The Holder acknowledges that the foregoing is not an exhaustive list of the risks and dangers the Holder will be exposed to a result of the Holder Activities, and the Holder voluntarily and freely accepts and assumes these and all other such risks and dangers the Holder may encounter or be exposed to and understands and acknowledges that the waivers, releases and indemnities in these Supplemental Terms expressly apply to these risks and dangers (whether foreseen or unforeseen).
  4. No Representations by the Company or Arena Parties. The Holder acknowledges and agrees that no representations or warranties of any kind whatsoever have been or will be made to the Holder by the Company or the Arena’s operator and owner (the “Arena Parties”), or any of their affiliates or any of their affiliates’ representatives with respect to the Holder Activities (and Holder expressly disclaims reliance on representations and warranties of any person with respect to the Holder Activities) and that the Holder is engaging in the Covered Matters at the Holder’s own risk.
  5. Liability Waiver & Release.  In full knowledge and complete assumption of all of the risks, the Holder, for itself and on behalf of the Holder’s spouse, domestic partner, children, parents, grandparents, step-parents, step-children, and, if the Holder is an entity, such entity’s officers, directors, employees, service providers and subsidiaries, and in any case, whether an individual or an entity, each of the foregoing’s estate, heirs, assigns, executors, administrators and affiliates (the Holder collectively with the foregoing, the “Releasing Parties”) hereby irrevocably agrees that the Releasing Parties will not sue or claim against the Company or any of its parents, subsidiary entities, affiliates, sponsors, successors and assigns, the Arena and the Arena Parties, and each other person or entity who attends, participates in or provides services in connection with the Event and the respective directors, officers, members, managers, employees, agents, service providers, sponsors, business partners, contractors, partners, equityholders and representatives, in their individual, personal and representative capacities for each of the foregoing entities, and each of the foregoing’s estate, heirs, assigns, executors, administrators and affiliates (the “Released Parties”) for any injury (including emotional and/or mental distress), illness, damage, loss or harm to any Releasing Party or such Releasing Party’s property or the Releasing Party’s death or disability, whether in connection with COVID-19 or otherwise, resulting or arising out of or in any way related to the Holder Activities. In consideration for the opportunity to attend the Event, and with full knowledge and complete assumption of any and all risks, the Releasing Parties hereby forever voluntarily release, discharge, waive and relinquish any and all past, present and future claims and causes of action, specifically including, but not limited to, any claims based on negligence, that they may have against the Released Parties, as a result of any injury (including emotional and/or mental distress), illness, damage, loss or harm to any Releasing Party or such Releasing Party’s property, or the Releasing Party’s death or disability, whether in connection with COVID-19 or otherwise, resulting or arising out of or in connection with the Holder’s travel for and attendance at the Event. The Holder hereby waives and relinquishes on behalf of itself and the Releasing Parties any and all rights and benefits to which such Releasing Party may have under any statute or common law principle of any jurisdiction which provides, generally, that a general release does not extend to claims which a creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor. Without limiting the foregoing, the Holder, on behalf of itself and the Releasing Parties, expressly waives any and all rights and benefits conferred by the provisions of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code (“Section 1542”) and by any similar provision of the applicable laws of any other jurisdiction, including, but not limited to, Nevada, Delaware and New York, and expressly consents that this release shall be given full force and effect according to each of its express terms, including, but not limited to those relating to unknown or unsuspected claims. Section 1542 states in full:

A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM, MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.

            The Holder, on behalf of itself and the Releasing Parties, acknowledges that such Releasing Party may hereafter discover facts in addition to or different from those which such Releasing Party now knows or believes to be true with respect to the subject matter hereunder, but it is such Releasing Party’s intention to fully and finally and forever settle and release any and all matters, disputes and differences, known or unknown, suspected and unsuspected, which do now exist, may exist or heretofore have existed between any Releasing Party and any Released Party with respect to the subject matter hereunder.  In furtherance of this intention, the releases herein shall be and remain in effect as full and complete general releases notwithstanding the discovery or existence of any such additional or different facts.  The Holder, on behalf of itself and the Releasing Parties, further covenants and agrees that such Releasing Party has not heretofore sold, transferred, hypothecated, conveyed or assigned, and shall not hereafter sue any Released Party upon, any claim released hereunder, and that each Releasing Party shall indemnify and hold harmless the Released Parties against any loss or liability on account of any actions brought by such Releasing Party or such Releasing Party’s assigns or prosecuted on behalf of such Releasing Party and relating to any claim released hereunder.  

  1.

