Terms govern the terms on which all Experiences are made available on the Site.

If you don’t agree, then you shouldn’t, and in fact aren’t permitted to use the Services. If you are accessing and using the Services on behalf of a company (such as your employer) or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that company or other legal entity to these Terms. In that case, “you” and “your” will refer to that company or other legal entity.

Certain areas of the Site or features of the Services may have additional terms and you should read those additional terms. For example, if you enter a sweepstakes, you will be bound to the terms specific to that sweepstakes. If there’s a conflict between these Terms and the additional terms, the additional terms will govern your use of those areas of the Site or features of the Services.

Changes to these Terms or the Services

We can change these Terms at any time. If we do so, we’ll let you know either by posting the changed Terms on the Site or through other communications. We’ll also update the “Last Updated Date” at the top of these Terms. It’s important that you review the changed Terms because if you continue to use the Services after we’ve provided notice of the change, you’re telling us that you agree to be bound by the changed Terms. If you don’t agree to be bound by the changed Terms then you’re not allowed to use the Services anymore. We’re always striving to make the Services better and because they’re evolving over time we may change or discontinue all or any part of the Services, at any time and without notice, at our discretion.

We are a Platform Service Provider

Through the Services, we offer an online platform to allow individuals (each an “End User”) to view, purchase and bid for Experiences offered by Luminaries. This means that we act as an intermediary between the End User and the Luminary and our responsibilities under these Terms are limited to facilitating the availability of the Services and collecting payments on behalf of the Luminary.

“Experiences” means the (a) items, goods, collectables, rarities, or other products in physical or digital form (collectively, the “Products”) and (b) experiences including in-person experiences and virtual experiences, offered by the Luminary via the Services.   “Experience Listing” means the description of the Experience including, but not limited to, the price of the Experience and the date and time, as applicable. “Luminary” means a person or entity that has accepted these EverSince Terms and the EverSince Luminary Addendum, and offers an Experience via the Services; in the case of Experiences involving the sale of alcoholic beverages, the seller is the alcoholic beverage licensee who is offering alcoholic beverages for sale. “Member” means a person that completes our Account registration process, including End Users and Luminaries.

The Luminary, not EverSince is responsible for honouring the purchase of any Experience. The Luminary may require you, as an End User, to enter into an agreement with the Luminary and you acknowledge that if you fail to do so, you may not be able to participate in the Experience; in such an event, you may not receive a refund or exchange for the purchase of your Experience.  Some Experiences include the ability to interact with a Luminary. We do not, and cannot control interactions with Luminaries; we expressly disclaim any liability arising from such interactions. As an End User, you may be required to sign and return a waiver and liability release before you participate in an Experience.

Using the Services

Eligibility

You can only use the Services if you are 18 years or older and are not barred from using the Services under applicable law. Additionally, in order to offer or purchase some Experiences, you must be 21 years or older at the time you offer, or purchase, the Experience.

Registration

If you want to use certain features of the Services you’ll need to create an account with a username and password (an “Account”) and become a Member.  You can do this via our Site or through your account with certain third-party social networking services such as Facebook or Google (each, an “SNS Account”). If you choose the SNS Account option we’ll create your Account by extracting from your SNS Account certain personal information such as your name and email address and other personal information that your privacy settings on the SNS Account permit us to access.

It’s important that you provide us with accurate and complete information and you promise to keep your Account information up to date. If you don’t, we may have to suspend or terminate your Account. You agree not to share your password and you’ll let us know if there is any unauthorised use of your Account. You’re responsible for all activities that occur under your Account and you’ll immediately tell us about any unauthorised use of your Account

Becoming a Luminary

You can apply to become a Luminary by completing the application profile via your Account page. Please see our Luminary Support page Luminary FAQ for additional information regarding becoming a Luminary. EverSince reserves the right to approve or reject any Luminary application, for any reason.  If you are approved and you agree to the terms and conditions of the “Luminary Addendum” made available to you in connection with the application process, you will be deemed a Luminary.  The Luminary Addendum contains terms regarding the creation and posting of Experience Listings, how and what Luminaries get paid for their Experiences and other terms specific to a Luminary’s provision of Experiences in connection with the Services.

Payments and Cancellations/Returns

Upon completion of a purchase on the Website (and upon determination by EverSince that you are the successful buyer, if applicable) for the Experience, you will be liable to pay the total purchase price presented at checkout (“Total Purchase Price”), which may include applicable tariffs, customs, duties or taxes (including any value-added taxes).  

