Ticket Payments

Ticket purchases for the Greenwich Concours D’Elegance made through the Website include all event fees and applicable taxes as itemized and displayed on-screen to you before you complete the payment (each, a “Payment”). 

Hagerty uses the services of ShowClix, a third-party payment processor, to facilitate all payment processing on the Website. ShowClix’s Terms of Service and Privacy Policy apply.

You must have a valid method of payment on file when making your Payment, and the card you provide to Hagerty must be in your name or you must be able to evidence your permission to use it. 

All information that you provide in connection with a Payment processed by Hagerty must be accurate, complete, and current.  By clicking on the designated button to authorize a Payment, you agree to pay the amount indicated according to the card issuer agreement governing the card whose details you have provided.

Cardholder Consents for Processing

You acknowledge and agree that Hagerty is authorized to charge your debit or credit card for the amount indicated as the Payment and to obtain updated or replacement expiration dates and card numbers as provided by your credit card issuer.  Payment transactions by card will only be completed after receiving successful authorization from your card issuer.

Notwithstanding that all sales are final and non-refundable (see Refunds and Cancellation), where you consent for your debit or credit card credentials to be stored to facilitate any future Payments, your card credentials will be stored in a tokenized form corresponding with ShowClix’s practices, solely for the purposes of reversing or voiding transactions when necessary.

Chargebacks and Disputes

If you need to register a dispute regarding a Payment or any other charge processed by Hagerty you must first notify Hagerty of your complaint directly at info@greenwichconcours.com. If you are unsatisfied with our response to your request, then refer to the terms of business with the issuer of the card you used to make the Payment regarding what recourse rights are available to you.

For the purposes of limiting merchant processing costs levied on Hagerty, you will use reasonable and good faith efforts discuss the charges with Hagerty before challenging any charge directly with your bank, credit card company, or other financial institution.

Refunds and Cancellation

The Greenwich Concours D’Elegance is a rain or shine event, so all ticket sales are final and non-refundable.
