International Nightlife and Entertainment LLC, doing business as INL operates the INL platform for event discovery, ticketing, RSVPs, organizer tools, check-in, and event communications.
Unless INL is expressly identified as the organizer of an event, the event organizer is responsible for creating, hosting, managing, operating, and delivering the event. INL provides the platform and may help process refunds, notices, and disputes under this policy.
Event-specific refund policy
Each event may have its own refund policy. The event-specific policy shown at purchase controls unless this Refund Policy or applicable law gives the buyer greater protection. If an event does not show a separate refund policy, the default INL policy below applies.
Default refund rule
Unless the event page, organizer policy, INL, or applicable law says otherwise, ticket sales are final after purchase. A refund may be available if the event is cancelled, materially changed, oversold, not delivered as advertised, affected by a confirmed INL platform error, approved by the organizer, or required by law.
Cancelled events
If an event is cancelled and not rescheduled, buyers are generally entitled to the refund required by the event policy, this policy, or applicable law. INL may process refunds through the payment processor and may pause, delay, withhold, recover, or offset organizer payouts to cover refund obligations.
Postponed, rescheduled, or relocated events
If an event is postponed, rescheduled, or relocated, tickets generally remain valid for the new date, time, or location. The organizer must notify attendees and INL of the change. A buyer may request a refund when the change is material, when no new date is announced within 30 days, when the organizer offers refunds, or when a refund is required by law.
Material changes
A material change is a change that would reasonably affect a buyer's decision to purchase or attend. Small lineup adjustments, weather, minor timing adjustments, or ordinary operational changes may not be material unless the event page or organizer policy says otherwise.
- Examples may include a changed event date, city, venue, main advertised performer, main advertised experience, significant start time or duration change, ticket benefits, age or access requirements, or what the ticket includes.
- If a buyer believes a material change occurred, they should keep screenshots, receipts, messages, and other proof and follow the refund request process below.
Buyer-requested refunds
Buyer-requested refunds are generally not available unless the event page allows them, the organizer approves them, INL determines a refund is appropriate under this policy, or applicable law requires one.
- Common non-refundable reasons include being unable to attend, buying the wrong ticket or date, changing plans, arriving late, missing the event, failing age or ID checks, failing dress code or venue requirements, being denied entry for lawful safety or security reasons, travel or lodging issues, parking issues, childcare issues, weather affecting personal travel, or being removed for misconduct, intoxication, harassment, illegal conduct, unsafe conduct, or disruption.
Fees, taxes, and processing costs
Service fees, platform fees, payment processing fees, taxes, and other charges may be non-refundable unless the event page, INL, the organizer, the payment processor, or applicable law says otherwise. Approved refunds may take time to appear depending on the payment method, processor, card issuer, bank, and payment network.
Duplicate purchases and platform errors
If a buyer believes they made a duplicate purchase or experienced a confirmed platform error, they should contact INL promptly with the buyer name, email address, order number, event name, purchase time, screenshots, receipts, and any other relevant details. INL may review the issue with the organizer and payment processor before approving or denying a refund.
Ticket rules and admission
A ticket is a revocable license to attend the event listed on the ticket, subject to law, venue rules, organizer rules, safety rules, ticket limits, age restrictions, ID requirements, and platform policies. A ticket does not guarantee entry if the attendee fails to meet applicable requirements.
- Entry may be denied without refund where permitted by law if a ticket is invalid, fraudulent, copied, shared, previously scanned, used by someone else, manipulated, transferred without authorization, or purchased through unauthorized resale.
- Entry may also be denied without refund where permitted by law if the attendee fails ID, age, security, dress code, venue, conduct, capacity, entry-window, or safety requirements.
- If entry is denied because of an organizer error, oversold event, invalid ticket issued through INL, or confirmed INL platform issue, the buyer should contact INL with proof so the issue can be reviewed.
Transfers, resale, and QR codes
Ticket transfers or resale are allowed only when the event page, organizer, venue, or INL permits them. QR codes, ticket links, and screenshots should be kept private. The first valid QR code scan may be accepted for entry, and INL is not responsible if a buyer shares a ticket or QR code and someone else uses it first.
How to request a refund
Buyers should contact the organizer first using the instructions on the event page or in event communications. If the organizer does not respond within 5 business days, or if the issue involves a platform error, payment issue, dispute, cancellation, material change, or safety concern, the buyer may contact INL.
- Email support@joininl.com or submit the contact form at /contact.
- Include the buyer's full name, email address used for purchase, order number, event name, ticket type, reason for the request, screenshots, receipts, event communications, organizer or venue messages, and any other documentation.
Organizer refund responsibilities
Organizers are responsible for publishing and honoring a clear refund policy before tickets are sold. Organizers must not retroactively make refunds more restrictive for existing buyers and must cooperate with INL, buyers, venues, payment processors, and banks when refund or dispute issues arise.
- Respond to refund and event support requests within 5 business days whenever reasonably possible.
- Notify attendees and INL promptly about cancellations, postponements, relocations, material changes, capacity issues, or delivery problems.
- Maintain funds to cover refunds, chargebacks, dispute fees, taxes, and payment processor obligations connected to the event.
- Comply with applicable consumer protection, ticketing, tax, payment, safety, accessibility, venue, and event laws.
INL actions for refund risk
To protect buyers, organizers, venues, payment processors, and the platform, INL may pause or remove event listings, pause ticket sales, delay or withhold payouts, recover or offset funds, issue refunds, require organizer documentation, restrict accounts, or take other action when there are cancellations, disputes, fraud signals, oversold events, safety concerns, chargebacks, legal issues, or policy violations.
Chargebacks and payment disputes
Buyers should contact the organizer and INL before filing a chargeback or payment dispute so the issue can be reviewed. If a dispute is filed, INL may provide order records, ticket records, event details, refund policies, communications, check-in data, device or fraud signals, and other relevant information to the payment processor, bank, organizer, or service providers.
- Organizers may be responsible for refunds, chargebacks, dispute fees, penalties, processor costs, and related losses connected to their events except to the extent caused solely by INL.
Force majeure and safety actions
Events may be affected by severe weather, natural disasters, public health emergencies, power outages, labor issues, civil unrest, government action, venue issues, performer issues, security risks, transportation disruptions, or other circumstances outside the control of INL or the organizer. Refunds in those situations are determined by the event-specific policy, this policy, event communications, and applicable law. INL may pause sales, remove listings, block check-in, issue notices, or take other safety or risk actions when needed.
Refunded or cancelled tickets
Refunded, voided, cancelled, disputed, or charged-back tickets are no longer valid for entry, check-in, transfer, resale, upgrade, or event access. INL and organizers may cancel tickets connected to fraud, misuse, unauthorized resale, payment failure, chargeback abuse, policy violations, or safety concerns where permitted by law.
Contact
Refund, cancellation, ticket, chargeback, or event support questions can be sent to support@joininl.com or submitted through /contact. Buyers should include enough information for INL to find the order and review the issue.
