When you sign up for an account and agree to these Terms, the Agreement between you and Onstage Publications is formed, and the terms of the Agreement (the “Term”) will begin. The Term will continue for as long as you have an Onstage Publications account or until you or we terminate the Agreement in accordance with these Terms, whichever happens first. If you sign up for an account on behalf of a company or other entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to accept these Terms and enter into the Agreement on its behalf. You understand and agree that the Service is provided to you on an “AS-IS” basis and that Onstage Publications assumes no responsibility for the timeliness, deletion, mis-delivery or failure to store any user communications or personalization settings.

We, as a company, may refuse service, close accounts of any Users, and change eligibility requirements at any time.
If you had a free or paid monthly plan on or before May 16, 2023, the following information regarding Subscriptions, Memberships & Plans may not apply to you and your account. All accounts using Audience Access Service Plans prior to May 16, 2023, will retain the usage limits they had concerning monthly page views as well as the features associated with the Account unless or until the Account is updated and/or changed to a different plan.
4.2. Subscriptions/Memberships/Plans.
Offers and pricing for subscriptions (the “Subscription”) (also referred to at times as memberships or plans), the subscription services, the extent of available subscription features, and the specific themes/abilities available through subscription services may change over time and by location without notice (except as may be required by applicable law).
Your Audience Access subscription will continue and automatically renew until terminated. To use Audience Access as a Subscription service, you must have internet access and a ready device (such as a mobile device, tablet, and/or computer) and provide us with one or more “Payment Methods,” which is defined in these Terms to mean a current, valid, accepted method of payment, as may be updated from time to time and which may include payment through your account with a third party (for example, Stripe). You may choose to cancel your account at any time, subject to the terms set in Section 6 below. You must cancel your membership before it renews in order to avoid billing of the subscription fees for the next billing cycle to your Payment Method (see "Termination/Cancellation" below).
We may offer a number of subscription plans, including subscription plans that contain text, graphical, audio, and/or video advertisements (“Ad-Supported”). Ad-Supported plans where Onstage Publications has placed advertising are not included in the Revenue Sharing Agreement, regardless of whether revenue has been generated from either direct sales, programmatic advertising, or other means unless a Managed Advertising Sales Contract has been signed. Please note that our subscription plans that are not Ad-Supported may still contain limited advertising content, such as branded content or sponsorship messaging that has been directly sold by either the Account holder or our Sales Rep if the Account has signed a Managed Advertising Agreement. Certain subscription plans include the service where Onstage Publications and our on-site design staff build out events for the Account (the “Custom Built Events”); this service varies based on the subscription plan. Subscription plans may have differing features, conditions, and limitations (for example, data retention, SMS messaging, pageviews), which are disclosed on the digital pricing page for Audience Access prior to sign-up. You can also find specific details regarding each subscription herein Sections 4.3 and 4.4, which outline what each subscription plan includes as well as their limitations.
Unless otherwise indicated, any price changes are effective as of the beginning of the next subscription period. If you do not agree to a subscription change, you may cancel your subscription per the Terms set forth in Section 14. The pricing for subscriptions, memberships, or transactions that occur through the platform may include taxes; where applicable, such taxes will be collected by the party with whom you transact for the service, which may be Stripe or a third party. We make no guarantee as to the availability of specific Subscription Features or the minimum amount of Subscription Features available in any subscription. Additional terms applicable to a subscription will be indicated in the informational section for that subscription located in Sections 4.3 and 4.4. Some of the subscription services that we offer are from third parties. Third parties that provide subscription features (for example, through Twilio) may change or discontinue the features of their services or the content in their services. Onstage Publications is not responsible for the content contained in any third-party service or the features of these services.
All Content Submissions are governed by the Terms set forth herein, in Section 5.
4.3. Free Service Plan
All accounts that sign up for Audience Access start on the Free Service Plan until they self-select a higher-tier plan.
▪ Community Plan
All Accounts have access to basic digital program functionality under the free service plan (“Community Plan”). Our Community Plan is an Ad-Supported plan that includes the basic features of Audience Access, including, but not limited to, five hundred (500) page views "page loads" per month on the digital program, one (1) month data retention, one (1) user seat, and access to the QR Code Creator, Design Service features, and the Priority Support network with a response time of three days or less. If you use the Service under the Community Plan and you want to go over the Community Plan limits, you’ll be required to select and pay for a Paid Subscription Plan. Paid Subscription Plans are described in Section 4.4 below. If you exceed your Free Service Plan limits or otherwise upgrade your account to a Paid Subscription Plan, you’ll only be provided one complimentary downgrade to the Free Service Plan (provided your SMS texting credit volume, page views, and other feature usage drop down to the Free Service Plan usage limits in effect at the time of downgrade) per calendar year. If you go over the limits for the Free Service Plan more than once, you’ll no longer qualify for the Free Service Plan, even if your future SMS texting credit volume, page views, and other feature usage are within the limits of the Free Service Plan. Onstage Publications is not required to create, layout, or build any digital events or print materials for the Account unless contracted to do so via the Design Services provided through the Audience Access platform.
