2. Services and Platform Operations
2.1 Service Description
Logosive is an event ticketing and organization platform that enables structured debate events. Through our Services, Organizers can create events, sell tickets, and coordinate participants. The platform facilitates ticketing, organization, and participant coordination for live debates that occur on third-party platforms.
2.2 Platform Role and Limitations
Logosive is a ticketing and event organization platform. We are not the creator, organizer, or owner of the debates listed on the Services, nor are we the direct seller of tickets or registrations. We do not host, distribute, or store any debate content. Instead, we provide Services that enable Organizers to manage ticketing and promote their debates, Debaters to participate in structured discourse, and Hosts to moderate discussions.
When organizing a debate, the Organizer bears sole responsibility for:
- Selecting and managing the third-party platform where the debate will occur
- Ensuring debate content complies with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations
- Managing participant access and platform permissions
- Delivering the debate experience as described and in an accurate, satisfactory manner
For debates with paid tickets, Logosive processes all payments through our designated payment processing system. Consumers must use this system to purchase tickets. Logosive acts as the Organizer's limited payment collection agent, processing payments from Consumers through our third-party payment service providers. Twenty percent (20%) of all ticket sales are retained by Logosive as Platform Fees, approximately three percent (3%) is allocated to payment processing, and the remaining proceeds (approximately seventy-seven percent (77%)) are distributed to the designated parties according to their agreed-upon revenue sharing arrangement.
All debates occur on third-party platforms (such as X spaces or YouTube Live) that are selected and managed by the Organizers. For debates hosted on third-party platforms, the Organizer is responsible for securing and managing the platform relationship and ensuring proper access for ticket holders.
2.3 Content Hosting and Distribution
Logosive does not:
- Host or store any debate content
- Distribute or stream debates
- Provide content creation or hosting tools
- Moderate or control debate content
All debate content is hosted and distributed exclusively through third-party platforms chosen by Organizers. Our role is limited to ticketing and event organization.

You acknowledge that Logosive shall not be liable to you or any third party for termination of your access to the Services.
4.3 Termination by User
You may terminate your use of the Services by deleting your account. If you use the Services without a registered account, you may terminate by discontinuing all access to the Services. These Terms shall continue to apply for as long as you access the Services, with or without an account.

- You will not use the Services in connection with any direct or indirect activities or dealings with or involving any Restricted Area or Restricted Party, and will not otherwise use the Services in any manner that would cause Logosive to be in violation of applicable Trade Controls.
6. Release and Indemnification
6.1 Release of Claims
You hereby agree to release Logosive and its officers, directors, agents, licensors, payment processing partners, vendors, contractors, and employees (collectively, the "Logosive Released Parties") from all damages (whether direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or otherwise), losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses of every kind and nature, known and unknown, arising out of disputes between you and third parties (including other Users) in connection with:

You expressly waive any applicable law or statute providing that a general release does not extend to claims which the releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in their favor at the time of executing the release, which if known must have materially affected their settlement with the released party.
6.2 Indemnification Obligations
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Logosive Released Parties from any and all damage (whether direct, indirect, incidental, consequential or otherwise), loss, liability, cost and expense (including reasonable attorneys' and accounting fees) resulting from any claim, demand, suit, proceeding (whether before an arbitrator, court, mediator or otherwise) or investigation made by any third party (each a "Claim") relating to or arising out of:

- If you are a Debater or Host, any statements or conduct during debates.
Logosive will provide notice to you of any such Claim, but our failure or delay in providing such notice will not limit your indemnification obligations except to the extent you are materially prejudiced by such failure.

9. Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY AS IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS.
ANY DISPUTE OR CLAIM UNDER THESE TERMS OR WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES WILL BE SETTLED BY BINDING ARBITRATION OR IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT (TO THE EXTENT THE CLAIM QUALIFIES) AND WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY; YOU AGREE THAT CLASS, CONSOLIDATED (EXCEPT IN THE LIMITED CIRCUMSTANCES DESCRIBED BELOW), OR REPRESENTATIVE ARBITRATIONS AND CIVIL ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED AND ANY RIGHTS TO BRING SUCH ACTIONS ARE WAIVED BY EACH PARTY.
The parties understand that, absent this mandatory provision, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.
9.1 Customer Support
You agree that if you have a question or concern about the Services, you will contact us first, prior to initiating any legal proceeding. Our customer support team will try to answer your question or resolve your concern.
9.2 Arbitration Process
In the unlikely event that our customer support team is unable to resolve your concerns, you and we each agree to resolve all disputes and claims between you and us, including any arising under or relating to these Terms, your use of the Services, or your and our relationship, through binding arbitration or (to the extent the claim qualifies) in small claims court, instead of in courts of general jurisdiction.
The appointed arbitrator will have authority to enter all relief that would be available in court, to the extent warranted by the claims. All arbitrations and small claims proceedings will proceed only on an individual basis. In no event may either we or you seek to resolve a dispute with the other as part of any purported class, consolidated or representative proceeding, except as provided for in Section 9.9 below.
Binding arbitration is subject to very limited review. Only the appointed arbitrator – and not any court – will have the authority to resolve any dispute relating to this Section. This arbitration provision will survive termination of these Terms. These Terms evidence a transaction in interstate commerce and the interpretation and enforcement of this Section 9 is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, notwithstanding the choice of law set forth in Section 9.8 below.
9.3 Applicability
-
This agreement to arbitrate applies to all legal disputes between you and us. It includes, but is not limited to:
- all claims relating to any aspect of the relationship between you and us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory;
- all claims that arose before this or any prior agreement (including claims relating to advertising);
- all claims that may arise after termination of these Terms and/or your use of the Services.
-
Notwithstanding this agreement to arbitrate, you or we may choose to bring:
- an action on an individual basis in small claims court (to the extent the applicable claim qualifies);
- enforcement actions, validity determinations or claims relating to theft, piracy or unauthorized use of intellectual property in state or federal court in the U.S. Patent or Trademark Office to protect your or our Intellectual Property Rights.
"Intellectual Property Rights" means patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets, but not privacy or publicity rights.
9.4 Selection of Arbitrator
We each agree to use the "rank and strike" process for selecting an arbitrator. In this process, the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") will propose at least ten candidates to potentially serve as the arbitrator. We will each respond directly to AAA (without copying one another) in a writing that:
- "strikes" up to three of those candidates, that is, removes them from further consideration, and
- ranks the remaining candidates in order of preference.
AAA will average each of our rankings for each arbitrator and select as the arbitrator the candidate with the highest ranking.
9.5 No Class Actions
YOU AND LOGOSIVE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
EXCEPT AS PROVIDED FOR IN SECTION 9.9 BELOW, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY (IF WARRANTED) ISSUE ALL OF THE SAME RELIEF THAT WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN COURT, INCLUDING PUBLIC INJUNCTIVE RELIEF, IN FAVOR OF THE PARTY SEEKING SUCH RELIEF, BUT ONLY TO THE EXTENT AUTHORIZED BY LAW AND WARRANTED BY THE PARTY'S CLAIMS.
9.6 Dispute Notice
A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other a written Notice of Dispute ("Dispute Notice"). The Dispute Notice to Logosive must be addressed to the following address ("Notice Address") and must be sent by certified mail: Castle Group, LLC, Attn: Legal Department, 1401 21st St Ste R, Sacramento, CA 95811. Dispute Notices to you will be addressed to a mailing, home, or payment address currently on record with Logosive and must be sent by certified mail. If we have no records of a physical address, our Dispute Notice may be delivered to your Logosive account email address.
The Dispute Notice must:
- describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and
- set forth the specific relief sought.
If Logosive and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Dispute Notice is sent, you or Logosive may commence an arbitration proceeding.
9.7 Arbitration Rules
The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules, or, if the actions giving rise to the dispute or claim relate to your personal use of the Services (rather than business use), the Consumer Arbitration Rules (in each case, the "AAA Rules") of the AAA, as modified by this Section 9, and will be administered by the AAA and settled by a single arbitrator. All issues in dispute between the parties are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this Section 9.
9.8 Arbitration Location
If you are a Consumer, any arbitration hearings will take place (at your option) either in the county of your residence or by phone, except that:
- if you are a Consumer whose residence is outside of the United States, the hearing will take place either in San Francisco, California or by phone or videoconference, at your option and as permitted by the AAA Rules; and
- in the case of Batch arbitration per Section 9.9 below, the hearing will take place either in San Francisco, California or by phone or videoconference, at the option of AAA.
If your use of the Services is or was for commercial use, then unless Logosive and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in a reasonably convenient location for both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, AAA will determine the location.
If your claim is for ten thousand dollars ($10,000) or less, the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator or through a telephonic hearing. If your claim exceeds ten thousand dollars ($10,000), the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. The arbitrator will issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. All decisions by the arbitrator will be final and binding and judgment on the award rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
9.9 Similar Claims
To ensure efficient resolution, if within a 90-day period, 25 or more claimants submit Dispute Notices or file arbitrations raising similar claims (i.e., with the same or similar facts or events and legal issues) and are represented by the same or coordinated counsel, the disputes must be arbitrated in batches of up to 50 claimants each ("Batch").
Specifically, upon notice from either side, AAA must group the arbitrations into:
- a single Batch (if there are 25-50 claimants), or
- Batches of 50 claimants each, with a smaller, final Batch consisting of any remaining claimants (if there are more than 50 claimants).
AAA shall thereafter provide for the resolution of each Batch as a single consolidated arbitration with a single arbitrator appointed by AAA, one set of Arbitration Fees, and one hearing (if any) per Batch, to be held in San Francisco, California, or by phone or videoconference at the option of the arbitrator.
9.10 Arbitration Costs
Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator costs and expenses imposed by AAA will be governed by the AAA Rules, provided that if you are initiating an arbitration against Logosive and the value of the relief sought is ten thousand dollars ($10,000) or less, then Logosive will advance all filing, administrative and arbitration costs and expenses imposed by AAA (subject to reimbursement as set forth below).
To the maximum extent allowed under applicable law, each party will bear its own attorneys' fees and expenses in connection with any arbitration proceeding. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the reimbursement of attorneys' fees and expenses upon request from either party made within fourteen (14) days of the arbitrator's ruling on the merits.
9.11 Non-Qualifying Disputes
In the event that any provisions of this Section 9 are found to be invalid or unenforceable for any claim or issue, then the entirety of this Section 9 will be null and void only with respect to such claim or issue and Section 21 "Applicable Law and Jurisdiction" will apply to such claim or issue in lieu of this Section 9.
9.12 Your Right to Opt Out
You have the right to opt out and not be bound by the arbitration or class action waiver provisions set forth above in this Section 9 by sending (from the email address we associate with you as a User) written notice of your decision to opt-out to [email protected]. Please include the following in the subject line, "ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER OPT-OUT."
The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of your first use of the Services or your agreement to these Terms (whichever is later); otherwise, you will be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of these provisions. Note that if you opt out of these arbitration provisions, Logosive also will not be bound by them.

