MEETMAKER, LLC
STATEMENT OF UNDERSTANDING
Effective August 14, 2026
This Statement of Understanding ("Agreement") is made by and
between MeetMaker, LLC ("MeetMaker"), a North Carolina limited liability
company, and the undersigned event organizer or organization ("Customer")
utilizing MeetMaker’s services for the listing, registration, and management of
sporting events.
1. Scope of Services
MeetMaker provides an online platform for sporting event
registration and optional sales of event-related items and admission tickets.
The services include:
- A customer-accessible setup portal for event data entry.
- Internal review and approval process before events go
live.
- A publicly viewable event details page.
- An event director portal with real-time registration data
and management tools.
- Downloads and API access for event registration data
import into third-party scoring systems.
- Email notifications for event changes, registrations, and
late registration updates.
- Online storefront capabilities for the sale of
event-related items and admission tickets.
- A refund processing webpage allowing the event director to
issue refunds via original payment methods.
2. Financial Terms
- A $75 event listing fee is required per event.
- MeetMaker collects all registration and item/ticket sale
payments on behalf of the Customer.
- Payment made to MeetMaker by any participant, club, or
purchaser toward amounts owed to the Customer discharges that payer’s
obligation to the Customer in the amount paid, whether or not MeetMaker
has yet remitted those funds to the Customer.
- A 3% processing fee is withheld from gross
collections as MeetMaker’s income.
- A reduced processing fee is offered based on submitted
events within a single season (June 1 – May 31):
- 2.75% for 5–9 submitted events.
- 2.5% for 10 or more submitted events.
- Sales tax may be configured by the Customer as a single
flat rate per event and applies to all items/tickets flagged as
taxable.
- 100% of collected sales tax is remitted to the
Customer, who is the Seller of Record and solely responsible for
remitting the tax to the proper authorities.
- A sales tax report is available in the event
director portal.
- All registration, item, ticket, and sales tax amounts
collected by MeetMaker on the Customer’s behalf are held in an account
segregated from MeetMaker’s operating funds and are not commingled
with them. MeetMaker records such amounts as an obligation owed to the
Customer rather than as MeetMaker revenue. MeetMaker’s only property
interest in collected funds is the processing fee described above and any
other amounts owed to MeetMaker under this Agreement.
- MeetMaker disburses funds to the Customer via ACH
transfer every Tuesday, subject to the following:
- Registration fees have cleared into our account.
- Early disbursements are not available.
3. Refunds and Payment Disputes
- MeetMaker does not issue refunds.
- A refund webpage is provided for the Customer to initiate
refunds via original payment method.
- Refunds may only be issued for event registration fees.
No refunds will be processed for items or tickets.
- The refund portal supports issuing either flat-rate
or percentage-based refunds per participant.
- Refunds may be processed at any time, provided the
participant’s event status is set to "Scratched".
- MeetMaker is not liable for unsuccessful ACH collections
or rejected payments. Attempts will continue until the event date.
- A $25 fee will be charged to the registering
participant for any returned ACH payment.
- Payment status for each registrant or club is available to
the Customer, who has discretion over participation eligibility.
- The Customer designates a disbursement account for receipt
of funds under this Agreement and authorizes MeetMaker to debit that
account by ACH for: (a) the amount of any refund initiated by the
Customer where the corresponding funds have already been disbursed; and
(b) any fees associated with the foregoing.
- Where sufficient undisbursed funds remain associated with
the Customer’s event, MeetMaker may offset against those funds in lieu of
debiting the disbursement account. This authorization remains in effect for
twelve (12) months following the Customer’s most recent event on the
platform.
4. Responsibility for Event Content
- The Customer is solely responsible for all event
information entered into the system.
- MeetMaker assumes no liability for errors, inaccuracies,
or misrepresentations in event data.
- MeetMaker is not responsible for participant injury,
loss, or third-party claims related to the event.
5. Use of Services

unlawful, fraudulent, harassing, abusive, defamatory, obscene, or otherwise
objectionable purposes. This includes but is not limited to:
- Disseminating malware or harmful code.
- Infringing on intellectual property rights.
- Violating applicable laws or regulations.
- Engaging in spam, phishing, or other unsolicited
marketing.
MeetMaker reserves the right to suspend or permanently
terminate service for violations of this section.