4.4. Paid Subscription Plans
If you sign up for a paid monthly subscription plan (the "Monthly Subscription") or a paid yearly subscription plan (the "Yearly Subscription"), you will be required to self-select your plan (e.g., Silver, Gold, Platinum Plus) (together, your “Paid Subscription Plan”) from the options posted on our Audience Access Site based on your anticipated use of the Service. Each Paid Subscription Plan offers different pricing and feature options and has varying usage limits. Once you select your Paid Subscription Plan, Audience Access will never automatically upgrade or downgrade your Paid Subscription Plan. If you exceed your Paid Subscription Plan usage limits (either by exceeding your page view or monthly SMS texting credit limits, or both), you may incur additional charges for the prior billing cycle based on your current Paid Subscription Plan, which will be detailed on your bill and in your account. You can find more information about Overage Fees in Section 6.
A Monthly Subscription will always have the option to downgrade to a lower tier or upgrade to a higher tier plan at any time. If you upgrade or downgrade during a billing cycle, your monthly charge for that billing cycle will be calculated based on the number of days in that billing cycle during which you were at each of the lower tier and the higher tier (including any applicable additional charges for the higher tier). Your bill will reflect a one-time prorated billing charge, which may be more or less than the usual monthly billing amount for the upgraded plan.
Yearly Subscriptions do not have the option to downgrade or upgrade tiers freely, as the Account is paid in full for the entire year. You must contact your account representative to discuss any need to upgrade, downgrade, or increase usage limits in the middle of the Subscription Term.
When you sign up for a Paid Subscription Plan, you agree to monthly or yearly recurring billing, starting on the date you sign up. Billing occurs on the same day each month or year, based on the date that you first started paying for any recurring monthly or yearly plan. Monthly payments are due for any month on the same or closest date to the day you made your first monthly payment (the “Pay Date”). If any part of a month is included in the Term, then payment is required for the full month. Yearly payments are due on the same or closest date to the day you made your first yearly payment (the “Invoice Date”). If any part of a new calendar year is included in the Term and the Account has not notified Onstage or terminated their Account prior to the automatic renewal date, then payment is required for the full year.
If you exceed your self-selected usage limits for your Paid Subscription Plan, you may have to pay additional charges (as described above) for the prior billing cycle on or before the next Pay Date, even if the Term ends or you downgrade to a Free Service Plan before that payment is otherwise due. You may choose to cancel your account at any time, subject to the terms set in Section 14 below.
4.4.1. Ad-Supported Plans
Our Ad-Supported Subscription Plans offer everything our users love about Audience Access' basic features at a lower price, with a few ads in-between. Audience Access ad-supported plans help us at Onstage ensure that our customers can continue to enjoy our digital program, plus other basic features, at a lower monthly rate. Onstage Publications may place Advertisements (as described above) in any of our Ad-Supported Plans as we see fit.

The discount applies to the monthly subscription plan. Your account will automatically be charged on a monthly basis until you cancel.

If you upgrade or downgrade to a different plan, the price will change to the then-current list price for such relevant subscription, and the discount will not be applied to the new subscription plan. Taxes may be applied where applicable. Accounts will be placed on hold if no valid payment method is on file after the promotional period ends. To be eligible for this offer, you must be a new Audience Access customer or an existing customer on the Free Service Plan, and sign up for the corresponding Paid Subscription Plan. The offer is available for a limited time only. The discount has no cash value. Audience Access accounts with compliance holds or violations are ineligible.

If a payment method was not required for the sign up process then you will receive an invoice, to be paid upon receipt, for the then-current monthly price of the Audience Access Plan you signed up for during the promotional event unless you cancel prior to the end of the Free Trial Period.
You can downgrade or upgrade your monthly subscription plan on the Billing Page. Changing your monthly plan will be effective immediately. You will immediately lose the offer if you cancel your account during or prior to the end of the promotional period.

Offers and pricing for the printed program services, the extent of available services, and the specific abilities available through printed program services may change over time and by location without notice (except as may be required by applicable law).
Use of the Managed Program Book Service is available to anyone, regardless of whether they currently have a Paid Subscription Plan account on Audience Access. Anyone wanting to take part in the Managed Program Book Service must sign a Managed Program Book Service contract (the “Contract”) that has been created and agreed upon by both parties. Once the Contract has been signed, you (the “Client”) will be bound by the Terms & Conditions stated in the Contract as well as any applicable terms involving, but not limited to, Printed Program Books and Content Submission that are stated herein.
