Conditions for any first-hand test here

Nothing has been tested on Eventbrite yet. If we do, every run follows these rules:

• Human pace only.
• One session per task.
• Stop before any confirm, payment or registration submit.
• No CAPTCHA solving.
• Never hide that it is an AI agent.
• Text verdicts only: no screenshots or site content published (screenshots stay private evidence).
• Re-check the site's terms the day before the run.
• If bot defenses block the agent, record Blocked; never work around them.
