1.1 Your use of any Vancouver Fringe’s products, services, and web sites (referred to collectively as the “Services” in this document and excluding any services provided to you by the Vancouver Fringe under a separate written agreement) is subject to the terms of a legal agreement between you and the Vancouver Fringe. “Vancouver Fringe” means the Vancouver International Fringe Festival, as operated by the First Vancouver Theatrespace Society, whose principal place of business is at 1398 Cartwright Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6H 3R8.

1.3 Your agreement with the Vancouver Fringe will also include the terms of any Legal Notices applicable to the Services, in addition to the Universal Terms. All of these are referred to below as the “Additional Terms”. Where Additional Terms apply to a Service, these will be accessible for you to read either within, or through your use of, that Service.

1.4 The Universal Terms, together with the Additional Terms, form a legally binding agreement between you and the Vancouver Fringe in relation to your use of the Services. It is important that you take the time to read them carefully. Collectively, this legal agreement is referred to below as the “Terms”.
