1. Your Purchase of Event Tickets.

 

1. If you do not receive a confirmation number (in the form of a confirmation page or email) after submitting payment information in connection with your purchase of a ticket to an Event, or if you experience an error message or service interruption after submitting payment information, it is your responsibility to confirm via your account with us or the customer service of our third party payment processor whether or not your order has been placed. Only you may be aware of any problems that may occur during the purchase process. We will not be responsible for losses (monetary or otherwise) if you assume that an order was not placed because you failed to receive confirmation.

 

1. You will receive an Event and Hotel/Venue Information Letter by email two weeks before the scheduled dates of your Event. If you have not received such email by two weeks before the scheduled dates of your Event, please contact: support@e3association.com.

 

• When purchasing tickets to an Event, you may be limited to a specified number of tickets (also known as a “ticket limit”). If we or an Event organizer or host imposes a ticket limit, it will be posted during the purchase process and verified with every transaction. We reserve the right to cancel any or all orders and tickets, in addition to prohibiting your ticket purchase abilities, without notice to you, if you exceed, or attempt to exceed, any posted ticket limits. This includes orders associated with the same name, e-mail address, billing address, credit card number or other information.

 

1. If the amount you pay for a ticket is incorrect, whether because of an error in the price posted on our Services or the Event content, or otherwise communicated to you, then we will have the right to cancel that ticket (or the order for that ticket) and refund to you the amount that you paid. This will apply regardless of the error occurred because of human error or a transactional malfunction of our Services, the Event content or the actions, inactions or systems of our third party payment processor.

 

1. In order to utilize your ticket(s), you will need to present the ticket to the Event organizer/host. If your ticket was delivered electronically, then you acknowledge and agree that the Event provider may require you to present your ticket using your mobile device.

 

1. Before purchasing tickets for an Event, please carefully review your Event selection. We may – but do not have the obligation to – issue you a refund after a ticket has been purchased or lost, or stolen, damaged or destroyed.

 

• We may occasionally offer Event tickets at a discount after the original on-sale date and will not refund the difference between the original price and the sale price.

 

• You agree that you will not attempt to evade, avoid, or circumvent any refund prohibitions in any manner with regard to Event tickets purchased by you. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you will not seek a “chargeback” from the company whose credit card you used to purchase tickets for an Event. Should you do so, your tickets may be canceled, and we may, in our sole discretion, refuse to honor pending and future ticket purchases made from all credit card accounts or online accounts on which such chargebacks have been made, terminate your membership with the applicable E3 Program, and/or prohibit all persons in whose name the credit card accounts exist and any person who accesses any associated online account or credit card or who otherwise breaches this provision from using all or any portion of our Services.

 

1. Unlawful resale (or attempted resale), counterfeit or copy of Event tickets is grounds for seizure and cancellation without compensation. Certain maximum resale premiums and restrictions may apply in some states, and we cannot be responsible for providing legal advice regarding resale or pricing of tickets. You are responsible for complying with all applicable ticket resale laws. In addition, we reserve the right to restrict or deny ticket purchasing privileges to anyone that we determine to be, or has been, in violation of our policies. Because we do not guarantee the authenticity of tickets purchased from any non-authorized third party reseller (such as brokers or individuals), we recommend that you purchase Event tickets directly through us, authorized partners or from the venue box office to ensure ticket authenticity. Event tickets may not be used for advertising, promotions, contests or sweepstakes, unless formal written authorization is given by us and the Event provider.

 

1. Pricing and Availability. You acknowledge that Event providers will set the face price of tickets for their Events and that tickets for popular events may sell out quickly. Occasionally, additional tickets may be available prior to the Event, but this is not guaranteed.

 

1. Ticket Transfers. Ticket transfers are strictly prohibited without our prior, written consent, which we may withhold in our sole and absolute discretion. We may cancel transferred tickets if they were obtained fraudulently or otherwise in violation of these Terms, Event Provider Rules or other applicable terms and conditions. [If an Event is canceled or rescheduled, only the original purchaser will be eligible for a refund].

 

1. Rescheduled or Canceled Events.  We reserve the right to cancel or postpone an Event in our sole discretion. If we cancel or postpone an Event, we will use reasonable efforts to reschedule the canceled or postponed Event within twelve (12) months from its original start date. Registration or ticket fees paid for a canceled or postponed Event shall be applicable to the rescheduled Event on a dollar-for-dollar basis only. In the event we elect not to reschedule the canceled Event, we will offer the original purchaser a refund. If wfe issue a refund, our responsibility is limited to a refund of any registration fee(s) paid or ticket face value paid (or, for a discounted ticket, then instead the discounted ticket price paid). We will not be liable for travel, hotel, or any other costs, expenses or losses that you or anyone else incurs in connection with a canceled or postponed Event. Please allow thirty (30) days for processing any refunds or credits.

