All paid subscriptions are billed on a monthly recurring basis and will automatically renew at the conclusion of each billing cycle unless:
The User cancels their subscription through the Platform’s settings prior to the next renewal date; or
The subscription is terminated in accordance with these Terms or applicable law.
By enrolling in a paid subscription, you authorize Wimbo and its payment processor (Stripe) to charge the applicable monthly fees, including any applicable taxes, to your designated payment method until such time as you cancel.
This consent constitutes a valid authorization under the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (E-SIGN Act, 15 U.S.C. §§ 7001–7031) and equivalent electronic commerce statutes in other jurisdictions.

All payment processing is handled by Stripe, a third-party payment services provider. By subscribing to a paid plan, you agree to be bound by Stripe’s Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and any other applicable policies.
Wimbo does not directly store full payment card information and disclaims liability for any processing error, data breach, or service disruption attributable to third-party processors, to the extent permitted by law.
4.4 Service Fees and Deductions
In connection with ticket sales, Wimbo applies a non-refundable platform service fee of 4% of the ticket price. This fee:
Covers operational costs, fraud prevention infrastructure, and administrative support;
Is deducted from the ticket proceeds prior to any escrow distribution;
Remains non-refundable even where an event is cancelled by the organizer or attendee.
For a full breakdown of event-related fees and deductions, including escrow, Stripe transaction costs, and refund eligibility, refer to Section 10 (Refund and Escrow Policy) and Appendix A (Fee Schedule).
5. ESCROW AND EVENT MONETIZATION
Wimbo enables Users to host and attend ticketed events by offering an integrated escrow-based payment and release system, facilitated through Stripe Connect, a regulated third-party payment processor. This mechanism is designed to promote transactional integrity, reduce fraud, and ensure that funds are disbursed in accordance with fair and transparent event completion protocols.
5.1 Escrow Mechanics
All payments for ticketed events made via the Platform are deposited into a designated, segregated escrow account administered by Stripe on behalf of the event organizer, subject to the following terms:
Funds are held in escrow from the time of purchase until the event is successfully completed, verified, or deemed fulfilled in accordance with Wimbo’s platform signals (e.g., host confirmation, time-stamped attendance logs, or system-generated triggers).
Wimbo does not hold or control escrowed funds directly, and disclaims fiduciary responsibility for such funds. All escrow operations are governed by the terms and service levels established by Stripe, including its Connect Platform Agreement and compliance with applicable financial laws and anti-money laundering standards.
5.2 Refunds for Cancelled Events
If an event is cancelled by the organizer, or is not held as scheduled, all attendee payments shall be automatically refunded in full, excluding the non-refundable 4% Wimbo platform service fee, which is retained to cover administrative, infrastructure, and payment gateway costs.
Refunds shall be processed through Stripe’s platform and subject to standard disbursement timeframes, which may vary depending on the user’s financial institution and jurisdiction.
Wimbo shall not be liable for any delays in refunds arising from third-party banking systems, force majeure, or user error in inputting incorrect payment credentials.
5.3 Organizer Payout and Conditions
Event organizers shall receive net disbursement of proceeds, minus applicable fees and costs (see Appendix A), only after the event has been deemed successfully completed by the Platform or confirmed manually by the host.
Disbursement is subject to the following conditions:
The host’s Stripe Connect account must be fully verified and compliant with local Know-Your-Customer (KYC) obligations;
No disputes or refund claims must be pending at the time of payout;
Wimbo reserves the right to withhold, delay, or suspend disbursement in cases of fraud reports, regulatory orders, chargebacks, or material breach of these Terms.
Organizers acknowledge and accept that Wimbo is not a payment institution, does not provide licensed financial services, and acts solely as a technology intermediary in facilitating third-party escrow functionality.
