3.4. Users can find Venues by browsing Venues that registered with us and published their Profiles. or contact Tagvenue through "Contact Us" page, so that a Tagvenue Representative will select or suggest a suitable Venue for a User. In doing so, Tagvenue Representative will take into account the User’s preferences and requirements. Consequently, a User may send you a Booking Enquiry or, if requested by User, a Tagvenue Representative can send you a Booking Enquiry on User’s behalf which you agree to receive.

- 4.14.2. Use of Payment Processing and Online Payment Method requires a Venue Manager to provide current, accurate and complete information about a Venue and its business and you authorise Tagvenue to share this data with the Payment Processor.

Tagvenue does not control nor is responsible for how your personal information is treated by Stripe.
- 4.14.3. Tagvenue shall cover the Stripe service fees (“Payment Processing Fees”). If, however, there are any other charges and fees that a Venue is responsible for, you agree to indemnify Tagvenue in full for these charges and fees if such were paid by Tagvenue.
- 4.14.4. Each Member appoints Tagvenue to act as their limited payment collection agent solely for the limited purpose of collecting and processing the payment for the Booking. Without prejudice to the above in this clause, Tagvenue shall not assume responsibility for any acts or omissions of a Venue.
- 4.14.5. Each Member acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding that Tagvenue is not a party to the Agreement and does not act as an agent for any Member, we act as a Venue’s payment collection agent for a sole limited purpose of accepting payments from a User on behalf of a Venue. Once a User makes a payment to Tagvenue through the Payment Processor, a User’s payment obligation to a Venue Manager for the agreed amount is deemed to be discharged and Tagvenue becomes the responsible party for transferring the funds to a Venue Manager (referred to as “Payout” below) subject to the deduction of Tagvenue Commission in accordance to these Terms and Venue’s claim shall only stand against Tagvenue.
- 4.14.6. You agree that payment made through Online Payment Method by a User shall be considered the same as payment made directly to you. A Venue Manager will provide the services to a User as per the Agreement between Members as if a Venue Manager has received the payment directly from a User.
- 4.14.7. You agree that Tagvenue may refund a User in accordance with these Terms and you acknowledge that our obligation to make a Payout of funds to you:
- a) Is subject to and conditional upon successful receipt of the relevant payment from a User as consideration for a given Agreement; and

- 4.14.8. A User is charged once a Booking is confirmed and the funds in respect of that Agreement are deposited to the Tagvenue Stripe Account where they are held on trust for and on behalf of the Venue. Tagvenue will use our reasonable endeavours to initiate a Payout to a Venue Manager within 3 to 7 working days after the Event end time subject to the agreed terms of the Booking and the service provided by the Venue. Tagvenue or a Payment Processor on Tagvenue’s behalf as the case may be shall deduct the Tagvenue Commission from the total amount paid for the Booking before making a Payout of a balance to the Venue.
- 4.14.9. If there are any Additional Charges for extending the length of the Booking or other charges associated with exceeding the agreed usage of the Booking by a User, a Venue Manager must report these to Tagvenue within 72 hours after the Booking end time. Following a successful payment from a User, a Payout will then be initiated automatically to your bank account deducting the Commission payment. Depending on when Additional Charges were reported, a Payout may be made separately. Tagvenue will provide assistance in notifying Users of Additional Charges and attempting payment collection, but it does not guarantee the success of such collection or resolve disputes arising from these charges. Pursuant to Clause 3.2 and 13.9, all claims related to unpaid Additional Charges shall be asserted solely against the User.
- 4.14.10. A Payout can be withheld if a dispute is initiated between a User and a Venue Manager or otherwise permitted by these Terms. Payouts of Additional Charges for overtime or damages, or resulting from a dispute shall be paid within a reasonable time after a dispute is settled. The timing of a payout may be changed if a Booking is updated, cancelled or rescheduled. The time it takes for a Payout to reach a Venue’s account with the Payment Processor is contingent on several factors:
- a) a Venue Manager providing accurate bank account details,
- b) the banking provider used by the Venue Manager and
- c) The User’s method of payment.
- 4.14.11 Online Payment Method is mandatory:
- a) For the Events in the categories “Production”, “Meetings” and “Dry Hire” as well as other categories that Tagvenue may specify at its sole discretion; or
- b) Once you enable the Online Payment Method through your Tagvenue Account.
- 4.14.12 Without prejudice to Clause 4.14.11, processing a refundable security deposit is not currently supported through our Platform and it, therefore, is allowed to be done using another payment method of your preference communicated to your User directly through Tagvenue internal messenger. For the avoidance of doubt, all other payments must be still processed through the Tagvenue Platform.
4.15. As a part of our response to the adverse effects on the event industry in 2020, Tagvenue had made a special offer to a selected and limited number of Venues offering premises in the “Wedding” Events category and which were not previously registered on our Platform (referred to as “Wedding Promotion Venues” below):

If a Venue Manager having the Online Payments Method enabled for his Venue and/or Rooms has received a cancellation request from a User and a full or partial refund is due to a User, that Venue Manager must contact Tagvenue providing the Booking and its cancellation details. The refunds to Users from that point shall be handled by Tagvenue according to the Venue’s cancellation policy selected at the time of the Booking.
6.7. Any taxes Tagvenue collected in relation to those amounts that are to be refunded to the User shall also be refunded and the non-refundable part of cancelled Booking shall remain taxable.
6.8. If a Venue Manager changes its Booking cancellation policy, it shall not have a retrospective effect on any of its past Bookings. Each Booking will be cancelled according to the Booking cancellation policy selected by the Venue Manager at the time that the Booking was made.

- a) A duration of a rescheduled Booking has no material difference to the duration of the original Booking, pursuant to an approval from Venue; and
- b) Any rescheduled Booking must be confirmed between the parties prior to the date and time of the original Event.
In which case this will not be considered as a cancellation and any deposit or prepayment shall not be affected and shall be applied towards a rescheduled Event.