Onstage Publications reserves the right to refuse to accept a Managed Program Book Service Contract that has not been signed, at any time, for any reason, in its sole discretion.
Unless stated otherwise, price estimates (the “Quote”) do not include the costs of shipping and delivery. Prices vary depending on the publication options selected by the Client and are subject to change. Prior to signing the Contract, the Customer will be provided with an estimated cost. This estimated cost may increase after the Contract has been signed (e.g., due to shipping/delivery costs, expedited printing, increase in page count/quantity, etc.). Onstage Publications is not liable and will not be held responsible for paying any associated costs or fees that are in excess of what was originally estimated when the Contract was signed.
Please contact us at notifications@onstagepublications.com or complete the form located on this page (https://audienceaccess.co/print) to get a Quote for the Managed Program Book Services.
BY SIGNING A MANAGED PROGRAM BOOK SERVICE CONTRACT, YOU AGREE, WITHOUT LIMITATION OR QUALIFICATION, TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS OF USE, AS WELL AS ANY TERMS STATED IN THE CONTRACT, TO WHICH WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO MAKE CHANGES FROM TIME TO TIME, CONSISTENT WITH APPLICABLE LAW. IF TERMS DIFFER BETWEEN THOSE LISTED IN THE SIGNED MANAGED PROGRAM BOOK SERVICE CONTRACT AND THOSE STATED HEREIN, THEN THE MANAGED PROGRAM BOOK SERVICE CONTRACT TERMS SHALL PREVAIL.
▪ Terms of Use
The Client is fully responsible for the final proof and layout approval (including, without limitation, approval of your Managed Program Book Service) prior to the confirmation, production, and printing process. ALL APPROVALS ARE FINAL. Onstage Publications is NOT LIABLE for any errors in a final product caused by you or approved by you, including, without limitation, any of the following reasons: misspellings, graphics, bleeds, grammar, damaged fonts, small fonts, orientation of files, punctuation, wrong cuts, incorrect or missing folds, and finished product size. If you desire material changes or if changes must be made to the completed program book print files due to an error, Onstage Publications reserves the right to charge you, the Client, a fee per change as well as for any additional expenses incurred.
You hereby grant Onstage Publications a royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, transferable, non-exclusive right and license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, edit, publish, share, and display the results and proceeds of your Managed Program Book Service publication in connection with Onstage Publications’ internal business purposes and advertising, indicating that Onstage Publications was the designer of such results and proceeds.
▪ Content Submission Timelines, Schedule, Proofs, & Revisions
All information and materials provided, created, or uploaded by the Client are considered Content Submissions and are governed by the Terms set forth and defined below in Section 5.
The Client must provide all relevant content for each order no later than 21 business days prior to the relevant deadline date. This content shall be submitted in industry-standard digital formats as may be specified by Onstage Publications. If a separate timeline or schedule has been agreed upon or provided by Onstage’s Production Manager, then it shall prevail and govern the content submission schedule.
Managed Program Book Services are limited to eight (8) revisions/corrections per publication. Clients requiring more changes and/or corrections past the allowed limit may be required to pay an additional cost of thirty-five dollars ($35) per additional revision/correction or may be required to make the changes and/or corrections on their own.
Managed Program Book Service provides up to three (3) proofs to the Client per publication, supplied to you via email or other electronic communication addressed to the Client, provided that all necessary content and information are provided. Final designs will be delivered to you electronically via email. Onstage Publications does not provide nor is obligated to provide any design files or artwork we created/supplied. Clients will have three (3) days to request revisions upon receipt of each proof. If the printer deadline is within seven (7) business days, the Client will be required to request revisions within the same day. All print delivery times are estimates, as they can vary based on pages, quantities, and location. Onstage Publications will not be liable for any missed deadlines or delays, for any reason, and will not refund customers for this reason.
The Client agrees to the Content Submission timelines. Onstage Publications is not responsible for any late printed publications that may impact your event/project timeline and/or production; you accept responsibility for not adhering to the content submission terms set forth herein.
▪ Delivery, Title and Risk
Delivery will be made to the address specified in the order confirmation or submitted via email to our Production Manager, provided that all applicable payments have been received in full by their appropriate due date, using Onstage Publications' Printer's standard methods for packaging and in accordance with the delivery option. Delivery services include the time it takes to process, print, dry, package, and ship your order to you. The speed and cost of delivery depend on the availability of the product, the address it will be shipped to, and whether the product printing and shipping need to be expedited.