14. Fees and Refunds
14.1 Fee Structure
Creating an account is free. We charge fees for debate ticket sales, structured as follows:
- Logosive retains 20% of ticket sales as Platform Fees
- Approximately 3% is allocated to payment processing
- The remaining proceeds (approximately 77%) are distributed to the designated parties according to their agreed revenue sharing arrangement
These fees may vary based on individual agreements between us and certain Organizers. Organizers may determine whether these fees will be passed along to Consumers and shown as "Fees" on the debate page or absorbed into the ticket price and paid by the Organizer out of ticket gross proceeds.
The fees charged to Consumers may include additional charges, including platform fees, taxes, and processing fees. Therefore, the total fees paid by Consumers for a debate may differ from the standard fees described on the Services. Some fees are meant to defray our costs and may include an element of profit or loss.
We do not control fees levied by your bank or credit card company, including fees for purchasing tickets in foreign currencies. Please check with your financial institution prior to purchase to understand all applicable fees, credit card surcharges, and currency conversion rates.
14.2 Ticket Transfers
If you wish to transfer tickets you have purchased on the Site, please contact the Debate Organizer to arrange for ticket transfer. If you are unable to reach the Organizer, or the Organizer is unable to arrange a ticket transfer, please contact us and we will evaluate if we can accommodate the transfer.
14.3 Payment Policy
When you purchase a ticket, you authorize Logosive to charge you after the debate concludes. We only process payments for completed debates.
A debate is considered completed when either:
- The host formally concludes the debate; or
- Both debaters have had a substantive opportunity to participate
No payment will be processed if:
- The debate is cancelled; or
- The debate is postponed and not rescheduled within 90 days
Creating duplicate tickets or falsely claiming ticket benefits is prohibited. Organizers must use the Logosive check-in system to validate tickets and their associated benefits.
We are not liable for tickets obtained through unofficial channels or for any misuse of ticket benefits.

We may feature details from your debates in blogs, case studies, or shareholder communications to highlight their impact.
You hereby waive any moral rights in connection with our use of Your Content under the licenses in this Section 16.

24. Additional Provisions
If we fail to enforce any part of these Terms, that will not constitute a waiver of our right to later enforce that or any other part of these Terms. Except as expressly set out in these Terms, the exercise by us of any of our remedies under these Terms will not preclude us from exercising our other remedies under these Terms or otherwise.
No oral waiver, amendment, or modification of these Terms will be effective. If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, that part will be limited to the minimum extent necessary and the other provisions of these Terms remain in full force and effect.
Section titles and subtitles in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect and do not amount to legal advice.
When we say Logosive "may" or has the right, is permitted, authorized, or allowed to do something in these Terms, it means we may, but are not obligated to, exercise the applicable rights or options or take the applicable action, as we determine in our sole discretion. Any determinations, decisions, or beliefs by us under these Terms may be made by us in our sole discretion.
As used in these Terms:
- "Including" means "including, but not limited to"
- When these Terms say that you "will" take an action, this means that you are agreeing to take the action and that you must take that action
No independent contractor, agency, partnership, joint venture, or other such relationship is created by these Terms.
We may translate these Terms into other languages for your convenience. If there is a conflict between the English version and a translated version, the English version will control.
