2. TICKET PLAN & LICENSE INFORMATION:

(a) License:

(i) Each Ticket represents a separate limited, non-renewable license revocable at the sole and absolute discretion of the Licensor with or without cause (the “License”) and which only permits: (A) entry to the Event identified on the Ticket and the publicly-accessible areas of the Facility (or applicable portion thereof) at times determined by Licensor; and (B) sitting in the Seat, unless the Ticket is designated “General Admission.” Valid Tickets must be presented to enter the Facility.

If the Seat(s) is/are not available due to any of the aforementioned reasons, then Licensor will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Licensee with the opportunity to license a Ticket elsewhere in the Facility, subject to availability and as determined by Licensor. If Licensor is unable to provide Licensee with the opportunity to license a Ticket elsewhere in the Facility to a Game, then Licensee shall be entitled, as its sole remedy, to a credit in an amount equal to the Purchase Price for the Game to which the Seat(s) was/were determined by Licensor to be unavailable. Such credit may be applied towards the purchase of Tickets to another Game within 12 months of the originally scheduled Game, subject to availability.

(iv) The License, the T&Cs, the terms and conditions contained on the backs of any Tickets and the Facility Rules contain the entire agreement of Licensor and Licensee with respect to the matters provided for herein (the “Agreement”) and shall supersede any representations or agreements previously made or entered into by either Licensor or Licensee (whether oral or written).

(b) Season Tickets:

(i) The License is limited to the Games in the Spring Training Season or Regular Season covered by the Ticket Plan.

The License, the Account and/or any duties, obligations, rights and privileges may not be assigned or transferred in any manner, whether voluntarily or by gift, bequest, or operation of law, by Licensee to any other person or entity without the express written consent of Licensor.

4. PAYMENT:

(a) Failure to make full payment of the entire Purchase Price for all Tickets on such dates and pursuant to such terms and conditions established by Licensor constitutes a material breach of the License and T&Cs. Any payment plan granted by Licensor is merely an accommodation and does not entitle Licensee to: (i) any portion of Tickets and/or Events if the full Purchase Price is not paid; and/or (ii) apportion any payment to any Tickets and/or number of Events.

(b) Any and all sums due hereunder from Licensee, whether the Purchase Price or otherwise, if not paid when due, shall bear interest at the lesser of: (i) one percent (1%) per month; or (ii) the maximum rate then permitted by applicable Law from the date due until paid.

Licensee shall reimburse Licensor for any fee, penalty, interest or other charge paid by Licensor in respect to any Taxes. As used herein, “Taxes” mean any and all use, sales, privilege, rental, admission, amusement, entertainment, occupancy and other taxes, charges, impositions, levies, fees and assessments that are or may be assessed, levied or imposed with respect to the Tickets (including with respect to the use of and/or access to the Suite but specifically excluding Licensor’s income taxes).

Any violation of the foregoing is the sole responsibility of Licensee. Licensor will investigate any violations of the License and/or T&Cs. The failure of Licensee and/or Holder to cooperate with any investigation constitutes a material breach of the License and T&Cs.

(b) Licensor may take any action that Licensor deems appropriate including issuing a warning, temporarily or permanently suspending an Account and/or denying access to an Account and/or Licensee's My Steinbrenner Field Account, if: (i) the License, any T&Cs and/or any Policy are breached and/or violated; (ii) Licensee breaches the Account's terms of use; (iii) Licensor is unable to verify or authenticate Licensee’s information; (iv) Licensor believes that Licensee's conduct may cause legal liability for Licensor; or (v) necessary for the safety and/or protection of patrons or to address fraud or misconduct.

Licensor shall have no obligation to mitigate its damages as a result of any Default or failure or misrepresentation by Licensee. The decision whether to re-license any Tickets in the Seats and the terms and conditions pursuant to which any Tickets may be re-licensed shall be made by Licensor.

No waiver by Licensor of any Default or breach by Licensee of its obligations hereunder shall be construed to be a waiver or release of any other subsequent Default or breach by Licensee hereunder and no failure or delay by Licensor in the exercise of any remedy provided for herein shall be construed to constitute a waiver thereof or of any other right or remedy available to Licensor.

14. MANDATORY ARBITRATION AGREEMENT & CLASS ACTION WAIVER (“ARBITRATION AGREEMENT”):

(a) Licensor cares deeply about maintaining good relationships with fans. If Licensee/Holder has a problem, a telephone call to customer service may resolve the matter quickly and amicably. Any dispute not resolved informally must be resolved in accordance with this Arbitration Agreement.

(b) Unless prohibited by federal law, Licensee and Licensor agree to arbitrate any and all claims and disputes relating in any way to the Agreement, the License, the T&Cs the purchase or use of any Ticket Plan and/or Ticket, the participation in, attendance at, and/or observation of any Event by Licensee and any Holder (including any accompanying minor) (collectively, for purposes of this Arbitration Agreement, the “Covered Licensees”), and any related dealings between them, including claims of personal injury (including illness and death) or property damage arising out of attendance at and/or participation in any Event by any Covered Licensees (“Arbitration Claims”), except for Arbitration Claims concerning the validity, scope or enforceability of the Arbitration Agreement, through BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION. This Arbitration Agreement involves interstate commerce and shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16 (“FAA”), and not by state law.