 

1. Changes to Events. We reserve the right to change any and all presenters and content for an Event without notice.

 

1. Recording, Transmission and Exhibition. You acknowledge and agree that all Events are considered public events, that your appearance and actions inside and outside the Event site are public in nature, and that you have no expectation of privacy with regard to your actions or conduct at the Event. You grant permission to us and the Event provider(s) to utilize your name, image, likeness, acts, poses, plays, appearance, movements, and statements in any live or recorded audio, video, or photographic display or other transmission, exhibition, publication or reproduction made of, or at, the event (regardless of whether before, during or after play or performance) for any purpose, in any manner, in any medium or context now known or hereafter developed, without further authorization from, or compensation to, you or anyone acting on your behalf.

 

1. Liability Release and Waiver. As further described in (and consistent with) Section 11 (Limitations on Liability), you voluntarily assume all risks and danger incidental to any Event in which you participate or attend, whether occurring before, during or after the Event, and you waive any and all claims for damages, including for personal injury or death, against us, and all owners, agents, officers, directors, managers, and employees on behalf of yourself. You bear all risks of inclement weather. Event date and time are subject to change. Also, while Event organizers may maintain certain insurance, we do not make any guarantees as to the insurance policies held by Event organizers or hosts.

12. INDEMNIFICATION. You agree to indemnify, defend and hold us and our affiliates, licensors, and service providers, and its and their respective officers, directors, members, managers, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, suppliers, successors, and assigns harmless from and against any and all claims, actions, losses, damages, judgments, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and the costs of enforcing this provision and of pursuing any insurance providers) (collectively, “Losses”) arising from or relating to: (i) any of Your Materials, including any use, disclosure or storage of the same by us or on our behalf in accordance with these Terms; (ii) your violation of these Termsor your use of our Services, in whole or in part, including, but not limited to, any use of our Services’ content and products other than as expressly authorized in these Terms, your use of any information obtained from our Services, or any act, investment or other decision made by you as a result of or otherwise in connection with your use of our Services; or (iii) use of our Services by any other person using your Access Credentials.

We reserve the right, at our own expense and on notice to you, to assume exclusive defense and control of any such claim or action.

 

13. OUR REMEDIES. You acknowledge that we may be irreparably damaged if these Terms are not specifically enforced, and damages at law would be an inadequate remedy. Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of any provision of these Terms by you, we will be entitled, in addition to all rights and remedies, to an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach, without being required to show any actual damage or to post an injunction bond, or to a decree for specific performance of the provisions of these Terms. You agree that (notwithstanding Section 14 below) we may bring any action or proceeding with regard to such injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach in the courts of record of Broward County, Florida, or the United States District Court, Southern District of Florida, Fort Lauderdale Division. You consent to personal jurisdiction over you by such court and to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court, and waive any objection to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in such court.

 

14. DISPUTES: ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, AND CLASS WAIVER.

 

Please read this section carefully. Except as these Terms otherwise provide, you waive your rights to try any claim in court before a judge or jury and to bring or participate in any class, collective, or other representative action.

14.1     Agreement to Binding Arbitration

Before initiating arbitration, you acknowledge and agree that you will first give us an opportunity to resolve your problem or dispute. This includes sending a written description of your problem or dispute to us including, but not limited to, information or representations related to our Services and upon which you rely. You may seek to resolve any customer concerns through our support services at support@e3sassociation.com or send the written description by U.S. Mail Attn: General Counsel. You agree to negotiate with us in good faith about your problem or dispute. If for some reason your problem or dispute is not resolved to your satisfaction within 30 days after our receipt of your written dispute, you agree to the dispute resolution provisions below.

By agreeing to these Terms, you agree that you are required to resolve any claim that you may have against us on an individual basis in arbitration, as set forth in this Section 14. You and we agree that any disputes between us (including any disputes between you and a third-party agent of E3) will be resolved through binding and final arbitration and not in a court. This includes, but is not limited to, (a) any dispute, claims, or controversy arising out of or relating to any part of these Terms, or the existence, breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof; or (b) your access to or use of our Services at any time. Such dispute shall be submitted to the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) for individual arbitration in Broward County, Florida (or such other location as you and we mutually agree) and shall be before one arbitrator. The arbitration shall be administered by the AAA pursuant to its Consumer Arbitration Rules and Procedures, only as modified by this Arbitration Agreement.

The parties agree that the arbitrator (“Arbitrator”), and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any disputes relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Arbitration Agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The Arbitrator shall also be responsible for determining all threshold arbitrability issues, including issues relating to whether these Terms are unconscionable or illusory and any defense to arbitration, including waiver, delay, laches, or estoppel.

By agreeing to individual arbitration, you understand and agree that you are waiving your right to maintain other available resolution processes, such as a court action or administrative proceeding, to settle any disputes or claims. The rules in arbitration are different. There is no judge or jury. Although review is limited, an Arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as would be available in court, and must enforce the same limitations stated in these Terms as a court would.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court and the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party’s copyright rights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights.

