  1. Ticket Marketplace

 

  • We are a ticket marketplace that allows registered users (each a “User”, and in the context of purchasing Tickets, a “Buyer”) to screen sporting venues for various accessibility needs and purchase tickets, related passes or other services for the events (collectively, “Tickets”). We do not own the Tickets sold through our Services. Ticket prices may exceed the face value of the Ticket.
  • While we may provide pricing, shipping, listing and other guidance through the Services, such guidance is solely informational (without any warranty as to accuracy). Also, while we may help facilitate the resolution of disputes between Users and ticket providers (the “Sellers”), we have no control over and do not guarantee the existence, quality, safety or legality of the Tickets; the truth or accuracy of the related content or listings; the ability of Sellers to sell tickets or Users to pay for them; or that a User or Seller will complete a transaction.
  • We explicitly reserve the right to provide ticket sales through a third-party ticketing platform rather than our own marketplace at our absolute discretion. In such case, you hereby agree to be bound by the provisions of such third-party ticketing platform as you may be directed to by our Website or App, and understand that we are not liable for any breaches thereof by such third party. In such event, you will be informed of the third party’s identity prior and given a link to their applicable terms and conditions prior to being directed to their payment process. In the event that ticket sales occur under this Section 1(iii), the applicable third-party terms and conditions shall replace and supersede the provisions of Section 1(i)-(ii), Section 4, and Section 5 hereof.

‍

You must be at least 18 years of age and must be able to enter into legally binding contracts. If you are registering with us for a business entity, you represent that you have the authority to legally bind that entity.

‍

All communications between you and us (including communications with our service providers, our parent company and/or our affiliates) are subject to our Privacy Policy.

In addition, if you reside in the United States, you understand and agree that we may, without further notice or warning and in our discretion, monitor or record telephone conversations you or anyone acting on your behalf has with us or our agents for quality control and training purposes or for our own protection. Not all telephone lines or calls may be recorded by us so we do not guarantee that recordings of any particular telephone calls will be retained or retrievable.

‍

  1. Fees and Other Charges

‍

  • We may charge fees for buying Tickets through our Website and/or otherwise using our Services, as well as delivery or fulfillment fees (collectively referred to as "Service Fees"). Service Fees may vary depending on event type, Ticket type and location. We may in our sole and absolute discretion change our Service Fees at any time. Any applicable Service Fees including any taxes if applicable will be disclosed to you prior to buying a Ticket. We may charge and/or retain Service Fees if you do not fulfill your contractual obligations under these Terms.
  • If you as a Buyer change your postal address after you have purchased your Ticket(s) and require us to deliver your Ticket(s) to this new postal address, or if you have specified an incorrect postal address, we may charge you for any additional delivery costs which arise out of re-arranging the delivery of your Ticket(s) to the new or correct postal address. Such additional delivery cost may be charged to your Payment Method.
  • We may collect amounts owed using a collection agency or other collection mechanism and you may be charged fees associated with collecting the delinquent payments. We, or the collection agency we retain, may also report information about your account to credit bureaus, and as a result, defaults in your account may be reflected in your credit report.

‍

  1. Buying Tickets; Payments

‍

  • You are responsible for reading the complete listing before making a commitment to buy Tickets. When placing an order, you are entering into a binding contract with the Seller to purchase those Tickets. Additional terms communicated to you by the Seller may apply. All Sales are final. You cannot change or cancel any orders after the sale is complete, unless otherwise specified by the applicable Seller’s terms and conditions.
  • Payments received from Buyers for Tickets purchased via the Services may be processed by us on behalf of the Seller and credited to the Seller in accordance with these Terms. Seller appoints us as its limited payment collection agent solely for the purpose of accepting funds from Buyers on behalf of Seller. Seller agrees that any payment made by Buyer to us shall be considered the same as a payment made directly to Seller, and Seller will make the Tickets available to Buyer in the agreed-upon manner as if Seller had received the payment directly from Buyer. Except as otherwise specified herein, Seller understands that our obligation to pay Seller is subject to and conditional upon successful receipt of the associated payments from Buyer. Except as otherwise specified herein, we guarantee payments to Seller only for such amounts that have been successfully received by us from Buyer. In accepting appointment as the limited payment collection agent of Seller, we assume no liability for any acts or omissions of the Seller.
  • Payments from Buyers are due and payable immediately. A Buyer can pay the full order amount which includes any applicable Service Fees and taxes using one of the accepted Payment Methods. 
  • A Buyer’s obligation to pay for a Ticket is satisfied when we, or Seller, as applicable, have received the payment in full.