When you initiate a purchase transaction or request to schedule an Experience via the Services, you will be asked to provide us with customary billing information such as your name, billing address and credit card information. As an End User, you agree to pay EverSince (on behalf of the Luminary and Charity, if applicable) for any transactions made in connection with your Account by one of the payment methods described on the Website.

Wire transfers are permitted for orders above $50,000. EverSince will confirm payment receipt before we will ship or fulfil the item or experience. Contact an EverSince Concierge for more details on wire transfers.

You hereby authorise the collection of such amounts by EverSince by charging your selected payment method. In addition, you agree that EverSince may charge your payment method for verification and pre-authorisation purposes and you agree to bear any additional charges that your bank or other financial service provider may levy on you. “Charity” means the non-profit organisation that will receive a portion of the proceeds from Experiences sold via the Services. A portion of the amounts paid for Experiences will go to a designated Charity and we help with making sure that the applicable amounts are routed to the applicable Charity.

As an End User, the type of Experience you order impacts when you are charged for your purchase. The process for cancellations and refund eligibility also varies depending on the type of Experience. It is your responsibility to review the confirmation email(s) to verify the accuracy of the information relating to the Experience.

 Physical Products

Payment: Upon the completion of your purchase, we will immediately validate your credit card. Upon shipment, your card will be charged. In some cases, you may request to delay the shipment of the Product purchased. If you agree to delay shipping, you also permit EverSince or the Luminary to charge you for the order on the date that you submit your shipment delay request.  In the case of custom or personalised items, your card will be charged when the Luminary initiates the customisation or personalisation of your item.

Cancellations/Returns: Due to the nature of our Products, the majority of items on our site are not returnable. Unfortunately, we cannot be responsible for an item once it has shipped. However, if a product arrives in a condition otherwise stated during the purchase, we would be happy to assist you in addressing the matter. Please reach out to our Concierge teams at [email protected].

Items that are returnable will be designated as so on their product page on EverSince.club. Returned physical items must be unused, unworn, unwashed, and undamaged. We are unable to accept returns of goods that are not in their original packaging. Products must be in the condition you received them and in the original box and/or packaging. If a return and/or refund is approved, it will be credited to your credit card account or via wire to your bank within three business days of the date we either receive the returned merchandise or resolve your complaint.  To find out if your item is returnable, please contact our Concierge teams via phone or email and be sure to include your order number and explain the problem so that we can most efficiently help you.

Digital Products

Payment: Upon the completion of your purchase, we will immediately validate your credit card and charge you for your purchase amount.

Cancellations/Returns: Due to the nature of our digital products, these products are not returnable or refundable.

Virtual & In-person Experiences

Any related fees for telephony or connectivity, travel, food or lodging are the sole responsibility of the buyer (or consumer) unless otherwise specified on the relevant product page, EverSince Terms of Service, and/or receipt.

For “Events”, experiences with a set time and location:

Payment: Upon the completion of your purchase, we will immediately validate your credit card and charge you for your purchase amount.

Cancellations/Returns: Event tickets purchased from our site are neither returnable nor refundable, unless the Event is cancelled and not rescheduled within 30 days. 

“Group Buy Events” are experiences with a set time and location that require a minimum number of tickets to be sold. The following terms apply to Group Buy Events:

The minimum must be reached by a certain date in order for the event to take place. We require our luminaries to set this date at least 7 days before the event date in order to provide ample time for you to know whether the event will occur. All guests who have purchased tickets will be notified when the minimum has been reached.

Payment: Upon the completion of your purchase, we will immediately validate your credit card and charge you for your purchase amount.

Cancellations/Returns: If the minimum is not met, the event will be cancelled and we will notify all customers who have purchased tickets. Since you are charged for your ticket(s) at the time of purchase, we will automatically refund the amount you have paid for your ticket(s) and cancel your order if the event is cancelled.

For “Experiences”, where scheduling (time and/or location), must be agreed upon:

Payment: Upon the completion of your purchase, we will immediately validate your credit card and charge you for your purchase amount. For Experiences that require the End User and Luminary to agree on particulars like the time and location for the Experience, both the End User and Luminary are sent confirmation emails when those details are confirmed by those parties via the Services (“Booking Confirmed”).  In the event that the End User and Luminary cannot come to an agreement regarding the particulars, and EverSince is unsuccessful in finding a suitable alternative, a refund will be made to the End User for the purchase amount.

Cancellations/Returns: Once Booking Confirmed, experiences purchased from our sites are final sale (neither returnable nor refundable), unless:

You experience technical problems (for virtual experiences) due to an error on our part or unless the relevant Luminary fails to fulfil the connection or experience AND the experience cannot be rescheduled within 30 days, you will receive a refund to your credit card or bank via wire OR

Canceled by the Luminary AND the experience cannot be rescheduled within 30 days, you will receive a refund to your credit card or bank via wire.