Any delay in delivery or defect in delivery shall not entitle the Client to cancel or terminate the entire order Contract. The Client agrees that the risk of loss and title for any printed Product passes to you upon the delivery of the Product to the chosen carrier. Subject to Section 17, Onstage Publications will not be responsible for delays, damages, or missing products due to force majeure nor shall Onstage Publications be responsible for delays in delivery due to the Account, carrier, any other third party, or other circumstances beyond Onstage Publications' reasonable control. In no case shall Onstage Publications be liable for any special, incidental, direct, indirect, consequential, punitive, exemplary, or special damages as a result of such a delay in delivery, nor shall Onstage Publications be responsible for any associated costs, replacements, or reprintings as a result of such a delivery.
The Client is responsible for fully inspecting all Onstage Managed Program Book Service products carefully as soon as reasonably practicable after delivery. For any products provided in an electronic format, the Customer agrees that delivery of such Onstage Managed Program Book Service products shall be deemed to have occurred at the time we transmit the product via email or other electronic communication addressed to the Client. Upon inspection, the Client must notify Onstage Publications, by contacting its Production Manager either in writing (including by email) or by telephone, about any alleged defects, non-conformances, or damages within forty-eight (48) hours after receipt of the Onstage Managed Program Book Service products if the Client wishes to request reparations. Failure of the Client to timely notify Onstage Publications after receipt as indicated in this section voids the product and excuses Onstage Publications from any liability.
▪ Creation, Production & Shipping Times
Production time ONLY refers to the time it takes to design and layout your order. Print time ONLY refers to the time it takes to print your order, if applicable. Shipping/delivery times are separate and based on the zip code, if applicable.
Print time on your order begins on the first business day after your order has been approved and processed. Production times are estimated based on a typical Client who adheres to the content submission and revision terms and follows our Production Team's timeline for content submission. Any issues with files or payment may delay your order timeline.
Print time begins on the first day after your final proof is approved and your order is paid for in full.
If any creation and/or production issues are discovered, we'll be in touch with you to get the issues resolved and to discuss any resulting delays.
▪ Rush Orders
Rush Orders are considered to be anything that is outside the scope of what is listed above or does not follow or adhere to the timeline. Rush production is not available for certain products/sizes. Rush Orders must be approved by our Production Manager. Additional fees may be applied to Rush Orders based on, but not limited to, how soon an order is needed, page count, etc.
Holiday Seasons and Rush Orders will affect the production times as well as the shipping/delivery times. Rush Orders may be charged an additional fee of up to fifty dollars ($50) per page produced. This does not include printing/shipping time.
▪ Shipping Times
The estimated shipping/delivery time of your order is separate from the layout/design and production time of your order. Shipping time frames vary based on your location as well as external factors from major mail carriers.
Shipping methods and exact costs are determined by address type and the total weight of items after the full address is entered during checkout. Shipping method availability and costs are subject to change.
To get an estimate on an order timeline, including Creation, Production, and Shipping times, or if you have any questions, please email the Production Manager at notifications@onstagepublications.com.
All Creation, Production, and Shipping times are subject to change due to billing issues, file issues, file reuploads, or holds, which can include, but are not limited to, content not being submitted in the proper time/format, going over the set revisions allowed, orders not being placed in time, etc.
▪ Payments & Fees
All Managed Program Book Services will be sent an invoice or invoices for the total amount, whether in full or partial, as per the billing terms agreed upon in the Contract, upon approval of the final proof. This invoice will include the costs of shipping and delivery, if applicable, as well as any fees incurred during the production process, including but not limited to additional pages added, fees for exceeding the revisions/corrections limits, increased quantity ordered, and failing to adhere to the production timeline resulting in a Rush Order.
IMPORTANT: YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE YOUR MANAGED PROGRAM BOOK SERVICE PRODUCT AND/OR ONSTAGE PUBLICATIONS WILL NOT SECURE PRINTING AND DELIVERY OF THE FINAL PRODUCT UNTIL PAYMENT IS RECEIVED IN FULL.
Note: Rush Orders will affect the final cost of your order and must be approved by our Production Manager; therefore, an estimated cost cannot be accurately calculated.
If you have any questions, please email us at accounting@onstagepublications.com.
4.6. Managed Advertising Sales/Revenue Share
Managed advertising (the “Managed Advertising Service”) (also referred to at times as revenue share or managed ad sales), services, the extent of available services, and the specific abilities available through the managed advertising services may change over time and by location without notice (except as may be required by applicable law).
The Managed Advertising Service is a limited service that is only available to Accounts taking part in a Paid Subscription Plan or Clients that have signed a Managed Program Book Service contract. The Managed Advertising Service requires an agreement (the “Revenue Share Agreement”), provided by Onstage Publications, that must be signed by a representative (the “Agreement Signer”) of the Account and/or Client (the “Organization”) and approved by Onstage Publications.
