Disclaimer of Warranties

We provide the site and the content to you “as is” and “as available.” We try to keep the site up, bug-free, and safe, but you use it at your own risk. To the fullest extend permissible by law, and to the extent that applicable law permits the disclaimer of express or implied warranties, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including any warranty of title, non-infringement, accuracy, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or warrantees that may arise from course of dealing or course of performance or usage of trade.

Limitation of Liability

In no event will we or our event organizers, suppliers, advertisers and sponsors, be responsible or liable to you or anyone else for, and you hereby knowingly and expressly waive all rights to seek, direct, indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages of any type, and any rights to have damages multiplied or overwide increased, arising out of or in connection with the site, the content, or any product or service purchased through the site, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages, and regardless of whether the claim is based upon any contract, tort, or other legal or equitable theory. Without limited for foregoing, you expressly acknowledge and agree that we will have no liability or responsibility whatsoever for (a) any failure of another user of the site to confirm to the Codes of Conduct, (b) personal injury or property damage, of any nature whatsoever, whether arising in contract or in tort, resulting from our access to and use of our site, (c) any unauthorized access to or use of our secured servers and /or any and all personal information and/ or financial information sorted therein, (d) any bugs, viruses, worms, trojan horses, defects, date bombs, time bombs or other items of a destructive nature which may be transmitted to or through our site, (e) any errors, mistakes, inaccuracies or omissions in any content, or (f) any lost stolen or damaged tickets, or the failure of a venue to honor a ticket. Your sole and exclusive remedy for dissatisfaction with the site is to stop using the site. The limitations in this section will apply even if any limited remedy fails of its essential purpose. The allocation of risk between us is an essential element of the basis of the bargain between us. Our aggregate liability arising out of these terms or the use of the site will not exceed the greater of one hundred dollars ($100.00) or the amount you have pai us in the past twelve months. In no event will attorneys’ fees be awarded or recoverable. Our liability will be limited under this paragraph to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and the provisions of this paragraph will not apply to the extent applicable law permits the recovery of damages, attorneys’ fees or cost otherwise prohibited under this paragraph. The provisions of this paragraph that (A) prohibit damages to be multiplied or otherwise increased, (B) impose a damages limitation of the greater of one hundred dollars ($100.00) or the amount you have paid us in the past twelve months, and (C) prohibit the recovery of attorneys’ fees and costs, do not apply in certain states, including without limitation New Jersey, to claims brought under statutes permitting such recovery.

Disputes, Including Mandatory Arbitration and Class Action Waiver

ANY DISPUTE OR CLAIM RELATING IN ANY WAY TO YOUR USE OF THE SITE, OR TO PRODUCTS OR SERVICES SOLD, DISTRIBUTED, ISSUED, OR SERVICED BY US OR THROUGH US, WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION, RATHER THAN IN COURT, with the following exceptions:

  • You may assert claims in small claims court if your claims apply;
  • If a claim involves the conditional license granted to you as described in the Ownership of Content and Grant of Conditional License section above, either of us may file a lawsuit in a federal or state court located within Hillsborough County, Florida, and we both consent to the jurisdiction of those courts for such purposes; and
  • In the event that the arbitration agreement in these Terms is for any reason held to be unenforceable, any litigation against us (except for small-claims court actions) may be commenced only in a federal or state court located within Hillsborough County, Florida, and we both consent to the jurisdiction of those courts for such purposes.

The arbitration agreement in these Terms is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA), including its procedural provisions, in all respects. This means that the FAA governs, among other things, the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration agreement and all of its provisions, including, without limitation, the class action waiver discussed below. State arbitration laws do not govern in any respect.

This arbitration agreement is intended to be broadly interpreted and will survive termination of these Terms. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to the extent permitted by law to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of this Agreement is void or voidable.

There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages) and must follow these Terms as a court would. For the avoidance of doubt, the arbitrator can award public injunctive relief.

Severability

It is our belief that these Terms do not contain any provision contrary to law. However, if any part of these Terms is determined to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, you agree that: (a) that part shall nevertheless be enforced to the extent permissible in order to effect the intent of these Terms, and (b) the remaining parts shall be deemed valid and enforceable.
