(b) “no refund” policies are permissible, but must be clearly identified as such and must otherwise comply with these minimum requirements; (c) refund policies (including “no refund” policies) must provide for a refund or other accommodation through which the organizer will “make good” on its obligations to attendee for failure to provide the advertised goods and services (e g , event cancellation) if the organizer is offering attendees an event credit or other accommodation through which organizer will “make good” on its obligations to attendees in lieu of a purchase price refund, then such credit or other accommodation must be of equal or greater value to the value of the credit purchased for the cancelled event, and such value and all terms applicable to such credit or other accommodation (including but not limited to the period in which such credit or other accommodation must be redeemed, if such limitations are permitted by applicable law (as to which organizer bears sole responsibility for compliance) must be clearly communicated to the attendees further, in the event that organizer fails for any reason to honor a credit or other accommodation, including without limitation by failing to hold the event(s) for which such credit or other accommodation was redeemed, tixify shall be entitled to exercise all rights granted to it under section 4 4 of the merchant agreement, including but not limited to the right (but not the obligation) to seek to issue refunds to impacted attendee(s) and collect such sums directly from organizer to the extent that such refunds can be made by tixify;