‍

  1. Event Cancellations, Postponement, and other Event Changes

‍

  • Cancellation: If an event is canceled and not rescheduled, we will remove the event and any listings related to the event from our Services and inform all affected Users about the cancelation with further instructions. The Buyer is required to retain the Ticket(s) and upon our request to send them back to either the Seller or to us (as instructed by us). The Buyer will receive a full refund or credit for use on a future purchase, as determined in our sole discretion (unless a refund is required by law) once the Seller has sent back the Ticket(s) (if applicable) and the Seller will not be paid.
  • Postponement: If an event is postponed, we will work with all affected Users on a case-by-case basis attempting to resolve any Ticket issues. Tickets will not be resold, invalidated, or changed for postponed events to the extent under our control. We do not accept any liability for any resale, invalidation, or other change to purchased Tickets made by a Seller, which shall be governed by such Seller’s applicable terms and conditions. Refunds shall not be issued for postponed events, unless they are ultimately cancelled as stated above. 
  • Other Event Changes: We are not responsible for partial performances, venue, or other changes beyond our control relating to the Tickets. No refunds will be issued in these instances, other than to the extent required by law. We are not responsible for a venue’s failure to provide the accommodations that it represents to provide.

‍

  1. Legal Disputes

‍

If you reside in the United States or Canada, You and us each agree, except where prohibited by law, that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and us relating in any way to or arising out of this or previous versions of these Terms (including this Agreement to Arbitrate, as the term is defined below) or the breach or validity thereof, your use of or access to the Website or Services, or any tickets or related passes sold or purchased through the Website or Services shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in accordance with its Consumer Arbitration Rules (“Rules”), rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify and so long as the matter remains in such court and advances only on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis (together with the other subsections of Section 16 the “Agreement to Arbitrate”). This Agreement to Arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement to Arbitrate.

‍

  • Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions:
    EXCEPT WHERE PROHIBITED BY LAW, YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, OR REPRESENTATIVE OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND US AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR SHALL NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S OR PARTY'S CLAIMS AND SHALL NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, CLASS, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING.
    ‍
  • Non-Individualized Relief: 
    YOU AND WE AGREE THAT THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY'S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S). If a court decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this paragraph's limitations as to a particular request for relief within a claim, or if not separable the claim itself, then subject to your and our right to appeal the court’s decision, that request for relief within that claim, or if not separable the claim itself, (and only that request for relief within that claim or, if inseparable, that claim) must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court. All other claims will be arbitrated.
    ‍
  • Arbitration Procedure:
    Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, and court review of an arbitration award is very limited. However, an arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual; and an arbitrator must also follow the terms of these Terms, as a court would.

    All issues, including arbitrability, are for the arbitrator to decide, except the scope or enforceability of this Agreement to Arbitrate or the interpretation of this Agreement to Arbitrate shall be for a court of competent jurisdiction to decide.

    The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Agreement to Arbitrate, any part of it, or of these Terms including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of this Agreement to Arbitrate or the Terms is void or voidable.

    The arbitration will be conducted by the AAA under the Rules, as modified by this Agreement to Arbitrate. The Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. The language of the arbitration shall be English.

    A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a completed form Notice of Dispute (‘Notice”). You may download a form Notice. A Notice to us should be sent to Adapt the Game, Inc., Attn: Support, Re: Notice of Dispute, support@adaptthegame.io. We will send any Notice to you to the physical address we have on file associated with your account; it is your responsibility to keep your physical address up to date. All information called for in the Notice must be provided, including a description of the nature and basis of the claims the party is asserting and the relief sought.

