Terms of Use

You must be at least 18 years old to use the Platform as an organization or event organizer. By using TavernCentral, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms on behalf of yourself or your organization.

To create events and manage registrations, you must register an organization account. You agree to:

• Provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration.
• Maintain and promptly update your account information.
• Keep your password secure and confidential.
• Be responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.
• Notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account at hello@taverncentral.com.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or are found to contain inaccurate information.

When attendees register for your event, they provide personal data directly to TavernCentral on your behalf. You agree to:

• Use attendee data only for purposes related to the registered event.
• Not sell, share, or transfer attendee data to third parties without the attendees' consent.
• Handle attendee data in compliance with the Nigeria Data Protection Regulation (NDPR) and applicable privacy laws.
• Delete attendee data upon request or when it is no longer needed for the event.

Violation of these obligations may result in immediate account suspension and legal liability.

The TavernCentral name, logo, platform design, and underlying technology are owned by TavernCentral and protected by intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works based on our intellectual property without our prior written consent.

Nothing in these Terms transfers any intellectual property rights to you.

Subscriptions. Organizations can use TavernCentral on the Free plan or subscribe to a paid plan. Paid plans are billed monthly by card at the prices shown on our pricing page, plus a payment processing fee shown at checkout, and renew automatically each month on the same card until cancelled. You can cancel at any time; no further payments are taken and the plan stays active until the end of the month already paid for, after which the account moves to the Free plan. Payments already made are not refunded for partial months. If a renewal payment fails, the plan stays active for 3 days so the card can be updated; if payment is still not received, the account moves to the Free plan. Switching between paid plans starts the new plan immediately and stops the previous one renewing. We issue a receipt for every subscription payment. We may change our plans or prices with appropriate notice to existing users. Billing questions can be sent to admin@taverncentral.com.

Ticket sales. When an organization sells tickets on the Platform, the organization is the seller and is responsible for its event. TavernCentral provides the event page and ticketing tools and collects payment on the organization's behalf through our payment provider, Paystack. The ticket price is set by the organization. Buyers also pay a booking fee that covers payment processing, shown before payment. TavernCentral charges the organization a platform fee of 10% of the ticket price on every ticket sold, on every plan. Each payment is split when it is made: the organization's share (the ticket price less the platform fee) is paid by Paystack into the bank account the organization has verified with us, on Paystack's settlement schedule, and TavernCentral receives the platform fee and the booking fee. Organizations must add and verify a payout account before selling tickets, and are responsible for keeping it correct. By paying or accepting payments on the Platform, you also agree to Paystack's terms of service.

Refunds. Refunds for tickets are handled directly between the buyer and the organization that sold the ticket, outside the Platform. Each organization sets its own refund policy, including whether the booking fee is refunded. TavernCentral does not issue ticket refunds and is not responsible for an organization's refund decisions, event changes or cancellations. Buyers should contact the organization, for example by replying to their ticket confirmation email.

Organizations agree to state their refund policy clearly to buyers, to handle refund requests promptly and fairly, and to comply with applicable consumer protection laws.

The Platform is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the Platform will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses or other harmful components. We are not responsible for the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of any content posted by users.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, TavernCentral shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenues, whether incurred directly or indirectly, or any loss of data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses resulting from:

• Your use or inability to use the Platform.
• Any unauthorized access to or use of our servers or your personal information.
• Any interruption or cessation of transmission to or from the Platform.
• Any events or actions of third parties on the Platform.

Our total liability to you for any claims arising under these Terms shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the twelve months preceding the claim (or NGN 10,000 if you have not paid us anything).

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless TavernCentral and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, liabilities, costs, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from: (a) your use of the Platform; (b) your violation of these Terms; (c) your violation of any third-party rights; or (d) any claim by an attendee arising from your event.

Either party may terminate these Terms at any time. You may close your account by contacting us at hello@taverncentral.com. We may suspend or terminate your account immediately if you violate these Terms, without notice or liability.

Upon termination, your right to use the Platform ceases. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination (including ownership, disclaimers, indemnification, and limitations of liability) shall survive.

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Any disputes arising under these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Nigeria.

We may revise these Terms at any time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you by email or via a prominent notice on the Platform. Your continued use of the Platform after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.