With the Revenue Share Agreement, the Organization grants Onstage Publications the rights to sell advertising, limited to the pages set forth in the Revenue Share Agreement in each printed publication and unlimited ad spaces in digital publications, on the Organization’s behalf.
Onstage Publications will, in consideration of the opportunity and license granted to Onstage Publications by the Organization, pay a percentage, in the amount set forth in the Revenue Share Agreement or as described below, of the collected ad sales revenue for the digital program and/or printed publications. Please note that the Revenue Share percentage will only include revenue that has been collected from advertising that was directly sold by Onstage Publications’ Sales Reps and not sponsorships, nationally sold, or programmatically placed advertisements.
The Revenue Share Agreement grants Onstage Publications an exclusive license to use the Organization’s name and any business or organization they are affiliated with in obtaining advertising to be included within Audience Access and/or any printed publications. Onstage Publications is also granted the right to use any of the Organization’s trademarks in the design, publication, and/or reproduction of marketing materials for Audience Access. The Organization shall not publish, or facilitate the publication of, during the term of the Revenue Share Agreement any document containing similar subject matter to Audience Access or the printed publications that could in any manner conflict with the sale of advertising. Nothing herein shall preclude the Organization from publishing infrequent, non-advertising-supported publications.
The Organization representatives shall not authorize, engage, or permit any other person or entity to sell advertising on its behalf into the digital program book or printed publications, but nothing herein shall preclude them from including sponsorships or advertising within its allocated space in both the digital program and printed publications. Such sponsorships or advertising must be identified as soon as possible to avoid any conflict with the ad sales effort typically conducted by Onstage Publications several months in advance of each season’s first publication. If Organization converts a sold advertiser from the immediately prior season (in which the advertiser was not also a sponsor) into either: a) a new sponsor that receives advertising as part of the sponsorship in the then-current season, or, b) a barter ad in the then-current season, and, we are unable to renew that advertiser for paid advertising in the then-current season, then Organization agrees to pay Onstage Publications an amount equal to the amount of advertising collected from that advertiser for the prior season. Likewise, if Organization converts a currently sold advertiser from the current season into a new sponsor or barter ad, and that advertiser then cancels its agreement for paid advertising with Onstage Publications, then Organization agrees to pay Onstage Publications an amount equal to the originally contracted amount for the current year, less any net collections by Onstage Publications from that advertiser for the current year. Such payment shall be for the season of the conversion only, and no further obligation to Onstage Publications shall accrue related to that new sponsor. Likewise, such payment shall not be included in the total of collected ad sales and will not be used in determining the Revenue Share amount to be paid to the Organization. All sponsor ads shall be provided to Onstage Publications in a print-ready format acceptable to our production department.
If the Organization taking part in the Revenue Share Agreement cancels a digital or printed publication of a previously planned and announced event/production, refuses to use and/or promote the digital program, downgrades/changes their plan, or terminates their participation/subscription without adhering to the acceptable terms of termination as set forth in the Revenue Share Agreement or herein Section 14, and such cancellation or action is deemed a material change by currently contracted advertisers, requiring Onstage Publications to refund or credit such advertisers, then the representative of the Organization shall be responsible for and liable to Onstage Publications for an amount equal to the total of such refunds and credits. In such an event, the Organization forfeits all rights to the revenue share percentage it would have been paid from the collected ad sales revenue; Onstage Publications will not be required to pay out that revenue and may keep the proceeds generated from collected ad sales in full.
If the Organization refuses to use and/or promote the digital program or downgrades/changes their plan, and such action is deemed a breach of agreement by Onstage Publications, then the representative of the Organization shall be responsible for and liable to Onstage Publications and the Revenue Share Agreement shall be null and void. In such an event, the Organization forfeits all rights to the revenue share percentage it would have been paid from the collected ad sales revenue; Onstage Publications will not be required to pay out that revenue and may keep the proceeds generated from collected ad sales in full.
If an Organization taking part in the Revenue Share Agreement does not adequately promote or use the digital program and/or printed publications in a way that is deemed acceptable and set forth in the Revenue Share Agreement, and such action or inaction is deemed a material change or issue by currently contracted advertisers, requiring Onstage Publications to refund or credit such advertisers, then the representative of the Organization shall be responsible for and liable to Onstage Publications for an amount equal to the total of such refunds and credits. In such an event, the Organization forfeits all rights to the revenue share percentage it would have been paid from the collected ad sales revenue; Onstage Publications will not be required to pay out that revenue and may keep the proceeds generated from collected ad sales in full.
