Terms & Conditions – T140 Venues™

Welcome to T140 Events™.

T140 Pty Ltd (T140™) is an Australian based company and is the owner and promoter of the T140 Events™ system (the System). These Terms and Conditions (Terms) govern the provision to you, and your use of, the System in conducting both T140 Events™ and T140 Venue Tournaments™ based on T140 Events™. In addition, the Terms cover any T140 Tournaments™ which you conduct for or on behalf of T140™ or a Sanctioning Body. See {T140 Tournaments™ Terms}.

The Terms are to be understood by reference to the {T140 Lexicon™}.

When you register as a T140 Venue™ with T140™, you agree to these terms.

The System is one of the products provided to you by T140™. If other products are supplied by T140™ to you, their supply will also be governed by these Terms.

These Terms comprise an agreement between you and T140™.

The System

We agree to provide you with access to the System. The System includes all of the T140 Events™ features, applications, systems, technologies, and software that we provide to advance T140™’s vision:

To engage the global cue sports community, revitalise venues through increased player participation and introduce new players to the sport.

The System is made up of the following elements:
1. Offering T140 Venues™ and T140 Players™ opportunities to connect and compete. We want to strengthen Venues’ relationships with their customers - the T140 Players™. We have built the System to facilitate this goal. Part of this is highlighting content, features, offers, and accounts you might be interested in, and offering ways for you to experience T140 Events™ and T140 Venue Tournaments™.
2. Fostering a positive, inclusive, and safe environment. We offer resources to our T140 Venues™ and T140 Players™ to make their experiences positive and inclusive.
3. Developing and using technologies to serve the growing T140 Community™. A big part of the System is creating and using cutting-edge technologies that help us personalize, protect, and improve the System on an incredibly large scale for the global T140 Community™. These technologies give us the ability to apply complex processes across the System. They also help us ensure the functionality and integrity of the System.
4. Ensuring the System evolves. T140™ is focused on continual improvement of the System with insights, information, and technology to ensure that the System continually evolves to be even better, safer, and more secure.
5. Ensuring access to the System. To operate our global System, we must store and transfer data across our systems around the world, including outside of your country of residence. The use of this global infrastructure is necessary and essential to provide the System to T140 Venues™ and to the T140 Players™.
6. Research and innovation. We use the information we have obtained to study the System. If we need to collaborate with others on research to make the System better, we will do so in a way which is consistent with our {Privacy Policy}. Our innovations are intended to contribute to the well-being of our T140 Community™.
How the System is funded.
1. The System is available to you on user pay basis. You only pay for the T140 Events™ you run. We will not show you or your T140 Players™ advertisements from businesses or organizations to promote other products to you or them. We do not use your personal data, such as information about your activities, for any purpose other than our dealings with you in respect of the System.
2. We do not sell your personal data.
3. You purchase T140 Event Credits™ (EC or ECs) from us in advance. Each EC costs $US1. You accept the foreign exchange rates available through T140™’s ecommerce facility at the time of purchase.
4. You may charge your T140 Players™ whatever you wish to have them play in a T140 Event™ at your Venue.
5. The System maintains your EC balance. We will debit your EC balance at the time you decide to run a T140 Event™. If you do not have sufficient ECs, you will not be able to run the T140 Event™.
6. The T140 Event™ charges payable by you to T140™ are as follows: -
  1. from 4 to 8 Players – 8 ECs;
  2. 9 Players – 9 ECs;
  3. 10 Players – 10 ECs;
  4. 11 Players – 11 ECs;

  8. 15 Players – 15 ECs; and
  9. 16 Players – 16 ECs.
7. In addition to ECs that you purchase we may, at our discretion, issue Complimentary Event Credits (CEC or CECs).
8. Whenever you run a T140 Event™ we will debit your ECs first and only debit your CECs when you have no ECs left.
9. We will upon your request through the {Help Center} refund any unused ECs. The value of the ECs will be calculated at the rate of $US1 per EC at the exchange rate then available to T140™ through its bankers. Your refund will be net of any bank transfer charges payable by you or T140™.

How we will handle disputes.