In the event that the customer and Luminary are unable to schedule the experience within a year of the original purchase, the customer will be awarded Site credit equal to the purchase amount for use on the Site.

Experiences as Gifts 

If the Buyer chooses to give an experience as a gift, upon the completion of your purchase, we will immediately validate your credit card and charge you for your purchase amount. In the event that the gift recipient and Luminary are unable to agree upon particulars, the gift recipient will be awarded Site credit equal to the purchase amount for use on the Site.

Talent’s right to terminate experiences at will: Note that a virtual or in-person experience can be disrupted and/or discontinued without warning at any time—and with no refund to you—should the Luminary become uncomfortable with the conversation or interaction for any reason.

We do not permit reporters or other members of the media to purchase experiences with our Luminary partners for the purpose of conducting an interview for broadcast or publication. If the Luminary determines that you are in fact attempting to conduct an interview for broadcast or publication, she or he is fully within their rights to terminate the experience with no refund to you.

In either of these cases, please email our Concierge team with your order number immediately so that we can assist you in rescheduling the experience or—if that is not possible—processing your refund.

Shipping and Fulfilment

Physical Products

With some exceptions, physical items (“Product(s)”) sold through EverSince are shipped via major shipping companies like DHL and Fedex. Luminaries depending on the item, ship internationally.  Neither EverSince nor any Luminary has any obligation to ship any Product to a location where delivery is restricted or prohibited by applicable law. Should you have a question regarding shipping, please contact our Concierge team customer care.

If you are the successful buyer of a Product, shipping, handling, and insurance (“Shipping”) of items is incremental to the list price (unless otherwise stated on the product page). If Shipping is not included in the price of an item, the estimated cost for Shipping will be included at checkout in the order process. Neither EverSince nor the Luminary are responsible for the acts or omissions of carriers or packers of purchases.

You must supply a street address for delivery of Products purchased on the Site. Neither EverSince nor the Luminary will ship Products to a post office box.

You (the buyer) are responsible for any and all customs, duties, or refusals to allow the shipment to the location specified of such goods. When the Luminary delivers the Product to the carrier for shipment to you, title to the Product and risk of loss will pass from the Luminary to you. If the Product is damaged in transit, you should contact the carrier. EverSince and the Luminary are not obligated to take a Product back if it was damaged in transit. 

Digital Products, Virtual & In-person Experiences

Digital Products, virtual experiences and in-person experiences purchased via our Site are coordinated via our platform, email, and/or telephone.

Digital Products are delivered via email, through your accounts page on our platform, and/or via a social network.

Experiences are delivered via Internet (video conferencing platforms and/or social networks such as Facebook and Twitter) or in-person.

Transactions Involving Alcoholic Beverages

Experiences that include alcoholic beverages may only be purchased by individuals, including without limitation End Users, who are at least eighteen (18) years old (“Legal Age”). At the time of delivery of any Products containing alcoholic beverages ordered by you using the Site, the shipper will require the signature of an adult possessing identification proving he or she is of Legal Age. You expressly represent and warrant that: (a) you are of Legal Age; and (b) you will provide bona fide identification showing your Legal Age to the shipper or Alcohol Seller of any lots that include alcoholic beverages.

The price of alcoholic beverages is determined by the licensed entity selling such products, and we do not receive profits from the sale of specific alcoholic beverage products. When you place an order for a Product containing alcoholic beverages using the Site (“Alcoholic Beverage Order”), such Alcoholic Beverage Order will be either accepted or rejected by the licensed entity to whom the Alcoholic Beverage Order was placed (“Alcohol Seller”). Neither EverSince nor any Luminary has any authority to accept your Alcoholic Beverage Order, and no sale pursuant to your Alcoholic Beverage Order will become final unless and until Alcohol Seller accepts your Alcoholic Beverage Order. For any Alcoholic Beverage Order accepted by Alcohol Seller (such accepted sale an “Alcoholic Beverage Purchase”), your credit card will be charged, and the funds from your credit card payment that relates to the Alcoholic Beverage Purchase will be deposited into an account for the benefit of Alcohol Seller in compliance with applicable alcoholic beverage laws.  Note that we do charge a platform fee in connection with the use of our service unrelated to the price of alcohol.

