4.3 Box office (POS)

§ 5 Fees & pricing model

5.1 General principle

Use of the platform for guest lists is free — no monthly fees, no setup costs.

5.2 Ticketing fees

A platform fee applies to each ticket sold via the platform (flat fee, no percentages). The fee decreases automatically with your cumulative ticket volume in 5-cent steps. The following principles apply:

  • Start tier: 1,00 € platform fee per ticket sold
  • Reward tiers: the platform fee decreases step by step to at least 0,25 € — based on cumulative sales volume across all events
  • Buyer system fee: by default 1,85 € per ticket (including payment processing; platform share included). You receive the full ticket price
  • QR-PAY / box office: same platform fee and tier schedule as presale tickets

The platform fee is settled via Stripe at transaction time. Tier progress, fees and payouts are visible in the organizer dashboard.

5.3 Box office fees (QR-PAY)

Tickets sold via QR-PAY or the box office module count toward the presale fee tier and use the same per-ticket platform fee.

§ 6 Payouts

Ticket sales are processed by Guestlist.pro as merchant of record. After deducting the platform fee and Stripe transaction costs, your share is paid out to your connected Stripe account. Payout timing depends on your Stripe account and country (typically weekly; often daily or within 24–72 hours). Express payouts (T+1) may be available on request.

The organizer must provide correct bank details (IBAN). Guestlist.pro accepts no liability for delayed or misdirected payments due to incorrect information.

A detailed overview of all transactions, fees, and payouts is available at any time in the organizer dashboard and can be exported as CSV.

§ 7 Cancellation & refunds of tickets

Guestlist.pro sells tickets in its own name as merchant of record. Support, refunds, and payment disputes for ticket purchases are handled by Guestlist.pro.

  • Cancellations: Ticket buyers contact Guestlist.pro or the support contact shown in the shop. Organizers report event cancellations in the dashboard.
  • Refunds: If an event is cancelled, Guestlist.pro refunds the ticket price via the original payment method. The platform fee is not refunded.
  • No right of withdrawal: for Event tickets, there is no statutory right of withdrawal for the ticket buyer pursuant to § 312g (2) no. 9 German Civil Code (BGB).

§ 8 Organizer obligations

  • Accurate information on Event, venue, date, and price
  • Compliance with all official requirements and permits for the Event
  • Lawful handling of guest data in accordance with the GDPR

Guestlist.pro aims for platform availability of 99.9% on an annual average. Planned maintenance is announced 48 hours in advance.

Guestlist.pro is liable only for damages resulting from intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty. Liability for slight negligence is limited to foreseeable, typical contractual damage. This does not apply to damages from injury to life, body, or health.

Guestlist.pro accepts no liability for outages caused by third-party providers (Stripe, hosting provider), provided selection and monitoring of service providers is carried out with due care.

§ 10 Term & termination

The contract is concluded for an indefinite period and may be terminated by either party at the end of any month. Outstanding payouts will still be processed after termination. In the event of serious breaches of these Terms, Guestlist.pro reserves the right to terminate without notice and suspend the account.

§ 11 Data protection

Details on the processing of personal data can be found in our privacy policy.

§ 12 Final provisions

The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies. Place of jurisdiction is Köln, provided the contracting party is a merchant, legal entity under public law, or special fund under public law.

Should individual provisions of these Terms be or become invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions remains unaffected. The invalid provision shall be replaced by a valid rule that comes closest to the economic purpose of the invalid provision.
