CID Presents, LLC Purchase Policy (effective as of September 19, 2016)

Welcome to the CID Presents, LLC (“CID”) Purchase Policy (this “Policy”).  This is a legally binding contract between you and CID Presents, LLC (“Producer”, “we”, “us”, “our”), and is designed to ensure your satisfaction and understanding of the purchase process for certain events produced by us. If you are making a purchase on behalf of someone else, the Terms contained in this Policy shall also apply to that person(s) and it is your duty to inform such person(s) of this Policy. Please read this Policy carefully prior to purchasing any ticket to the Event via TicketsToday (the “Ticketing Website”) or any other source and/or attending the Event. This Policy is subject to, and is in addition to, any other information posted by Producer and/or TicketsToday, including, without limitation, the CID’s Terms of Use and CID Privacy Policy.

By purchasing a ticket to, and/or attending, the Event you acknowledge and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions set forth in this Policy as well as the CID Terms of Use and CID Privacy Policy.  If you do not agree to this Policy, please do not attend the Event or purchase anything, or enter into any transaction, with Producer.  Be sure to return to this Policy periodically to review the most current version of the Policy.  We reserve the right at any time, at our sole discretion, to change or otherwise modify this Policy without prior notice.

  1. Age Limits; Transaction Information; Revocable License; Refusal of Admission.

ALL SALES ARE FINAL AND NON-TRANSFERABLE.  NO REFUNDS, NO EXCHANGES, NO RESALE, NOT REDEEMABLE FOR CASH.  The resale or attempted resale of any good, product or service at a price higher than that it was sold for is prohibited and if discovered will result in such good, product or service being voided without refund or other compensation.  A ticket to the Event or any other related perk may not be used for advertising, promotion (including sweepstakes, contests and giveaways), or other trade or commercial purposes without the express written consent of Producer. Mexico residents/citizens may be subject to a 16% added VAT tax, which will be charged as an incidental to your credit card provided to your Hotel.

YOU MUST BE AT LEAST EIGHTEEN (18) YEARS OF AGE TO PURCHASE A TICKET TO AND/OR ATTEND (WITH A VALID PHOTO IDENTIFICATION) THE EVENT.  DEPENDING ON THE PARTICULAR EVENT, CHILDREN SEVENTEEN (17) YEARS OF AGE OR YOUNGER MAY ATTEND THE EVENT (FOR FULL PRICE) ONLY IF ACCOMPANIED BY THEIR PARENT OR LEGAL GUARDIAN (WITH VALID PROOF OF SUCH) AT ALL TIMES.   NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, CERTAIN EVENTS, HOTELS OR RESORTS MAY HAVE HIGHER MINIMUM AGE REQUIREMENTS; PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO ALL DETAILS OF EACH PACKAGE DESCRIPTION PRIOR TO PURCHASING, AS NO REFUNDS OR EXCHANGES WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR ERRONEOUSLY PURCHASED PACKAGES.

A ticket to the Event is a revocable license.  We reserve the right, without refund of any portion of the price paid or other compensation to you, to refuse admission or to eject any person from the Event, and/or withdraw or refuse to begin services or provide goods to any person, who fails to comply with this Policy, the rules of an applicable third party, and/or applicable local, state or federal law or ordinance, in whole or in part, or whose conduct is deemed by us or the applicable third party as disorderly, annoying, illegal, vulgar, abusive, threatening, uncomfortable, aggressive, or out of compliance with this Policy or the applicable third party’s terms, conditions, rules or policies (all of the above in this sentence, collectively, “Removal Behavior”).

2.              Refunds and Exchanges

ALL SALES, PURCHASES, AND PARTIAL PURCHASES UNDER A PAYMENT PLAN ARE FINAL, NON-REFUNDABLE, AND NON-TRANSFERABLE.  NO REFUNDS, NO EXCHANGES, NO RESALE, NOT REDEEMABLE FOR CASH. IF YOU FAIL, FOR ANY REASON, TO MAKE A PAYMENT, YOU MAY VOID YOUR TICKET AND YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE A REFUND. A VALID PASSPORT IS REQUIRED FOR TRAVEL OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. IF THE EVENT IS OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, PLEASE BE SURE THAT YOU HAVE A VALID PASSPORT PRIOR TO MAKING A PURCHASE, AS NO REFUNDS OR EXCHANGES WILL BE AVAILABLE IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO TRAVEL FOR ANY REASON.

