We have offices in 7 countries and have processed banknotes in 180 countries, so there is no doubt that we are a global company. However, our legal policy needed a little local love. Therefore, we have added specific terms for our users in the EU and Australia, and we will continue to make country-specific changes if necessary. As the state`s legal cannabis industry has grown, events for industry professionals and marijuana users have multiplied. (Photo by Spencer Platt / Getty Images) Eventbrite, one of the world`s largest platforms for planning, promoting, and selling tickets for live events, is perfectly acceptable for white nationalists to use its services as long as they don`t openly talk about their beliefs on the Eventbrite platform. Cannabis-related events brought in $100 million in ticket sales nationwide in 2016, according to an internal investigation conducted by EventHi, an event management software startup for the marijuana industry. This number is sure to increase as cannabis continues to gain social and political acceptance. The Southern California Cannabis Business and Investment Group organizes events for professionals in the cannabis industry. « We don`t sell cannabis. We`re just doing a business meeting, » said James Jordan, one of the organizers of the event.
In addition to CBD, other cannabis-related events have also had issues with Eventbrite. Chapman University`s Dale E. Fowler hosts several unique and challenging events each year, ranging from the prestigious Chapman Dialogues lecture series, to student-led symposia and receptions, guest speaker presentations, student resource fairs and professional development opportunities hosted by the Office of Career Services. That NPI uses Eventbrite as a platform for its events is hardly surprising given its target group – millennials. However, they are not the only hate group using the service. At Eventbrite, it`s important to us to provide the best possible experience for organizers and attendees. As our business has grown, we have made some changes to meet the needs of our customers around the world. Therefore, it made sense for us to update our legal policies to ensure they reflect how we plan to run our growing business. We focused on fairness and transparency Our legal policy seemed a little too one-sided for our taste. So we went through line by line and replaced phrases like « no reason, » « without notice, » and « in our sole discretion » with the specific reasons why we might take a particular action. We know that it is difficult to read a long document, let alone a legal document! That`s why we`ve decided to break down our original Terms of Service and Privacy Policy into smaller policies that apply to different groups of people who use Eventbrite. Our new policies include: Get notified when Eventbrite hires legal entities Eventbrite is a global self-service ticketing platform for live experiences that allows anyone to create, share, find and participate in events that fuel their passions and enrich their lives.
From music festivals, marathons, conferences, community gatherings and fundraisers to gaming competitions and aerial guitar competitions. Summary of changes If you want to know more about what we`ve changed, here`s a summary of the important changes. We encourage you to read all of our policies in their entirety, as various changes may be more or less important to you depending on your situation and use of Eventbrite. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us! Eventbrite`s main source of revenue is a percentage discount on every ticket sold for an event. « We grow with creators as they plan, promote and produce more events and increase participation, » the company explained in its S-1 filing. A review of events surrounding and within NPI`s annual conference last year concluded that Richard Spencer violated these conditions. As a result, it was removed by Eventbrite in November 2016 and is no longer allowed to benefit directly from the platform`s services. If you have any questions, please contact lawevents@chapman.edu.
« In the rare event that organizers continue to republish an event that has been violated, or new events that have also been violated, we will suspend the account and work directly with the organizer to provide access to their remaining payments, attendee lists, etc., » an Eventbrite spokesperson said in an email. The random app is frustrating, as a host of other cannabis-related events are listed on the site – including 420-friendly yoga in Boston and a cannabis happy hour in Washington DC, the « FREE ATMS all night! » NPI currently has two events listed on the Eventbrite platform. An event in late February features white nationalist and xenophobic Peter Brimelow, editor of VDARE, an online publication for immigrants named after the first white child born in the British colonies, Virginia Dare, and Jared Taylor, founder and editor of American Renaissance, a white nationalist web publication dedicated to « academic racism » and topics such as eugenics and « Black Crime on White. » .