    If you and we are unable to resolve the claims described in the Notice within 30 days after the Notice is sent, you or we may initiate arbitration proceedings pursuant to the Rules. A form for initiating arbitration proceedings is available on the AAA's website at www.adr.org. In addition to filing this form with the AAA in accordance with its rules and procedures, the party initiating the arbitration must mail a copy of the completed form to the opposing party. You may send a copy to us at the following address: Adapt the Game, Inc. [ADDRESS]. In the event we initiate arbitration against you, it will send a copy of the completed form to the physical address we have on file associated with your Account. Any settlement offer made by you or us shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator. The arbitration shall be held in the county in which you reside or at another mutually agreed location. If the value of the relief sought is $10,000 or less, you or we may elect to have the arbitration conducted by telephone or based solely on written submissions, which election shall be binding on you and us subject to the arbitrator's discretion to require an in-person hearing, if the circumstances warrant. In cases where an in-person hearing is held, you and/or us may attend by telephone, unless the arbitrator requires otherwise.

    The arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, including recognized principles of equity, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law. The arbitrator shall not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving different users of ours, but is bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same user to the extent required by applicable law. The arbitrator's award shall be final and binding, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

‍

  1. Costs of Arbitration: 

‍

Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the Rules, unless otherwise stated in this Agreement to Arbitrate. If the value of the relief sought is $10,000 or less, at your request, we will pay all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees associated with the arbitration. Any request for payment of fees by us should be submitted by mail to the AAA along with your Demand for Arbitration and we will make arrangements to pay all necessary fees directly to the AAA. If the value of the relief sought is more than $10,000 and you are able to demonstrate that the costs of accessing arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of accessing a court for purposes of pursuing litigation on an individual basis, we will pay as much of the filing, administration, and arbitrator fees as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the costs of accessing arbitration from being prohibitive. If (a) you willfully fail to comply with the Notice of Dispute requirement discussed in subsection 16(iii) above, or (b) in the event the arbitrator determines the claim(s) you assert in the arbitration to be frivolous, you agree to reimburse us for all fees associated with the arbitration paid by us on your behalf that you otherwise would be obligated to pay under the Rules.

‍

  1. Severability: 

‍

With the exception of any of the provisions relating to the prohibition of class actions, if an arbitrator or court decides that any part of this Agreement to Arbitrate is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of this Agreement to Arbitrate shall still apply. 

‍

  1. Opt-Out Procedures: 

‍

You can choose to reject this Agreement to Arbitrate (‘opt out’) by mailing us a written opt-out notice (“Opt-Out Notice”). The Opt-Out Notice must be postmarked no later than 30 days after the date you accept the Terms for the first time. You may also opt out no later than 30 days upon receipt of notice that the arbitration provision is being updated or changed. You must mail the Opt-Out Notice to Adapt the Game, Inc., Attn: Litigation Department, Re: Opt-Out Notice, 4630 S Lakeshore Dr. Unit 103. Tempe, Arizona 85282.

‍

  1. Future Amendments to the Agreement to Arbitrate: 

‍

Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms to the contrary, you and we agree that if we make any amendment to this Agreement to Arbitrate (other than a change to any notice address or website link provided herein) in the future, that amendment shall not apply to any claim that was filed in a legal proceeding between you and us prior to the effective date of the change. The amendment shall apply to all other disputes or claims governed by the Agreement to Arbitrate that have arisen or may arise between you and us. We will notify you of amendments to this Agreement to Arbitrate by posting the amended terms on https://www.adaptthegame.io/#home at least thirty (30) days before the effective date of the amendments and by sending notice via email to your email address on file with us. If you do not agree to the amended terms, you may close your Account within the thirty (30) day period and you will not be bound by the amended terms.

‍

  1. Foreign Claims: 

‍

If you reside outside of the United States or Canada and a dispute arises between you and us, we strongly encourage you to first contact us directly to seek a resolution by contacting us at [support@adaptthegame.io]. For the avoidance of doubt, if you are a consumer residing in the European Union, please note that we do not (and are not legally obliged to) participate in any ADR procedures or services, unless otherwise provided by law.