Before purchasing tickets, carefully review your event and your selections. You agree that you will not attempt to evade, avoid, or circumvent any refund prohibitions in any manner with regard to tickets you purchased. Upon purchase, you agree that the credit card that you have on file with us will be charged. If you have made a purchase as part of a Payment Plan, you agree that the credit card that you have on file with us will be charged for the amounts and on the dates set forth in the Payment Schedule outlined during your purchase process. You agree that if such credit card expires, is invalid, is deleted or is otherwise not capable of effecting payment on the dates set forth in your Payment Schedule, we and/or TicketsToday will give you notice to the email you provided above and a period of 10 days to effect the payment. If we do not receive payment within such period, this Agreement will be deemed to be cancelled and all prior amounts will be forfeited. There are no additional fees or charges for a Payment Plan. Once your Initial Down Payment is received the price of the Purchased Items will not change. The Purchased Items will be set aside and held until the Final Payment made. You may pay the remaining balance at any time prior to the Final Payment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you will not seek a “chargeback” from the company whose credit card you used to purchase tickets. Should you do so, your tickets may be canceled, and we may, in our sole discretion, refuse to honor pending and future ticket purchases.

  1. Search, Ejection and Termination.

You and your belongings may be searched upon entry to, or otherwise in connection with your attendance at, the Event.  You hereby consent to such searches and forever waive any and all related claims that could arise.  If you elect to withdraw such consent to such searches, you may be denied access to the Event, or removed from the Event, without refund or other compensation.  Under certain facility rules, certain items may not be brought into certain events or premises, including, without limitation, alcohol, drugs, controlled substances, weapons of any kind (including toy weapons), professional cameras and recording devices, laser pointers, strobe lights, irritants, various forms of containers, and any other item noted as prohibited on the Event’s FAQ page or other information released by us.  Breach of this Policy or any applicable third party’s terms, conditions, rules or policies will terminate your license to attend the Event without refund or other compensation.

  1. Cancelled or Postponed Events; Refunds.

All CID Events are RAIN OR SHINE events, unless otherwise expressly noted in writing.  Without limiting the foregoing, weather or any other factor may make the Event impossible to produce or complete, in whole or in part.  In such instances, except as required or suggested by applicable authority or law, we have the sole and absolute discretion in making the final determination of cancellation, discontinuation, postponement and/or refund availability.  Without limiting anything set forth in this Section, if the Event is rescheduled, and you will not be able to attend the Event on the rescheduled date, you will be given an opportunity to request a refund prior to the rescheduled event date.  Without limiting anything set forth in this Section, a ticket to the Event is not for a specific artist or aspect of the Event.  Artists, schedules, production elements, vendors, art exhibits, amenities, and all other aspects of the Event are subject to change without notice and without grounds for refund. If we issue you a refund for a ticket due to a canceled or postponed event, we will issue a refund of the ticket’s face value paid. We will not be liable for travel or any other expenses that you or anyone else incurs in connection with a canceled or postponed event.

  1. Publicity Release; Information Sharing.

By attending an Event, you hereby irrevocably grant to Producer and its members, affiliates, designees, successors, assigns and licensees, the right to film and otherwise record you and use your name, image and likeness in any and all media for any purpose, including, without limitation, advertising and promotional purposes as well as in, on or in connection with future CID events and/or other events produced by Producer or any of Producer’s affiliates and hereby release Producer and each of their respective designees, successors, assigns, licensees and affiliates from any liability with respect thereto.

Without limiting anything set forth herein, by purchasing a ticket to, and/or attending, the Event you acknowledge and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions set forth in the CID Privacy Policy.  Without limiting anything set forth in the CID Privacy Policy, you acknowledge and agree the Producer may share your personally identifiable information (including, without limitation, your name, address and email address) with its parent, subsidiary, member and other affiliated companies and with other third parties in connection with the operation of our and/or their business.