14.2     No Class Action

You and we each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action. This means that you and we each agree to arbitrate in our individual capacities only, not as a representative of a class, a member of a class, or a Private Attorney General. Likewise, an Arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.

14.3     Rules and Governing Law

The arbitration will be administered by the AAA in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect, except as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. The AAA Rules are available at https://www.adr.org/sites/default/files/Consumer_Rules_Web_1.pdf. The rules of the arbitral forum will govern all aspects of the arbitration, except to the extent those rules conflict with these Terms.

Notwithstanding any choice of law or other provision in these Terms, the parties agree and acknowledge that this Arbitration Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (“FAA”) will govern its interpretation and enforcement and proceedings pursuant thereto. It is the intent of the parties that the FAA and AAA Rules shall preempt all state laws to the fullest extent permitted by law. If the FAA and AAA Rules are found to not apply to any issue that arises under this Arbitration Agreement or the enforcement thereof, then that issue shall be resolved under the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.

14.4     Arbitration Process

You can begin the arbitration by submitting a Demand for Arbitration, which is a statement containing basic information about the dispute: (a) the names, addresses and phone numbers of the parties involved (you and E3, in most cases); (b) a description of the dispute; and (c) a short statement of the relief you are seeking. The AAA provides a Demand for Arbitration form on its website. Or you may contact the AAA at 800-778-7879.

Complete the Demand for Arbitration and make at least four (4) copies. Keep one copy for your records. Send one copy to us by certified mail at General Counsel, Notice of Dispute, ADDRESS: [   ].

Send the final two copies of the Demand for Arbitration to the AAA. Please be sure to include (1) a copy of this arbitration provision (you may obtain a copy from these Terms); and (2) the appropriate AAA filing fee. The filing fee is currently $200, but the AAA may change the amount of the fee. You may obtain the amount of the fee by consulting the AAA’s rules. Those rules may be obtained by visiting the Consumer section on the AAA’s website, or by calling the AAA at 800.778.7879.

Unless you and we agree otherwise in writing, in the event that any provision of this section is found not to apply to you or to a particular claim or dispute as a result of a decision by the Arbitrator or a court order, any claim or dispute that has arisen or may arise between you and us must be resolved exclusively by a state or federal court located in Broward County, Florida. You and we will submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within Broward County, Florida for the purpose of litigating all such claims or disputes.

14.5     Arbitrator’s Decision

The Arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims exclusively in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, including recognized principles of equity, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law. The Arbitrator will not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving our other users, but is bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same user to the extent required by applicable law.

Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the Arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings of fact and conclusions of law on which the award is based. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction. This clause shall not preclude the parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of competent jurisdiction. The Arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding on all parties.

Judgment on any award rendered by the Arbitrator is final, binding and conclusive on you and us and your and our respective administrators, executors, legal representatives, successors and assigns.

With the exception of disclosures to affiliates and legal counsel, all negotiations and arbitration proceedings related to a dispute (including a settlement, award, or the documents and briefs exchanged or produced during arbitration) are confidential and may not be disclosed by the parties except to the extent necessary for interim measures or conservatory relief, the enforcement of an arbitration award, or as required by law.

14.6     Fees

Payment of all filing, administration and Arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s applicable consumer rules. The parties shall be responsible for their own attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration, unless they are authorized by law or the Arbitrator determines that a claim was frivolous or brought for an improper purpose or in bad faith. In addition, the provisions of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 68 shall apply and be enforced by the Arbitrator.

15. MISCELLANEOUS. You may not assign these Terms or your rights to use all or any portion of our Services without our prior written consent. No delay or omission by us to exercise any right or power under these Terms will impair any such right or power or be construed as a waiver thereof. A waiver by us in any one instance of any of the covenants, conditions or agreements to be performed by you will not be construed as a waiver with respect to any succeeding instance in which the same provision may apply. The headings contained in these Terms are for convenience of reference only, are not to be considered a part of these Terms and will not limit or otherwise affect in any way its meaning or interpretation. These Terms are for the sole benefit of the parties and their respective permitted successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or will confer upon any other person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever, under or by reason of these Terms. If any provision of these Terms is found by any court, Arbitrator, or administrative body of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability will not affect the other provisions of these Terms, which will remain in full force and effect. These Terms represent the entire understanding and agreement between us and you with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersede all other negotiations, understandings and representations (if any) made by and between such parties, whether orally or in writing.

 

16. INTERPRETATION. For purposes of these Terms, (a) the word “including”, or any variation thereof means “including, without limitation” and shall not be construed to limit any general statement that it follows to the specific or similar items or matters immediately following it; (b) the word “or” is not exclusive; and (c) words denoting the singular have a comparable meaning when used in the plural, and vice-versa. These Terms shall be construed without regard of any presumption or rule requiring construction or interpretation against the party drafting an instrument or causing any instrument to be drafted. These Terms are drafted in the English language. If these Terms are translated into any other language, the English language text will prevail.
