DigiTix
brings together a diverse community of international people to discover a
variety of live experiences in Suriname. The integrity of our platform is
something we take very seriously and we are committed to operating it in a
safe, secure, legal and respectful way. That is why we developed these
Community Guidelines to describe the types of events, activities, and content
that we encourage-and prohibit-on DigiTix. — Last updated: February 24, 2019
TIP: The
list isn't exhaustive and we may add to it; therefore, it is important that you
continue to check in on any modifications or updates frequently. Please respect
these Community Guidelines. If you come across any content that violates them,
please contact us right away, or in the case of a specific event-related issue,
use the Report This Event link.
NOTE: These
Community Guidelines are incorporated by reference into the DigiTix Terms of
Service, and capitalized terms in these Community Guidelines not otherwise
defined here have the same definitions that we use in the Terms of Service.
Building a Safe
Community
DigiTix is
a place where anyone can create or find live experiences that fuel their
passions. As both an organization that cares about diversity of thought and an international
platform that fosters a vibrant community, we are committed to providing a
safe, well-lit environment for live experiences. We may not agree with every
view or opinion expressed at every event, but we strongly believe in the
fundamental right to free speech and assembly. To help you understand what is
acceptable on DigiTix and what crosses our line, we created this set of
Community Guidelines:
Do's
1. Create
Events of All Kinds
Whether
you're interested in wine, email marketing, dance, coding, or nearly anything
else-you're free to create events that bring your community together.
2. Share
Respectful, Celebratory Content
We highly
encourage the use of content that celebrates different cultures, countries, and
voices. Express yourself and inspire our community with your unique perspective
and insight.
3. Post
Self-Generated or Properly Obtained Content
You are
welcome to use content in your event listing that you've created yourself, or
procured appropriately, provided that it is not hateful or explicit in nature,
or otherwise in violation of these Guidelines. This includes photos, videos,
logos, and copy.
4. Sell
Event-Related Merchandise
Feel free
to sell event-related merchandise or accommodations in tandem with your event
tickets and registrations. Just make sure you are staying within legal rules
associated with those items, and only sell merchandise that you've created or
has been licensed or properly made available to you, and therefore your event
attendees, for your advertised purpose.
Don'ts
You may not
use DigiTix to post content or engage in any conduct that is (in our sole
evaluation) offensive, harmful, or inappropriate for general audiences or that
we believe constitutes or is likely to encourage or promote any harmful,
violent, or illegal activity or outcome. Below, you will find more information
about the types of activities, events, and content that are not permitted on or
through the DigiTix Services.

Resell Tickets, Engage in Prohibited Sales or Advertising

a platform for authorized ticket sellers to offer tickets to their own events
to, or solicit donations to their own causes surrounding the promotion of an
event from, the public. The platform may not be used to resell tickets, sell
physical good (see exception), administer raffles, sweepstakes, contests or
games of chance of any nature, or otherwise facilitate the sale of anything
other than a ticket for your own event. ( exception: merchandise or
accommodations that have been added as an option in tandem and associated with
an event ticket/registration.). You may not use the DigiTix Services to:
• Collect
or extract any information from the Services for any commercial purpose, such
as to resell information (whether personal or other information), or create a
new dataset or service, or

6. Don't
Infringe on the Intellectual Property Rights of Others
You may not
upload or distribute content on DigiTix that you do not have a right to
transmit under any law or under contractual or fiduciary relationships (such as
inside information, or proprietary and confidential information learned or
disclosed as part of employment relationships or under nondisclosure
agreements). This includes, but is not limited to, all images, logos, videos,
and text uploaded on your event listing. Additionally, you may not do the
following on the DigiTix Services:
• Remove
any copyright, trademark or other proprietary rights notice from the Services
or any material displayed by the Services, or
•
Reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell or otherwise exploit for any
commercial purposes, any portion or aspect of the Services.
If you have
identified an unauthorized use of your intellectual property on DigiTix, please
follow the process in our Copyright and Trademark Policy.
7. Don't
Invade the Privacy of Others
Be
thoughtful and careful about the kind of information you ask for. You may not
use DigiTix to collect credit card numbers, social security numbers, financial
information, or other sensitive information not absolutely necessary for the
administration of your event, and not available for collection through
alternative methods.
8. Don't
Post Explicit Content
DigiTix is
not a place for pornography, or for explicit, violent and/or graphic content.
This applies to all content on our site, including images, videos, and
descriptions. We understand that not all nudity is pornographic, and that
certain graphic content may be necessary to emphasize the nature of an event on
our Services. We will remove content that exposes certain parts of the body, or
is intended to celebrate violence or primarily to shock the viewer. Beyond
this, we may choose to remove or make certain content private to ensure a
general level of safety and appropriateness for the majority of the community.
How to Flag
and Process for Review
Our goal is
to promote a safe and respectful community. If you learn that any listing or
content that violates these Community Guidelines or our Terms of Service,
please contact us right away, or in the case of an event, use the Report This
Event link in the event's footer. We will review each report, and depending on
the nature of the report, we may or may not follow up with you. It's also
important to remember that DigiTix encourages a diverse, international
community; content that you find offensive or controversial may not violate our
Community Guidelines, and not result in your desired action. We truly value
your feedback and the opportunity to hear from our community.
Violations
of our Community Guidelines
If we
determine that the content violates our Community Guidelines, we may remove
only the relevant content, we may take down the entire event listing, or take
alternative action that DigiTix determines to be appropriate given the
circumstances surrounding the content. If the abuse of our Services is serious
and severe (in our sole evaluation), we may also suspend or terminate the
associated DigiTix account. Note that certain content, while not in violation
of our Community Guidelines, may not be appropriate for the majority of our
community. In these cases, we may decide to make the content private. If we
believe there is a legitimate risk of physical harm to someone or a group of
people, or direct threats to public safety, we not only take action on our
site, but will also work with law enforcement, as appropriate and at our
discretion. If you or someone you know is in immediate danger as a result of
content posted on DigiTix, please first contact your local law enforcement
agency. Once you've reported the issue to law enforcement, click here to report the issue directly
to DigiTix.
