Accounts & Registration

Account Creation

To use the Service, you must create an Account by providing accurate and complete information. You agree to keep your account information current and notify us promptly of any changes.

Account Security

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity that occurs under your Account. You must not share credentials between users; each User must have their own login. Notify us immediately at support@ticketdawg.com if you suspect unauthorized access.

Administrator Responsibilities

The Customer's designated account administrator ("Admin") is responsible for managing user access, ensuring all Users comply with these Terms, and for the security and appropriate use of the Account. TicketDawg will not be liable for losses caused by unauthorized access resulting from the Customer's failure to maintain proper security practices.

Age Requirement

You must be at least 18 years old to create an Account or enter into these Terms on behalf of an organization. The Service may be used by employees who are minors (where permitted by applicable law) under the supervision of the account administrator.

Subscriptions & Payment

Subscription Plans

The Service is offered on an annual subscription basis at the following tiers:

  • Starter (Small Haunt): $300/year — up to 25 employees
  • Professional (Growing Haunt): $450/year — up to 100 employees
  • Enterprise (Major Haunt): $900/year — unlimited employees

All plans include access to the full feature set. SMS messaging can be purchased in increments of 1,000 text messages for $25.

Payment Terms

Annual subscription fees are due in full at the time of purchase or renewal. We accept payment via major credit cards processed through our payment provider. All fees are in U.S. dollars.

Free TrialNew customers receive a 7-day free trial with full access to all features. No credit card is required to start a trial. If you do not subscribe before the trial ends, your account will be suspended and data retained for 30 days.

Renewals & Cancellation

Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each annual term unless cancelled. You may cancel at any time through your account settings or by contacting us. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period — you retain full access until then.

Refund Policy

Subscription fees are generally non-refundable. If you experience a material service failure attributable to TicketDawg, please contact us within 30 days. We will evaluate refund or credit requests on a case-by-case basis. Disputes may be escalated per Section 14.

Price Changes

We reserve the right to change subscription pricing. Any price increase will be communicated at least 30 days before your next renewal date. Your continued use after the new pricing takes effect constitutes acceptance.

You are responsible for complying with applicable health information privacy regulations (such as HIPAA where applicable) in connection with this data.