This Revenue Share Agreement shall hereafter be automatically renewed and extended for additional Performance Seasons unless the Client/Account is terminated by Onstage Publications as stated herein, or this Revenue Share Agreement is terminated by either party giving affirmative written notice to the other party of notice not to renew by the first day of February preceding the end of the Initial Term or the first day of February preceding the end of any subsequent renewal Performance Season.
Please contact our team at notifications@onstagepublications.com for more information on the Managed Advertising Services.

Unless stated otherwise, price estimates do not include the costs of shipping and delivery. Prices vary depending on the product options selected by the Customer and are subject to change. Prior to completing an order, the Customer will be provided with an estimated cost. This estimated cost may increase after the order has been placed (e.g., due to shipping/delivery costs, expedited printing, increase in page count/quantity, etc.). Onstage Publications is not responsible for paying any associated costs or fees that are in excess of what was originally estimated when the order was placed.
If the Customer, for any reason, does not comply with Onstage Publications' content submission schedule, for which time is of the essence, Onstage Publications may require expedited production/shipping costs at the Customer’s expense or may terminate this Design Services Order without liability to the Customer on account thereof. Onstage Publications will not be liable for any missed deadlines or delays, for any reason, and will not refund the Customer for this reason. Onstage Publications is not responsible for any late Design Services orders that may impact your event/project timeline and/or production. Onstage Publications is not under any obligation to provide the Customer with any of the working files or content created/designed by our Production Team for any Design Services order.
Use of the Design Services is without any obligation and is subject to availability and confirmation of the order. Onstage Publications reserves the right to reject any order without the obligation to assign any reason. An agreement between you and Onstage Publications is subject to our acceptance of the order and will be formed when you receive the first Content Submission Request email from our Production Manager. Onstage Publications is not under any obligation to provide the Customer with the working files or content created/designed by our Production Team for any Design Services order.

You are responsible for paying for any message or broadcast you attempt to send to any number, regardless of whether the message is actually received by the intended recipient. As Onstage Publications is dependent on other entities for the delivery of your messages and broadcasts, our price per credit may require adjustment to account for costs that are not in our control. Accordingly, we may adjust our fees from time to time without prior notice.
You agree to provide current, complete, and accurate purchase and account information for all purchases made for the Services. You further agree to promptly update account and payment information, including email address, payment method, and payment card expiration date, so that we can complete your transactions and contact you as needed.

6.1. Overage Fees
▪ Pass Through Charges
If at any time after the execution of this Agreement, a Network Operator or other Third-Party changes the Third-Party Charges, such as, but not limited to, charges on Provisioned Phone Numbers, then Onstage Publications, at its discretion, may pass through such fees (“Pass Through Charges”) to you at cost.
▪ Additional Service Fees
During the Term of this Service, the Customer agrees to stay within the number of Active Users, Data Retention, Texting Credits, and Page Views as agreed to and pertaining to the service plan you are currently using. The service features and usage limits can be found stated herein under the corresponding Service Plan listed in sections 3a. and 3b.
▪ SMS/MMS Fees
Each of the Paid Subscription Plans comes equipped with SMS/MMS texting credits that are used to send and receive text messages via the dedicated phone number the Account has chosen or can choose upon entering into one of the Paid Subscription Plans where SMS texting is an option. The quantity of credits allocated for each month varies between the Paid Subscription Plans. If the Account in question exceeds the allowed number of credits per month, then the Account may be charged overage fees in the amount of $0.05 per additional credit used within a billing period.
▪ Page View/Digital Program Usage Fees
Please be aware that page views are tracked using Google Analytics and may take between 24-48 hours to update.

Any usage above 110% within a given month will be considered over usage and Onstage Publications may, at our sole discretion, invoice or automatically charge the additional usage fees to your account.

Onstage Publications only ensures that the Services are processed correctly and further transmitted by Onstage Publications to the applicable network. Onstage Publications is not responsible for the final delivery of any communication initiated through Onstage Publications’ Services, as this is out of our control and is the responsibility of downstream communications carriers.
Onstage Publications transmits and receives text messages and voice broadcasts via other major telecommunications companies and mobile network operators, and thus Onstage Publications’ influence over the timing of the transmission of your messages and broadcasts is only within the technical constraints imposed upon Onstage Publications. While Onstage Publications shall use commercially reasonable efforts to transmit your messages and broadcasts to the applicable network for final delivery to your designated recipients as fast as possible, we cannot commit to, and do not guarantee, a specific maximum delivery time. Such times depend on various network and system-related factors among the various entities involved in the transmission of your messages and broadcasts across the public switched telephone network and/or Internet. You should know that communications carriers assign text messages and voice broadcasts with a default lifetime, and any message or broadcast that cannot be delivered successfully within the lifetime assigned to it will be discarded by the communications carrier without any notice. Onstage Publications is not liable for any loss incurred by the failure of a message or broadcast to be delivered, and you acknowledge that damages for financial or other loss resulting from delivery failure cannot be claimed from Onstage Publications for any such non-deliveries. Furthermore, you agree that message and broadcast contents are deemed to have zero value.