Without limiting the foregoing, any transfer of this Ticket to any person who does not comply with these Supplemental Terms may be voided by the Company and the Ticket cancelled. Breach of any of these Supplemental Terms, failure to comply Company and/or Arena rules, or the refunding to the Holder of the Face Value, shall automatically terminate any rights that the Holder may have hereunder; shall render illegal and unauthorized the Holder’s use of the Ticket for any purpose; and shall authorize the Company to withdraw the ticket, refuse admission to the Arena, or eject the Holder from the Arena, without refund in each case, and subject the Holder to all legal remedies available to the Company and/or Arena. Without limiting the foregoing, the Holder agrees not to give or offer this ticket in a manner that would constitute a violation of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, any other anti-bribery law or regulation, or any conflicts of interest law, regulation, or policy. ALL TICKET SALES ARE FINAL. NO REFUNDS OR EXCHANGES EXCEPT AS PROVIDED HEREIN. THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY (IF ANY) IF ADMISSION IS REFUSED OR REVOKED, OR THE EVENT IS CANCELLED AND NOT REPLAYED, IS A REFUND OF UP TO THE TICKET'S FACE VALUE SET BY THE COMPANY (THE "FACE VALUE").  IN NO EVENT SHALL THE COMPANY, ARENA OR ARENA PARTIES BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, OR ANY DAMAGES OF ANY KIND BEYOND THE FACE VALUE OF THE TICKET, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY AMOUNT PAID IN EXCESS OF FACE VALUE FOR THIS TICKET.
  2. Choice of Law. These Supplemental Terms have been delivered at and shall be deemed to have been made at Las Vegas, Nevada, and shall be interpreted, and the rights and liabilities of the parties hereto determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada, regardless of the geographic location of the Holder Activities or the Event. These Supplemental Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada without giving effect to the conflicts of law principles thereof that would result in the application of the law of a jurisdiction other than Nevada.
  3. ARBITRATION. Any dispute or disagreement between the parties hereto arising out of or in connection with any term or provision of these Supplemental Terms, the subject matter hereof, or the interpretation or enforcement hereof, the applicability of this Section 8 to such dispute or disagreement, or the organization or internal affairs of the Company (in each case, a “Dispute”) shall be submitted to final and binding arbitration in Las Vegas, Nevada, administered by Judicial Arbitration & Mediation Services (“JAMS”), or its successor, in accordance with the rules and procedures of JAMS then in effect.  The parties agree that any and all Disputes that are submitted to arbitration in accordance with these Supplemental Terms shall be decided by three (3) neutral arbitrators who are retired judges or attorneys licensed to practice law in Nevada. Each party shall select one (1) arbitrator and those party-selected arbitrators shall jointly select the third arbitrator, who shall act as chairman of the arbitral tribunal.  If the party-selected arbitrators are unable to select the third arbitrator, JAMS shall designate the third arbitrator.  The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the expedited procedures set forth in the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures as those Rules exist on the effective date of these Supplemental Terms, including Rules 16.1 and 16.2 of those Rules.  Any party may commence the arbitration process called for in these Supplemental Terms by filing a written demand for arbitration with JAMS, with a copy to the other party.  The parties agree that they will participate in the arbitration in good faith and that they will share equally in the administrative costs and arbitrator’s fees associated with the arbitration; provided, however, that each party will bear its own attorneys’ fees and costs associated with the arbitration. The arbitrator shall apply Nevada law without reference to conflicts of laws principles that would result in the application of the law of a jurisdiction other than Nevada.  In any arbitration arising out of or related to these Supplemental Terms, the arbitrators are not empowered to award punitive or exemplary damages, except where permitted by statute, and the parties waive any right to recover any such damages.  Nor may the arbitrators award any incidental, indirect or consequential damages, including damages for lost profits.  Any award issued as a result of such arbitration shall be final and binding between the parties thereto and shall be enforceable by any court having jurisdiction over the party against whom enforcement is sought.  The parties expressly acknowledge and understand that by entering into these Supplemental Terms, they each are waiving their respective rights to have any Dispute between the parties hereto adjudicated by a court or by a jury. THE HOLDER AND COMPANY AGREE THAT ALL DISPUTES SHALL BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND THE HOLDER WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO LITIGATE IN COURT OR ARBIRTRATE ANY CLAIM AS A CLASS ACTION, REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, OR CLASS ARBITRATION.  IF THE HOLDER DOES NOT CONSENT TO THIS CLAUSE, THE HOLDER MUST NOT PURCHASE OR ACQUIRE OR HOLD OR POSSESS THE TICKET AND IMMEDIATELY LEAVE OR NOT ENTER THE ARENA OR ATTEND THE EVENT.

  5. Entire Agreement. To the extent of any conflict between any term or provision of these Supplemental Terms and any term or provision of any other agreement relating to the Event (including the Ticketmaster Terms of Use) or otherwise that would, in each case, reduce or limit the rights, or expand the obligations or liabilities of, the Company and/or the Released Parties, in relation to the matters contemplated hereby, the terms and provisions of these Supplemental Terms shall govern and control exclusively and the conflicting terms and provisions of such other agreement shall be of no force or effect. These Supplemental Terms constitutes the entire understanding of the parties, and revokes and supersedes all prior agreements between the parties and is intended as a final expression of their agreement.
  6. Amendment. These Supplemental Terms may be amended or modified only by an agreement in writing signed and expressly acknowledged by both the Company and the Holder.
  7. Third-Party Beneficiaries. Each Released Party is an express third-party beneficiary to these Supplemental Terms; provided, that no Released Party (other than the Company) may enforce these Supplemental Terms except at the direction of the Company. These Supplemental Terms shall not be construed as giving to any person, other than the Released Parties, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of these Supplemental Terms.
  8. Severability.  Each provision of these Supplemental Terms shall be considered severable and if for any reason any provision or provisions hereof are determined to be invalid and contrary to any existing or future law, such invalidity shall not impair the operation of or affect those portions of these Supplemental Terms which are valid.
  9. Conflict.  Solely as between Holder and Ticketmaster (and its affiliates), Ticketmaster’s Terms of Use shall apply and to the extent such Terms of Use conflict with these Supplemental Terms, Ticketmaster’s Terms of Use shall prevail. As between Holder and Company and as between Holder and the Released Parties (other than Ticketmaster and its affiliates), these Supplemental Terms and Ticketmaster’s Terms of Use shall apply, and to the extent these Supplemental Terms conflict with Ticketmaster’s Terms of Use, these Supplemental Terms shall prevail.
