Welcome to the terms and conditions for Eventer.ge.

Eventer.ge acts as an agent facilitating the sale of Tickets to Events on behalf of Promoters (all as defined below). We therefore enter this agreement with you in our own right and on behalf of the Promoters.

These terms and conditions are divided into 2 parts:
1. Those relating to Ticket purchases made by you from the Promoter(s) of the Event(s) which you have selected via our Website (the "Ticket Purchase Terms"); and
2. Those relating to your use of this Website (the "Website Terms")


The expression "terms and conditions" is used to describe the combined provisions of the Ticket Purchase Terms and of the Website Terms.

1. Definition of Terms In these terms and conditions;

1.1. "we" and "us"- Eventer.ge Ltd (registered as a company in Georgia, number 424069091), whose registered office is at Purtseladze str. 3, Tbilisi, Georgia, 0105
1.2. "Event" - the individual event or events advertised on our Website for which Tickets are available.
1.3. "Promoter" - a third party supplier or suppliers of Tickets for the Events which may include a venue, band, promoter or Event organiser.

1.5. "Website" - the website on which we make Tickets available and from which we promote Events.
1.6. "you" - an individual purchasing tickets using this Website.
