Further, if the licensee conducts business through the use of the internet, the same price list, or hyperlink to the same, shall be conspicuously displayed on the internet page on which tickets are accessed. In addition the licensee shall publish in a conspicuous place, or hyperlink to on the internet a statement clearly detailing the required guarantees required by section 25.07 of this article.

An online resale marketplace shall post a clear and conspicuous notice on the website that the website is for the secondary sale of a ticket, that the price of such ticket offered for sale may exceed the established price and shall also state the refund policy of the platform in connection with the cancellation or postponement of an event. An online resale marketplace shall require that the user confirm having read such notice before completing any transaction. For the purposes of this section, an "online resale marketplace" means any operator or manager of a website or other electronic service that resells tickets or serves as a platform to facilitate resale, or resale by way of a competitive bidding process.