Onstage Publications shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performing our obligations hereunder if such failure or delay is caused by fire, flood, earthquake, elements of nature or acts of God, acts of war, insurrection, terrorism, strike, failure or downtime of any telecommunications line and/or unavailability of any telecommunications or Internet facilities, power failure, governmental restrictions, any court order, compliance with any law, regulation, order of any governmental authority, or any other cause beyond the reasonable control of Onstage Publications. In addition, Onstage Publications shall be excused in the event that it is unable to acquire from its usual sources, and on terms, it deems to be reasonable, any material necessary for the performance of our Services.
18. Choice of Law
The enforceability and interpretation of Section 24 (Agreement to Arbitrate) will be determined in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16, as amended (the “Federal Arbitration Act”), including its procedural provisions. Apart from Section 24 (Agreement to Arbitrate), the Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive law of the State of Ohio (subject to any applicable preemption or supersedence by U.S. federal substantive law) without regard to conflict of law principles that would cause laws of another jurisdiction to apply.
19. Agreement to Arbitrate
Most disputes can be resolved by contacting our Customer Support team. We strongly encourage you to reach out to them before you decide to bring a formal legal case.
▪ We Both Agree to Arbitrate
If we are not able to successfully work together to resolve the dispute, you (and any of your affiliates) and Onstage Publications (and any of our affiliates) all agree to resolve any dispute arising under these Terms (including our privacy policies) or any dispute relating to our Services by binding arbitration in Dayton, Ohio.
This agreement to arbitrate applies to all claims under any legal theory, including any claim that requires the interpretation of this document, except for the exception below in the subsection, Exception to Agreement to Arbitrate. This agreement also continues to apply after you have stopped using our Services. If we have a dispute about whether this agreement to arbitrate can be enforced or whether it applies to the dispute, we all agree that the arbitrator will decide that as well. In addition, if any of us brings a claim in court that should be arbitrated or if any of us refuses to arbitrate a claim that should be arbitrated, the other of us can ask a court to force us to go to arbitration to resolve the claim (i.e., compel arbitration). Any of us can also ask a court to halt a court proceeding while an arbitration proceeding is ongoing.
▪ Exception to Agreement to Arbitrate
Anything in the foregoing paragraphs to the contrary notwithstanding, Onstage Publications may seek injunctive relief in any court having jurisdiction over the parties to enjoin or prevent any action you take or threaten to take in violation of these Terms. Moreover, you consent to the personal jurisdiction of these courts.
▪ Arbitration Procedure
The Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“Rules”) then in effect shall apply to the arbitration, except to the extent that they conflict with any express provisions in this Section 19 (Agreement to Arbitrate).
A single independent arbitrator shall conduct the arbitration. The parties shall endeavor to select the independent arbitrator by mutual agreement. The arbitrator shall be a member of a state bar engaged in the practice of law in the United States or a retired member of a state or the federal judiciary in the United States. If the dispute is one to be decided by arbitration and such agreement cannot be reached within thirty (30) days after the dispute first arose, the selection of the arbitrator shall be made in accordance with the Rules as then in effect.
Each party shall be entitled to inspect and obtain a copy of non-privileged relevant documents in the possession or control of the other party. All such discoveries shall be in accordance with procedures approved by the arbitrator. Unless otherwise provided in the award, each party shall bear its own costs of discovery.
The award of the arbitrator shall be based on the evidence admitted and shall contain an award for each issue and counterclaim. The award shall be made within thirty (30) days following the close of the final hearing and the filing of any post-hearing briefs authorized by the arbitrator. It shall set forth in writing the factual findings and legal reasoning for the award. The arbitrator may, in his/her discretion, award to any party specific performance or injunctive relief (but the foregoing is not intended to limit Onstage Publications’ access to the courts to the extent provided in the subsection, Exception to Agreement to Arbitrate). The arbitrator may not change, modify, or alter any express condition, term, or provision of these Terms.
Except as provided in the Federal Arbitration Act, the arbitration award will be final and binding upon the parties, and no appeal of any kind may be taken. Judgment may be entered thereon in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The statute of limitations applicable under Ohio law to the commencement of a lawsuit shall apply to the commencement of arbitration hereunder.
▪ Recovery of Costs and Attorney’s Fees
In any action or proceeding to enforce rights under these Terms, Onstage Publications and any of its affiliates will be entitled to recover costs and attorneys’ fees if we substantially prevail.
