The E-commerce platform and opportunities for purchasing tickets via it are designed for use by private individuals and is mainly intended for individuals (consumers) or specifically authorized traders. A user is thus expressly prohibited from using the User Account for commercial purposes by, for example, sublicensing the User Account or by purchasing tickets for further sale by a business or for other commercial purpose, except as expressly permitted by these Terms.
4. Purchases that contravene the Performing Arts Companies' terms and conditions
Malmö Live Concert Hall reserve the right, at their sole discretion, to terminate a user's User Account, block the user, stop the user purchasing tickets and/or cancel or block already purchased tickets if Malmö Live Concert Hall consider that the user has violated or will violate these Terms. A breach of the Terms may result from, for example, the user copying protected intellectual property, buying tickets that are then sold in a commercial business in violation of these Terms, or otherwise violating, or attempting to circumvent, the terms and conditions for purchasing tickets.
When a ticket is blocked it becomes unusable and loses its value. In the case of cancellations for the above reasons, the associated service charge that has been paid and possible distribution and delivery charges are not refunded. Malmö Live Concert Hall can also decide to not refund the ticket price that has been paid. If the event has restrictions on the number of tickets per purchase and customer, this maximum quantity may not be exceeded or circumvented.
The user is responsible for ensuring that his or her user ID and password for the User Account are stored safely and that no unauthorized person can access the information.
Users are always entitled to terminate their User Account by sending written notice to the email address defined at the end of this document.
5. Changes, refunds & cancelled events
5.1 For private consumers the following applies:
A booking can be cancelled until payment has been made. The rules of the Swedish Distance Contracts Act on withdrawal do not apply to the purchase of tickets for events. Once payment has been made, you as a customer are bound by your purchase, unless otherwise stated in these Terms or in applicable law.
Tickets that have been bought are not refunded, unless the show/concert is cancelled. In such cases, the customer shall submit a repayment claim to the company from which the ticket was bought, no later than one (1) month from the date of the event/date on which the event was due to take place. If this does not occur, the customer is not entitled to a refund. This applies both to a cancelled event and in cases in which the ticket was cancelled and the customer was entitled to a refund. Service and distribution fees are not refunded in the case of a cancelled event.
However, already purchased tickets can be exchanged for tickets for a different concert or a different performance of the production for which the ticket is valid. Such changes are conducted, subject to availability, at the latest three working days before the day of the concert/performance. An additional charge of 30 SEK per ticket will be levied. Such rights to change do not apply to tickets for concerts provided by external organizers or group tickets. Special rules apply to subscriptions and packages etc.
Lost tickets will not be replaced. Tickets purchased via Malmö Live Concert Hall’s E-commerce platform are stored on my pages and you as a customer can print your tickets and share them.
The customer is responsible for checking that the performance/concert has not been cancelled or postponed. In the event of a cancelled or postponed event, the customer should immediately contact the responsible seller of the ticket, as it is that company’s responsibility to handle questions about refunding tickets.
The tickets are not personal, so a consumer who does not use the purchased ticket has the right to sell it to another person.
Please note in this context that Malmö Live Concert Hall are not responsible for tickets that are purchased from persons or organizations other than Malmö Live Concert Hall.
There may be other or additional rules and regulations that apply to purchases made by consumers.