No Endorsement

We don’t plan, host, operate, or provide the Experiences. We also don’t endorse, verify, vouch for, investigate or vet any Members or Experiences.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, EverSince reserves the right to conduct by itself, or by third party service providers, background checks on End Users. We’re not responsible for estimates, descriptions, condition, authenticity, title or any other matters relating to the offer and sale of any Experiences. Information about Experiences is provided by the Luminary and we do not verify the accuracy of this information. We’re also not responsible for any personal injury, damage or harm resulting from your provision or purchase of, or participation in, any Experience or your interaction with any Member.  By using the Services you agree that any legal remedy or liability that you seek to obtain arising from or related to an Experience, (including, without limitation, your Experience Listing or provision of any Experience) will be limited to a claim against the particular Member or other third parties who caused you harm and you agree not to attempt to impose liability on EverSince, or seek any legal remedy from EverSince with respect to Experiences.

We do not place a cap on the total amount of contributions provided to any one Charity; nor do we guarantee to provide a minimum dollar amount of contributions to any one Charity.

IN NO EVENT WILL EVERSINCE’S TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS, FROM THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES OR CONTENT, OR THE PARTICIPATION IN OR PROVISION OF  EXPERIENCES, IF YOU ARE AN END USER, EXCEED THE AMOUNTS YOU HAVE PAID TO EVERSINCE FOR EXPERIENCES IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIOD PRECEDING THE CLAIM OR ACTION, OR IF YOU ARE A LUMINARY, THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY EverSince TO YOU UNDER THESE TERMS IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIOD PRECEDING THE CLAIM OF ACTION, OR ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS (HK$1000.00), IF NO SUCH PAYMENT HAS BEEN MADE, AS APPLICABLE.

THE EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS OF DAMAGES SET FORTH ABOVE ARE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN EVERSINCE AND YOU.

Governing Law

These Terms and any action related thereto will be governed by the laws of the Hong Kong Special Administration Region without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.

Dispute Resolution

Unless you have entered into an additional agreement with EverSince that provides for an alternative dispute resolution mechanism, you agree that any dispute arising between you and EverSince will be governed by the arbitration procedure outlined below.

Informal Dispute Resolution

We want to address your concerns without needing a formal legal case. Before filing a claim against EverSince, you agree to try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting [email protected]. We'll try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting you through email. If a dispute is not resolved within 15 days after submission, you or EverSince may bring a formal proceeding. 

We Both Agree To Arbitrate

You and EverSince agree to resolve any claims relating to these Terms through final and binding arbitration, except as set forth under Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate below.

Opt-out of Agreement to Arbitrate

You can decline this agreement to arbitrate by contacting [email protected] within 30 days of first accepting these Terms and stating that you decline this arbitration agreement. 

Arbitration Procedures

Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (HKIAC) will administer the arbitration under its The 2013 HKIAC Administered Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be held in the Hong Kong.

Arbitration Fees

The HKIAC rules will govern payment of all arbitration fees. EverSince will pay all arbitration fees for claims less than HK$100,000. EverSince will not seek its attorneys' fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines that your claim is frivolous.

Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate

Either you or EverSince may assert claims, if they qualify, in small claims court in Hong Kong. Either party may bring a lawsuit solely for injunctive relief to stop unauthorised use or abuse of the EverSince Service, or intellectual property infringement (for example, trademark, trade secret, copyright or patent rights) without first engaging in arbitration or the informal dispute-resolution process described above.

No Class Actions

You may only resolve disputes with us on an individual basis, and may not bring a claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action. Class arbitrations, class actions, private attorney general actions, and consolidation with other arbitrations aren't allowed under our agreement.

Judicial Forum for Disputes

In the event that the agreement to arbitrate is found not to apply to you or your claim, you and EverSince agree that any judicial proceeding (other than small claims actions) will be brought in Hong Kong. Both you and EverSince consent to venue and personal jurisdiction there. We both agree to waive our right to a jury trial.

General Terms

These Terms constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between EverSince and you regarding the Site, Services, Experiences, and Content, and these Terms supersede and replace any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between EverSince and you regarding the Site, Services, Experiences, and Content. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of these Terms invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.

You may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without EverSince’s prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign or transfer these Terms, without such consent, will be null and of no effect. EverSince may freely assign or transfer these Terms without restriction. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and permitted assigns.

Any notices or other communications provided by EverSince under these Terms, including those regarding modifications to these Terms, will be given: (i) via email; or (ii) by posting to the Site. For notices made by e-mail, the date of receipt will be deemed the date on which such notice is transmitted.

EverSince’s failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of future enforcement of that right or provision or of any other right or provision. The waiver of any right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorised representative of EverSince. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise.