  1. Third Party Aspects of the Event.

In connection with the Event we might display information about travel locations, tours, services, packages, transportation, hotel accommodations, currency, schedules, various forms of entertainment and many other things and amenities.  Much of this information is supplied to us by third parties (e.g., hotels, resorts, transportation companies, artists, concessionaries) and we cannot check the accuracy of such information.  Some of the goods and/or services which make up your purchase in connection with the Event are provided by third parties in accordance with their own terms and conditions which may limit or exclude such third party’s liability to you.  You understand that any violation of any third party’s terms and conditions may result in cancellation of your reservation, in your being denied access to the applicable aspect of the Event, in your forfeiting any monies paid for such amenity, and/or in our debiting your account for any costs we incur as a result of such violation. You agree that we are in no way responsible for the accuracy, timeliness or completeness of information we may obtain from third parties.  Your interaction with any third party is at your own risk, and we will have no liability with respect to the acts, omissions, errors, representations, warranties, breaches or negligence of any such third party or for any personal injuries, death, property damage, or other damages or expenses resulting from your interactions with any third party.

You agree to abide by the terms and conditions of purchase imposed by any third party with whom you elect to deal, including, but not limited to, payment of all amounts when due and compliance with the third party’s rules and restrictions regarding availability and use of goods, products and/or services.  Some hotels and resorts or other third parties may require you to present a credit card or cash deposit upon check-in to cover additional expenses incurred during your stay. Such deposit is unrelated to any payment received by Producer for your hotel booking or other transaction. Some hotels and resorts or other third parties may require you to present a valid Passport upon check in. You acknowledge that some third parties offering certain services and/or activities may require you to sign their liability waiver prior to participating in the service and/or activity they offer.  You understand that any violation of any such third party’s rules and restrictions may result in cancellation of your reservation(s), in your being denied access to the Event, in your forfeiting any monies paid for such reservation(s), and/or in our debiting your account for any costs we incur as a result of such violation.

We reserve the right to take exclusive control and defense of any claim, and you will cooperate fully with us in asserting any available defenses.

  1. Governing Law, Disputes, Including Mandatory Arbitration and Class Action Waiver

Any dispute or claim relating in any way to the products or services sold or distributed by us or through us, will be resolved by binding arbitration rather than in court, with the following exceptions:

  • You may assert claims in small claims court if your claims apply;
  • In the event that the arbitration agreement in this Policy 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 Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, and we both consent to the jurisdiction of those courts for such purposes.

The arbitration agreement in this Policy 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 this Policy. 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 this Policy as a court would.

To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to: CID Presents, LLC , 1 South Broad St, Ste. 1710, Philadelphia, PA, 19107, Attn: Legal. You may download the forms located at http://www.jamsadr.com. The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures or, if applicable, its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, and any applicable supplemental rules including its Consumer Arbitration Standards of Minimum Fairness. The JAMS Rules are available online at http://www.jamsadr.com or by calling (800)-352-5267. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by JAMS’s rules, but in no event will we pay for attorneys’ fees. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania. In the event that the location of the Arbitration (Philadelphia County, PA) is for any reason held to be unenforceable, the Arbitration shall take place in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed location.

We each agree that the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding, and that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. BY MAKING YOUR PURCHASE, YOU AGREE TO WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration section will be null and void and neither of us will be entitled to arbitrate our dispute. If any provision of this Purchase Policy shall be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from this Purchase Policy and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

  1. Miscellaneous.

Nothing contained in this Policy will be deemed to constitute either party as the agent or representative of the other party, or both parties as joint venturers or partners for any purpose.  You may not assign, delegate or transfer your rights, if any, or obligations under this Policy.  Producer may assign its rights and duties under this Policy without such assignment being considered a change to the Policy and without notice to you.  The terms and conditions set forth in this Policy represent the entire understanding and agreement between you and Producer relating to the precise subject matter herein and supersede any and all prior statements, understandings or agreements whether oral or written, and shall not be modified except in writing, signed by Producer.  Any waiver of any provision of these terms must be in writing signed by Producer to be valid.  A waiver of any provision hereunder shall not operate as a waiver of any other provision, or a continuing waiver of the same provision in the future.  If any court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of these terms to be void or unenforceable for any reason then such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of the court’s finding without affecting the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