(c) In any Arbitration Claim to be resolved by arbitration, neither Covered Licensees nor Licensor will be able to have a court or jury trial or participate in a class action or class arbitration. Other rights that Covered Licensees and Licensor would have in court will not be available or will be more limited in arbitration, including the right to appeal. Covered Licensees and Licensor each understand and agree that by requiring each other to resolve all disputes through individual arbitration, THE COVERED LICENSEES AND LICENSOR ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A COURT OR JURY TRIAL. ALL DISPUTES SHALL BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, AND NOT AS A CLASS ACTION, REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION OR ANY SIMILAR PROCEEDING. The arbitrator(s) may not consolidate the claims of multiple parties.

(d) Arbitrations shall be administered by JAMS in accordance with its then-existing commercial arbitration rules. Covered Licensees may obtain information about arbitration, arbitration procedures and fees from JAMS by calling 305-371-5267 or visiting www.jamsadr.com. If JAMS is unable or unwilling to arbitrate a dispute, then the dispute may be referred to any other arbitration organization or arbitrator the parties both agree upon in writing or that is appointed pursuant to section 5 of the FAA. The arbitration shall take place in Tampa, Florida. The arbitration shall be presided over by a single arbitrator, who shall be selected in accordance with the rules that, as specified above, shall govern the arbitration. The arbitrator shall be authorized to award any relief that would have been available in court, provided that the arbitrator’s authority is limited to Covered Licensees and Licensor alone, except as otherwise specifically stated herein. No arbitration decision will have any preclusive effect as to non-parties. The arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding. The Covered Licensees and Licensor agree that the Arbitration Agreement extends to any other parties involved in any Arbitration Claims, including, but not limited to, all Covered Licensees and the Released Parties. This Arbitration Agreement shall take precedence over the rules of the arbitration organization or arbitrator in the event of any conflict.

(e) Payment of all filing, administration, hearing and other fees (“Arbitration Fees”) will be governed by the JAMS's rules. Covered Licensees will be responsible for paying Covered Licensee’s share of any Arbitration Fees, but only up to the amount of the filing fees Covered Licensees would have incurred in the state or federal court in Florida, whichever is less. Licensor will not seek attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, Covered Licensees and Licensor may seek relief in a small claims court for Arbitration Claims within its jurisdiction. In addition, Covered Licensees and Licensor each may exercise any lawful rights to seek provisional remedies or self-help, without waiving the right to arbitrate by doing so. Notwithstanding any other provision of the License and T&Cs, if the foregoing class action waiver and prohibition against class arbitration is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, then the entire Arbitration Agreement shall be void. If any portion of the Arbitration Agreement other than the class action waiver and prohibition against class arbitration is deemed invalid or unenforceable, it shall not invalidate the remaining portions of the Arbitration Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of the License and T&Cs and/or the bankruptcy or insolvency of a party (to the extent permitted by applicable law).

(f) LICENSEE HAS THE RIGHT TO REJECT THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, BUT LICENSEE MUST EXERCISE THIS RIGHT PROMPTLY. If Licensee does not wish to be bound by the Arbitration Agreement, Licensee must notify Licensor by mailing a written opt-out notice, postmarked within seven (7) days after Licensee acknowledges acceptance of and agrees to be bound by these T&Cs. Licensee must send the request to: GMS Field, Attn: Ticket Office, Re: Arbitration, 1 Steinbrenner Drive, Tampa, Florida 33614. The request must include your full name, address, account number, and the statement “I reject the Arbitration Agreement contained in the Ticket Terms and Conditions.” If Licensee exercises the right to reject arbitration, the other terms of the License and T&Cs shall remain in full force and effect as if Licensee had not rejected arbitration.

(g) Prior to bringing a claim under the Arbitration Agreement, the party seeking to bring a claim (the “Claimant”) shall give the other party or parties written notice of the Arbitration Claim (a “Claim Notice”) and a reasonable opportunity, not less than 30 days, to resolve the Arbitration Claim. Any Claim Notice to one or more of Licensor shall be sent by mail to: GMS Field, Attn: Ticket Office, Re: Tickets Terms and Conditions Claim Notice, 1 Steinbrenner Drive, Tampa, Florida 33614. Any Claim Notice must (i) identify the Claimant by name, address, email address, and telephone number; (ii) explain the nature of the Arbitration Claim and the relief demanded; and (iii) be submitted only on behalf of the Claimant, and not on behalf of any other party. The Claimant must reasonably cooperate in providing any information about the Arbitration Claim that the other party reasonably requests and must give the other party a reasonable opportunity to respond to the demand for relief.
