Service Offerings:  thesponsordesk.com is an innovative Site created for the purpose of facilitating transactions for event sponsorships, the purchase of product placements opportunities and the purchase of traditional media advertising.  Any use outside of these purposes is prohibited.

 

Advertising Transactions:  The Sponsor Desk acts as an electronic market between the owners of advertising opportunities (“Sellers”) and advertising purchasers (“Buyers”) and acts to simplify and facilitate the marketing of advertising opportunities. It is not directly involved in the sale of advertising opportunities which are only between the Buyer and Seller.  As a result, each transaction will be documented using standard terms supplied on the Site and signed by authorized representatives of each party (the “Sales Agreement”). A single Buyer may enter into multiple purchases from Sellers in a single documented transaction. Once the Buyer and a Seller or Sellers sign off on the terms of the sale, all transactions are FINAL.

 

Unitization:  Each advertising opportunity offered by Seller will be divided into sales “units” based on the Sponsor Desk’s application of its proprietary criteria such as advertising medium, Internet site, date or dates of any concert or event, locations of any concert or event and placement of the advertising (the “Unit”).  Buyers may bid on one or more Units in each purchase transaction. Seller represents and warrants that it is the owner, or has acquired the necessary rights for, each advertising opportunity posted on the Site and that the information supplied to Buyers is accurate, complete and complies with all applicable laws.

 

Pricing:  All prices are set by a bidding process in which both the Seller and the Buyer may submit bids. The final price for an advertising opportunity is the price accepted by Seller.  Prices are accepted exclusively by the Seller and cannot be confirmed as reasonable or fair by the Site.  All prices are in Unites States Dollars (“USD”) unless otherwise specifically stated. The final prices will include the fees payable by both the Buyer and Seller to Sponsor Desk for facilitating any transaction between Buyer and Seller.

 

Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure: The advertising opportunities offered by Sellers on the Site are confidential business information which is disclosed exclusively to registered Buyers. Buyer may not scrape, collect, use, advertise or otherwise publicly disclose any of Seller’s confidential information for any purpose other than to conduct transactions on the Site.  Any breach of this confidentiality, including disclosure of any portion of this information, shall be considered a material breach and Sponsor Desk may immediately terminate Buyer’s access to the Site.  Sponsor Desk or Seller may also recover damages arising from or relating to Buyer’s breach of confidentiality.

 

Taxes: Seller is solely responsible for the payment of all state, local, sales, excise, service or other taxes relating to or arising from any sale to Buyer. All withholding of tax payments in the jurisdictions in which the sale occurs shall be the responsibility of Seller who must consult their own tax advisor.  All applicable taxes will be included in the price to Buyer.  Seller shall provide the Site with any information necessary for the Site to report information regarding payments the Site has made to Seller to relevant authorities, including but not limited to Seller’s name, address, employer identification number or tax id.  Seller authorizes Site to release the necessary information to the appropriate tax authorities.

 

Payment: After Buyer agrees to a transaction and the terms of the Sales Agreement, the Buyer shall make payment in full in advance to the Site. All funds received by the Site shall be held in an escrow account in the name of Sponsor Desk until the sponsorship is fulfilled.  When the sponsorship, promotional event or publication of an advertisement is completed by Seller, the Seller will have 15 days to send notice through the platform stating that the Sales Agreement has been fulfilled and the confirmation must include a photograph, video or recording of the event or sponsorship. If the Seller fails to submit a notice within 15 days of the sponsorship unit’s execution date, the Seller will forfeit its right to collect its portion of the funds paid by Buyer.

 

The Buyer will have 30 days after the sponsorship unit’s execution date to dispute the sponsorship.  This must be done by labeling the disputed sponsorship in a written submission through the platform stating in reasonable detail the reason for the dispute.  If no dispute notice is received by Sponsor Desk within 30 days of the sponsorship’s execution date,  then the funds will be automatically be disbursed from the escrow account and sent to the Seller, minus the Site’s  operational fees. If a dispute is received from the Buyer, the Seller will get notice of the dispute and have an opportunity to respond in writing within 7 days.  Thereafter, the dispute will be evaluated by the management of the Site and the Site shall issue a final determination if the Sales Agreement was fulfilled or not.  If a determination is made that the Sales Agreement was not fulfilled as agreed then the funds paid by the Buyer will be returned.

 

Completion of Payment:  Payments for any transaction relating to a Sales Agreement may be completed by PayPal directed to the appropriate Sponsor Desk account.  Buyer is responsible for all service fees charged by PayPal. Any use of third-party payment services by you will be subject to the terms and conditions of such third-party payment services, and at your own risk.

 

International transactions may be subject to processing delays.  Neither the Site nor the Seller shall be responsible for any delays, holds or extra fees associated with an international transaction. Sponsor Desk is not responsible for lost payments, identity theft, fraud, tax receipts or refunds.

 

Fraud Protection: In order to protect the Buyer and Seller from fraud, the Site may require additional proof of identity or authorization to complete transactions, including signed credit card authorization forms and/or copies of public documents such as a state driver’s license or federal passport.

 

Buyer’s Responsibilities:  It is Buyer’s responsibility to provide and deliver any artwork, logos, signs, banners, brochures, samples or any other promotion materials to Seller at Seller’s location as specified in the description of each Unit purchased.

 

Exclusivity:  Buyer acknowledges that Sponsor Desk has incurred substantial time, effort and expense in facilitating any promotional opportunity which results in a transaction. Buyer hereby agrees that for six (6) months after the execution of the Sales Agreement on the Site, Sponsor Desk will be the exclusive Site for any further promotional transactions between Buyer and Seller.  Neither party shall solicit, encourage, communicate or otherwise circumvent the site in such a manner as to avoid the exclusive arrangement agreed to herein.

 

If either party acts in breach of this exclusivity section and conducts a transaction directly to avoid the Site, then Buyer will be liable to pay Sponsor Desk for liquidated damages in the amount of $25,000.00 as a reasonable pre-estimate of the damages incurred by Sponsor Desk due to Buyers breach of exclusivity.
