Terms of use

Hostasoirée is software and a technical intermediary. We give bars and organizers tools to list a room, receive event requests, sell tickets and coordinate the night.

We do not organize any event. We do not sell alcohol. We are neither the bar nor the organizer. When you buy a ticket, the seller is the event's organizer; when you book a room, your agreement is with the bar.

The company's contact details are in the Legal notice.

By browsing the platform, creating an account or buying a ticket, you accept these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the platform.

Depending on what you do, other documents add to and refine these terms:

• the Terms for organizers and bars, if you sell tickets, list a room or take a subscription;
• the Purchase terms and refunds, if you buy a ticket;
• the Privacy policy, which explains what we do with your personal information.

In case of conflict, the more specific document prevails over these terms for the matter concerned.

An account is needed to list a room, book a room or manage an event. Buying a ticket does not require one.

You agree to provide accurate information and keep it up to date. You are responsible for keeping your password confidential and for everything done from your account. Tell us without delay if you suspect unauthorized access.

If you open an account on behalf of an organization (bar, association, company), you confirm that you have the authority to bind it.

You must be at least 18 years old to open an account.

You may not use the platform to:

• publish false or misleading information about an event, a room, a price or a cancellation policy;
• advertise alcohol in a way contrary to law, in particular with the words "open bar", "all you can drink", "free" or any promotion that encourages drinking;
• sell or resell a ticket above the price set by the organizer;
• avoid service fees, for example by collecting off-platform a sale started on the platform;
• access another user's data, test the service's security without our written consent, or copy the platform's content by automated means;
• send commercial messages to buyers without their consent;
• infringe the rights of others or break an applicable law.

We may remove content, suspend or close an account that breaks these rules. We tell you, unless the law or the security of the service prevents it.

The texts, photos and information a bar or an organizer publishes belong to them. They are responsible for them and warrant that they have the right to publish them.

By publishing content, you grant us a non-exclusive right to display, reproduce and adapt it (for example crop or translate it) only as needed to run and promote the platform. This right ends when you remove the content, except for copies kept as evidence or for compliance.

The platform, its code, name, logo, texts and design belong to us or are used under licence. You may use them for what they are for: browsing, booking, selling, buying. Any other reproduction requires our written consent.

The names and logos of bars and organizers belong to their owners.

We do our best to keep the platform available at all times, but we cannot guarantee it: an update, an outage at a provider or a security measure can interrupt it. We give notice of planned interruptions when we can.

We may change, add or remove features. If a change removes a feature essential to a paid service, we inform subscribers at least 30 days in advance.

We are responsible for the platform: its operation, the protection of the information entrusted to us and the correct processing of the payments we collect on behalf of organizers.

We are not responsible for how an event unfolds, its cancellation, admission at the door, the quality of a room or damages that occur on site. These matters belong to the organizer and the bar, who alone answer for them.

To the extent permitted by law, our liability toward a business user is limited to the fees that user paid us in the twelve months before the event in question.

Nothing in these terms excludes our liability for our own fault or limits the rights granted to you by a law of public order, including the Consumer Protection Act if you are a consumer.

These terms are governed by the laws of Québec and the laws of Canada that apply there.

Any dispute is brought before the competent courts of the judicial district of Montréal, subject to mandatory rules that would allow you to go to another court. A consumer always keeps the right to go before the courts of Québec, and nothing here requires arbitration.

We may change these terms. The date of the current version appears at the top of this page. For a material change, we inform account holders by email at least 30 days before it takes effect, stating what changes.

If you refuse a change, you may close your account before it takes effect, free of charge. Continuing to use the platform after that date counts as acceptance.

These terms are written in French. An English version with the same content is offered for convenience. You may ask that your exchanges with us be in French or in English.

In case of discrepancy between the two versions, the French version prevails, unless you are a consumer who expressly chose to contract in English after having seen the French version.

For any question about these terms, write to [SENSITIVE].
