The Client may offer will call tickets for events.

Tixsa will provide the Client with a Discrepancy Form to give to such ticket purchasers who arrive at the scheduled event and their names are not on the will call list. The information on the Discrepancy Form will allow Tixsa to research and follow-up on whether said ticket purchasers already paid for event tickets. If the tickets were already paid for, the information on the discrepancy form would be destroyed. If the tickets were not already paid for, Tixsa will use the information to charge the ticket purchaser for attendance at the event. It is the Client responsibility to ensure the Discrepancy Form is filled out accurately. Any inaccuracies may result in non-payment to the Client of said will call ticket purchaser's ticket.
15. Personal information of ticket purchasers
When a ticket purchaser buys a ticket for a Client event trough the Tixsa ticket buying system, certain person information is made available by the ticket purchaser to Tixsa and such information will be available to the Client for limited use. The Client undertakes not to abuse (for example, sell to a third party or use for any purpose not related to future tickets sales or improving its business or introducing ticket purchasers to other related products or services of the Client) the personal information made available to it and indemnifies Tixsa against any claim or action which a ticket purchaser may institute against Tixsa should the Client not adhere to these terms.
