• reselling tickets above face value where the organiser does not allow it;
• copying, forging or tampering with tickets or QR codes; and
• trying to break into, overload or misuse our systems.

Organisers are responsible for holding every permit, licence and approval their event needs, for the safety of their guests, and for keeping to the capacity of their venue. Where an event is restricted by age, the organiser must say so on the event page and check it at the gate.

When we find or are told about a breach, we may:

• ask the organiser for more information or for changes to the listing;
• stop sales or remove the event;
• refund buyers in line with our Refund Policy;
• flag a promoter to the organiser they sell for;
• suspend or close the account; and
• report the matter to Paystack, the police or any other authority.

If you see an event or venue that breaks this policy, write to help@eventhome.app with a link to it and what you have seen. We review every report.