▪ Class Action Waiver
Both you (and your affiliates) and Onstage Publications (and our affiliates) agree that any claims or controversies between us must be brought against each other only on an individual basis. Neither you (and your affiliates) nor Onstage Publications (and our affiliates) can bring a claim as a plaintiff or class member in a class action, consolidated action, or representative action. The arbitrator cannot combine more than one person or entity’s claims into a single case and cannot preside over any class, consolidated, or representative proceeding (unless we agree otherwise). Moreover, the arbitrator’s decision or award in one person or entity’s case can only impact the person or entity that brought the claim, not other Onstage Publications customers; it cannot be used to decide other disputes with other customers. If a court decides that this section (Class Action Waiver) is unenforceable or invalid, then the entire Section 19 (Agreement to Arbitrate) will be null and void. But the rest of the Terms will still apply.
20. Entire Agreement
The Terms are only those stated herein, and they shall constitute the complete agreement between the parties. These Terms supersede all prior and contemporaneous proposals, statements, sales materials, presentations, and agreements, whether oral or written. No terms or conditions stated in or attached to your communications with Onstage Publications are applicable to these Terms in any way, and they are not to be considered exceptions to the provisions of these Terms.
21. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that these Terms will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable.
22. No Waiver
The failure of either party to exercise in any respect any right provided for herein will not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by both parties to be legally binding.
23. Relationship of the Parties
You and Onstage Publications are each independent contractors in the performance of each and every part of these Terms. No agency, partnership, joint venture, franchise, or employer-employee relationship is created as a result of these Terms. You will be solely responsible for all of your employees, agents, and your labor costs and expenses arising in connection with them; Onstage Publications will be solely responsible for all of our employees, agents, and our labor costs and expenses arising in connection with them. Likewise, you will be solely responsible for any and all claims, liabilities, damages, or debts of any type that arise on account of your activities or those of your employees or agents in the performance of these Terms; Onstage Publications will be solely responsible for any and all claims, liabilities, damages, or debts of any type that may arise on account of our own activities or those of our employees or agents in the performance of these Terms. You do not have any authority of any kind to bind Onstage Publications in any respect whatsoever, and you shall not attempt to do so or imply that you have the right to do so.
24. Notice
All notices that you are required to make hereunder shall be in writing. Onstage Publications may give notice to you by means of a general notice on the Onstage Publications Sites or Services, electronic mail to your email address on record in Onstage Publications’ account information for you, or by written communication sent by personal delivery, fax, overnight courier, or certified or registered mail to your address on record in Onstage Publications’ account information for you.
25. Texting Guidelines
Onstage Publications will not contact any of your patrons; all communication relies on you, the organization. Regulations governing how campaigns reach out to people on their mobile phones make the opt-in process mandatory for text messaging campaigns. Organizations need to receive permission from the patron before sending out messages.
26. Downtime & Refund Policy
For purposes of this Agreement, a Unit of Downtime is one period of at least one day (24 hours) during which access to Audience Access is unavailable because of problems with hardware or system software. Downtime does not include:
- Problems caused by factors outside of our reasonable control.
- Problems resulting from any actions or inactions by you or any third party.
- Problems resulting from your equipment and/or third-party equipment not within our sole control.
- Network unavailability during scheduled maintenance of our network and/or web servers.
In any calendar month, we guarantee that Downtime will not exceed one Unit of Downtime excluding, however, regularly scheduled maintenance. Any regularly scheduled maintenance will be performed during the hours of 10 pm and 8 am. We work to ensure the functioning of all web servers through continuous monitoring by our staff.
If Downtime exceeds one Unit of Downtime in any calendar month, we will, upon your written request, credit your account (a “Downtime Credit”) in an amount equal to the pro-rata price for one (1) day of service, for each instance of Downtime as that term is defined herein.
To receive Downtime Credit, you must request such credit by sending an email to accounting@onstagepublications.com within seven (7) days after the occurrence of Downtime. The aggregate maximum number of Downtime Credits to be issued for any and all instances of Downtime occurring in a single calendar month will not exceed seven (7). Downtime Credits will be applied upon issue of the first invoice following the request for Downtime Credit unless the Downtime occurs in your final month of service. In such a case, a refund for the dollar value of the Downtime Credit will be mailed to you within thirty (30) days of the expiration of your service agreement.
If you are unhappy with any aspect of our service, please contact us and we will attempt to rectify the situation. Because we are providing a service, which starts when you create the Account, we cannot provide a refund except when the service has not been acceptable. This is at our discretion only. No refunds will be made if we terminate your account due to violation of our Acceptable Use Policy or any other violation of our Terms and Conditions, except as may be provided therein. This does not affect your statutory rights. No bill credit will be given for a period of suspension.
